Whether this is a common enough task that a skill likely exists + +### Step 2: Check the Leaderboard First + +Before running a CLI search, check the [skills.sh leaderboard](https://skills.sh/) to see if a well-known skill already exists for the domain. The leaderboard ranks skills by total installs, surfacing the most popular and battle-tested options. + +For example, top skills for web development include: +- `vercel-labs/agent-skills` — React, Next.js, web design (100K+ installs each) +- `anthropics/skills` — Frontend design, document processing (100K+ installs) + +### Step 3: Search for Skills + +If the leaderboard doesn't cover the user's need, run the find command: + +```bash +npx skills find [query] +``` + +For example: + +- User asks "how do I make my React app faster?" → `npx skills find react performance` +- User asks "can you help me with PR reviews?" → `npx skills find pr review` +- User asks "I need to create a changelog" → `npx skills find changelog` + +### Step 4: Verify Quality Before Recommending + +**Do not recommend a skill based solely on search results.** Always verify: + +1. **Install count** — Prefer skills with 1K+ installs. Be cautious with anything under 100. +2. **Source reputation** — Official sources (`vercel-labs`, `anthropics`, `microsoft`) are more trustworthy than unknown authors. +3. **GitHub stars** — Check the source repository. A skill from a repo with <100 stars should be treated with skepticism. + +### Step 5: Present Options to the User + +When you find relevant skills, present them to the user with: + +1.

Use for product pages, docs, blogs, changelogs, competitor sites — any page where changes matter. Each check labels pages as `same`, `new`, `changed`, `removed`, or `error`, with webhook and email notification options. + +Subcommands: `create | list | get | update | delete | run | checks | check`. + +```bash +# create from flags +firecrawl monitor create --name "Blog" --schedule "every 30 minutes" \ + --scrape-urls https://example.com/blog --email alerts@example.com + +# or from JSON (positional file, or piped stdin) +firecrawl monitor create monitor.json +cat monitor.json | firecrawl monitor create + +firecrawl monitor list --limit 20 +firecrawl monitor run # trigger a check now +firecrawl monitor checks # list checks +firecrawl monitor check --page-status changed +firecrawl monitor update --state paused +firecrawl monitor delete +``` + +Schedules accept cron (`--cron "*/30 * * * *"`) or natural language (`--schedule "every 30 minutes"`). Minimum interval is 15 minutes. Targets are either `--scrape-urls a,b,c` (scrape) or `--crawl-url ` (crawl whole site each check). Note: `--state` (not `--status`) sets active/paused; `--page-status` (not `--status`) filters page results on `check` — avoids collision with the global `--status` flag. Monitoring is not available for zero-data-retention teams. + +**JSON-mode change tracking:** By default monitors diff each page's markdown and you get a unified text diff back. When you care about **specific structured fields** (price, headline, in-stock flag, items in a list) instead of the whole page, add a `changeTracking` format with `modes: ["json"]` and a JSON schema to the target's `scrapeOptions.formats`. The flag-based form doesn't cover this — pass a JSON body via file or stdin: + +```bash +cat > pricing-monitor.json <<'EOF' +{ + "name": "Pricing watch", + "schedule": { "text": "hourly", "timezone": "UTC" }, + "targets": [{ + "type": "scrape", + "urls": ["https://example.com/pricing"], + "scrapeOptions": { + "formats": [{ + "type": "changeTracking", + "modes": ["json"], + "prompt": "Extract pricing tiers and headline features for each plan.", + "schema": { + "type": "object", + "properties": { + "plans": { + "type": "array", + "items": { + "type": "object", + "properties": { + "name": { "type": "string" }, + "price": { "type": "string" }, + "features": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "string" } } + } + } + } + } + } + }] + } + }] +} +EOF +firecrawl monitor create pricing-monitor.json +``` + +The `check` response then carries a per-field diff (paths like `plans[0].price`) and the full extraction at this run, instead of (or in addition to) a markdown diff. Each changed page in `pages[]` looks like: + +```json +{ + "url": "https://example.com/pricing", + "status": "changed", + "diff": { + "json": { + "plans[0].price": { "previous": "$19/mo", "current": "$24/mo" }, + "plans[1].features[2]": { + "previous": "10 GB storage", + "current": "25 GB storage" + } + } + }, + "snapshot": { + "json": { + "plans": [ + /* current full extraction */ + ] + } + } +} +``` + +Use `modes: ["json", "git-diff"]` for **mixed mode**: you get both `diff.json` (per-field) and `diff.text` (markdown sidecar), and the page is marked `changed` whenever either surface changed. For markdown-only monitors, `diff.text` holds the unified diff and `diff.json` is a `parse-diff` AST (`{ files: [...] }`); there is no `snapshot`. + +**Avoid redundant fetches:** + +- `search --scrape` already fetches full page content.

Visit https://libraries.excalidraw.com/ + 2. Search for "[AWS Architecture Icons/etc.]" and download the .excalidrawlib file + 3. Create directory: skills/excalidraw-diagram-generator/libraries/[icon-set-name]/ + 4. Place the downloaded file in that directory + 5. Run the splitter script: + python skills/excalidraw-diagram-generator/scripts/split-excalidraw-library.py skills/excalidraw-diagram-generator/libraries/[icon-set-name]/ + + This will split the library into individual icon files for efficient use. + After setup is complete, I can create your diagram using the actual AWS/cloud icons. + + Alternatively, I can create the diagram now using simple shapes (rectangles, ellipses) + which you can later replace with icons manually in Excalidraw. + ``` + +### User Setup Instructions (Detailed) + +**Step 1: Create Library Directory** +```bash +mkdir -p skills/excalidraw-diagram-generator/libraries/aws-architecture-icons +``` + +**Step 2: Download Library** +- Visit: https://libraries.excalidraw.com/ +- Search for your desired icon set (e.g., "AWS Architecture Icons") +- Click download to get the `.excalidrawlib` file +- Example categories (availability varies; confirm on the site): + -

Formats: `-Fp` (plain SQL), `-Fc` (custom compressed, selective restore), `-Fd` (directory, parallel with `-j`), `-Ft` (tar, avoid). Use `-Fd -j 4` for large DBs. Restore: `pg_restore -d dbname file.dump`; add `-j` for parallel restore. Selective table restore: `pg_restore -t tablename`. Slow for large DBs; RPO = backup frequency (typically 24h). + +## Physical Backups (pg_basebackup) +Copies raw PGDATA; same major version and platform required; cross-architecture works if same endianness (e.g., x86_64 ↔ ARM64). Faster for large clusters; includes all databases. Flags: `-Ft -z -P` for compressed tar with progress. Manual alternative: `pg_backup_start()` → copy PGDATA → `pg_backup_stop()` (complex; must write returned `backup_label`). + +## PITR (Point-in-Time Recovery) +Requires base backup + continuous WAL archiving. Restores to any timestamp, transaction, or named restore point. Without PITR: restore only to backup time (potentially lose hours).

It should be present on every tenant/user-scoped table, included in every frequent query's WHERE clause, high cardinality, and evenly distributed.

For other tables, use a composite PK with the shard key leading so lookups stay shard-local.

Always include the shard key in join conditions. Use consistent column types for the shard key across co-located tables (e.g., don't mix `int` and `bigint` for the same logical key). + +```sql +-- correct: shard-local join +SELECT o.id, oi.product_id FROM orders o +JOIN order_items oi ON oi.tenant_id = o.tenant_id AND oi.order_id = o.id +WHERE o.tenant_id = $1; +``` + +## Reference Tables + +Small, rarely-changing lookup tables (countries, currencies, feature flags) don't need a shard key — they get replicated across shards. Characteristics: typically small (e.g., well under 100K rows), rarely written, no tenant scoping, broadly joined. + +## Query Patterns + +Every query on sharded tables must include the shard key. Without it, the query becomes a scatter-gather across all shards. + +```sql +-- correct: routed to single shard +SELECT * FROM orders WHERE tenant_id = $1 AND status = 'pending'; + +-- incorrect: hits all shards +SELECT * FROM orders WHERE status = 'pending'; +``` + +For lookups by a non-shard column, maintain a mapping table. Ensure mapping consistency with backfill/repair jobs and miss-rate monitoring. + +## Indexes + +Lead indexes with the shard key. Scope unique constraints to include it. + +```sql +-- correct +CREATE INDEX idx_orders_tenant_status ON orders (tenant_id, status, created_at); +ALTER TABLE orders ADD CONSTRAINT uq_order_number UNIQUE (tenant_id, order_number); + +-- incorrect: index or unique constraint without shard key +CREATE INDEX idx_orders_status ON orders (status, created_at); +ALTER TABLE orders ADD CONSTRAINT uq_order_number UNIQUE (order_number); +``` + +## Foreign Keys + +Cross-shard FKs are challenging to support in sharded systems. FKs within the same shard key (co-located data) may be supported depending on the sharding implementation. Cross-shard-key FKs must move to application-level enforcement before sharding.

Cross-shard transactions typically require 2PC or similar distributed coordination and are significantly slower. + +## Aggregations + +Global aggregations (`COUNT(*)`, `SUM()` across all shards) become expensive. Scope aggregations to the shard key, or maintain pre-computed rollup tables for global stats. + +## Denormalization + +Propagate the shard key onto every related table, even if it feels redundant.

Small, bounded payloads (known-size JSON, config files) are fine to buffer. + +Correct — stream through: +```ts +async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise { + const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/large-dataset"); + return new Response(response.body, response); +} +``` + +Correct — concatenate multiple streams: +```ts +async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise { + const urls = ["https://api.example.com/part-1", "https://api.example.com/part-2"]; + const { readable, writable } = new TransformStream(); + + // Track the pipeline promise — don't let it float + ctx.waitUntil((async () => { + for (const url of urls) { + const response = await fetch(url); + if (response.body) { + await response.body.pipeTo(writable, { preventClose: true }); + } + } + await writable.close(); + })()); + + return new Response(readable, { + headers: { "Content-Type": "application/octet-stream" }, + }); +} +``` + +Anti-pattern: +```ts +// Buffers entire body — crashes on large payloads +const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/large-dataset"); +const text = await response.text(); +return new Response(text); +``` + +**Retrieve**: streaming APIs at `/workers/runtime-apis/streams/`. + +### Use waitUntil for work after the response + +`ctx.waitUntil()` performs background work (analytics, cache writes, webhooks) after the response is sent. Keeps response fast. 30-second time limit after response. + +**Check**: background work uses `ctx.waitUntil()`, not inline `await`. Do not destructure `ctx` — it loses the `this` binding and throws "Illegal invocation". + +```ts +async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise { + const data = await processRequest(request); + + ctx.waitUntil(logToAnalytics(env, data)); + ctx.waitUntil(updateCache(env, data)); + + return Response.json(data); +} +``` + +Anti-pattern: +```ts +// Destructuring ctx loses the this binding +const { waitUntil } = ctx; // "Illegal invocation" at runtime +waitUntil(somePromise); +``` + +--- + +## Architecture + +### Use bindings for Cloudflare services, not REST APIs + +Bindings (KV, R2, D1, Queues, Workflows) are direct, in-process references — no network hop, no authentication, no extra latency. Using the Cloudflare REST API from a Worker wastes time and adds complexity. + +**Check**: no `fetch("https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/...")` calls for services available as bindings. + +```ts +// Binding — direct, zero-cost +const object = await env.MY_BUCKET.get("my-file"); +``` + +Anti-pattern: +```ts +// REST API from inside a Worker — unnecessary overhead +const response = await fetch( + "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/.../r2/buckets/.../objects/my-file", + { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${env.CF_API_TOKEN}` } } +); +``` + +### Use Queues and Workflows for async and background work + +Long-running, retriable, or non-urgent tasks should not block a request. + +- **Queues**: decouple producer from consumer. Fan-out, buffering/batching, simple single-step background jobs. At-least-once delivery. +- **Workflows**: multi-step durable execution. Each step's return value is persisted; only failed steps retry. Can run for hours/days/weeks. +- **Both together**: Queue buffers high-throughput entry, consumer creates Workflow instances for complex processing. + +**Check**: long-running work (email sends, webhooks, multi-step processes) is offloaded to Queues or Workflows, not done inline in the fetch handler. + +```ts +async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise { + const order = await request.json<{ id: string; type: string }>(); + + if (order.type === "simple") { + await env.ORDER_QUEUE.send({ orderId: order.id, action: "send-email" }); + } else { + await env.FULFILLMENT_WORKFLOW.create({ params: { orderId: order.id } }); + } + + return Response.json({ status: "accepted" }, { status: 202 }); +} +``` + +**Retrieve**: `/queues/` and `/workflows/` for current APIs. For Workflow-specific rules, see [Rules of Workflows](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/build/rules-of-workflows/). + +### Use service bindings for Worker-to-Worker communication + +Service bindings are zero-cost, bypass the public internet, and support type-safe RPC. Do not call another Worker via its public URL. + +**Check**: Worker-to-Worker calls use `env.SERVICE_NAME.method()` (RPC) or `env.SERVICE_NAME.fetch()`, not `fetch("https://my-other-worker.example.com/...")`. + +```ts +import { WorkerEntrypoint } from "cloudflare:workers"; + +export class AuthService extends WorkerEntrypoint { + async verifyToken(token: string): Promise<{ userId: string; valid: boolean }> { + return { userId: "user-123", valid: true }; + } +} + +// Caller Worker +const auth = await env.AUTH_SERVICE.verifyToken(token); +``` + +**Retrieve**: verify `WorkerEntrypoint` import path and signature against latest `@cloudflare/workers-types`. + +### Use Hyperdrive for external database connections + +Hyperdrive maintains a regional connection pool, eliminating per-request TCP + TLS + auth cost (often 300-500ms). Create a new `Client` per request — Hyperdrive manages the underlying pool. Requires `nodejs_compat`. + +**Check**: any `new Client()` or database connection that uses a direct connection string instead of `env.HYPERDRIVE.connectionString`. + +```jsonc +{ + "hyperdrive": [{ "binding": "HYPERDRIVE", "id": "" }] +} +``` + +```ts +import { Client } from "pg"; + +async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise { + const client = new Client({ connectionString: env.HYPERDRIVE.connectionString }); + await client.connect(); + const result = await client.query("SELECT id, name FROM users LIMIT 10"); + return Response.json(result.rows); +} +``` + +**Retrieve**: `/hyperdrive/` for current configuration and supported databases. + +--- + +## Observability + +### Enable Workers Logs and Traces + +Enable `observability` in wrangler config before deploying to production. Use `head_sampling_rate` to control volume and cost. Use structured JSON logging — `console.log(JSON.stringify({...}))` — so logs are searchable. Use `console.error` for errors (appears at error severity in the dashboard). + +**Check**: `observability.enabled` is `true` in config. Logging uses structured JSON, not string concatenation. + +```jsonc +{ + "observability": { + "enabled": true, + "logs": { "head_sampling_rate": 1 }, + "traces": { "enabled": true, "head_sampling_rate": 0.01 } + } +} +``` + +```ts +// Structured JSON — searchable and filterable +console.log(JSON.stringify({ message: "incoming request", method: request.method, path: url.pathname })); + +// Error severity +console.error(JSON.stringify({ message: "request failed", error: e instanceof Error ? e.message : String(e) })); +``` + +Anti-pattern: +```ts +// Unstructured string logs — hard to query +console.log("Got a request to " + url.pathname); +``` + +**Retrieve**: `/workers/observability/logs/workers-logs/` and `/workers/observability/traces/` for current config options. + +--- + +## Code Patterns + +### Do not store request-scoped state in global scope + +Workers reuse isolates across requests. Module-level mutable variables cause cross-request data leaks, stale state, and "Cannot perform I/O on behalf of a different request" errors. + +**Check**: no mutable `let`/`var` at module scope that gets assigned inside a handler. Pass state through function arguments. + +```ts +export default { + async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise { + const userId = request.headers.get("X-User-Id"); + const result = await handleRequest(userId, env); + return Response.json(result); + }, +} satisfies ExportedHandler; +``` + +Anti-pattern: +```ts +// Module-level mutable state — leaks between requests +let currentUser: string | null = null; + +export default { + async fetch(request: Request, env: Env): Promise { + currentUser = request.headers.get("X-User-Id"); // Visible to next request + // ... + }, +}; +``` + +### Always await or waitUntil Promises + +A Promise that is not `await`ed, `return`ed, or passed to `ctx.waitUntil()` is a floating promise. Causes: dropped results, swallowed errors, unfinished work. The runtime may terminate the isolate before it completes. + +**Check**: every `fetch()`, `env.*.put()`, `env.*.send()`, and any other async call is handled. Enable `no-floating-promises` lint rule. + +```bash +# ESLint +npx eslint --rule '{"@typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises": "error"}' src/ + +# oxlint +npx oxlint --deny typescript/no-floating-promises src/ +``` + +```ts +// Correct: await when you need the result +const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/process", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify(data) }); + +// Correct: waitUntil when you don't need the result before responding +ctx.waitUntil(fetch("https://api.example.com/webhook", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify(data) })); +``` + +Anti-pattern: +```ts +// Floating promise — result dropped, error swallowed +fetch("https://api.example.com/webhook", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify(data) }); +``` + +### Be aware of platform limits + +Workers have a 10ms CPU time limit (Bundled) or 30s (Standard/Unbound). Heavy synchronous work — tight loops, large JSON parsing, compute-intensive crypto — can hit the CPU limit and terminate the request. + +**Check**: compute-heavy operations that run synchronously. Consider breaking work into smaller chunks, offloading to Queues/Workflows, or using WebAssembly for CPU-intensive tasks. + +**Retrieve**: current limits at `/workers/platform/limits/`. + +--- + +## Security + +### Use Web Crypto for secure token generation + +Use `crypto.randomUUID()` for unique IDs and `crypto.getRandomValues()` for random bytes. `Math.random()` is not cryptographically secure. + +For comparing secrets (API keys, HMAC signatures), use `crypto.subtle.timingSafeEqual()`. Hash both values to a fixed size first — do not short-circuit on length mismatch (leaks length via timing). + +**Check**: no `Math.random()` for security-sensitive values. Secret comparisons use `timingSafeEqual` with fixed-size hashing. + +```ts +// Secure random UUID +const sessionId = crypto.randomUUID(); + +// Secure random bytes +const tokenBytes = new Uint8Array(32); +crypto.getRandomValues(tokenBytes); +const token = Array.from(tokenBytes).map((b) => b.toString(16).padStart(2, "0")).join(""); +``` + +```ts +// Constant-time comparison — hash first to avoid length leak +async function verifyToken(provided: string, expected: string): Promise { + const encoder = new TextEncoder(); + const [providedHash, expectedHash] = await Promise.all([ + crypto.subtle.digest("SHA-256", encoder.encode(provided)), + crypto.subtle.digest("SHA-256", encoder.encode(expected)), + ]); + return crypto.subtle.timingSafeEqual(providedHash, expectedHash); +} +``` + +Anti-pattern: +```ts +// Predictable — not cryptographically secure +const token = Math.random().toString(36).substring(2); + +// Timing side-channel — leaks information about the expected value +return provided === expected; +``` + +**Retrieve**: `/workers/runtime-apis/web-crypto/` for current API surface. + +### Explicit error handling over passThroughOnException + +`passThroughOnException()` is a fail-open mechanism that sends requests to the origin when the Worker throws. It hides bugs and makes debugging difficult. Use explicit try/catch with structured error responses. + +**Check**: no `ctx.passThroughOnException()` calls. Error handling uses try/catch with structured JSON error responses and `console.error`. + +```ts +async fetch(request: Request, env: Env, ctx: ExecutionContext): Promise { + try { + const result = await handleRequest(request, env); + return Response.json(result); + } catch (error) { + const message = error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error"; + console.error(JSON.stringify({ message: "unhandled error", error: message, path: new URL(request.url).pathname })); + return Response.json({ error: "Internal server error" }, { status: 500 }); + } +} +``` + +--- + +## Development & Testing + +### Test with @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers + +Runs tests inside the Workers runtime with real bindings. Catches issues that Node.js-based tests miss. + +**Known pitfall**: the Vitest pool auto-injects `nodejs_compat`, so tests pass even if your wrangler config is missing the flag. Always confirm your `wrangler.jsonc` includes `nodejs_compat` if your code depends on Node.js built-ins. + +**Check**: test setup uses `@cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers`. Tests cover nullable returns (e.g., KV `.get()` returning `null`). + +```ts +import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest"; +import { env } from "cloudflare:test"; + +describe("KV operations", () => { + it("should store and retrieve a value", async () => { + await env.MY_KV.put("key", "value"); + const result = await env.MY_KV.get("key"); + expect(result).toBe("value"); + }); + + it("should return null for missing keys", async () => { + const result = await env.MY_KV.get("nonexistent"); + expect(result).toBeNull(); + }); +}); +``` + +**Retrieve**: `/workers/testing/vitest-integration/` for current setup and configuration.

Skip for apps that only read env at startup into validated config objects. | Medium — many env reads are startup-only config, not runtime-tainted data. | +| `database` | Database query results | Second-order injection scenarios: stored XSS, data from shared databases where other writers are untrusted. | High — most apps trust their own database. Only enable when auditing for stored/second-order attacks. | +| `file` | File contents | File upload processors, log parsers, config file readers that accept user-provided files. | Medium — triggers on all file reads including trusted config files. | + +## Default Behavior + +With no `--threat-model` flag, CodeQL uses `remote` only (the `default` group).

Each invocation adds (or removes with `!` prefix) a threat model group. The `remote` group is always enabled by default — use `--threat-model '!default'` to disable it (rare). The `all` group enables everything, and `!` disables a specific model. + +Multiple models can be combined. Each additional model expands the set of sources CodeQL considers tainted, increasing coverage but potentially increasing false positives.

Workflow tools can be more convenient for specific tasks, while comprehensive coverage gives agents flexibility to compose operations. Performance varies by client—some clients benefit from code execution that combines basic tools, while others work better with higher-level workflows. When uncertain, prioritize comprehensive API coverage. + +**Tool Naming and Discoverability:** +Clear, descriptive tool names help agents find the right tools quickly. Use consistent prefixes (e.g., `github_create_issue`, `github_list_repos`) and action-oriented naming. + +**Context Management:** +Agents benefit from concise tool descriptions and the ability to filter/paginate results. Design tools that return focused, relevant data. Some clients support code execution which can help agents filter and process data efficiently. + +**Actionable Error Messages:** +Error messages should guide agents toward solutions with specific suggestions and next steps. + +#### 1.2 Study MCP Protocol Documentation + +**Navigate the MCP specification:** + +Start with the sitemap to find relevant pages: `https://modelcontextprotocol.io/sitemap.xml` + +Then fetch specific pages with `.md` suffix for markdown format (e.g., `https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft.md`). + +Key pages to review: +- Specification overview and architecture +- Transport mechanisms (streamable HTTP, stdio) +- Tool, resource, and prompt definitions + +#### 1.3 Study Framework Documentation + +**Recommended stack:** +- **Language**: TypeScript (high-quality SDK support and good compatibility in many execution environments e.g. MCPB.

Create challenging and complex questions + - Some may not be solvable with the available MCP server tools + - Questions may require specific output formats (datetime vs. epoch time, JSON vs. MARKDOWN) + - Questions may require dozens of tool calls to complete + +## Answer Guidelines + +### Verification + +1. **Answers must be VERIFIABLE via direct string comparison** + - If the answer can be re-written in many formats, clearly specify the output format in the QUESTION + - Examples: "Use YYYY/MM/DD.", "Respond True or False.", "Answer A, B, C, or D and nothing else." + - Answer should be a single VERIFIABLE value such as: + - User ID, user name, display name, first name, last name + - Channel ID, channel name + - Message ID, string + - URL, title + - Numerical quantity + - Timestamp, datetime + - Boolean (for True/False questions) + - Email address, phone number + - File ID, file name, file extension + - Multiple choice answer + - Answers must not require special formatting or complex, structured output + - Answer will be verified using DIRECT STRING COMPARISON + +### Readability + +2. **Answers should generally prefer HUMAN-READABLE formats** + - Examples: names, first name, last name, datetime, file name, message string, URL, yes/no, true/false, a/b/c/d + - Rather than opaque IDs (though IDs are acceptable) + - The VAST MAJORITY of answers should be human-readable + +### Stability + +3. **Answers must be STABLE/STATIONARY** + - Look at old content (e.g., conversations that have ended, projects that have launched, questions answered) + - Create QUESTIONS based on "closed" concepts that will always return the same answer + - Questions may ask to consider a fixed time window to insulate from non-stationary answers + - Rely on context UNLIKELY to change + - Example: if finding a paper name, be SPECIFIC enough so answer is not confused with papers published later + +4. **Answers must be CLEAR and UNAMBIGUOUS** + - Questions must be designed so there is a single, clear answer + - Answer can be derived from using the MCP server tools + +### Diversity + +5. **Answers must be DIVERSE** + - Answer should be a single VERIFIABLE value in diverse modalities and formats + - User concept: user ID, user name, display name, first name, last name, email address, phone number + - Channel concept: channel ID, channel name, channel topic + - Message concept: message ID, message string, timestamp, month, day, year + +6. **Answers must NOT be complex structures** + - Not a list of values + - Not a complex object + - Not a list of IDs or strings + - Not natural language text + - UNLESS the answer can be straightforwardly verified using DIRECT STRING COMPARISON + - And can be realistically reproduced + - It should be unlikely that an LLM would return the same list in any other order or format + +## Evaluation Process + +### Step 1: Documentation Inspection + +Read the documentation of the target API to understand: +- Available endpoints and functionality +- If ambiguity exists, fetch additional information from the web +- Parallelize this step AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE +- Ensure each subagent is ONLY examining documentation from the file system or on the web + +### Step 2: Tool Inspection + +List the tools available in the MCP server: +- Inspect the MCP server directly +- Understand input/output schemas, docstrings, and descriptions +- WITHOUT calling the tools themselves at this stage + +### Step 3: Developing Understanding + +Repeat steps 1 & 2 until you have a good understanding: +- Iterate multiple times +- Think about the kinds of tasks you want to create +- Refine your understanding +- At NO stage should you READ the code of the MCP server implementation itself +- Use your intuition and understanding to create reasonable, realistic, but VERY challenging tasks + +### Step 4: Read-Only Content Inspection + +After understanding the API and tools, USE the MCP server tools: +- Inspect content using READ-ONLY and NON-DESTRUCTIVE operations ONLY +- Goal: identify specific content (e.g., users, channels, messages, projects, tasks) for creating realistic questions +- Should NOT call any tools that modify state +- Will NOT read the code of the MCP server implementation itself +- Parallelize this step with individual sub-agents pursuing independent explorations +- Ensure each subagent is only performing READ-ONLY, NON-DESTRUCTIVE, and IDEMPOTENT operations +- BE CAREFUL: SOME TOOLS may return LOTS OF DATA which would cause you to run out of CONTEXT +- Make INCREMENTAL, SMALL, AND TARGETED tool calls for exploration +- In all tool call requests, use the `limit` parameter to limit results (<10) +- Use pagination + +### Step 5: Task Generation + +After inspecting the content, create 10 human-readable questions: +- An LLM should be able to answer these with the MCP server +- Follow all question and answer guidelines above + +## Output Format + +Each QA pair consists of a question and an answer. The output should be an XML file with this structure: + +```xml + + + Find the project created in Q2 2024 with the highest number of completed tasks.

+- **stdio**: Command-line tools, local integrations, subprocess execution +- **Streamable HTTP**: Web services, remote access, multiple clients + +--- + +## Code Best Practices + +### Code Composability and Reusability + +Your implementation MUST prioritize composability and code reuse: + +1. **Extract Common Functionality**: + - Create reusable helper functions for operations used across multiple tools + - Build shared API clients for HTTP requests instead of duplicating code + - Centralize error handling logic in utility functions + - Extract business logic into dedicated functions that can be composed + - Extract shared markdown or JSON field selection & formatting functionality + +2. **Avoid Duplication**: + - NEVER copy-paste similar code between tools + - If you find yourself writing similar logic twice, extract it into a function + - Common operations like pagination, filtering, field selection, and formatting should be shared + - Authentication/authorization logic should be centralized + +### Python-Specific Best Practices + +1. **Use Type Hints**: Always include type annotations for function parameters and return values +2. **Pydantic Models**: Define clear Pydantic models for all input validation +3. **Avoid Manual Validation**: Let Pydantic handle input validation with constraints +4. **Proper Imports**: Group imports (standard library, third-party, local) +5. **Error Handling**: Use specific exception types (httpx.HTTPStatusError, not generic Exception) +6. **Async Context Managers**: Use `async with` for resources that need cleanup +7. **Constants**: Define module-level constants in UPPER_CASE + +## Quality Checklist + +Before finalizing your Python MCP server implementation, ensure: + +### Strategic Design +- [ ] Tools enable complete workflows, not just API endpoint wrappers +- [ ] Tool names reflect natural task subdivisions +- [ ] Response formats optimize for agent context efficiency +- [ ]

You generate a summary report noting these issues. + +### Risk Criteria + +A dependency is considered high-risk if it features any of the following risk factors: + +* **Single maintainer or team of individuals** - The project is primarily or solely maintained by a single individual, or a small number of individuals. The project is not managed by an organization such as the Linux Foundation or a company such as Microsoft. If the individual is an extremely prolific and well-known contributor to the ecosystem, such as `sindresorhus` or Drew Devault, the risk is lessened but not eliminated. Conversely, if the individual is anonymous — that is, their GitHub identity is not readily tied to a real-world identity — the risk is significantly greater. **Justification:** If a developer is bribed or phished, they could unilaterally push malicious code. Consider the left-pad incident. +* **Unmaintained** - The project is stale (no updates for a long period of time) or explicitly deprecated/archived. The maintainer may have put a note in the README.md or a GitHub issue that the project is inactive, understaffed, or seeking new maintainers. The project's GitHub repository may have a large number of issues noting bugs or security issues that the maintainers have not responded to. Feature request issues do NOT count. **Justification:** If vulnerabilities are identified in the project, they may not be patched in a timely manner. +* **Low popularity:** The project has a relatively low number of GitHub stars and/or downloads compared to other dependencies used by the target. **Justification:** Fewer users means fewer eyes on the project. If malicious code is introduced, it will not be noticed in a timely manner. +* **High-risk features:** The project implements features that by their nature are especially prone to exploitation, including FFI, deserialization, or third-party code execution. **Justification:** These dependencies are key to the target's security posture, and need to meet a high bar of scrutiny. +* **Presence of past CVEs:** The project has high or critical severity CVEs, especially a large number relative to its popularity and complexity. **Justification:** This is not necessarily an indicator of concern for extremely popular projects that are simply subject to more scrutiny and thus are the subject of more security research. +* **Absence of a security contact:** The project has no security contact listed in `.github/SECURITY.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, `README.md`, etc., or separately on the project's website (if one exists). **Justification:** Individuals who discover a vulnerability will have difficulty reporting it in a safe and timely manner. + +## Prerequisites + +Ensure that the `gh` tool is available before continuing.

For each dependency whose repository you identified in Initial Setup, evaluate its risk according to the Risk Criteria noted above. + * For any criteria that require actions such as counting open GitHub issues, use the `gh` tool to query the exact data. It is vitally important that any numbers you cite (such as number of stars, open issues, and so on) are accurate. You may round numbers of issues and stars using ~ notation, e.g. "~4000 stars". +2. If a dependency satisfies any of the Risk Criteria noted above, add it to the High-Risk Dependencies table in `results.md`, clearly noting your reason for flagging it as high-risk. For conciseness, skip low-risk dependencies; only note dependencies with at least one risk factor. Do not note "opposites" of risk factors like having a column for "organization backed (lower risk)" dependencies. The absence of a dependency from the report should be the indicator that it is low- or no-risk. + +## Workflow (Post-Audit) +1. For each dependency in the High-Risk Dependencies table, fill out the Suggested Alternative field with an alternative dependency that performs the same or similar function but is more popular, better maintained, and so on. Prefer direct successors and drop-in replacements if available. Provide a short justification of your suggestion. +2.
