mal-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/live-audit/SKILL.md

live-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Grinv/mal-mcp. It costs 81 tokens per session (6,775 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-specific testing and review procedure for the mal-mcp package, an MCP server connected to the Tenrai and MyAnimeList APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running build, test, and lint checks; testing unusual inputs and missing records; checking reversible mutations; reviewing source code; and comparing documentation with the implementation.
Why use it?
It helps find bugs in live tool behavior, source code, input handling, documentation, and package consistency before release.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

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

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

live-audit 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 today.

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 — 454 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

live-audit — mal-mcp health check + edge-case hunt

Repo-specific playbook, for any agent/model working on this repo (not tied to a particular harness — see AGENTS.md's own agent-agnostic framing). Use it when asked to test/audit the published or just-fixed mal-mcp package, hunt for bugs/edge cases, or repeat "the same kind of testing as before." Sibling repos (tmdb-mcp, steam-games-mcp, anilist-mcp-server) keep their own live-audit/SKILL.md — when either this file or a sibling's improves, sync the useful parts both ways rather than letting them drift.

Goal: find real bugs/inaccuracies in the live tool behavior (against the real Tenrai API, its official-MAL-API fallback, and the official MAL API itself) and in the source, then fix what's found. Read AGENTS.md first if it's not already in context — every fix must follow its conventions (guard()/ never-throw, format.schemas.ts's .strict() shaper/schema 1:1 rule vs. clients/mal.ts's deliberate z.looseObject(), commit author/no-Co-Authored-By, etc.).

This assumes the server is already reachable as an MCP connection in your current session (e.g. as mcp__mal__* tools in Claude Code). If it isn't connected, connect it first rather than skipping straight to step 1.

Contents

  • How to run this: fan the sections out, don't walk them inline
    1. Confirm "published"/"fixed" actually means what you think it means
    1. Static pass first (cheap, catches regressions before you burn API calls)
    1. Safety rules for live testing (read before calling anything)
    1. Live edge-case sweep
    1. Source-level code review
    1. Docs/metadata consistency
    1. Report, then fix only what's confirmed
    1. Commit + changelog, if asked

How to run this: fan the sections out, don't walk them inline

Split the sections below across concurrent subagents and run them in parallel. Walking this file top to bottom in one thread is the wrong default: the sections touch independent surfaces, so serial execution wastes wall-clock and burns the main thread's context on file dumps it only needs a conclusion from. If your environment has no concurrency primitive, run inline and say so in the report.

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.

live-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository Grinv/mal-mcp (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 6,775 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
