mcp-metro: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/edit-claude-files/SKILL.md

edit-claude-files is a skill for Claude Code from OlliMakarova/mcp-metro. It costs 69 tokens per session (585 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of edit-claude-files, MIT.

A file-editing procedure for files inside Claude Code’s .claude/ directory, including skills, hooks, agents, and settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever you create or modify configuration, instructions, scripts, or hooks under .claude/.
Why use it?
Those files are watched and direct edits can be blocked or leave partially updated files. The procedure uses a temporary copy and an atomic save.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is OlliMakarova/mcp-metro's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-metro 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 mcp-metro configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is Read, Write, Edit, MultiEdit, Bash(node scripts/fcp.js *), Bash(rm:*).

Reuse

Nothing to install: this file belongs to OlliMakarova/mcp-metro. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

edit-claude-files 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.

Origin

What it actually says

Editing files in .claude/

Scope of this rule — read carefully. It applies to every file under .claude/ — not only SKILL.md. This includes scripts in .claude/skills/<skill>/scripts/, hooks in .claude/hooks/, supporting reference files, settings.json, and anything else inside the directory. Claude Code watches the whole tree and reloads on change; direct writes risk partial reads and inconsistent state during multi-edit sessions.

To enforce this, settings.json denies the Write and Edit tools on .claude/** outright. Attempting a direct edit will fail the permission check — that is intentional, not a bug.

Protocol — every file, every time:

  1. Copy the target file to a temp location outside .claude/ (works for any file type: md, js, json, cjs, …):
    node scripts/fcp.js tmp-edit.md .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
    node scripts/fcp.js tmp-helper.js .claude/skills/<skill-name>/scripts/helper.js
    
  2. Edit the temp file — make ALL changes there (multiple Edit calls are fine).
  3. Save atomically via the helper script (same command, reversed argument order):
    node scripts/fcp.js .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md tmp-edit.md
    node scripts/fcp.js .claude/skills/<skill-name>/scripts/helper.js tmp-helper.js
    
  4. Remove the temp file:
    rm tmp-edit.md
    

Creating a new file in .claude/ — same protocol, just start from an empty temp file:

# Write the new file somewhere OUTSIDE .claude/, then fcp.js it in:
node scripts/fcp.js .claude/skills/<skill-name>/scripts/new-script.js tmp-new-script.js
rm tmp-new-script.js

CRITICAL: Never use Edit or Write directly on files inside .claude/ — always go through the temp-copy workflow above. This covers SKILL.md, scripts, hooks, agents, settings — everything.

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.
