mcp-server-for-ynab: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/postman-standards/SKILL.md

postman-standards is a skill for Claude Code from hs737/mcp-server-for-ynab. It costs 28 tokens per session (563 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for maintaining Postman collections, which are saved HTTP request and test sets, alongside an API. Newman is the command-line tool commonly used to run those collections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a repository has an HTTP API and Postman or Newman files, especially after changing routes, request formats, response formats, variables, or tests. It is not intended for MCP-only projects without those files.
Why use it?
It helps keep API testing material aligned with the actual request and response contracts. It also prevents manually editing generated API descriptions or collections when they should be regenerated.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is hs737/mcp-server-for-ynab's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-server-for-ynab 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-for-ynab 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

postman-standards 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Postman standards

Scope: Use this skill only if this repo maintains Postman/Newman collections or an HTTP API. Many MCP-only Python repos do not—skip this skill if there is no postman/ or documented HTTP operator workflow.

Use when editing Postman surfaces or HTTP routes and you need collections to stay a high-quality operator and integration-testing surface.

Use when

  • This repo exposes HTTP endpoints (FastAPI, etc.) with Postman collections
  • Changing request or response shapes or route behavior
  • Updating Postman examples, naming, variables, or tests
  • Adding or updating OpenAPI- or script-generated Postman artifacts

Read first

  • AGENTS.md (if present)
  • README.md and pyproject.toml (generation scripts, if any)
  • .agents/skills/contract-sync/SKILL.md
  • OpenAPI or contract docs in this repo

Core rules

  1. Source of truth: contracts live in hand-authored Python (Pydantic models, route handlers, tests). OpenAPI and generated Postman collections are derived unless the repo documents otherwise.
    • Do not hand-edit generated OpenAPI or collection JSON; regenerate using commands in pyproject.toml, Makefile, or repo docs.
  2. Variable contract (inputs equal outputs):
    • Path params must use the OpenAPI parameter name as the Postman variable name.
    • Post-scripts that capture ids must write to the same canonical keys the collection documents.
  3. Every request needs a description with: Purpose:, Auth:, Reads:, Writes:, Assumptions:, Side Effects:, Downstream:, Notes:.
  4. Variables: {{baseUrl}} in environment; collection variables for workflow ids; never hardcode tokens or production ids.
  5. Body examples: happy path, minimal payload, and a common edge case where applicable.
  6. Post-script tests: assert status and stable fields; avoid brittle full-body string matches on dynamic content.

Postman runtime note

Postman and Newman run JavaScript in the sandbox, not Python from this repo. Shared logic belongs in repo templates injected at generation time—not imported Python modules.

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.

postman-standards is a skill published in the GitHub repository hs737/mcp-server-for-ynab (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 563 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
