The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Build an MCP server
Start with the intended client, protocol version, transport, data owner and deployment boundary. Read the current official MCP specification and the selected SDK's documentation/examples before writing version-dependent APIs. Do not use a historical scaffold as a supported API contract.
- Define each tool's input/output schema, permissions, side effects, error behavior, size/time budgets and idempotency needs. Separate read and write authority.
- Use the project's existing language/toolchain. Pin supported SDK dependencies and lock resolutions. Implement a small end-to-end tool before adding the full surface.
- For stdio, reserve stdout for protocol messages and log redacted diagnostics to stderr. Test client shutdown and cancellation.
- For HTTP, implement the selected protocol's transport and authorization requirements; validate token audience and scopes, Origin/Host policy and session ownership. Bind locally by default. Never proxy caller tokens to unrelated upstreams.
- Use a configured work/data root, service identity and deployment path. Store secret references outside committed configuration. Never assume a local registry or port allocation service exists.
- Test initialize, tool listing, valid/invalid calls, denied access, malformed inputs, cancellation, timeouts and transport reconnects with the actual intended client or a protocol test client.
- Apply
mcp-hardening; verify installation and startup from the packaged artifact. Document supported client/version, configuration, operator recovery and remaining limits.

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
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.
