marklogic-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/semaphore-taxonomy/SKILL.md

semaphore-taxonomy is a skill for Claude Code from tternquist/marklogic-mcp. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,760 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating and publishing SKOS taxonomies in Semaphore, a MarkLogic system for organising concepts and classifying content. SKOS is a standard format for representing controlled vocabularies and concept relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create concept schemes, write or load SKOS Turtle vocabularies, fix missing preferred labels, publish models, and verify classification results.
Why use it?
It reduces setup mistakes when loading, validating, publishing, and checking a taxonomy, including configuration details that can make a publish appear successful while producing incomplete rules.

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is tternquist/marklogic-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on marklogic-mcp 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 marklogic-mcp 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

semaphore-taxonomy 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 222 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Semaphore Taxonomy Authoring

Build order (follow exactly — steps 5 and 6 are the ones people miss)

  1. Check connectivity — semaphore_status, semaphore_studio_status
  2. Create the model — semaphore_kmm_model_create(name=…, default_namespace=…) → model URI is model:<Name>
  3. Author the SKOS Turtle — start from templates/taxonomy-skeleton.ttl
  4. Load it — semaphore_kmm_skos_load with skos_content=<turtle>
  5. Validate structure — semaphore_taxonomy_validate
  6. ⚠ Add SKOS-XL reification — REQUIRED, immediately after loading
  7. Fix plain-SKOS publish config — semaphore_publish_config_fix_plain_skos
  8. Publish — semaphore_publish(wait_for_completion=true)
  9. Confirm active — semaphore_publish_sets shows the model (lowercased) as ACTIVE
  10. Verify — semaphore_classify(content=…, threshold=0) on representative text

⚠ The ConceptScheme URI convention

The ConceptScheme URI must be {namespace}{ModelId}Taxonomy. For a model named Example in namespace http://example.com/tax/, that is http://example.com/tax/ExampleTaxonomy.

Get this wrong and the publish appears to succeed but emits one rule — for the scheme root — instead of one per concept.

@prefix ns: <http://example.com/tax/> .
ns:ExampleTaxonomy a skos:ConceptScheme ;
    skos:prefLabel "Example Taxonomy"@en ;
    skos:hasTopConcept ns:TopConcept1 .

⚠ SKOS only — no OWL

KMM supports SKOS, not OWL. Loading an OWL ontology yields 0 concepts with no obvious error. Convert first:

OWL SKOS
owl:Class skos:Concept
rdfs:subClassOf skos:broader
owl:Ontology skos:ConceptScheme

sem:guid is generated automatically by KMM during semaphore_kmm_skos_load — no manual INSERT needed.

Verifying a load

semaphore_kmm_sparql(model_uri="model:<Name>",
  query="PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>
         SELECT (COUNT(?c) AS ?n)
         WHERE { GRAPH <urn:x-evn-master:<Name>> { ?c a skos:Concept } }")

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.
