mcp-server-manager: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/tui-cli/SKILL.md

tui-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sardine-ai/mcp-server-manager. It costs 83 tokens per session (2,066 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A consistency guide for projects that have both a terminal user interface (TUI) and a command-line interface (CLI), plus documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing commands, screens, keyboard shortcuts, settings, or other features to check the TUI, CLI, documentation, and feature registry together.
Why use it?
It prevents a feature from being added to only one interface or left out of the related documentation.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is sardine-ai/mcp-server-manager's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on mcp-server-manager 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 mcp-server-manager 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

tui-cli 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_checklist.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 305 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TUI + CLI + Documentation Parity Enforcer

⚠️ CRITICAL USAGE: This skill MUST be invoked for EVERY change that affects:

  • Commands (CLI or TUI)
  • Keyboard shortcuts
  • Screens or UI elements
  • Settings or configuration
  • Feature additions/modifications

Core Principle

Every feature in this project requires three-way parity:

  1. TUI Implementation - Interactive terminal UI with keyboard shortcuts
  2. CLI Implementation - Command-line interface with flags and options
  3. Documentation - Multiple doc files must stay synchronized

Missing any one = broken user experience.

How It Works

The skill:

  1. Detects your branch - If on a feature branch, compares with main; if on main, shows staged/unstaged changes
  2. Maps changed files - Groups modifications by feature type (CLI commands, TUI screens, shared logic, etc.)
  3. Extracts command info - Parses new/modified CLI commands from TypeScript files
  4. Updates documentation - Automatically updates docs/cli/, docs/tui/, AGENTS.md, and README.md with new commands and features
  5. Generates checklists - Creates customized verification items for each affected feature
  6. Filters noise - Ignores config files (package.json, package-lock.json) and re-export index files

Usage

Run the analysis script to generate your parity checklist and update documentation:

python3 .Codex/skills/tui-cli/scripts/generate_checklist.py

Output includes:

  • 🌿 Current branch info
  • 🔍 Number of source files modified across features
  • 📦 Configuration/dependency files (listed separately)
  • 📚 Documentation files that were updated
  • Feature-grouped file list
  • Customized parity checklist for each feature

Documentation Update Map

The skill automatically updates documentation based on file changes:

Changed File Documentation Updates
src/cli/commands/*.cmd.ts docs/cli/<category>.md, AGENTS.md (CLI Commands section), README.md
src/tui/screens/*.screen.ts docs/tui/screens.md, docs/tui/overview.md
src/tui/index.ts docs/tui/shortcuts.md, docs/tui/overview.md
src/services/*.service.ts (No direct doc update, but noted in parity checklist)
src/shared/features.ts (Feature registry validation in checklist)

Files

What ships with it

6 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.
