scholar-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/releasing/SKILL.md

releasing is a skill for Claude Code from pvliesdonk/scholar-mcp. It costs 54 tokens per session (3,591 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of releasing, MIT.

A release-process guide for a Python service and its Claude Code plugin, covering stable and pre-release channels, release notes, artifacts, and versioned manifests.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare releases, promote versions, test release artifacts, publish release notes, and package the service for Claude Code.
Why use it?
It reduces release errors by keeping package versions, plugin manifests, marketplace entries, and release steps aligned.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is pvliesdonk/scholar-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on scholar-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 scholar-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

releasing 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 today.

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.

Releasing

Claude Code plugin channel

.claude-plugin/plugin/ ships this server as a Claude Code plugin: .claude-plugin/plugin.json (identity + version) and an exec-form .mcp.json that launches the released PyPI package with uvx --from <pkg>==<version>. Both manifests are version-coupled to the stable release stream — scripts/stamp_manifests.py stamps and stages them inside each stable release PR, so the marketplace entry published by the release workflow always installs the version it points at. That entry is written into the catalog's .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, the only path Claude Code loads a marketplace from — a manifest anywhere else is not a marketplace, and the publish job fails rather than bumping one. The marketplace entry is a rolling pointer, so on rc prepares the script leaves both files at the last published stable rather than pointing everyone browsing the catalog at a candidate (tests/test_release_flow_contract.py gates the invocation pairing and this skip). The env block in .mcp.json, the plugin README, and any skills/ directories are project-owned content: the files are seeded once and never re-rendered by template updates. Values in env may reference plugin userConfig entries as ${user_config.<id>} declared in plugin.json — exec-form fields only; shell-form command strings reject the substitution.

To generate the plugin's configuration screen from the config surface instead of hand-editing it, declare a files: pair in config-presentation.domain.yml: the plugin.json path with kind: claude-plugin-user-config and a fields: map (same field specs as the mcpb install screen (see the config-contract skill)), plus the .mcp.json path with kind: claude-plugin-env and fields_from: naming the first entry. One fields map then drives both the userConfig object and the ${user_config.<id>} env wiring, and scripts/gen_config_surface.py --check gates the pair against drift.

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.
