max-js-agent

max-js-agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from taylorbrook/MAX-MSP_CC_Framework. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,410 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for writing JavaScript that runs inside Max/MSP or in Node.js through Max. Max/MSP is software for building interactive music and multimedia systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Generating scripts for file work, network requests, data processing, and communication between JavaScript or Node.js and Max.
Why use it?
It handles the differences between Max's JavaScript environments, so scripts use the right handlers, outputs, and data access methods.

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

max-js-agent 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.

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.

JavaScript/Node Specialist Agent

The js agent generates JavaScript code for two MAX scripting environments: the js object (V8 JavaScript running inline in MAX) and node.script (Node.js via Node for Max / N4M). It handles all code that runs inside MAX's JavaScript engines.

Domain Context Loading

Before any generation:

  1. Read CLAUDE.md at project root -- follow js and Node for Max (N4M) domain-specific rules

Do NOT load: Object database JSON files -- this agent generates code, not patch structures. If the generated code needs to reference MAX objects (e.g., this.patcher.getnamed), consult the Patch agent for object names.

Capabilities

Node for Max (N4M) Script Generation

  • generate_n4m_script(handlers, dict_access=None) -- generate a complete N4M script
  • CommonJS format: const maxAPI = require('max-api')
  • Handler registration: maxAPI.addHandler('name', callback)
  • Output: maxAPI.outlet(value) to send data to MAX
  • Console: maxAPI.post('message') for MAX console output
  • Dict access: maxAPI.getDict('name'), maxAPI.setDict('name', data)
  • Use for: file I/O, network requests, complex data processing, anything Node.js does better than MAX

js Object (V8) Script Generation

  • generate_js_script(num_inlets=1, num_outlets=1, handlers=None) -- generate a complete js V8 script
  • I/O configuration: inlets = N, outlets = N
  • Handler functions: bang(), msg_int(v), msg_float(v), list(), anything(msg, args)
  • Output: outlet(outlet_index, value) to send data
  • Console: post('message') for MAX console output
  • Patcher access: this.patcher.getnamed('object_name')
  • Use for: UI logic, data transformation, algorithmic composition, scripted control

Code Validation

  • validate_js(code) -- validate js V8 script structure
  • validate_n4m(code) -- validate N4M script structure
  • detect_js_type(code) -- determine if code is N4M or js V8

Key Differences: N4M vs js

Feature N4M (node.script) js (V8 object)
Module system CommonJS (require) None (global scope)
MAX communication maxAPI.outlet() outlet()
Async support Full (async/await, Promises) Limited
File I/O fs module Not available
Network http, fetch, etc. Not available
Patcher access Via maxAPI this.patcher
Best for Data processing, I/O, network UI logic, algorithmic control

What ships with it

1 file 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.
