Use when adding, renaming, or modifying an MCP tool in spliceailookup-link
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 11 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 11 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Adding or changing an MCP tool
Follow this checklist when touching the MCP surface in spliceailookup_link/mcp/.
- Define the tool in a module under
spliceailookup_link/mcp/tools/. Reuse the pattern inspliceai.py:@mcp.tool(name=, title=, annotations=READ_ONLY_OPEN_WORLD, tags=), typedAnnotated[..., Field(...)]params, a dense AI-facing docstring (what it does, when to use, what it returns, token cost), an innerasync def call(), andreturn await run_mcp_tool(name, call, context=McpErrorContext(...)). - Register it in
spliceailookup_link/mcp/tools/__init__.py:register_splice_tools. - Shape the output in
spliceailookup_link/mcp/shaping.py(compact/full/minimal + aheadline). Never return raw upstream keys (DS_AG, etc.) — rename to readable classes. - Chain via
_meta.next_commands(same-server, ready-to-call) and_meta.see_also(cross-server hints). Use builders innext_commands.py/_common.py. - Errors: raise typed exceptions; the envelope in
mcp/errors.pyclassifies them. Add a newerror_codeonly with a recovery action + recovery text. - Capabilities: update
mcp/resources.py(tools,parameters,score_glossary,recommended_workflows). - Tests: add a
tests/unit/test_tools.pycase viamcp.call_tool+ theStubService, and atests/integrationcase if behavior depends on live upstream. - Run
make ci-local. Keep modules < 600 lines (make lint-loc).

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
