JetBrains MPS is a development environment for creating domain-specific languages, which are programming languages designed for a particular field or task. It provides editors with features such as completion, semantic checks, and type checking, and can generate code in languages including Java and XML.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00089 | $0.02063 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00825 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00413 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00206 |
Grade A, and why
mps-aspect-intentions 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 2d 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.

MPS Intentions Aspect
Loading companion skills
Companion names in this skill are lazy dependencies: load only those relevant to the current task. If this skill came from an MCP server, use the host's skill loader to resolve the companion's unique discovered entry URI on the same host-assigned originating server. If the host has no server-backed skill loader, stop and report that limitation; do not silently fall back to a filesystem copy. If this skill came from a filesystem catalog, load the named sibling from that same catalog at <skills-root>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md, even if remote skill loaders are also available. Do not invent a tool name or server endpoint.
Intentions are user-invoked transformations shown in the Alt+Enter popup on a node. They are the canonical way to offer optional refactorings (wrap, convert, introduce, preview) alongside quick-fixes. Authoring lives in <lang>/languageModels/intentions.mps, language jetbrains.mps.lang.intentions.
Critical Directives
- Edit intention roots through MPS MCP tools (
mps_mcp_insert_root_node_from_json,mps_mcp_update_node,mps_mcp_parse_java_and_insert). Do not hand-edit serialized.mpsfiles. - The intentions model must list every language used in any block body as a used language. In particular, the
add new initialized(...)surface syntax requiresjetbrains.mps.lang.actions— add it withmps_mcp_model_used_language(kind="language"). Plain (non-NF_*) variants likeparent.role.add new(C)do not need this import. - Use
n as C(MPSSNodeTypeCastExpressionwithasCast=true) — never a Java(C) ncast. - Use
:eq:(NPEEqualsExpression) instead of==whenever either operand might benull. - The execute body runs on the EDT inside an MPS write action automatically — do not spawn threads or open dialogs that block.
descriptionFunctionruns every time the Alt+Enter popup opens — keep it cheap.- After editing, validate with
mps_mcp_check_root_node_problemson the intention root and rebuild the language before testing.

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.

mps-aspect-intentions is a skill published in the GitHub repository JetBrains/MPS (1,666 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 2,063 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
