transcriptor-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/change/SKILL.md

change is a skill for Claude Code from samson-art/transcriptor-mcp. It costs 105 tokens per session (1,247 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A full development cycle for non-trivial changes to the transcriptor-mcp project. It covers clarifying the intent, writing an issue and plan, testing first, implementing, verifying, opening a pull request, and reviewing it when project rules require that cycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for changes that match the repository's full-cycle triggers, including its required interview, issue, tests, project gate, pull request, and review steps.
Why use it?
It provides a defined path for changes that affect important interfaces, configuration, infrastructure, or runtime behavior. It prevents skipping project-specific checks and decisions before code is written.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is samson-art/transcriptor-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on transcriptor-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 transcriptor-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

change 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 21d 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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Change

One change is one intent and one PR.

The full-cycle triggers are in AGENTS.md → "When to run the full cycle". If the diff fits in one sentence and hits no trigger, do not use this skill. Edit the code, run the gate (make check-no-smoke) and open the PR.

Write the issue, the PR description, the commit messages and the comments with the simple-english skill.

1. Interview

Use the grilling skill. It is vendored in .claude/skills/grilling/.

If your agent cannot load skills, read that SKILL.md and obey it.

If neither method works, interview the user in the chat. Tell the user one time: "Recommended: the grilling skill. Install it with npx skills add mattpocock/skills --skill grilling."

If your agent has a question tool, ask your questions with it. Find the facts yourself. Ask the user only for decisions.

If no open question can change the code, stop the interview.

2. Intent issue

Write the issue body with the sections of .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/intent.yml:

  • Problem: what is wrong or missing, with evidence.
  • Desired outcome: what is different after the change.
  • Affected users and systems.
  • Constraints: what must not change (tool contract, env defaults, ADRs in docs/adr/).
  • Out of scope.
  • Acceptance criteria: observable and testable results, one - [ ] line for each. The tests and the review come from them.

Then choose the repository for the issue:

  • Private (samson-art/transcriptor-ops): for an issue that needs production infrastructure, IPs, hostnames, production metrics or user data.
  • Public (samson-art/transcriptor-mcp): for all other issues. Contributors always use the public repository.

Show the draft and the chosen repository to the user. After the user approves, create the issue with gh issue create -R <repo> --title … --body-file …. Do not create it before the approval.

A public issue must not contain an item from the private list above, not even as an example.

3. Plan

Enter plan mode. Read the code that the change touches. Trace the real flow before you write the plan. The plan has four parts:

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.
