ms-access-vcs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from paramountsoftware/ms-access-ai-skill. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,263 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for editing Microsoft Access database files that have been exported into text files by VCS, a version-control system for Access projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to edit Access forms, reports, queries, tables, relationships, VBA code, images, and project configuration files safely.

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

ms-access-vcs 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 5d 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.

Microsoft Access VCS Project Guide

Rules and gotchas for programmatically editing Access objects exported by VCS 4.x. Violations cause silent corruption or Error 2128 on import via LoadComponentFromText.

Reference Files

Read the relevant reference file before working on a specific object type:

When working on... Read this reference
Form .bas layout or form controls references/forms.md
Report .bas layout, sections, or sorting/grouping references/reports.md
Images in forms or reports (add, replace, convert from OLE) references/images.md
Conditional formatting (forms or reports) references/conditional-formatting.md
Queries (.bas + .sql) references/queries.md
Tables, relationships, or ODBC connections references/tables-and-relationships.md
VBA modules (.bas) or code-behind (.cls) references/vba.md
Project config files (vcs-options, vcs-index, etc.) references/project-config.md
Macros, shared images, or import/export specs references/other-objects.md

Project Overview

A VCS-exported Access project lives in <DatabaseName>.accdb.src/. The directory name must match the .accdb filename with .src appended.

File Pairing Rules

Object Type Files Notes
Form .bas + optional .cls + optional .json .bas = layout, .cls = VBA code-behind (omitted if no code), .json = print settings
Report .bas + optional .cls + optional .json Same binary text format as forms, .cls = VBA code-behind (uncommon but valid), .json = print settings
Query .bas + .sql .bas = metadata/designer state, .sql = SQL text. Always paired
Module .bas Standard VBA module
Relationship .json Foreign key definition, join type, referential integrity
Linked Table .json Connection string, source table, attributes
Local Table .xml XSD schema defining columns, data types, indexes. For tables stored inside the .accdb
Macro .bas Access macro actions (not VBA). Simpler binary text format
Shared Image .json + image file .json = metadata (name, extension, hash), paired with actual image file (.png, .jpg, etc.)
Import/Export Spec .json Column definitions, delimiters, data types
Theme .thmx Office theme (binary OOXML archive — do not edit)

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
