anilist-mcp-server: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/mutation-test-safety/SKILL.md

mutation-test-safety is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Grinv/anilist-mcp-server. It costs 51 tokens per session (360 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A safety procedure for testing tools that change a real account, such as adding, updating, or deleting data. It requires recording the original state, making the smallest test change, and restoring and checking that state.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for safely testing account mutations by reading the current state, applying one limited change, confirming it, reverting it, and confirming the revert.
Why use it?
It prevents live tests from leaving an account changed or affecting someone else's data.

This is Grinv/anilist-mcp-server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on anilist-mcp-server 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 anilist-mcp-server 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

mutation-test-safety 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Mutation testing safety contract

Applies to any mutation tool (add/update/remove/delete/post/toggle_follow/ toggle_favourite/etc.) once the user has given explicit go-ahead to test it against a real account. For every mutation call:

  1. Capture the exact pre-state first (via the matching read tool) — not just an assumption of what it probably is. A target with no existing state has a clear pre-state too: "absent."
  2. Make the smallest possible change that still exercises the behavior (e.g. one field, not a full rewrite).
  3. Verify the change landed by re-fetching via a read tool — a mutation's own echoed response is not always trustworthy (some tools have historically omitted fields they actually changed).
  4. Revert to the captured pre-state immediately, in the same turn, and verify the revert too. Don't batch several mutations and revert at the end — revert each one before moving to the next unrelated test.
  5. Never leave the target in a different state than you found it, even if a step errors partway through — check and clean up regardless.
  6. Never touch an uninvolved third party. Self-targeted mutations (a self-message, a self-created and immediately-deleted test post/ thread/comment) are fine; acting on a random other real user/account is not.
Changes

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.
