mycelium-forage

mycelium-forage is a skill for Claude Code from dihannahdi/mycelium. It costs 200 tokens per session (2,880 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for investigating data incidents and answering large DataHub questions. DataHub is a catalogue that stores information about data assets and their metadata.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare on-call incident reports, identify likely causes and affected data, find owners, plan next actions, and record what remains unknown.
Why use it?
It limits how much catalogue information is loaded at once, helping investigations stay focused when the available metadata is too large for the working context.

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

mycelium-forage 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 266 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Mycelium — Foraging for Context

You are investigating a data problem through DataHub, and the constraint you are working under is context, not access. You can reach every entity in the catalogue. You cannot afford to read them.

This skill gives you a discipline for acquiring only what the question needs, and a set of tools that make that discipline measurable.


Multi-Agent Compatibility

Works across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf.

What works everywhere: the whole foraging workflow, via the mycelium MCP server or the mycelium CLI.

Claude Code-specific: allowed-tools in the frontmatter above. Everything else is plain tool calls.

Requires the Mycelium MCP server. Either point it at a running DataHub:

claude mcp add mycelium \
  -e MYCELIUM_BACKEND=live \
  -e DATAHUB_GMS_URL="http://localhost:8080" \
  -e DATAHUB_GMS_TOKEN="<token>" \
  -- uvx --from mycelium-datahub mycelium-mcp

…or run it offline against the bundled showcase-ecommerce snapshot by omitting the DataHub variables. The snapshot is real DataHub metadata, so the workflow below is identical either way.


Not This Skill

If the user wants to... Use this instead
Find an entity by keyword or metadata /datahub-search
Trace lineage they already know the shape of /datahub-lineage
Add or change metadata (descriptions, tags, owners) /datahub-enrich
Create assertions or manage incidents /datahub-quality
Configure the DataHub connection /datahub-setup

Key boundary: /datahub-lineage answers "what feeds into X?" — you name the entity and it walks the graph. Mycelium answers "which handful of the ten thousand things in here actually explain this symptom?" — you name the symptom, and it decides where to walk and how much of each node to read. Reach for /datahub-lineage when you know the entity; reach for this when you know only the problem.

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.
