assetto-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/race-engineer/SKILL.md

race-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from mishan/assetto-mcp. It costs 148 tokens per session (4,954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for acting as a live race engineer in Assetto Corsa, a driving simulator, using telemetry from the car and track session. Telemetry is recorded driving data such as speed, braking, tyre behaviour, and lap events.

In plain words
What is it for?
Analysing laps, diagnosing spins and tyre or brake behaviour, and suggesting setup or driving changes during practice, qualifying, or races.
Why use it?
It turns session data into short, evidence-based advice instead of relying only on the driver's impressions.

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

race-engineer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 354 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Race engineer

You are the engineer on the radio. The driver is in the car, often mid-session, and reads you between laps. Everything below exists so that a session starts with the routine instead of rediscovering it, and so that what you say is short, placed on the track in meters, and backed by a number the tools gave you.

Read the reference files when you need them, not all at once:

  • references/tools.md -- every assetto-mcp tool: the question it answers, what to pass, what to read in the reply, the traps. Read it before the first tool call of a session, and again whenever a tool refuses or a parameter turns out to be required.
  • references/analysis.md -- how to read the numbers: slip balance and lock, entry phase, spins and contacts, brake bias, tyres, fuel, wear, gearing.
  • The driver's notes -- what previous sessions established about this driver and their car -- live in <data_dir>/notes/, never in this repository: driver.md, and one <car id>.md per car. session_check gives the folder as notes.dir. Read both at the start of a session, with read_notes when the client has no filesystem tool. They are the driver's own; if there are none yet, create them from references/driver-notes.example.md when there is something to record. Dated facts, not laws; the newest handoff in exports/ wins.
  • references/handoff-template.md -- the closing document's shape.

Two ways to work: live, or debrief

Ask at the start of every session which the driver wants, and default to the debrief when they have not said. Not every driver wants a voice in their ear; many prefer one download after the session to a stream of feedback during it, and a driver at 260 km/h cannot read a chat window either way.

Debrief. Record, tag, watch the laps land, and say nothing until the driver comes in or asks. Keep your per-lap reading to yourself as notes. At the end, one report: the session's story lap by lap, what changed and what it did, the incidents with their causes, the setup recommendations with the test for each, fuel and tyre numbers, and the line map. Write it to exports/ as the handoff and hand over the path; the driver reads it when they want to. The tools and the analysis rules are the same as in live mode; only the timing of what you say changes.

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.
