    native-mcp

    Built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) client that connects to external MCP servers, discovers their tools, and registers them as native Gauss Agent tools. Supports stdio and HTTP transports with automatic reconnection, security filtering, and zero-config tool injection.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 51 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 4

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Never pass multiline Markdown through --body "...".

    line 10
  2. Very specific:

    Always write Markdown to a temp file and use --body-file:

    line 12
  3. Distinctive:

    Before creating issues in someone else's repo, check templates/contributing docs and keep the report concise.

    line 56
  4. Very specific:

    If gh issue create prompts for confirmation, review the preview carefully before accepting.

    line 63
  5. Very specific:

    Use the maintainer-reply skill before drafting or posting issue and PR replies.

    line 73
  6. Distinctive:

    When closing with a reply, mention the fix version when known and thank the reporter when appropriate to the conversation:

    line 77

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 51 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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

GitHub Issues Workflow

Markdown bodies: never inline multiline text

Never pass multiline Markdown through --body "...". Shell quoting can leak literal \n into GitHub.

Always write Markdown to a temp file and use --body-file:

cat > /tmp/body.md <<'EOF'
## Summary

- ...

## Tests

- `...`
EOF

gh pr create --body-file /tmp/body.md
# or
gh pr edit <number> --body-file /tmp/body.md
# or
gh issue create --body-file /tmp/body.md

Review handoff

For PR inspection, use the pr-review skill. This skill handles GitHub issue and PR mechanics such as reading templates, using --body-file for multiline Markdown, and checking existing comments before closing or posting.

View issue

gh issue view <number>

Create issue safely

For non-trivial bodies, always write the draft to a temp file first. Do not inline long Markdown with shell quoting.

cat > /tmp/issue.md <<'EOF'
### What happened?

...
EOF

gh issue create --repo OWNER/REPO --title "Short title" --body-file /tmp/issue.md

Before creating issues in someone else's repo, check templates/contributing docs and keep the report concise.

gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/contents/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE --jq '.[].name'
gh api repos/OWNER/REPO/contents/CONTRIBUTING.md --jq .content | base64 --decode

If gh issue create prompts for confirmation, review the preview carefully before accepting.

Link issues in commits, changelogs, releases

  • Commits: fix: description (#1) or fix: description (fixes #1) — auto-closes on merge to default branch
  • Changelog: ([#1](https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/1))
  • Release notes: fixes #1 — does NOT auto-close, must close manually

Public replies

Use the maintainer-reply skill before drafting or posting issue and PR replies. Read the conversation first; do not apply a generic thank-you or mention a fix version when it is unknown or irrelevant.

Close with comment

When closing with a reply, mention the fix version when known and thank the reporter when appropriate to the conversation:

gh issue close <number> --comment "Fixed in v1.2.3. Thanks for the report!"

Test fixes before closing

For npm packages, simulate fresh install:

npm pack --pack-destination /tmp/
cd /tmp && mkdir test && cd test
echo '{"name":"test"}' > package.json
bun add /tmp/package-name-1.0.0.tgz
./node_modules/.bin/command --help

Does it work?

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

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
