memoryClaw: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/mcp-tool-patterns/SKILL.md

mcp-tool-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from tostechbr/memoryClaw. It costs 45 tokens per session (999 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent skill that documents patterns for adding and changing MCP tools in Akashic Context. MCP is a standard way for an AI agent to call external tools through defined inputs and outputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying the MCP server, especially when adding tools, changing tool inputs, or registering handlers in the server code.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes in tool schemas, input validation, error handling, response formatting, and registration.

This is tostechbr/memoryClaw's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on memoryClaw 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 memoryClaw 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-tool-patterns 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 2mo 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 Tool Patterns — Akashic Context

Tool Registration Pattern

Tools are registered in setupToolHandlers() inside ListToolsRequestSchema handler. Each tool needs: name, description, inputSchema (JSON Schema).

{
  name: "memory_context",
  description: "Get or set working memory (context.json) for a user.",
  inputSchema: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {
      userId: {
        type: "string",
        description: "User identifier (default: 'default')",
      },
      action: {
        type: "string",
        enum: ["get", "set"],
        description: "Get or set working memory",
      },
      data: {
        type: "object",
        description: "Data to set (only for action='set')",
      },
    },
    required: ["action"],
  },
},

Handler Pattern (Zod validation)

All handlers use Zod for input validation:

private async handleMemoryContext(args: unknown) {
  const schema = z.object({
    userId: z.string().optional().default("default"),
    action: z.enum(["get", "set"]),
    data: z.record(z.unknown()).optional(),
  });

  const { userId, action, data } = schema.parse(args);

  // implementation...
}

Adding userId to Existing Tools

Before (hardcoded):

// In constructor
this.manager = new MemoryManager({
  dataDir,
  userId: "mcp-user",   // hardcoded
  workspaceDir: config.workspaceDir,
  // ...
});

After (per-call userId): The manager must be created per-call (or use a manager factory/cache). Pattern: create MemoryManager per userId on demand, cache by userId.

private managers = new Map<string, MemoryManager>();

private getManager(userId: string): MemoryManager {
  if (!this.managers.has(userId)) {
    const manager = new MemoryManager({
      dataDir: this.dataDir,
      userId,
      workspaceDir: this.workspaceDir,  // base dir, manager appends users/{userId}
      memory: this.memoryConfig,
    });
    if (this.embeddingConfig) {
      this.setupEmbeddingProviderForManager(manager, this.embeddingConfig);
    }
    this.managers.set(userId, manager);
  }
  return this.managers.get(userId)!;
}

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.

mcp-tool-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository tostechbr/memoryClaw (8 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 999 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
