mcpforge: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/repo-onboarding/SKILL.md

repo-onboarding is a skill for Claude Code from saagpatel/mcpforge. It costs 48 tokens per session (835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for getting familiar with the mcpforge codebase before making changes. It explains the project layout, how its generation and checks work, and where edits are safest.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when onboarding to mcpforge or deciding where to change generation, validation, command-line behavior, server output, or tests.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent searching through an unfamiliar repository and lowers the risk of changing the wrong part.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is saagpatel/mcpforge's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcpforge 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 mcpforge 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

repo-onboarding 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 6d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

repo-onboarding

Beginner At A Glance

  • What this skill does: Gives a fast mental model of how mcpforge is laid out and where to look first.
  • Use this when: Use when starting work in mcpforge, especially before changing generation, validation, or CLI behavior.
  • Say it naturally: "Onboard me to mcpforge" | "How is mcpforge structured?" | "Where should I edit this in mcpforge?"

PM Output Style

  • Use the big-picture PM update format by default: Project, Goal, Headline, State, Impact, Why it matters, What you need from me, Blockers.
  • Keep language beginner-friendly and avoid technical receipts unless explicitly requested.

Skill Contract v2

use_when:

  • The current workspace is ~/Projects/mcpforge.
  • The user asks for onboarding, architecture, safe edit targets, or a quick mental model before changes.
  • A request touches generation, validation, CLI behavior, MCP server output, or tests and repo context would reduce risk.

dont_use_when:

  • The task is a tiny isolated edit where repo structure is already obvious from the touched file.

trigger_phrases:

  • onboard me to mcpforge; explain this repo; where should I change this; how is mcpforge organized

anti_triggers:

  • one-line typo only

expected_inputs:

  • User goal, touched area if known, and current repo state.

expected_outputs:

  • Short repo map, likely edit points, validation path, and top risks.

success_criteria:

  • A collaborator can start editing the right files with a clear understanding of how to verify the change.

companion_skills:

  • mcp-debugger,promptfoo-eval-loop,quality-gatekeeper

risk_class: low

default_chain_role: primary

Repo Map

  • README.md: product promise, CLI surface, and supported workflows.
  • pyproject.toml: package metadata, dependencies, scripts, and test/lint defaults.
  • src/: primary implementation. Start here for CLI, planning, generation, validation, and MCP server code.
  • tests/: regression surface. Prefer adding or updating tests when behavior changes.
  • examples/: useful for understanding generated output and intended use patterns.
  • HANDOFF.md and IMPLEMENTATION-ROADMAP.md: good context when the task is roadmap-shaped rather than purely local.

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.
