mtk-agent-toolkit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/promote-lesson/SKILL.md

promote-lesson is a skill for Claude Code from moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,473 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for moving a personal engineering lesson into the team-maintained lessons file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a personal lesson has become broadly applicable or when you want to promote guidance from personal notes or Claude Code memory to the team.
Why use it?
It turns useful knowledge stored by one developer into a documented rule that other contributors can follow.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mtk-agent-toolkit 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 mtk-agent-toolkit configures →

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

promote-lesson 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 yesterday.

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.

Promote Lesson

Overview

Personal lessons are gitignored or live outside the repo entirely — they belong to the engineer, not the team. When one matures into a rule every contributor should follow, promote it to the committed tasks/lessons.md. This skill is the explicit, audited path for that move.

Two personal stores feed it, and the second is easy to forget precisely because MTK does not own it:

  • .claude/lessons/personal.md — MTK's own personal store.
  • ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-~/.claude}/projects/<sanitized-cwd>/memory/ — Claude Code's native memory. Its feedback files are engineer corrections with a stated reason and its project files are constraints not derivable from the code, which is the same content tasks/lessons.md exists to hold. A team that writes memories and never promotes them ends up with its real rules in one engineer's home directory.

When To Use

  • The engineer asks to "share a personal lesson with the team"
  • A personal lesson has recurred 3+ times and clearly applies to others
  • The engineer says "promote", "share", "make this team-wide", "add this to lessons"
  • lesson-mining surfaced a native-memory entry as a promotion candidate (rubric R7)

When NOT To Use

  • Lesson is genuinely personal preference (style, individual workflow)
  • Lesson is already in tasks/lessons.md
  • Neither personal store exists or both are empty (nothing to promote)
  • The memory is type: user (a fact about the engineer) or type: reference (a pointer to an external resource) — neither is a team lesson

Workflow

  1. Locate the candidate sources. Resolve to main worktree if in a worktree. There are two, and both are personal-scoped stores holding team-worthy rules:
    • .claude/lessons/personal.md — MTK's own gitignored personal store.
    • ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-~/.claude}/projects/<sanitized-cwd>/memory/ — Claude Code's native memory, where <sanitized-cwd> is the project working directory with / replaced by - (the same segment the session transcripts live under). The project segment is the parent of memory/: there is no top-level ~/.claude/memory/, and looking there returns "no memories" however many exist. Files with metadata.type: feedback or project are the promotable ones; user and reference memories are about the engineer or point at external resources and are almost never team lessons.

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.

promote-lesson is a skill published in the GitHub repository moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,473 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
