mx: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/mx-api-classify-roundtrip-failures/SKILL.md

mx-api-classify-roundtrip-failures is a skill for Claude Code from webern/mx. It costs 132 tokens per session (1,620 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for turning measured differences in a MusicXML read-and-write test into a plain-language worklist. MusicXML is a file format for storing written music, and a round-trip test checks whether reading and writing a file preserves it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for classifying failures such as crashes, immediate mismatches, and dropped data, then grouping them by pattern and priority.
Why use it?
It shows what is actually going wrong and which fixes could help the most files, instead of relying on assumptions about intended support.

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

mx-api-classify-roundtrip-failures 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.

Explain the mx::api round-trip

mx::api is a deliberate subset of MusicXML, and the comparison is strict full-DOM, so most corpus files diverge somewhere. This skill turns the measured divergences into a plain-English answer to two questions: what is broken, and what should we fix next to land the most files into the round-trip corpus with the fewest software changes.

It is the read-out layer on top of the failure classifier (issue #211/#212): the classifier produces a machine-readable build/api/classified.json; this skill interprets it for a human.

What the classifier reports (and what it does not)

Classification is purely measured from each expected/actual pair. It does not consult data/api.features.xml or any record of what mx::api was believed to "support" — whether a drop is intended is a present-day human decision (#214), not something the tool asserts. So do not describe any drop as "by-design" on the classifier's authority; report what was dropped and let the human decide.

Each difference is a signature, and a file's distance to passing is its count of unique signatures:

signature meaning
drop:<tag> a tag in expected, missing from actual
add:<tag> a spurious tag only in actual (a bug)
value:<tag> a paired element whose text value differs
value:<tag>@<attr> a paired element whose attribute value differs
attr:<tag>@<attr> an attribute present on only one side
reorder:<parent> a parent with matching children in a different order

Per-file status is PASS / FAIL / CRASH. A FAIL with no reorder: signature is a candidate: the first-pass worklist targets these, since reorders are expected mx::api behavior to be absorbed in test normalization later (#214).

Procedure

Step 1 — produce the data

If build/api/roundtrip-dump/ is empty or stale (api/impl changed since it was written), run:

make api-roundtrip-dump

Then always run:

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.

mx-api-classify-roundtrip-failures is a skill published in the GitHub repository webern/mx (93 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 1,620 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
