MPS: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/mps-language-analysis/SKILL.md

mps-language-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JetBrains/MPS. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,773 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An analysis guide for JetBrains MPS languages, which are custom languages built inside the MPS development environment. It maps their concepts, properties, relationships, editors, rules, behaviours, and metadata.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a language's structure, find concepts and examples, understand editor and constraint aspects, and obtain precise concept names for model blueprints.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand an unfamiliar MPS language before editing models or creating new language elements.

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

This is JetBrains/MPS's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on MPS 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 MPS configures →

About the project

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.

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

mps-language-analysis 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/concept_shape.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Language Analysis

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.

Workflow for inspecting an MPS language from a name (e.g. jetbrains.mps.lang.core). Returns concepts, metadata, structural info, and pointers to declarations and sample nodes.

Critical Directives

  • Use the fully qualified language name (e.g. jetbrains.mps.lang.core) — single-letter shorthand (j.m.l.core) requires resolution first via mps_mcp_get_project_structure.
  • For the qualifiedName returned by mps_mcp_get_concept_details, use it as the concept field in JSON blueprints. It is unambiguous.

Analyzing a Language by Name

  1. Verify Language: call mps_mcp_get_project_structure with the language name as a filter (startingPoint: My_Language). This confirms existence and provides the UUID.
  2. Retrieve Concepts: use mps_mcp_get_concept_details with the language name in languageRefs. Both conceptRefs and languageRefs accept either one value or a JSON array (real or written as a string); omit the unused selector.
  3. Extract Data: the response includes:
    • Name: concept FQN.
    • Description: found in shortDescription.
    • Metadata: isRootable, isAbstract, and the conceptReference ID.
    • Structure: properties, children, and references are detailed here.
  4. Drill Down:
    • Declaration: use the sourceNode reference with mps_mcp_open_node to open the definition.
    • Examples: use mps_mcp_query_nodes with FIND_INSTANCES (sampleOnly: true) to get a sample node. Then use mps_mcp_print_node to see its canonical JSON structure for use as a template.
    • Inheritance: load the mps-language-inheritance skill for deeper hierarchy analysis.

What ships with it

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.
