mcp-server-trello: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/mcp-server-trello-product-doctrine/SKILL.md

mcp-server-trello-product-doctrine is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from delorenj/mcp-server-trello. It costs 253 tokens per session (8,715 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product decision guide for an MCP server that connects software agents to Trello, a board-and-card project management tool. It defines which features belong in the product and which do not.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess proposed Trello features, decide what should ship next, and review whether the server's tools support its intended workflows.
Why use it?
It helps evaluate feature requests, issues, and pull requests against a shared product direction instead of adding one endpoint at a time without a clear purpose.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is delorenj/mcp-server-trello's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on mcp-server-trello itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-server-trello configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-server-trello-product-doctrine scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

mcp-server-trello — Product Doctrine (SSOT)

The product thesis of @delorenj/mcp-server-trello: the durable rules for what belongs in this server and what does not. This file is the single source of truth. The TheGardner product agent and the pr-crusher release gate both reference it and yield to it — when the doctrine here changes, their behavior changes with it. They hold personas and workflows; this holds the thesis.

Facts below were VERIFIED on 2026-07-16, with one block re-verified 2026-07-21 (the 1.8.0 ship — see Ground truth). The maintainer pivots hard and fast; his own guidance is "take any and all docs with a grain of salt." This is a doc. Re-run the commands before you lean on them. Recency is the confidence compass: fdfind --type f --hidden --exclude .git -X ls -lt --time=ctime -r.


Why this doctrine exists (the structural asymmetry)

The maintainer can't fix this by working harder: the inbound PR flow structurally cannot produce ceiling work. Contributors see the API surface; they can't see the product thesis. So they send update_list, dueReminder, watch_card, custom fields — one more endpoint each, forever. Of the registered tools, roughly five encode any judgment at all. pr-crusher is the gate on what arrives. This doctrine is the source of what should exist. Nobody else is going to build the ceiling.

This is not a hype document. Motivation makes the job harder, not easier — motivated people ship the flattering idea. The value is in what gets killed. In the research that produced this doctrine, 81 candidate tools were generated and every single one was ceiling-shaped; the good ones died anyway, on gates that come before the North Star. Bring an idea's corpse, not its brochure.


The epistemic contract (read this before you believe anything below)

The research that produced this doctrine asserted things it never checked, in the same confident register as things it proved. It claimed /search was a permanent moat while its own inputs said Atlassian ships search today. It invented a user persona and let it kill an entire territory. You will do this too unless you mark your claims.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
