limps: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/mcp-code-review/SKILL.md

mcp-code-review is a skill for Claude Code from paulbreuler/limps. It costs 40 tokens per session (974 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-focused code review method for repositories containing MCP servers or large-language-model integrations. MCP is a way for AI systems to use external tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the current Git changes or a specified path, component, diff, or pull request, including dependencies and lockfiles.
Why use it?
It helps find correctness, security, dependency, supply-chain, performance, and AI-safety risks that a general code review may miss.

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

mcp-code-review 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 1mo 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.

MCP + LLM Code Review (limps)

Purpose

Perform a security-focused, test-minded code review with emphasis on MCP servers, LLM safety, and performance risks in this repository.

Scope

Use $ARGUMENTS as the scope (paths, diff range, PR number, or component name). If no scope is provided, review the current git diff.

Workflow

  1. Establish context
    • Read CLAUDE.md and relevant package docs.
    • Identify the target package (packages/limps or packages/limps-headless).
  2. Threat intel + dependency hygiene
    • Search authoritative sources for new MCP/LLM or supply-chain issues:
      • OWASP LLM Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, npm advisories, GitHub Security Advisories.
    • Audit npm dependencies (use repo scripts when available):
      • npm audit --workspaces --include=prod
      • npm audit --workspaces --omit=dev (if prod-only is needed)
    • Check for outdated or abandoned packages:
      • npm outdated --workspaces
    • Inspect dependency tree for suspicious packages or name lookalikes:
      • npm ls --all --workspaces
    • Verify lockfile integrity expectations:
      • Prefer npm ci for clean installs (verifies package-lock.json integrity).
  3. Enumerate change surface
    • List changed files and inspect diffs before diving into code.
  4. Security-first review
    • Validate input handling, path safety, and external command usage.
    • Check for secret exposure (logs, errors, telemetry).
  5. MCP/LLM safety review
    • Review tool schemas, argument validation, and permission boundaries.
    • Identify prompt injection vectors and untrusted content handling.
  6. Correctness and reliability
    • Look for logic errors, race conditions, and edge cases.
  7. Performance and cost
    • Identify expensive operations, redundant work, or unbounded processing.
  8. Tests
    • Confirm coverage for new behavior and regression risk areas.

Repo-Specific Risk Areas

Focus extra scrutiny on:

  • packages/limps/src/server.ts, src/tools/*, src/resources/* (MCP tool/resource behavior)
  • packages/limps/src/rlm/* and process_doc(s) tools (untrusted code execution)
  • packages/limps/src/indexer.ts and src/watcher.ts (filesystem and database safety)
  • packages/limps-headless/src/tools/* (external fetchers, parsing, extraction)

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.

mcp-code-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository paulbreuler/limps (10 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 974 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
