node-agent-portable-packager

node-agent-portable-packager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shelizi/coding-tools-mcp. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,009 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release workflow for packaging the Coding Tools MCP Node Agent as portable Windows x64 ZIP files. MCP is a way for AI assistants to use external tools; the two packages either include Node.js or require it on the computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build, verify, version, tag, and package the Node Agent in bundled-Node or system-Node editions.
Why use it?
It keeps application and packaging versions separate and checks that releases come from the intended code. It also verifies that each package follows its runtime and archive rules.

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

node-agent-portable-packager 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-release-versions.ps1), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Node Agent Portable Packager

Operate on the Coding Tools MCP repository that contains packages/node-agent.

Version model

Keep these sources independent:

  • Read the Node Agent application version from packages/node-agent/package.json#version.
  • Read the Portable wrapper version from packages/node-agent/portable-version.json#version.
  • Read this Skill version from VERSION beside this file.
  • Derive the release tag as node-agent-v<agent>-portable-v<portable>; this tag is release provenance, not a fourth independent version.

Never synchronize or bulk-bump them. Increment only the component whose behavior changed. Read references/packaging-rules.md before changing version, edition, or archive policy.

Editions

  • bundled-node: includes runtime/node.exe and runtime/NODE-LICENSE.txt; must not require system Node.js or a package manager after extraction.
  • system-node: excludes the runtime directory and Node.js license; requires Windows x64 Node.js 22 or later as node.exe on PATH; must not require a package manager after extraction.

Both editions contain the same compiled application and production dependencies and use the same default per-user data directory.

Workflow

  1. Inspect Git status and preserve unrelated changes and generated artifacts.
  2. Review the changes being released and choose independent version increments.
  3. Run the normal Node Agent verification before creating the release identity.
  4. Commit all release source and version changes. Require a clean worktree after the commit.
  5. Create an annotated node-agent-v<agent>-portable-v<portable> tag on that exact commit.
  6. Run scripts/check-release-versions.ps1 -RepositoryRoot <repo> from this Skill. Require the expected annotated tag to resolve to HEAD, a clean worktree, valid versions, and expected artifact names.
  7. Run pnpm run node-agent:portable from the repository root to build both editions from the tagged commit. Use the focused :bundled or :system commands only when explicitly requested.
  8. Inspect both ZIP names and manifests; require Agent version, Portable version, edition, release tag, and full Git commit in each artifact identity.
  9. Confirm common application contents are present in both editions. Confirm only bundled-node contains runtime/node.exe and the Node license.
  10. Extract both ZIPs to paths containing spaces. Start each with start-node-agent.bat --no-browser on isolated ports and data directories, then verify /health, /ui, and static UI assets.
  11. Stop both smoke-test processes cleanly, validate every checksum entry, and compute both archive SHA-256 values.
  12. Deliver both Portable ZIPs separately from the Skill ZIP.

What ships with it

4 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.
