anki-mcp: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/author-anki-note-types/SKILL.md

author-anki-note-types is a skill for Codex from yama662607/anki-mcp. It costs 40 tokens per session (340 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for designing and changing Anki note types through the Anki MCP server. Anki note types are templates that define the fields and layouts used by flashcards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating note types, making safe additive updates, testing changes before applying them, and checking that notes can be created and previewed.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of applying destructive schema changes or sending invalid note-type data.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

This is yama662607/anki-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on anki-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 anki-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

author-anki-note-types 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Author Anki Note Types

Quick rules

  • Pass profileId on every write tool.
  • Run upsert_note_type with dryRun=true before applying.
  • Treat note types as schema design work, not content authoring work.
  • A successful upsert_note_type(dryRun=false) is immediately usable by add_note.
  • If a change is destructive, create a new versioned model instead of mutating in place.

Pick the workflow

  • New note type:
    • list_note_types -> get_note_type_schema -> upsert_note_type(dryRun=true) -> upsert_note_type(dryRun=false)
  • Additive-safe update to an existing note type:
    • get_note_type_schema -> upsert_note_type(dryRun=true) -> upsert_note_type(dryRun=false)
  • Verify direct usability:
    • ensure_deck -> add_note -> open_note_preview

When to read references

  • Read references/operations.md when you need concrete payload examples.
  • If you are unsure whether a change is additive-safe, inspect the current schema before writing.

Failure handling

  • FORBIDDEN_OPERATION: the requested note type change is destructive for the current phase.
  • INVALID_ARGUMENT: fix field names, template references, or duplicate metadata.
  • NOT_FOUND: refresh the target note type or create a new model name.
Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
