gitlab-discovery

gitlab-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from structured-world/gitlab-mcp. It costs 47 tokens per session (361 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A GitLab project and namespace finder. GitLab namespaces are account or group areas that contain projects, and a project is the repository and its related work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find a project or group, confirm its exact path or ID, and establish the target for repository, merge request, work-item, or CI tasks.
Why use it?
It prevents follow-up actions from targeting the wrong repository, account, or group. It also handles ambiguous names by asking for clarification instead of guessing.

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

gitlab-discovery 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Find the GitLab target

Use tools from the selected GitLab connection. Read manage_context with {"action":"show"} when the account/namespace is unclear. Existing namespace restrictions remain authoritative; do not switch accounts or broaden scope to get around a missing result.

  1. Find a named project with browse_projects, for example {"action":"search","q":"backend","per_page":20,"page":1}. For projects in a known group use {"action":"list","group_id":"example-group","per_page":20,"page":1}. browse_namespaces provides namespace discovery when the target is a group.
  2. Select the exact returned path_with_namespace or project ID. If several results fit and conversation context cannot resolve them, ask for the target; do not guess from the first result.
  3. Inspect the selected project with {"action":"get","project_id":"example-group/backend"}. Explain the returned identity and accessible repository details, then use that same project for follow-ups.
  4. Retrieve additional pages only as needed to satisfy the request. For an empty result, report that nothing matched within this account/scope. On a tool error, diagnose access instead of claiming the project does not exist.

For subsequent MR review, work items or CI investigation, reuse the verified project identity and load the corresponding installed skill using its host-provided path. Do not assume a repository checkout or an absolute skill installation directory. This discovery workflow performs no GitLab mutations.

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.
