coding-tools-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/mcp-probe-kit/SKILL.md

mcp-probe-kit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shelizi/coding-tools-mcp. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,727 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A routing guide for mcp-probe-kit, a set of tools that helps agents choose the right development action for a request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route requests to actions such as starting a feature or bug fix, inspecting code, reviewing changes, generating commit messages, or asking for clarification.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork about which tool to call first for features, bugs, design work, code review, project setup, or other tasks.

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.

This is shelizi/coding-tools-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on coding-tools-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 coding-tools-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

mcp-probe-kit 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 8d 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 调用时机 — mcp-probe-kit

本 Skill 只回答一件事:什么情况 → 调哪个 MCP。不是开发流程剧本。 由 mcp-probe-kit 自动安装;支持 MCP 的 Agent 客户端可从 .agents/skills/ 加载。

总规则

  1. 先查下表,有对应 MCP 就先调,再写代码 / 改文件
  2. 拿不准workflow{ "intent": "<用户原话>" }
  3. start_* 会列出后续该调的 MCP;按返回逐步调用即可

意图速查(第一个该调的 MCP)

用户说什么 / 什么情况 第一个 MCP
新功能、加模块、做需求 start_feature
Bug、报错、异常、排查、不生效 start_bugfix
页面、组件、样式、UI、交互 start_ui
不熟代码、架构、调用链、影响面 code_insight
新项目上手、熟悉仓库 start_onboard
产品方案、PRD、原型 start_product
长周期自主迭代(Ralph) start_ralph
缺 AGENTS.md / 项目上下文 init_project_context
全新空仓库脚手架 init_project
写 commit message gencommit
代码评审、安全检查 code_review
重构、整理代码 refactor(大改前先 code_insight)
估算工时、排期 estimate
校验规格是否写全 check_spec
查历史踩坑、可复用经验 search_memory
需求不清楚、要澄清 ask_user 或 interview
工作报告、周报、git 汇总 git_work_report
不确定用哪个 MCP workflow

全工具:何时调用

编排入口 start_*(复杂任务的第一步)

MCP 何时调用
start_feature 任何新功能 / 增强;会先搜记忆,再指引 add_featurecheck_spec → 实现
start_bugfix 任何 Bug / 报错;指引 fix_bug(真因)→ gentest → 测试
start_ui 任何 UI / 页面 / 组件;指引设计系统、模板检索、实现约束
start_onboard 新成员 / 新仓库快速建立心智模型
start_product 从 0 做产品方案(PRD、原型思路)
start_ralph 需要多轮自主迭代、长任务循环时

路由

MCP 何时调用
workflow 不确定该用哪个 MCP;或担心 Agent 跳过 MCP 直接写代码时

项目与规格

MCP 何时调用
init_project_context 没有 AGENTS.mddocs/project-context/、图谱索引;大改前缺上下文
init_project 空目录需要初始化项目结构
add_feature 需要生成 docs/specs/<feature>/ 规格(通常由 start_feature 触发)
check_spec 规格写完后、写实现代码前;或 Bug 修完要过规格闸门
estimate 需要故事点 / 工时 / 风险评估(通常在 add_feature 之后)

代码分析(可直接调,不必等 start_*)

MCP 何时调用
code_insight 读不懂代码、找入口、看调用链 / 影响面;大重构前;mode=impact 评估改动范围
fix_bug 需要 TBP 真因分析指南(通常由 start_bugfix 触发)
gentest 需要补测试 / 回归用例(Bug 修复后、功能完成后)
code_review 用户要审查指定文件或 diff(含安全项)
refactor 需要分步重构计划;范围大时先 code_insight

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.
