## Findings

- **info** The word "credentials" in `lint_skill` ([credentials-mention](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#credentials-mention))

```untrusted-server-text
The description mentions "credential".

description: "...dure steps, rules, degradation), secret/credential leakage, injection-style phrasing, and..."
```


## Changes things (2)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `lint_skill`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
- Findings: info credentials-mention

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Lint one SKILL.md file the way marketplaces and agents parse it. FREE.

Checks YAML frontmatter presence and required fields (name,
description), description quality, body structure (procedure steps,
rules, degradation), secret/credential leakage, injection-style
phrasing, and size budget. Typical input {"content": "<full SKILL.md
text>"} returns {"verdict": "pass" | "pass-with-warnings" | "fail",
"errors": ["..."], "warnings": ["..."], "stats": {"body_words": N,
"has_frontmatter": bool}}.

Use on the full text of one SKILL.md. Not for the surrounding archive
layout (packaging_check). Errors: on invalid, missing, or malformed input this tool never raises a protocol error — it returns {"error": "<what is wrong and how to fix it>"} (for example {"error": "content is empty — pass the full SKILL.md text including frontmatter"}). Every call is read-only and idempotent, so after correcting the input it is always safe to retry.
```

### `regex_test`

- Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
- The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Test a regular expression against sample strings. FREE.

Typical input {"pattern": "v(\\d+)", "samples": ["v12", "beta"]}
returns {"pattern": ..., "results": [{"sample": "v12", "match": true,
"matched_text": "v12", "groups": ["12"]}, {"sample": "beta", "match":
false, ...}], "match_count": 1}.

Use to confirm a pattern matches what you expect before shipping it. Not
for validating JSON (json_validate). The pattern is compiled and run in a
short-lived, CPU-capped child process, so a pattern that backtracks
catastrophically is stopped instead of stalling the server. Errors: on invalid, missing, or malformed input this tool never raises a protocol error — it returns {"error": "<what is wrong and how to fix it>"} (for example {"error": "a sample is too long (max 10000 characters); shorten it and retry"}). Every call is read-only and idempotent, so after correcting the input it is always safe to retry.
```

## Only reads (4)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `cron_explain`

- The name "cron_explain" says "explain": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Explain a 5-field cron expression in plain English and flag mistakes. FREE.

Typical input {"expression": "0 9 * * 1-5"} returns {"expression":
"0 9 * * 1-5", "meaning": "at minute 0; at hour 9; every day of month;
every month; day of week 1-5", "issues": ["none"]}; out-of-range fields
are listed in "issues".

Use to read a schedule back in plain English before trusting it. Assumes
5-field cron; not for 6-field or seconds-precision variants. Errors: on invalid, missing, or malformed input this tool never raises a protocol error — it returns {"error": "<what is wrong and how to fix it>"} (for example {"error": "expected 5 fields, got <value>"}). Every call is read-only and idempotent, so after correcting the input it is always safe to retry.
```

### `diff_texts`

- The name "diff_texts" says "diff": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Produce a unified diff between two texts. FREE.

Useful for comparing two SKILL.md versions. Typical input {"a": "<old
text>", "b": "<new text>"} returns {"changed_lines": N, "diff":
"--- \n+++ \n@@ ... @@\n-old line\n+new line"}; identical inputs
return {"changed_lines": 0, "diff": "(identical)"}. The diff is capped
at 400 lines.

Use to show exactly what changed between two versions of a text. Not for
judging the risk of a code change - the codereview server's review_diff
does that. Errors: on invalid, missing, or malformed input this tool never raises a protocol error — it returns {"error": "<what is wrong and how to fix it>"} (for example {"error": "each text must be at most 500000 characters"}). Every call is read-only and idempotent, so after correcting the input it is always safe to retry.
```

### `json_validate`

- The name "json_validate" says "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validate JSON text and summarize its structure. FREE.

Typical input {"text": "{\"a\": [1, 2]}"} returns {"valid": true,
"structure": {"a": ["array[2]", "int"]}}; invalid JSON returns
{"valid": false, "error": "<parser message>", "line": N, "column": N}
instead.

Use when JSON may be malformed or its shape is unknown. Reports structure,
not conformance to a schema. Not for testing a pattern (regex_test). Errors: on invalid, missing, or malformed input this tool never raises a protocol error — it returns {"error": "<what is wrong and how to fix it>"} (for example {"error": "text is empty — pass the JSON document as a raw string"}). Every call is read-only and idempotent, so after correcting the input it is always safe to retry.
```

### `packaging_check`

- The description's first verb is "validate": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Validate a zip layout plan for a skill marketplace before packaging. FREE.

Checks SKILL.md placement rules and flags junk files. Typical input
{"file_paths": ["my-skill/SKILL.md", "my-skill/examples.md"],
"marketplace": "agensi"} returns {"verdict": "pass" | "fail",
"issues": ["..."], "skill_files_found": ["my-skill/SKILL.md"]}.

Use on a planned file layout, before zipping. Not for the content of a
skill file (lint_skill). Errors: on invalid, missing, or malformed input this tool never raises a protocol error — it returns {"error": "<what is wrong and how to fix it>"} (for example {"error": "file_paths is empty — list every file that will be inside the zip"}). Every call is read-only and idempotent, so after correcting the input it is always safe to retry.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `skillmd-lint`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__skillmd-lint__packaging_check",
      "mcp__skillmd-lint__json_validate",
      "mcp__skillmd-lint__diff_texts",
      "mcp__skillmd-lint__cron_explain"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__skillmd-lint__lint_skill",
      "mcp__skillmd-lint__regex_test"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
