structural-code-editing

structural-code-editing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yailPeralta/ast-mcp-server. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,222 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

A set of rules and tools for safely exploring and editing TypeScript or JavaScript code using the compiler. The compiler is the part of the development toolchain that understands the code's structure and types.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to navigate code, analyze the impact of a change, find references, review an edit preview, apply a governed change, and run the project's verification checks.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unreliable text searches and checks project status, diagnostics, completeness, and exact edit plans before changing code.

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

structural-code-editing 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 1mo 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.

Edición estructural con el servidor MCP ast

Activation Contract

Cargar este skill antes de navegar semánticamente, analizar impacto o referencias, consultar diagnostics o preparar una mutación TypeScript/JavaScript gobernada por el compilador.

No forzar un roundtrip AST para Markdown, configuración, comentarios ni una edición textual trivial en un archivo ya conocido. Si las tools ast_* no están disponibles, declarar el fallback y no presentar búsquedas textuales como evidencia compiler-backed.

Published v0.12.0 requires Node.js >=22.13.0 and retains immutable release evidence from exact Node.js 22.13.0 plus the governed Node.js 24 line.

Hard Rules

  • Verificar primero que las tools existen y que ast_get_project_status informa un proyecto usable.
  • Tratar como autoritativa solo evidencia compiler + exact + resolved + fresh.
  • Revisar siempre límites, completeness, unresolved y truncation antes de inferir ausencia.
  • Preparar mutaciones, revisar preview y diagnostics, y aplicar únicamente con el operation_id y plan_hash exactos.
  • Nunca reconstruir postimages desde un diff; después del apply, ejecutar el gate canónico del proyecto.
  • Conservar correlation_id en errores públicos sin exponer source, paths absolutos, argumentos, environment, cache, stacks ni credenciales.

Impacto y candidatos de test

ast_get_impact separa dos canales. coverage asigna a cada kind/direction/endpoint una de not_applicable, completed, unsupported o unfinished; truncation y work describen límites de recorrido. incomplete es true si falla cualquiera. proven_empty exige cero edges, cobertura aplicable completa y ningún límite agotado.

La selección default conserva los siete kinds. contains aplicable es unsupported, por lo que el default puede ser semánticamente incompleto sin truncamiento. Calls directas por identificador, new y tagged templates pueden ser exactas; property, element, dynamic, unresolved, multiple o external dispatch no generan edges adivinados y dejan esa dirección unfinished. No presentar esto como certificación de #219 o #220.

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.
