viyan-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/middleware-pipeline/SKILL.md

nitrostack-middleware-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nekhss/viyan-mcp. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,468 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of nitrostack-middleware-pipeline, MIT.

A set of coding guidelines for request-processing steps in NitroStack, an SDK for building MCP servers that expose tools to AI clients. It covers checks, request validation, response changes, logging, error handling, and performance tracking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to allow or reject requests, validate inputs, log activity, transform responses, handle errors, and measure tool performance.
Why use it?
It gives each request a consistent place for common checks and processing instead of repeating the same code inside every tool.

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

This is nekhss/viyan-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on viyan-mcp 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 viyan-mcp 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

nitrostack-middleware-pipeline 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 10d 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.

When to Use

Use this skill when implementing request validation, authorization checks, response mapping, logging, error handling, or performance tracking on NitroStack tool methods.


1. Guards (Guard and @UseGuards)

Guards determine if a request should be processed by a tool handler based on authentication, authorization, or other conditions.

Interface:

import { Guard, ExecutionContext } from '@nitrostack/core';

export interface Guard {
  canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): boolean | Promise<boolean>;
}

Example:

import { Guard, ExecutionContext, Injectable } from '@nitrostack/core';

@Injectable()
export class RolesGuard implements Guard {
  async canActivate(context: ExecutionContext): Promise<boolean> {
    const userRoles = context.clientMetadata?.roles || [];
    return userRoles.includes('admin');
  }
}

Apply the guard using @UseGuards(...):

import { Tool, UseGuards, z } from '@nitrostack/core';
import { RolesGuard } from './roles.guard.js';

export class AdminTools {
  @Tool({
    name: 'delete_system_logs',
    description: 'Delete all system logs from the server.',
    inputSchema: z.object({}),
  })
  @UseGuards(RolesGuard)
  async deleteLogs() {
    return { success: true };
  }
}

2. Interceptors (InterceptorInterface and @UseInterceptors)

Interceptors can transform/intercept input arguments or mapped output from a tool method execution.

Interface:

import { ExecutionContext } from '@nitrostack/core';

export interface InterceptorInterface {
  intercept(context: ExecutionContext, next: () => Promise<unknown>): Promise<unknown>;
}

Example:

import { InterceptorInterface, ExecutionContext, Injectable } from '@nitrostack/core';

@Injectable()
export class TimingInterceptor implements InterceptorInterface {
  async intercept(context: ExecutionContext, next: () => Promise<unknown>): Promise<unknown> {
    const start = Date.now();
    const result = await next();
    const duration = Date.now() - start;
    context.logger.info(`Execution took ${duration}ms`);
    return {
      ...result,
      _meta: { durationMs: duration }
    };
  }
}

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.
