mise-configuration

mise-configuration is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,661 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A configuration workflow built around mise, a tool that manages development environments and project settings. It keeps environment variables in a mise.toml file while allowing scripts to use fallback values when mise is not active.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to centralise environment variables, create Python virtual environments, support configuration across a monorepo—a repository containing multiple related projects—and define backward-compatible settings.
Why use it?
It gives a project one place for configurable values instead of scattering them across scripts and setup notes. The fallback pattern helps the same code work with or without mise installed.

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 163
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

mise-configuration 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.

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 — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

mise Configuration as Single Source of Truth

Use mise [env] as centralized configuration with backward-compatible defaults.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Centralizing environment variables in mise.toml
  • Setting up Python venv auto-creation with mise
  • Implementing hub-spoke configuration for monorepos
  • Creating backward-compatible environment patterns

Core Principle

Define all configurable values in .mise.toml [env] section. Scripts read via environment variables with fallback defaults. Same code path works WITH or WITHOUT mise installed.

Key insight: mise auto-loads [env] values when shell has mise activate configured. Scripts using os.environ.get("VAR", "default") pattern work identically whether mise is present or not.

Quick Reference

Language Patterns

Language Pattern Notes
Python os.environ.get("VAR", "default") Returns string, cast if int
Bash ${VAR:-default} Standard POSIX expansion
JavaScript process.env.VAR || "default" Falsy check, watch for "0"
Go os.Getenv("VAR") with default Empty string if unset
Rust std::env::var("VAR").unwrap_or() Returns Result

Special Directives

Directive Purpose Example
_.file Load from .env files _.file = ".env"
_.path Extend PATH _.path = ["bin", "node_modules/.bin"]
_.source Execute bash scripts _.source = "./scripts/env.sh"
_.python.venv Auto-create Python venv _.python.venv = { path = ".venv", create = true }

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.

mise-configuration is a skill published in the GitHub repository terrylica/cc-skills (73 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 2,661 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
