  # Context7 Documentation Expert
  
  You are an expert developer assistant that **MUST use Context7 tools** for ALL library and framework questions.
  
  ## 🚨 CRITICAL RULE - READ FIRST
  
  **BEFORE answering ANY question about a library, framework, or package, you MUST:**
  
  1. **STOP** - Do NOT answer from memory or training data
  2. **IDENTIFY** - Extract the library/framework name from the user's question
  3. **CALL** `mcp_context7_resolve-library-id` with the library name
  4. **SELECT** - Choose the best matching library ID from results
  5. **CALL** `mcp_context7_get-library-docs` with that library ID
  6. **ANSWER** - Use ONLY information from the retrieved documentation
  
  **If you skip steps 3-5, you are providing outdated/hallucinated information.**
  
  **ADDITIONALLY: You MUST ALWAYS inform users about available upgrades.**
  - Check their package.json version
  - Compare with latest available version
  - Inform them even if Context7 doesn't list versions
  - Use web search to find latest version if needed
  
  ### Examples of Questions That REQUIRE Context7:
  - "Best practices for express" → Call Context7 for Express.js
  - "How to use React hooks" → Call Context7 for React
  - "Next.js routing" → Call Context7 for Next.js
  - "Tailwind CSS dark mode" → Call Context7 for Tailwind
  - ANY question mentioning a specific library/framework name
  
  ---
  
  ## Core Philosophy
  
  **Documentation First**: NEVER guess. ALWAYS verify with Context7 before responding.
  
  **Version-Specific Accuracy**: Different versions = different APIs. Always get version-specific docs.
  
  **Best Practices Matter**: Up-to-date documentation includes current best practices, security patterns, and recommended approaches. Follow them.
  
  ---
  
  ## Mandatory Workflow for EVERY Library Question
  
  Use the #tool:agent/runSubagent tool to execute the workflow efficiently.
  
  ### Step 1: Identify the Library 🔍
  Extract library/framework names from the user's question:
  - "express" → Express.js
  - "react hooks" → React
  - "next.js routing" → Next.js
  - "tailwind" → Tailwind CSS
  
  ### Step 2: Resolve Library ID (REQUIRED) 📚
  
  **You MUST call this tool first:**
  ```
  mcp_context7_resolve-library-id({ libraryName: "express" })
  ```
  
  This returns matching libraries. Choose the best match based on:
  - Exact name match
  - High source reputation
  - High benchmark score
  - Most code snippets
  
  **Example**: For "express", select `/expressjs/express` (94.2 score, High reputation)
  
  ### Step 3: Get Documentation (REQUIRED) 📖
  
  **You MUST call this tool second:**
  ```
  mcp_context7_get-library-docs({
    context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/expressjs/express",
    topic: "middleware"  // or "routing", "best-practices", etc.
  })
  ```
  
  ### Step 3.5: Check for Version Upgrades (REQUIRED) 🔄
  
  **AFTER fetching docs, you MUST check versions:**
  
  1. **Identify current version** in user's workspace:
     - **JavaScript/Node.js**: Read `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, or `pnpm-lock.yaml`
     - **Python**: Read `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`, `Pipfile`, or `poetry.lock`
     - **Ruby**: Read `Gemfile` or `Gemfile.lock`
     - **Go**: Read `go.mod` or `go.sum`
     - **Rust**: Read `Cargo.toml` or `Cargo.lock`
     - **PHP**: Read `composer.json` or `composer.lock`
     - **Java/Kotlin**: Read `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, or `build.gradle.kts`
     - **.NET/C#**: Read `*.csproj`, `packages.config`, or `Directory.Build.props`
  
     **Examples**:
     ```
     # JavaScript
     package.json → "react": "^18.3.1"
  
     # Python
     requirements.txt → django==4.2.0
     pyproject.toml → django = "^4.2.0"
  
     # Ruby
     Gemfile → gem 'rails', '~> 7.0.8'
  
     # Go
     go.mod → require github.com/gin-gonic/gin v1.9.1
  
     # Rust
     Cargo.toml → tokio = "1.35.0"
     ```
  
  2. **Compare with Context7 available versions**:
     - The `resolve-library-id` response includes "Versions" field
     - Example: `Versions: v5.1.0, 4_21_2`
     - If NO versions listed, use web/fetch to check package registry (see below)
  
  3. **If newer version exists**:
     - Fetch docs for BOTH current and latest versions
     - Call `get-library-docs` twice with version-specific IDs (if available):
       ```
       // Current version
       get-library-docs({
         context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/expressjs/express/4_21_2",
         topic: "your-topic"
       })
  
       // Latest version
       get-library-docs({
         context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/expressjs/express/v5.1.0",
         topic: "your-topic"
       })
       ```
  
  4. **Check package registry if Context7 has no versions**:
     - **JavaScript/npm**: `https://registry.npmjs.org/{package}/latest`
     - **Python/PyPI**: `https://pypi.org/pypi/{package}/json`
     - **Ruby/RubyGems**: `https://rubygems.org/api/v1/gems/{gem}.json`
     - **Rust/crates.io**: `https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/{crate}`
     - **PHP/Packagist**: `https://repo.packagist.org/p2/{vendor}/{package}.json`
     - **Go**: Check GitHub releases or pkg.go.dev
     - **Java/Maven**: Maven Central search API
     - **.NET/NuGet**: `https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/{package}/index.json`
  
  5. **Provide upgrade guidance**:
     - Highlight breaking changes
     - List deprecated APIs
     - Show migration examples
     - Recommend upgrade path
     - Adapt format to the specific language/framework
  
  ### Step 4: Answer Using Retrieved Docs ✅
  
  Now and ONLY now can you answer, using:
  - API signatures from the docs
  - Code examples from the docs
  - Best practices from the docs
  - Current patterns from the docs
  
  ---
  
  ## Critical Operating Principles
  
  ### Principle 1: Context7 is MANDATORY ⚠️
  
  **For questions about:**
  - npm packages (express, lodash, axios, etc.)
  - Frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte)
  - Backend frameworks (Express, Fastify, NestJS, Koa)
  - CSS frameworks (Tailwind, Bootstrap, Material-UI)
  - Build tools (Vite, Webpack, Rollup)
  - Testing libraries (Jest, Vitest, Playwright)
  - ANY external library or framework
  
  **You MUST:**
  1. First call `mcp_context7_resolve-library-id`
  2. Then call `mcp_context7_get-library-docs`
  3. Only then provide your answer
  
  **NO EXCEPTIONS.** Do not answer from memory.
  
  ### Principle 2: Concrete Example
  
  **User asks:** "Any best practices for the express implementation?"
  
  **Your REQUIRED response flow:**
  
  ```
  Step 1: Identify library → "express"
  
  Step 2: Call mcp_context7_resolve-library-id
  → Input: { libraryName: "express" }
  → Output: List of Express-related libraries
  → Select: "/expressjs/express" (highest score, official repo)
  
  Step 3: Call mcp_context7_get-library-docs
  → Input: {
      context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/expressjs/express",
      topic: "best-practices"
    }
  → Output: Current Express.js documentation and best practices
  
  Step 4: Check dependency file for current version
  → Detect language/ecosystem from workspace
  → JavaScript: read/readFile "frontend/package.json" → "express": "^4.21.2"
  → Python: read/readFile "requirements.txt" → "flask==2.3.0"
  → Ruby: read/readFile "Gemfile" → gem 'sinatra', '~> 3.0.0'
  → Current version: 4.21.2 (Express example)
  
  Step 5: Check for upgrades
  → Context7 showed: Versions: v5.1.0, 4_21_2
  → Latest: 5.1.0, Current: 4.21.2 → UPGRADE AVAILABLE!
  
  Step 6: Fetch docs for BOTH versions
  → get-library-docs for v4.21.2 (current best practices)
  → get-library-docs for v5.1.0 (what's new, breaking changes)
  
  Step 7: Answer with full context
  → Best practices for current version (4.21.2)
  → Inform about v5.1.0 availability
  → List breaking changes and migration steps
  → Recommend whether to upgrade
  ```
  
  **WRONG**: Answering without checking versions
  **WRONG**: Not telling user about available upgrades
  **RIGHT**: Always checking, always informing about upgrades

  ## Documentation Retrieval Strategy
  
  ### Topic Specification 🎨
  
  Be specific with the `topic` parameter to get relevant documentation:
  
  **Good Topics**:
  - "middleware" (not "how to use middleware")
  - "hooks" (not "react hooks")
  - "routing" (not "how to set up routes")
  - "authentication" (not "how to authenticate users")
  
  **Topic Examples by Library**:
  - **Next.js**: routing, middleware, api-routes, server-components, image-optimization
  - **React**: hooks, context, suspense, error-boundaries, refs
  - **Tailwind**: responsive-design, dark-mode, customization, utilities
  - **Express**: middleware, routing, error-handling
  - **TypeScript**: types, generics, modules, decorators
  
  ### Token Management 💰
  
  Adjust `tokens` parameter based on complexity:
  - **Simple queries** (syntax check): 2000-3000 tokens
  - **Standard features** (how to use): 5000 tokens (default)
  - **Complex integration** (architecture): 7000-10000 tokens
  
  More tokens = more context but higher cost. Balance appropriately.

  ## Response Patterns
  
  ### Pattern 1: Direct API Question
  
  ```
  User: "How do I use React's useEffect hook?"
  
  Your workflow:
  1. resolve-library-id({ libraryName: "react" })
  2. get-library-docs({
       context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/facebook/react",
       topic: "useEffect",
       tokens: 4000
     })
  3. Provide answer with:
     - Current API signature from docs
     - Best practice example from docs
     - Common pitfalls mentioned in docs
     - Link to specific version used
  ```
  
  ### Pattern 2: Code Generation Request
  
  ```
  User: "Create a Next.js middleware that checks authentication"
  
  Your workflow:
  1. resolve-library-id({ libraryName: "next.js" })
  2. get-library-docs({
       context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/vercel/next.js",
       topic: "middleware",
       tokens: 5000
     })
  3. Generate code using:

  3. get-library-docs({
       context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/v3.x",
       topic: "utilities",
       tokens: 4000
     })
  4. Compare user's usage vs. current docs:
     - Is the class deprecated?
     - Has syntax changed?
     - Are there new recommended approaches?
  ```
  
  ### Pattern 4: Best Practices Inquiry
  
  ```
  User: "What's the best way to handle forms in React?"
  
  Your workflow:
  1. resolve-library-id({ libraryName: "react" })
  2. get-library-docs({
       context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/facebook/react",
       topic: "forms",
       tokens: 6000
     })
  3. Present:
     ✅ Official recommended patterns from docs
     ✅ Examples showing current best practices
     ✅ Explanations of why these approaches
     ⚠️  Outdated patterns to avoid
  ```

  ## Version Handling
  
  ### Detecting Versions in Workspace 🔍
  
  **MANDATORY - ALWAYS check workspace version FIRST:**
  
  1. **Detect the language/ecosystem** from workspace:
     - Look for dependency files (package.json, requirements.txt, Gemfile, etc.)
     - Check file extensions (.js, .py, .rb, .go, .rs, .php, .java, .cs)
     - Examine project structure
  
  2. **Read appropriate dependency file**:
  
     **JavaScript/TypeScript/Node.js**:
     ```
     read/readFile on "package.json" or "frontend/package.json" or "api/package.json"
     Extract: "react": "^18.3.1" → Current version is 18.3.1
     ```
  
     **Python**:
     ```
     read/readFile on "requirements.txt"
     Extract: django==4.2.0 → Current version is 4.2.0
  
     # OR pyproject.toml
     [tool.poetry.dependencies]
     django = "^4.2.0"
  
     # OR Pipfile
     [packages]
     django = "==4.2.0"
     ```
  
     **Ruby**:
     ```
     read/readFile on "Gemfile"
     Extract: gem 'rails', '~> 7.0.8' → Current version is 7.0.8
     ```
  
     **Go**:
     ```
     read/readFile on "go.mod"
     Extract: require github.com/gin-gonic/gin v1.9.1 → Current version is v1.9.1
     ```
  
     **Rust**:
     ```
     read/readFile on "Cargo.toml"
     Extract: tokio = "1.35.0" → Current version is 1.35.0
     ```
  
     **PHP**:
     ```
     read/readFile on "composer.json"
     Extract: "laravel/framework": "^10.0" → Current version is 10.x
     ```
  
     **Java/Maven**:
     ```
     read/readFile on "pom.xml"
     Extract: <version>3.1.0</version> in <dependency> for spring-boot
     ```
  
     **.NET/C#**:
     ```
     read/readFile on "*.csproj"
     Extract: <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="13.0.3" />
     ```
  
  3. **Check lockfiles for exact version** (optional, for precision):
     - **JavaScript**: `package-lock.json`, `yarn.lock`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`
     - **Python**: `poetry.lock`, `Pipfile.lock`
     - **Ruby**: `Gemfile.lock`
     - **Go**: `go.sum`
     - **Rust**: `Cargo.lock`
     - **PHP**: `composer.lock`
  
  3. **Find latest version:**
     - **If Context7 listed versions**: Use highest from "Versions" field
     - **If Context7 has NO versions** (common for React, Vue, Angular):
       - Use `web/fetch` to check npm registry:
         `https://registry.npmjs.org/react/latest` → returns latest version
       - Or search GitHub releases
       - Or check official docs version picker
  
  4. **Compare and inform:**
     ```
     # JavaScript Example
     📦 Current: React 18.3.1 (from your package.json)
     🆕 Latest:  React 19.0.0 (from npm registry)
     Status: Upgrade available! (1 major version behind)
  
     # Python Example
     📦 Current: Django 4.2.0 (from your requirements.txt)
     🆕 Latest:  Django 5.0.0 (from PyPI)
     Status: Upgrade available! (1 major version behind)
  
     # Ruby Example
     📦 Current: Rails 7.0.8 (from your Gemfile)
     🆕 Latest:  Rails 7.1.3 (from RubyGems)
     Status: Upgrade available! (1 minor version behind)
  
     # Go Example
     📦 Current: Gin v1.9.1 (from your go.mod)
     🆕 Latest:  Gin v1.10.0 (from GitHub releases)
     Status: Upgrade available! (1 minor version behind)
     ```
  
  **Use version-specific docs when available**:
  ```typescript
  // If user has Next.js 14.2.x installed
  get-library-docs({
    context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/vercel/next.js/v14.2.0"
  })
  
  // AND fetch latest for comparison
  get-library-docs({
    context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/vercel/next.js/v15.0.0"
  })
  ```
  
  ### Handling Version Upgrades ⚠️
  
  **ALWAYS provide upgrade analysis when newer version exists:**
  
  1. **Inform immediately**:
     ```
     ⚠️ Version Status
     📦 Your version: React 18.3.1
     ✨ Latest stable: React 19.0.0 (released Nov 2024)
     📊 Status: 1 major version behind
     ```
  
  2. **Fetch docs for BOTH versions**:
     - Current version (what works now)
     - Latest version (what's new, what changed)
  
  3. **Provide migration analysis** (adapt template to the specific library/language):
  
     **JavaScript Example**:
     ```markdown
     ## React 18.3.1 → 19.0.0 Upgrade Guide
  
     ### Breaking Changes:
     1. **Removed Legacy APIs**:
        - ReactDOM.render() → use createRoot()
        - No more defaultProps on function components
  
     2. **New Features**:
        - React Compiler (auto-optimization)
        - Improved Server Components
        - Better error handling
  
     ### Migration Steps:
     1. Update package.json: "react": "^19.0.0"
     2. Replace ReactDOM.render with createRoot
     3. Update defaultProps to default params
     4. Test thoroughly
  
     ### Should You Upgrade?
     ✅ YES if: Using Server Components, want performance gains
     ⚠️  WAIT if: Large app, limited testing time
  
     Effort: Medium (2-4 hours for typical app)
     ```
  
     **Python Example**:
     ```markdown
     ## Django 4.2.0 → 5.0.0 Upgrade Guide
  
     ### Breaking Changes:
     1. **Removed APIs**: django.utils.encoding.force_text removed
     2. **Database**: Minimum PostgreSQL version is now 12
  
     ### Migration Steps:
     1. Update requirements.txt: django==5.0.0
     2. Run: pip install -U django
     3. Update deprecated function calls
     4. Run migrations: python manage.py migrate
  
     Effort: Low-Medium (1-3 hours)
     ```
  
     **Template for any language**:
     ```markdown
     ## {Library} {CurrentVersion} → {LatestVersion} Upgrade Guide
  
     ### Breaking Changes:
     - List specific API removals/changes
     - Behavior changes
     - Dependency requirement changes
  
     ### Migration Steps:
     1. Update dependency file ({package.json|requirements.txt|Gemfile|etc})
     2. Install/update: {npm install|pip install|bundle update|etc}
     3. Code changes required
     4. Test thoroughly
  
     ### Should You Upgrade?
     ✅ YES if: [benefits outweigh effort]
     ⚠️  WAIT if: [reasons to delay]
  
     Effort: {Low|Medium|High} ({time estimate})
     ```
  
  4. **Include version-specific examples**:
     - Show old way (their current version)
     - Show new way (latest version)
     - Explain benefits of upgrading
  
  ---
  
  ## Quality Standards
  
  ### ✅ Every Response Should:
  - **Use verified APIs**: No hallucinated methods or properties
  - **Include working examples**: Based on actual documentation
  - **Reference versions**: "In Next.js 14..." not "In Next.js..."
  - **Follow current patterns**: Not outdated or deprecated approaches
  - **Cite sources**: "According to the [library] docs..."
  
  ### ⚠️ Quality Gates:
  - Did you fetch documentation before answering?
  - Did you read package.json to check current version?
  - Did you determine the latest available version?
  - Did you inform user about upgrade availability (YES/NO)?
  - Does your code use only APIs present in the docs?
  - Are you recommending current best practices?
  - Did you check for deprecations or warnings?
  - Is the version specified or clearly latest?
  - If upgrade exists, did you provide migration guidance?
  
  ### 🚫 Never Do:
  - ❌ **Guess API signatures** - Always verify with Context7
  - ❌ **Use outdated patterns** - Check docs for current recommendations
  - ❌ **Ignore versions** - Version matters for accuracy
  - ❌ **Skip version checking** - ALWAYS check package.json and inform about upgrades
  - ❌ **Hide upgrade info** - Always tell users if newer versions exist
  - ❌ **Skip library resolution** - Always resolve before fetching docs
  - ❌ **Hallucinate features** - If docs don't mention it, it may not exist
  - ❌ **Provide generic answers** - Be specific to the library version

  ## Error Prevention Checklist
  
  Before responding to any library-specific question:
  
  1. ☐ **Identified the library/framework** - What exactly are they asking about?
  2. ☐ **Resolved library ID** - Used `resolve-library-id` successfully?
  3. ☐ **Read package.json** - Found current installed version?
  4. ☐ **Determined latest version** - Checked Context7 versions OR npm registry?
  5. ☐ **Compared versions** - Is user on latest? How many versions behind?
  6. ☐ **Fetched documentation** - Used `get-library-docs` with appropriate topic?
  7. ☐ **Fetched upgrade docs** - If newer version exists, fetched docs for it too?
  8. ☐ **Informed about upgrades** - Told user if upgrade is available?
  9. ☐ **Provided migration guide** - If upgrade exists, showed how to migrate?
  10. ☐ **Verified APIs** - All methods/properties exist in the docs?
  11. ☐ **Checked deprecations** - No deprecated patterns in response?
  12. ☐ **Included examples** - Code samples match doc examples?
  13. ☐ **Specified version** - Clear what version the advice applies to?
  
  If any checkbox is ❌, **STOP and complete that step first.**

  ## Example Interactions
  
  ### Example 1: Simple API Question
  ```
  User: "How do I use useState in React?"
  
  Agent:
  1. resolve-library-id({ libraryName: "react" })
  2. get-library-docs({
       context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/facebook/react",
       topic: "useState"
     })
  3. Response:
     "In React, `useState` is a Hook that lets you add state to function components:
  
     ```typescript
     import { useState } from 'react';
  
     function Counter() {
       const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
       return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>{count}</button>;
     }
     ```
  
     Key points from React docs:
     - Returns array with current state and updater function
     - Can initialize with value or lazy initializer function
     - State updates trigger re-renders
     - Updater function can use callback form for updates based on previous state
  
     (Based on React v18 documentation)"
  ```
  
  ### Example 2: Multi-Library Integration
  ```
  User: "Create a Next.js API route that validates data with Zod"
  
  Agent:
  1. resolve-library-id({ libraryName: "next.js" })
  2. resolve-library-id({ libraryName: "zod" })
  3. get-library-docs for both with topics "api-routes" and "schema-validation"
  4. Generate integrated solution showing:
     - Next.js 14 App Router API route structure
     - Zod schema definition
     - Proper error handling
     - Type safety integration
     - Both libraries' current best practices
  ```
  
  ### Example 3: Version-Specific Guidance
  ```
  User: "I'm using Next.js 13, how do I create dynamic routes?"
  
  Agent:
  1. resolve-library-id({ libraryName: "next.js" })
  2. get-library-docs({
       context7CompatibleLibraryID: "/vercel/next.js/v13.0.0",
       topic: "routing"
     })
  3. Provide Next.js 13-specific routing patterns
  4. Optionally mention: "Note: Next.js 14 introduced [changes] if you're considering upgrading"
  ```

  Output:
  ```
  # CONTEXT ARTIFACT: Competitor Pricing Automation (Incomplete)
  **Generated**: 2026-01-07 09:15
  **Source Platform**: Browser Agent v2.1
  **Continuation Priority**: Critical
  
  ## SESSION OVERVIEW
  Automated scraping of 50 competitor websites for pricing comparison. Completed 32/50 before rate limiting. Need immediate continuation to meet Friday deadline.
  
  ## CORE CONTEXT
  ### Original Requirements
  - Scrape pricing for "wireless earbuds under $100" from 50 e-commerce sites
  - Extract: product name, price, rating, review count
  - Output: Single CSV for analysis
  - Deadline: Friday 5pm
  
  ### Evolution & Decisions
  - ✓ Added retry logic after initial failures on JS-heavy sites
  - ✓ Switched to headless Chrome (from requests library) for better compatibility
  - ✓ Implemented 3-second delays between requests per domain
  - ✓ User added instruction: "Skip sites requiring login"
  
  ### Current Progress
  - Completed: 32/50 sites successfully scraped (2,847 products)
  - In Progress: None (halted at rate limit)
  - Pending: 18 sites remaining (list in "Continuation Query" below)
  - Blocked: Rate limited on domains: amazon.com, walmart.com, target.com (need 2-hour cooldown)
  
  ## KNOWLEDGE BASE
  ### Established Rules & Protocols
  - Respect robots.txt without exception
  - Max 1 request per 3 seconds per domain
  - Skip products with no reviews (noise in data)
  - Handle pagination up to 5 pages max per site
  
  ### Challenges & Mitigations
  - Challenge: Dynamic pricing (changes during scraping)
    Mitigation: Timestamp each entry
  - Challenge: Anti-bot CAPTCHAs on 3 sites
    Mitigation: User approved manual data entry for these 3
  - Challenge: Rate limiting
    Mitigation: Implement exponential backoff, rotate user agents
  
  ## CONTINUATION QUERY
  "Continue pricing scraping automation. 18 sites remaining: [bestbuy.com, newegg.com, ebay.com...]. Use existing CSV 'pricing_data_partial.csv' (2,847 entries). Rate-limited domains need 2hr wait. Prioritize non-blocked sites first. Apply all established rules: 3-sec delays, skip no-reviews, 5-page pagination limit. Deliver final CSV by Friday 5pm."

  ### Governance & Standards
  **Instructions Hierarchy:**
  1. `copilot-instructions.md` - Project-wide immutable rules
  2. Sprint instructions - Temporal variations per sprint
  3. Epic instructions - Goal-specific invocations
  
  **Conventional Patterns:**
  - Commits: `type(scope): description` per Conventional Commits spec
  - Memory prompt: Session state preservation template
  - Log prompt: Structured activity tracking format
  
  (... sections continue: Reusable Components, Quality Gates, Continuation Instructions for rebuilding with new AI agents...)
  ```
  
  # Notes
  
  - **Universality**: Structure must be interpretable by any AI platform (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.)
  - **Completeness vs Brevity**: Balance comprehensive context with readability - use nested sections for deep detail
  - **Version Control**: Include timestamps and source platform for tracking context evolution across multiple handoffs
  - **Action Orientation**: Always end with clear "Continuation Query" - the exact prompt for next AI to use
  - **Project-Scale Adaptation**: For full project migrations (Case 3), expand "Project Structure" section significantly while keeping other sections concise
  - **Failure Documentation**: Explicitly capture what didn't work and why - this prevents next AI from repeating mistakes
  - **Rule Preservation**: When rules/protocols were established during session, include the context of WHY they were needed
  - **Assumption Validation**: Mark assumptions as "validated", "pending validation", or "invalidated" for clarity

• 5.Vision-to-json

  Copy

  This is a request for a System Instruction (or "Meta-Prompt") that you can use to configure a Gemini Gem. This prompt is designed to force the model into a hyper-analytical mode where it prioritizes completeness and granularity over conversational brevity.
  
  System Instruction / Prompt for "Vision-to-JSON" Gem
  
  Copy and paste the following block directly into the "Instructions" field of your Gemini Gem:
  
  ROLE & OBJECTIVE
  
  You are VisionStruct, an advanced Computer Vision & Data Serialization Engine. Your sole purpose is to ingest visual input (images) and transcode every discernible visual element—both macro and micro—into a rigorous, machine-readable JSON format.
  
  CORE DIRECTIVEDo not summarize. Do not offer "high-level" overviews unless nested within the global context. You must capture 100% of the visual data available in the image. If a detail exists in pixels, it must exist in your JSON output. You are not describing art; you are creating a database record of reality.
  
  ANALYSIS PROTOCOL
  
  Before generating the final JSON, perform a silent "Visual Sweep" (do not output this):
  
  Macro Sweep: Identify the scene type, global lighting, atmosphere, and primary subjects.
  
  Micro Sweep: Scan for textures, imperfections, background clutter, reflections, shadow gradients, and text (OCR).
  
  Relationship Sweep: Map the spatial and semantic connections between objects (e.g., "holding," "obscuring," "next to").
  
  OUTPUT FORMAT (STRICT)
  
  You must return ONLY a single valid JSON object. Do not include markdown fencing (like ```json) or conversational filler before/after. Use the following schema structure, expanding arrays as needed to cover every detail:

  CRITICAL CONSTRAINTS
  
  Granularity: Never say "a crowd of people." Instead, list the crowd as a group object, but then list visible distinct individuals as sub-objects or detailed attributes (clothing colors, actions).
  
  Micro-Details: You must note scratches, dust, weather wear, specific fabric folds, and subtle lighting gradients.
  
  Null Values: If a field is not applicable, set it to null rather than omitting it, to maintain schema consistency.
  
  the final output must be in a code box with a copy button.

  # MCP Server Development Guide
  
  ## Overview
  
  Create MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable LLMs to interact with external services through well-designed tools. The quality of an MCP server is measured by how well it enables LLMs to accomplish real-world tasks.
  
  ---
  
  # Process
  
  ## 🚀 High-Level Workflow
  
  Creating a high-quality MCP server involves four main phases:
  
  ### Phase 1: Deep Research and Planning
  
  #### 1.1 Understand Modern MCP Design
  
  **API Coverage vs. Workflow Tools:**
  Balance comprehensive API endpoint coverage with specialized workflow tools. 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. Plus AI models are good at generating TypeScript code, benefiting from its broad usage, static typing and good linting tools)
  - **Transport**: Streamable HTTP for remote servers, using stateless JSON (simpler to scale and maintain, as opposed to stateful sessions and streaming responses). stdio for local servers.
  
  **Load framework documentation:**
  
  - **MCP Best Practices**: [📋 View Best Practices](./reference/mcp_best_practices.md) - Core guidelines
  
  **For TypeScript (recommended):**
  - **TypeScript SDK**: Use WebFetch to load `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/main/README.md`
  - [⚡ TypeScript Guide](./reference/node_mcp_server.md) - TypeScript patterns and examples
  
  **For Python:**
  - **Python SDK**: Use WebFetch to load `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/main/README.md`
  - [🐍 Python Guide](./reference/python_mcp_server.md) - Python patterns and examples
  
  #### 1.4 Plan Your Implementation
  
  **Understand the API:**
  Review the service's API documentation to identify key endpoints, authentication requirements, and data models. Use web search and WebFetch as needed.
  
  **Tool Selection:**
  Prioritize comprehensive API coverage. List endpoints to implement, starting with the most common operations.
  
  ---
  
  ### Phase 2: Implementation
  
  #### 2.1 Set Up Project Structure
  
  See language-specific guides for project setup:
  - [⚡ TypeScript Guide](./reference/node_mcp_server.md) - Project structure, package.json, tsconfig.json
  - [🐍 Python Guide](./reference/python_mcp_server.md) - Module organization, dependencies
  
  #### 2.2 Implement Core Infrastructure
  
  Create shared utilities:
  - API client with authentication
  - Error handling helpers
  - Response formatting (JSON/Markdown)
  - Pagination support
  
  #### 2.3 Implement Tools
  
  For each tool:
  
  **Input Schema:**
  - Use Zod (TypeScript) or Pydantic (Python)
  - Include constraints and clear descriptions
  - Add examples in field descriptions
  
  **Output Schema:**
  - Define `outputSchema` where possible for structured data
  - Use `structuredContent` in tool responses (TypeScript SDK feature)
  - Helps clients understand and process tool outputs
  
  **Tool Description:**
  - Concise summary of functionality
  - Parameter descriptions
  - Return type schema
  
  **Implementation:**
  - Async/await for I/O operations
  - Proper error handling with actionable messages
  - Support pagination where applicable
  - Return both text content and structured data when using modern SDKs
  
  **Annotations:**
  - `readOnlyHint`: true/false
  - `destructiveHint`: true/false
  - `idempotentHint`: true/false
  - `openWorldHint`: true/false
  
  ---
  
  ### Phase 3: Review and Test
  
  #### 3.1 Code Quality
  
  Review for:
  - No duplicated code (DRY principle)
  - Consistent error handling
  - Full type coverage
  - Clear tool descriptions
  
  #### 3.2 Build and Test
  
  **TypeScript:**
  - Run `npm run build` to verify compilation
  - Test with MCP Inspector: `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector`
  
  **Python:**
  - Verify syntax: `python -m py_compile your_server.py`
  - Test with MCP Inspector
  
  See language-specific guides for detailed testing approaches and quality checklists.
  
  ---
  
  ### Phase 4: Create Evaluations
  
  After implementing your MCP server, create comprehensive evaluations to test its effectiveness.
  
  **Load [✅ Evaluation Guide](./reference/evaluation.md) for complete evaluation guidelines.**
  
  #### 4.1 Understand Evaluation Purpose
  
  Use evaluations to test whether LLMs can effectively use your MCP server to answer realistic, complex questions.
  
  #### 4.2 Create 10 Evaluation Questions
  
  To create effective evaluations, follow the process outlined in the evaluation guide:
  
  1. **Tool Inspection**: List available tools and understand their capabilities
  2. **Content Exploration**: Use READ-ONLY operations to explore available data
  3. **Question Generation**: Create 10 complex, realistic questions
  4. **Answer Verification**: Solve each question yourself to verify answers
  
  #### 4.3 Evaluation Requirements
  
  Ensure each question is:
  - **Independent**: Not dependent on other questions
  - **Read-only**: Only non-destructive operations required
  - **Complex**: Requiring multiple tool calls and deep exploration
  - **Realistic**: Based on real use cases humans would care about
  - **Verifiable**: Single, clear answer that can be verified by string comparison
  - **Stable**: Answer won't change over time

  # MCP Server Best Practices
  
  ## Quick Reference
  
  ### Server Naming
  - **Python**: `{service}_mcp` (e.g., `slack_mcp`)
  - **Node/TypeScript**: `{service}-mcp-server` (e.g., `slack-mcp-server`)
  
  ### Tool Naming
  - Use snake_case with service prefix
  - Format: `{service}_{action}_{resource}`
  - Example: `slack_send_message`, `github_create_issue`
  
  ### Response Formats
  - Support both JSON and Markdown formats
  - JSON for programmatic processing
  - Markdown for human readability
  
  ### Pagination
  - Always respect `limit` parameter
  - Return `has_more`, `next_offset`, `total_count`
  - Default to 20-50 items
  
  ### Transport
  - **Streamable HTTP**: For remote servers, multi-client scenarios
  - **stdio**: For local integrations, command-line tools
  - Avoid SSE (deprecated in favor of streamable HTTP)
  
  ---
  
  ## Server Naming Conventions
  
  Follow these standardized naming patterns:
  
  **Python**: Use format `{service}_mcp` (lowercase with underscores)
  - Examples: `slack_mcp`, `github_mcp`, `jira_mcp`
  
  **Node/TypeScript**: Use format `{service}-mcp-server` (lowercase with hyphens)
  - Examples: `slack-mcp-server`, `github-mcp-server`, `jira-mcp-server`
  
  The name should be general, descriptive of the service being integrated, easy to infer from the task description, and without version numbers.
  
  ---
  
  ## Tool Naming and Design
  
  ### Tool Naming
  
  1. **Use snake_case**: `search_users`, `create_project`, `get_channel_info`
  2. **Include service prefix**: Anticipate that your MCP server may be used alongside other MCP servers
     - Use `slack_send_message` instead of just `send_message`
     - Use `github_create_issue` instead of just `create_issue`
  3. **Be action-oriented**: Start with verbs (get, list, search, create, etc.)
  4. **Be specific**: Avoid generic names that could conflict with other servers
  
  ### Tool Design
  
  - Tool descriptions must narrowly and unambiguously describe functionality
  - Descriptions must precisely match actual functionality
  - Provide tool annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
  - Keep tool operations focused and atomic
  
  ---
  
  ## Response Formats
  
  All tools that return data should support multiple formats:
  
  ### JSON Format (`response_format="json"`)
  - Machine-readable structured data
  - Include all available fields and metadata
  - Consistent field names and types
  - Use for programmatic processing
  
  ### Markdown Format (`response_format="markdown"`, typically default)
  - Human-readable formatted text
  - Use headers, lists, and formatting for clarity
  - Convert timestamps to human-readable format
  - Show display names with IDs in parentheses
  - Omit verbose metadata
  
  ---
  
  ## Pagination
  
  For tools that list resources:
  
  - **Always respect the `limit` parameter**
  - **Implement pagination**: Use `offset` or cursor-based pagination
  - **Return pagination metadata**: Include `has_more`, `next_offset`/`next_cursor`, `total_count`
  - **Never load all results into memory**: Especially important for large datasets
  - **Default to reasonable limits**: 20-50 items is typical
  
  Example pagination response:
  ```json
  {
    "total": 150,
    "count": 20,
    "offset": 0,
    "items": [...],
    "has_more": true,
    "next_offset": 20
  }
  ```
  
  ---
  
  ## Transport Options
  
  ### Streamable HTTP
  
  **Best for**: Remote servers, web services, multi-client scenarios
  
  **Characteristics**:
  - Bidirectional communication over HTTP
  - Supports multiple simultaneous clients
  - Can be deployed as a web service
  - Enables server-to-client notifications
  
  **Use when**:
  - Serving multiple clients simultaneously
  - Deploying as a cloud service
  - Integration with web applications
  
  ### stdio
  
  **Best for**: Local integrations, command-line tools
  
  **Characteristics**:
  - Standard input/output stream communication
  - Simple setup, no network configuration needed
  - Runs as a subprocess of the client
  
  **Use when**:
  - Building tools for local development environments
  - Integrating with desktop applications
  - Single-user, single-session scenarios
  
  **Note**: stdio servers should NOT log to stdout (use stderr for logging)
  
  ### Transport Selection
  
  | Criterion | stdio | Streamable HTTP |
  |-----------|-------|-----------------|
  | **Deployment** | Local | Remote |
  | **Clients** | Single | Multiple |
  | **Complexity** | Low | Medium |
  | **Real-time** | No | Yes |
  
  ---
  
  ## Security Best Practices
  
  ### Authentication and Authorization
  
  **OAuth 2.1**:
  - Use secure OAuth 2.1 with certificates from recognized authorities
  - Validate access tokens before processing requests
  - Only accept tokens specifically intended for your server
  
  **API Keys**:
  - Store API keys in environment variables, never in code
  - Validate keys on server startup
  - Provide clear error messages when authentication fails
  
  ### Input Validation
  
  - Sanitize file paths to prevent directory traversal
  - Validate URLs and external identifiers
  - Check parameter sizes and ranges
  - Prevent command injection in system calls
  - Use schema validation (Pydantic/Zod) for all inputs
  
  ### Error Handling
  
  - Don't expose internal errors to clients
  - Log security-relevant errors server-side
  - Provide helpful but not revealing error messages
  - Clean up resources after errors
  
  ### DNS Rebinding Protection
  
  For streamable HTTP servers running locally:
  - Enable DNS rebinding protection
  - Validate the `Origin` header on all incoming connections
  - Bind to `127.0.0.1` rather than `0.0.0.0`
  
  ---
  
  ## Tool Annotations
  
  Provide annotations to help clients understand tool behavior:
  
  | Annotation | Type | Default | Description |
  |-----------|------|---------|-------------|
  | `readOnlyHint` | boolean | false | Tool does not modify its environment |
  | `destructiveHint` | boolean | true | Tool may perform destructive updates |
  | `idempotentHint` | boolean | false | Repeated calls with same args have no additional effect |
  | `openWorldHint` | boolean | true | Tool interacts with external entities |
  
  **Important**: Annotations are hints, not security guarantees. Clients should not make security-critical decisions based solely on annotations.
  
  ---
  
  ## Error Handling
  
  - Use standard JSON-RPC error codes
  - Report tool errors within result objects (not protocol-level errors)
  - Provide helpful, specific error messages with suggested next steps
  - Don't expose internal implementation details
  - Clean up resources properly on errors
  
  Example error handling:
  ```typescript
  try {
    const result = performOperation();
    return { content: [{ type: "text", text: result }] };
  } catch (error) {
    return {
      isError: true,
      content: [{
        type: "text",
        text: `Error: ${error.message}. Try using filter='active_only' to reduce results.`
      }]
    };
  }
  ```
  
  ---
  
  ## Testing Requirements
  
  Comprehensive testing should cover:
  
  - **Functional testing**: Verify correct execution with valid/invalid inputs
  - **Integration testing**: Test interaction with external systems
  - **Security testing**: Validate auth, input sanitization, rate limiting
  - **Performance testing**: Check behavior under load, timeouts
  - **Error handling**: Ensure proper error reporting and cleanup
  
  ---
  
  ## Documentation Requirements
  
  - Provide clear documentation of all tools and capabilities
  - Include working examples (at least 3 per major feature)
  - Document security considerations
  - Specify required permissions and access levels
  - Document rate limits and performance characteristics

  # MCP Server Evaluation Guide
  
  ## Overview
  
  This document provides guidance on creating comprehensive evaluations for MCP servers. Evaluations test whether LLMs can effectively use your MCP server to answer realistic, complex questions using only the tools provided.
  
  ---
  
  ## Quick Reference
  
  ### Evaluation Requirements
  - Create 10 human-readable questions
  - Questions must be READ-ONLY, INDEPENDENT, NON-DESTRUCTIVE
  - Each question requires multiple tool calls (potentially dozens)
  - Answers must be single, verifiable values
  - Answers must be STABLE (won't change over time)
  
  ### Output Format
  ```xml
  <evaluation>
     <qa_pair>
        <question>Your question here</question>
        <answer>Single verifiable answer</answer>
     </qa_pair>
  </evaluation>
  ```
  
  ---
  
  ## Purpose of Evaluations
  
  The measure of quality of an MCP server is NOT how well or comprehensively the server implements tools, but how well these implementations (input/output schemas, docstrings/descriptions, functionality) enable LLMs with no other context and access ONLY to the MCP servers to answer realistic and difficult questions.
  
  ## Evaluation Overview
  
  Create 10 human-readable questions requiring ONLY READ-ONLY, INDEPENDENT, NON-DESTRUCTIVE, and IDEMPOTENT operations to answer. Each question should be:
  - Realistic
  - Clear and concise
  - Unambiguous
  - Complex, requiring potentially dozens of tool calls or steps
  - Answerable with a single, verifiable value that you identify in advance
  
  ## Question Guidelines
  
  ### Core Requirements
  
  1. **Questions MUST be independent**
     - Each question should NOT depend on the answer to any other question
     - Should not assume prior write operations from processing another question
  
  2. **Questions MUST require ONLY NON-DESTRUCTIVE AND IDEMPOTENT tool use**
     - Should not instruct or require modifying state to arrive at the correct answer
  
  3. **Questions must be REALISTIC, CLEAR, CONCISE, and COMPLEX**
     - Must require another LLM to use multiple (potentially dozens of) tools or steps to answer
  
  ### Complexity and Depth
  
  4. **Questions must require deep exploration**
     - Consider multi-hop questions requiring multiple sub-questions and sequential tool calls
     - Each step should benefit from information found in previous questions
  
  5. **Questions may require extensive paging**
     - May need paging through multiple pages of results
     - May require querying old data (1-2 years out-of-date) to find niche information
     - The questions must be DIFFICULT
  
  6. **Questions must require deep understanding**
     - Rather than surface-level knowledge
     - May pose complex ideas as True/False questions requiring evidence
     - May use multiple-choice format where LLM must search different hypotheses
  
  7. **Questions must not be solvable with straightforward keyword search**
     - Do not include specific keywords from the target content
     - Use synonyms, related concepts, or paraphrases
     - Require multiple searches, analyzing multiple related items, extracting context, then deriving the answer
  
  ### Tool Testing
  
  8. **Questions should stress-test tool return values**
     - May elicit tools returning large JSON objects or lists, overwhelming the LLM
     - Should require understanding multiple modalities of data:
       - IDs and names
       - Timestamps and datetimes (months, days, years, seconds)
       - File IDs, names, extensions, and mimetypes
       - URLs, GIDs, etc.
     - Should probe the tool's ability to return all useful forms of data
  
  9. **Questions should MOSTLY reflect real human use cases**
     - The kinds of information retrieval tasks that HUMANS assisted by an LLM would care about
  
  10. **Questions may require dozens of tool calls**
      - This challenges LLMs with limited context
      - Encourages MCP server tools to reduce information returned
  
  11. **Include ambiguous questions**
      - May be ambiguous OR require difficult decisions on which tools to call
      - Force the LLM to potentially make mistakes or misinterpret
      - Ensure that despite AMBIGUITY, there is STILL A SINGLE VERIFIABLE ANSWER
  
  ### Stability
  
  12. **Questions must be designed so the answer DOES NOT CHANGE**
      - Do not ask questions that rely on "current state" which is dynamic
      - For example, do not count:
        - Number of reactions to a post
        - Number of replies to a thread
        - Number of members in a channel
  
  13. **DO NOT let the MCP server RESTRICT the kinds of questions you create**
      - 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
  <evaluation>
     <qa_pair>
        <question>Find the project created in Q2 2024 with the highest number of completed tasks. What is the project name?</question>
        <answer>Website Redesign</answer>
     </qa_pair>
     <qa_pair>
        <question>Search for issues labeled as "bug" that were closed in March 2024. Which user closed the most issues? Provide their username.</question>
        <answer>sarah_dev</answer>
     </qa_pair>
     <qa_pair>
        <question>Look for pull requests that modified files in the /api directory and were merged between January 1 and January 31, 2024. How many different contributors worked on these PRs?</question>
        <answer>7</answer>
     </qa_pair>
     <qa_pair>
        <question>Find the repository with the most stars that was created before 2023. What is the repository name?</question>
        <answer>data-pipeline</answer>
     </qa_pair>
  </evaluation>
  ```
  
  ## Evaluation Examples
  
  ### Good Questions
  
  **Example 1: Multi-hop question requiring deep exploration (GitHub MCP)**
  ```xml
  <qa_pair>
     <question>Find the repository that was archived in Q3 2023 and had previously been the most forked project in the organization. What was the primary programming language used in that repository?</question>
     <answer>Python</answer>
  </qa_pair>
  ```
  
  This question is good because:
  - Requires multiple searches to find archived repositories
  - Needs to identify which had the most forks before archival
  - Requires examining repository details for the language
  - Answer is a simple, verifiable value
  - Based on historical (closed) data that won't change
  
  **Example 2: Requires understanding context without keyword matching (Project Management MCP)**
  ```xml
  <qa_pair>
     <question>Locate the initiative focused on improving customer onboarding that was completed in late 2023. The project lead created a retrospective document after completion. What was the lead's role title at that time?</question>
     <answer>Product Manager</answer>
  </qa_pair>
  ```
  
  This question is good because:
  - Doesn't use specific project name ("initiative focused on improving customer onboarding")
  - Requires finding completed projects from specific timeframe
  - Needs to identify the project lead and their role
  - Requires understanding context from retrospective documents
  - Answer is human-readable and stable
  - Based on completed work (won't change)
  
  **Example 3: Complex aggregation requiring multiple steps (Issue Tracker MCP)**
  ```xml
  <qa_pair>
     <question>Among all bugs reported in January 2024 that were marked as critical priority, which assignee resolved the highest percentage of their assigned bugs within 48 hours? Provide the assignee's username.</question>
     <answer>alex_eng</answer>
  </qa_pair>
  ```
  
  This question is good because:
  - Requires filtering bugs by date, priority, and status
  - Needs to group by assignee and calculate resolution rates
  - Requires understanding timestamps to determine 48-hour windows
  - Tests pagination (potentially many bugs to process)
  - Answer is a single username
  - Based on historical data from specific time period
  
  **Example 4: Requires synthesis across multiple data types (CRM MCP)**
  ```xml
  <qa_pair>
     <question>Find the account that upgraded from the Starter to Enterprise plan in Q4 2023 and had the highest annual contract value. What industry does this account operate in?</question>
     <answer>Healthcare</answer>
  </qa_pair>
  ```
  
  This question is good because:
  - Requires understanding subscription tier changes
  - Needs to identify upgrade events in specific timeframe
  - Requires comparing contract values
  - Must access account industry information
  - Answer is simple and verifiable
  - Based on completed historical transactions
  
  ### Poor Questions
  
  **Example 1: Answer changes over time**
  ```xml
  <qa_pair>
     <question>How many open issues are currently assigned to the engineering team?</question>
     <answer>47</answer>
  </qa_pair>
  ```
  
  This question is poor because:
  - The answer will change as issues are created, closed, or reassigned
  - Not based on stable/stationary data
  - Relies on "current state" which is dynamic
  
  **Example 2: Too easy with keyword search**
  ```xml
  <qa_pair>
     <question>Find the pull request with title "Add authentication feature" and tell me who created it.</question>
     <answer>developer123</answer>
  </qa_pair>
  ```
  
  This question is poor because:
  - Can be solved with a straightforward keyword search for exact title
  - Doesn't require deep exploration or understanding
  - No synthesis or analysis needed
  
  **Example 3: Ambiguous answer format**
  ```xml
  <qa_pair>
     <question>List all the repositories that have Python as their primary language.</question>
     <answer>repo1, repo2, repo3, data-pipeline, ml-tools</answer>
  </qa_pair>
  ```
  
  This question is poor because:
  - Answer is a list that could be returned in any order
  - Difficult to verify with direct string comparison
  - LLM might format differently (JSON array, comma-separated, newline-separated)
  - Better to ask for a specific aggregate (count) or superlative (most stars)
  
  ## Verification Process
  
  After creating evaluations:
  
  1. **Examine the XML file** to understand the schema
  2. **Load each task instruction** and in parallel using the MCP server and tools, identify the correct answer by attempting to solve the task YOURSELF
  3. **Flag any operations** that require WRITE or DESTRUCTIVE operations
  4. **Accumulate all CORRECT answers** and replace any incorrect answers in the document
  5. **Remove any `<qa_pair>`** that require WRITE or DESTRUCTIVE operations
  
  Remember to parallelize solving tasks to avoid running out of context, then accumulate all answers and make changes to the file at the end.
  
  ## Tips for Creating Quality Evaluations
  
  1. **Think Hard and Plan Ahead** before generating tasks
  2. **Parallelize Where Opportunity Arises** to speed up the process and manage context
  3. **Focus on Realistic Use Cases** that humans would actually want to accomplish
  4. **Create Challenging Questions** that test the limits of the MCP server's capabilities
  5. **Ensure Stability** by using historical data and closed concepts
  6. **Verify Answers** by solving the questions yourself using the MCP server tools
  7. **Iterate and Refine** based on what you learn during the process

  ## Running Evaluations
  
  The evaluation script (`scripts/evaluation.py`) supports three transport types:
  
  **Important:**
  - **stdio transport**: The evaluation script automatically launches and manages the MCP server process for you. Do not run the server manually.
  - **sse/http transports**: You must start the MCP server separately before running the evaluation. The script connects to the already-running server at the specified URL.
  
  ### 1. Local STDIO Server
  
  For locally-run MCP servers (script launches the server automatically):
  
  ```bash
  python scripts/evaluation.py \
    -t stdio \
    -c python \
    -a my_mcp_server.py \
    evaluation.xml
  ```
  
  With environment variables:
  ```bash
  python scripts/evaluation.py \
    -t stdio \
    -c python \
    -a my_mcp_server.py \
    -e API_KEY=abc123 \
    -e DEBUG=true \
    evaluation.xml
  ```
  
  ### 2. Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  
  For SSE-based MCP servers (you must start the server first):
  
  ```bash
  python scripts/evaluation.py \
    -t sse \
    -u https://example.com/mcp \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer token123" \
    -H "X-Custom-Header: value" \
    evaluation.xml
  ```
  
  ### 3. HTTP (Streamable HTTP)
  
  For HTTP-based MCP servers (you must start the server first):
  
  ```bash
  python scripts/evaluation.py \
    -t http \
    -u https://example.com/mcp \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer token123" \
    evaluation.xml
  ```
  
  ## Command-Line Options
  
  ```
  usage: evaluation.py [-h] [-t {stdio,sse,http}] [-m MODEL] [-c COMMAND]
                       [-a ARGS [ARGS ...]] [-e ENV [ENV ...]] [-u URL]
                       [-H HEADERS [HEADERS ...]] [-o OUTPUT]
                       eval_file
  
  positional arguments:
    eval_file             Path to evaluation XML file
  
  optional arguments:
    -h, --help            Show help message
    -t, --transport       Transport type: stdio, sse, or http (default: stdio)
    -m, --model           Claude model to use (default: claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219)
    -o, --output          Output file for report (default: print to stdout)
  
  stdio options:
    -c, --command         Command to run MCP server (e.g., python, node)
    -a, --args            Arguments for the command (e.g., server.py)
    -e, --env             Environment variables in KEY=VALUE format
  
  sse/http options:
    -u, --url             MCP server URL
    -H, --header          HTTP headers in 'Key: Value' format
  ```
  
  ## Output
  
  The evaluation script generates a detailed report including:
  
  - **Summary Statistics**:
    - Accuracy (correct/total)
    - Average task duration
    - Average tool calls per task
    - Total tool calls
  
  - **Per-Task Results**:
    - Prompt and expected response
    - Actual response from the agent
    - Whether the answer was correct (✅/❌)
    - Duration and tool call details
    - Agent's summary of its approach
    - Agent's feedback on the tools
  
  ### Save Report to File
  
  ```bash
  python scripts/evaluation.py \
    -t stdio \
    -c python \
    -a my_server.py \
    -o evaluation_report.md \
    evaluation.xml
  ```
  
  ## Complete Example Workflow
  
  Here's a complete example of creating and running an evaluation:
  
  1. **Create your evaluation file** (`my_evaluation.xml`):
  
  ```xml
  <evaluation>
     <qa_pair>
        <question>Find the user who created the most issues in January 2024. What is their username?</question>
        <answer>alice_developer</answer>
     </qa_pair>
     <qa_pair>
        <question>Among all pull requests merged in Q1 2024, which repository had the highest number? Provide the repository name.</question>
        <answer>backend-api</answer>
     </qa_pair>
     <qa_pair>
        <question>Find the project that was completed in December 2023 and had the longest duration from start to finish. How many days did it take?</question>
        <answer>127</answer>
     </qa_pair>
  </evaluation>
  ```
  
  2. **Install dependencies**:
  
  ```bash
  pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
  export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key
  ```
  
  3. **Run evaluation**:
  
  ```bash
  python scripts/evaluation.py \
    -t stdio \
    -c python \
    -a github_mcp_server.py \
    -e GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxx \
    -o github_eval_report.md \
    my_evaluation.xml
  ```
  
  4. **Review the report** in `github_eval_report.md` to:
     - See which questions passed/failed
     - Read the agent's feedback on your tools
     - Identify areas for improvement
     - Iterate on your MCP server design
  
  ## Troubleshooting
  
  ### Connection Errors
  
  If you get connection errors:
  - **STDIO**: Verify the command and arguments are correct
  - **SSE/HTTP**: Check the URL is accessible and headers are correct
  - Ensure any required API keys are set in environment variables or headers
  
  ### Low Accuracy
  
  If many evaluations fail:
  - Review the agent's feedback for each task
  - Check if tool descriptions are clear and comprehensive
  - Verify input parameters are well-documented
  - Consider whether tools return too much or too little data
  - Ensure error messages are actionable
  
  ### Timeout Issues
  
  If tasks are timing out:
  - Use a more capable model (e.g., `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219`)
  - Check if tools are returning too much data
  - Verify pagination is working correctly
  - Consider simplifying complex questions

  # Node/TypeScript MCP Server Implementation Guide
  
  ## Overview
  
  This document provides Node/TypeScript-specific best practices and examples for implementing MCP servers using the MCP TypeScript SDK. It covers project structure, server setup, tool registration patterns, input validation with Zod, error handling, and complete working examples.
  
  ---
  
  ## Quick Reference
  
  ### Key Imports
  ```typescript
  import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
  import { StreamableHTTPServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/streamableHttp.js";
  import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
  import express from "express";
  import { z } from "zod";
  ```
  
  ### Server Initialization
  ```typescript
  const server = new McpServer({
    name: "service-mcp-server",
    version: "1.0.0"
  });
  ```
  
  ### Tool Registration Pattern
  ```typescript
  server.registerTool(
    "tool_name",
    {
      title: "Tool Display Name",
      description: "What the tool does",
      inputSchema: { param: z.string() },
      outputSchema: { result: z.string() }
    },
    async ({ param }) => {
      const output = { result: `Processed: ${param}` };
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(output) }],
        structuredContent: output // Modern pattern for structured data
      };
    }
  );
  ```
  
  ---
  
  ## MCP TypeScript SDK
  
  The official MCP TypeScript SDK provides:
  - `McpServer` class for server initialization
  - `registerTool` method for tool registration
  - Zod schema integration for runtime input validation
  - Type-safe tool handler implementations
  
  **IMPORTANT - Use Modern APIs Only:**
  - **DO use**: `server.registerTool()`, `server.registerResource()`, `server.registerPrompt()`
  - **DO NOT use**: Old deprecated APIs such as `server.tool()`, `server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, ...)`, or manual handler registration
  - The `register*` methods provide better type safety, automatic schema handling, and are the recommended approach
  
  See the MCP SDK documentation in the references for complete details.
  
  ## Server Naming Convention
  
  Node/TypeScript MCP servers must follow this naming pattern:
  - **Format**: `{service}-mcp-server` (lowercase with hyphens)
  - **Examples**: `github-mcp-server`, `jira-mcp-server`, `stripe-mcp-server`
  
  The name should be:
  - General (not tied to specific features)
  - Descriptive of the service/API being integrated
  - Easy to infer from the task description
  - Without version numbers or dates
  
  ## Project Structure
  
  Create the following structure for Node/TypeScript MCP servers:
  
  ```
  {service}-mcp-server/
  ├── package.json
  ├── tsconfig.json
  ├── README.md
  ├── src/
  │   ├── index.ts          # Main entry point with McpServer initialization
  │   ├── types.ts          # TypeScript type definitions and interfaces
  │   ├── tools/            # Tool implementations (one file per domain)
  │   ├── services/         # API clients and shared utilities
  │   ├── schemas/          # Zod validation schemas
  │   └── constants.ts      # Shared constants (API_URL, CHARACTER_LIMIT, etc.)
  └── dist/                 # Built JavaScript files (entry point: dist/index.js)
  ```
  
  ## Tool Implementation
  
  ### Tool Naming
  
  Use snake_case for tool names (e.g., "search_users", "create_project", "get_channel_info") with clear, action-oriented names.
  
  **Avoid Naming Conflicts**: Include the service context to prevent overlaps:
  - Use "slack_send_message" instead of just "send_message"
  - Use "github_create_issue" instead of just "create_issue"
  - Use "asana_list_tasks" instead of just "list_tasks"
  
  ### Tool Structure
  
  Tools are registered using the `registerTool` method with the following requirements:
  - Use Zod schemas for runtime input validation and type safety
  - The `description` field must be explicitly provided - JSDoc comments are NOT automatically extracted
  - Explicitly provide `title`, `description`, `inputSchema`, and `annotations`
  - The `inputSchema` must be a Zod schema object (not a JSON schema)
  - Type all parameters and return values explicitly
  
  ```typescript
  import { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
  import { z } from "zod";
  
  const server = new McpServer({
    name: "example-mcp",
    version: "1.0.0"
  });
  
  // Zod schema for input validation
  const UserSearchInputSchema = z.object({
    query: z.string()
      .min(2, "Query must be at least 2 characters")
      .max(200, "Query must not exceed 200 characters")
      .describe("Search string to match against names/emails"),
    limit: z.number()
      .int()
      .min(1)
      .max(100)
      .default(20)
      .describe("Maximum results to return"),
    offset: z.number()
      .int()
      .min(0)
      .default(0)
      .describe("Number of results to skip for pagination"),
    response_format: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat)
      .default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN)
      .describe("Output format: 'markdown' for human-readable or 'json' for machine-readable")
  }).strict();
  
  // Type definition from Zod schema
  type UserSearchInput = z.infer<typeof UserSearchInputSchema>;
  
  server.registerTool(
    "example_search_users",
    {
      title: "Search Example Users",
      description: `Search for users in the Example system by name, email, or team.
  
  This tool searches across all user profiles in the Example platform, supporting partial matches and various search filters. It does NOT create or modify users, only searches existing ones.
  
  Args:
    - query (string): Search string to match against names/emails
    - limit (number): Maximum results to return, between 1-100 (default: 20)
    - offset (number): Number of results to skip for pagination (default: 0)
    - response_format ('markdown' | 'json'): Output format (default: 'markdown')
  
  Returns:
    For JSON format: Structured data with schema:
    {
      "total": number,           // Total number of matches found
      "count": number,           // Number of results in this response
      "offset": number,          // Current pagination offset
      "users": [
        {
          "id": string,          // User ID (e.g., "U123456789")
          "name": string,        // Full name (e.g., "John Doe")
          "email": string,       // Email address
          "team": string,        // Team name (optional)
          "active": boolean      // Whether user is active
        }
      ],
      "has_more": boolean,       // Whether more results are available
      "next_offset": number      // Offset for next page (if has_more is true)
    }
  
  Examples:
    - Use when: "Find all marketing team members" -> params with query="team:marketing"
    - Use when: "Search for John's account" -> params with query="john"
    - Don't use when: You need to create a user (use example_create_user instead)
  
  Error Handling:
    - Returns "Error: Rate limit exceeded" if too many requests (429 status)
    - Returns "No users found matching '<query>'" if search returns empty`,
      inputSchema: UserSearchInputSchema,
      annotations: {
        readOnlyHint: true,
        destructiveHint: false,
        idempotentHint: true,
        openWorldHint: true
      }
    },
    async (params: UserSearchInput) => {
      try {
        // Input validation is handled by Zod schema
        // Make API request using validated parameters
        const data = await makeApiRequest<any>(
          "users/search",
          "GET",
          undefined,
          {
            q: params.query,
            limit: params.limit,
            offset: params.offset
          }
        );
  
        const users = data.users || [];
        const total = data.total || 0;
  
        if (!users.length) {
          return {
            content: [{
              type: "text",
              text: `No users found matching '${params.query}'`
            }]
          };
        }
  
        // Prepare structured output
        const output = {
          total,
          count: users.length,
          offset: params.offset,
          users: users.map((user: any) => ({
            id: user.id,
            name: user.name,
            email: user.email,
            ...(user.team ? { team: user.team } : {}),
            active: user.active ?? true
          })),
          has_more: total > params.offset + users.length,
          ...(total > params.offset + users.length ? {
            next_offset: params.offset + users.length
          } : {})
        };
  
        // Format text representation based on requested format
        let textContent: string;
        if (params.response_format === ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN) {
          const lines = [`# User Search Results: '${params.query}'`, "",
            `Found ${total} users (showing ${users.length})`, ""];
          for (const user of users) {
            lines.push(`## ${user.name} (${user.id})`);
            lines.push(`- **Email**: ${user.email}`);
            if (user.team) lines.push(`- **Team**: ${user.team}`);
            lines.push("");
          }
          textContent = lines.join("\n");
        } else {
          textContent = JSON.stringify(output, null, 2);
        }
  
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: textContent }],
          structuredContent: output // Modern pattern for structured data
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: handleApiError(error)
          }]
        };
      }
    }
  );
  ```
  
  ## Zod Schemas for Input Validation
  
  Zod provides runtime type validation:
  
  ```typescript
  import { z } from "zod";
  
  // Basic schema with validation
  const CreateUserSchema = z.object({
    name: z.string()
      .min(1, "Name is required")
      .max(100, "Name must not exceed 100 characters"),
    email: z.string()
      .email("Invalid email format"),
    age: z.number()
      .int("Age must be a whole number")
      .min(0, "Age cannot be negative")
      .max(150, "Age cannot be greater than 150")
  }).strict();  // Use .strict() to forbid extra fields
  
  // Enums
  enum ResponseFormat {
    MARKDOWN = "markdown",
    JSON = "json"
  }
  
  const SearchSchema = z.object({
    response_format: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat)
      .default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN)
      .describe("Output format")
  });
  
  // Optional fields with defaults
  const PaginationSchema = z.object({
    limit: z.number()
      .int()
      .min(1)
      .max(100)
      .default(20)
      .describe("Maximum results to return"),
    offset: z.number()
      .int()
      .min(0)
      .default(0)
      .describe("Number of results to skip")
  });
  ```
  
  ## Response Format Options
  
  Support multiple output formats for flexibility:
  
  ```typescript
  enum ResponseFormat {
    MARKDOWN = "markdown",
    JSON = "json"
  }
  
  const inputSchema = z.object({
    query: z.string(),
    response_format: z.nativeEnum(ResponseFormat)
      .default(ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN)
      .describe("Output format: 'markdown' for human-readable or 'json' for machine-readable")
  });
  ```
  
  **Markdown format**:
  - Use headers, lists, and formatting for clarity
  - Convert timestamps to human-readable format
  - Show display names with IDs in parentheses
  - Omit verbose metadata
  - Group related information logically
  
  **JSON format**:
  - Return complete, structured data suitable for programmatic processing
  - Include all available fields and metadata
  - Use consistent field names and types
  
  ## Pagination Implementation
  
  For tools that list resources:
  
  ```typescript
  const ListSchema = z.object({
    limit: z.number().int().min(1).max(100).default(20),
    offset: z.number().int().min(0).default(0)
  });
  
  async function listItems(params: z.infer<typeof ListSchema>) {
    const data = await apiRequest(params.limit, params.offset);
  
    const response = {
      total: data.total,
      count: data.items.length,
      offset: params.offset,
      items: data.items,
      has_more: data.total > params.offset + data.items.length,
      next_offset: data.total > params.offset + data.items.length
        ? params.offset + data.items.length
        : undefined
    };
  
    return JSON.stringify(response, null, 2);
  }
  ```
  
  ## Character Limits and Truncation
  
  Add a CHARACTER_LIMIT constant to prevent overwhelming responses:
  
  ```typescript
  // At module level in constants.ts
  export const CHARACTER_LIMIT = 25000;  // Maximum response size in characters
  
  async function searchTool(params: SearchInput) {
    let result = generateResponse(data);
  
    // Check character limit and truncate if needed
    if (result.length > CHARACTER_LIMIT) {
      const truncatedData = data.slice(0, Math.max(1, data.length / 2));
      response.data = truncatedData;
      response.truncated = true;
      response.truncation_message =
        `Response truncated from ${data.length} to ${truncatedData.length} items. ` +
        `Use 'offset' parameter or add filters to see more results.`;
      result = JSON.stringify(response, null, 2);
    }
  
    return result;
  }
  ```
  
  ## Error Handling
  
  Provide clear, actionable error messages:
  
  ```typescript
  import axios, { AxiosError } from "axios";
  
  function handleApiError(error: unknown): string {
    if (error instanceof AxiosError) {
      if (error.response) {
        switch (error.response.status) {
          case 404:
            return "Error: Resource not found. Please check the ID is correct.";
          case 403:
            return "Error: Permission denied. You don't have access to this resource.";
          case 429:
            return "Error: Rate limit exceeded. Please wait before making more requests.";
          default:
            return `Error: API request failed with status ${error.response.status}`;
        }
      } else if (error.code === "ECONNABORTED") {
        return "Error: Request timed out. Please try again.";
      }
    }
    return `Error: Unexpected error occurred: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`;
  }
  ```
  
  ## Shared Utilities
  
  Extract common functionality into reusable functions:
  
  ```typescript
  // Shared API request function
  async function makeApiRequest<T>(
    endpoint: string,
    method: "GET" | "POST" | "PUT" | "DELETE" = "GET",
    data?: any,
    params?: any
  ): Promise<T> {
    try {
      const response = await axios({
        method,
        url: `${API_BASE_URL}/${endpoint}`,
        data,
        params,
        timeout: 30000,
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
          "Accept": "application/json"
        }
      });
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      throw error;
    }
  }
  ```
  
  ## Async/Await Best Practices
  
  Always use async/await for network requests and I/O operations:
  
  ```typescript
  // Good: Async network request
  async function fetchData(resourceId: string): Promise<ResourceData> {
    const response = await axios.get(`${API_URL}/resource/${resourceId}`);
    return response.data;
  }
  
  // Bad: Promise chains
  function fetchData(resourceId: string): Promise<ResourceData> {
    return axios.get(`${API_URL}/resource/${resourceId}`)
      .then(response => response.data);  // Harder to read and maintain
  }
  ```
  
  ## TypeScript Best Practices
  
  1. **Use Strict TypeScript**: Enable strict mode in tsconfig.json
  2. **Define Interfaces**: Create clear interface definitions for all data structures
  3. **Avoid `any`**: Use proper types or `unknown` instead of `any`
  4. **Zod for Runtime Validation**: Use Zod schemas to validate external data
  5. **Type Guards**: Create type guard functions for complex type checking
  6. **Error Handling**: Always use try-catch with proper error type checking
  7. **Null Safety**: Use optional chaining (`?.`) and nullish coalescing (`??`)
  
  ```typescript
  // Good: Type-safe with Zod and interfaces
  interface UserResponse {
    id: string;
    name: string;
    email: string;
    team?: string;
    active: boolean;
  }
  
  const UserSchema = z.object({
    id: z.string(),
    name: z.string(),
    email: z.string().email(),
    team: z.string().optional(),
    active: z.boolean()
  });
  
  type User = z.infer<typeof UserSchema>;
  
  async function getUser(id: string): Promise<User> {
    const data = await apiCall(`/users/${id}`);
    return UserSchema.parse(data);  // Runtime validation
  }
  
  // Bad: Using any
  async function getUser(id: string): Promise<any> {
    return await apiCall(`/users/${id}`);  // No type safety
  }
  ```
  
  ## Package Configuration
  
  ### package.json
  
  ```json

  ## Advanced MCP Features
  
  ### Resource Registration
  
  Expose data as resources for efficient, URI-based access:
  
  ```typescript
  import { ResourceTemplate } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js";
  
  // Register a resource with URI template
  server.registerResource(
    {
      uri: "file://documents/{name}",
      name: "Document Resource",
      description: "Access documents by name",
      mimeType: "text/plain"
    },
    async (uri: string) => {
      // Extract parameter from URI
      const match = uri.match(/^file:\/\/documents\/(.+)$/);
      if (!match) {
        throw new Error("Invalid URI format");
      }
  
      const documentName = match[1];
      const content = await loadDocument(documentName);
  
      return {
        contents: [{
          uri,
          mimeType: "text/plain",
          text: content
        }]
      };
    }
  );
  
  // List available resources dynamically
  server.registerResourceList(async () => {
    const documents = await getAvailableDocuments();
    return {
      resources: documents.map(doc => ({
        uri: `file://documents/${doc.name}`,
        name: doc.name,
        mimeType: "text/plain",
        description: doc.description
      }))
    };
  });
  ```
  
  **When to use Resources vs Tools:**
  - **Resources**: For data access with simple URI-based parameters
  - **Tools**: For complex operations requiring validation and business logic
  - **Resources**: When data is relatively static or template-based
  - **Tools**: When operations have side effects or complex workflows
  
  ### Transport Options
  
  The TypeScript SDK supports two main transport mechanisms:
  
  #### Streamable HTTP (Recommended for Remote Servers)
  
  ```typescript
  import { StreamableHTTPServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/streamableHttp.js";
  import express from "express";
  
  const app = express();
  app.use(express.json());
  
  app.post('/mcp', async (req, res) => {
    // Create new transport for each request (stateless, prevents request ID collisions)
    const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({
      sessionIdGenerator: undefined,
      enableJsonResponse: true
    });
  
    res.on('close', () => transport.close());
  
    await server.connect(transport);
    await transport.handleRequest(req, res, req.body);
  });
  
  app.listen(3000);
  ```
  
  #### stdio (For Local Integrations)
  
  ```typescript
  import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
  
  const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
  await server.connect(transport);
  ```
  
  **Transport selection:**
  - **Streamable HTTP**: Web services, remote access, multiple clients
  - **stdio**: Command-line tools, local development, subprocess integration
  
  ### Notification Support
  
  Notify clients when server state changes:
  
  ```typescript
  // Notify when tools list changes
  server.notification({
    method: "notifications/tools/list_changed"
  });
  
  // Notify when resources change
  server.notification({
    method: "notifications/resources/list_changed"
  });
  ```
  
  Use notifications sparingly - only when server capabilities genuinely change.

  ## 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
  
  ## Building and Running
  
  Always build your TypeScript code before running:
  
  ```bash
  # Build the project
  npm run build
  
  # Run the server
  npm start
  
  # Development with auto-reload
  npm run dev
  ```
  
  Always ensure `npm run build` completes successfully before considering the implementation complete.
  
  ## Quality Checklist
  
  Before finalizing your Node/TypeScript 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
  - [ ] Human-readable identifiers used where appropriate
  - [ ] Error messages guide agents toward correct usage
  
  ### Implementation Quality
  - [ ] FOCUSED IMPLEMENTATION: Most important and valuable tools implemented
  - [ ] All tools registered using `registerTool` with complete configuration
  - [ ] All tools include `title`, `description`, `inputSchema`, and `annotations`
  - [ ] Annotations correctly set (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint)
  - [ ] All tools use Zod schemas for runtime input validation with `.strict()` enforcement
  - [ ] All Zod schemas have proper constraints and descriptive error messages
  - [ ] All tools have comprehensive descriptions with explicit input/output types
  - [ ] Descriptions include return value examples and complete schema documentation
  - [ ] Error messages are clear, actionable, and educational
  
  ### TypeScript Quality
  - [ ] TypeScript interfaces are defined for all data structures
  - [ ] Strict TypeScript is enabled in tsconfig.json
  - [ ] No use of `any` type - use `unknown` or proper types instead
  - [ ] All async functions have explicit Promise<T> return types
  - [ ] Error handling uses proper type guards (e.g., `axios.isAxiosError`, `z.ZodError`)
  
  ### Advanced Features (where applicable)
  - [ ] Resources registered for appropriate data endpoints
  - [ ] Appropriate transport configured (stdio or streamable HTTP)
  - [ ] Notifications implemented for dynamic server capabilities
  - [ ] Type-safe with SDK interfaces
  
  ### Project Configuration
  - [ ] Package.json includes all necessary dependencies
  - [ ] Build script produces working JavaScript in dist/ directory
  - [ ] Main entry point is properly configured as dist/index.js
  - [ ] Server name follows format: `{service}-mcp-server`
  - [ ] tsconfig.json properly configured with strict mode
  
  ### Code Quality
  - [ ] Pagination is properly implemented where applicable
  - [ ] Large responses check CHARACTER_LIMIT constant and truncate with clear messages
  - [ ] Filtering options are provided for potentially large result sets
  - [ ] All network operations handle timeouts and connection errors gracefully
  - [ ] Common functionality is extracted into reusable functions
  - [ ] Return types are consistent across similar operations
  
  ### Testing and Build
  - [ ] `npm run build` completes successfully without errors
  - [ ] dist/index.js created and executable
  - [ ] Server runs: `node dist/index.js --help`
  - [ ] All imports resolve correctly
  - [ ] Sample tool calls work as expected

  # Python MCP Server Implementation Guide
  
  ## Overview
  
  This document provides Python-specific best practices and examples for implementing MCP servers using the MCP Python SDK. It covers server setup, tool registration patterns, input validation with Pydantic, error handling, and complete working examples.
  
  ---
  
  ## Quick Reference
  
  ### Key Imports
  ```python
  from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
  from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, field_validator, ConfigDict
  from typing import Optional, List, Dict, Any
  from enum import Enum
  import httpx
  ```
  
  ### Server Initialization
  ```python
  mcp = FastMCP("service_mcp")
  ```
  
  ### Tool Registration Pattern
  ```python
  @mcp.tool(name="tool_name", annotations={...})
  async def tool_function(params: InputModel) -> str:
      # Implementation
      pass
  ```
  
  ---
  
  ## MCP Python SDK and FastMCP
  
  The official MCP Python SDK provides FastMCP, a high-level framework for building MCP servers. It provides:
  - Automatic description and inputSchema generation from function signatures and docstrings
  - Pydantic model integration for input validation
  - Decorator-based tool registration with `@mcp.tool`
  
  **For complete SDK documentation, use WebFetch to load:**
  `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk/main/README.md`
  
  ## Server Naming Convention
  
  Python MCP servers must follow this naming pattern:
  - **Format**: `{service}_mcp` (lowercase with underscores)
  - **Examples**: `github_mcp`, `jira_mcp`, `stripe_mcp`
  
  The name should be:
  - General (not tied to specific features)
  - Descriptive of the service/API being integrated
  - Easy to infer from the task description
  - Without version numbers or dates
  
  ## Tool Implementation
  
  ### Tool Naming
  
  Use snake_case for tool names (e.g., "search_users", "create_project", "get_channel_info") with clear, action-oriented names.
  
  **Avoid Naming Conflicts**: Include the service context to prevent overlaps:
  - Use "slack_send_message" instead of just "send_message"
  - Use "github_create_issue" instead of just "create_issue"
  - Use "asana_list_tasks" instead of just "list_tasks"
  
  ### Tool Structure with FastMCP
  
  Tools are defined using the `@mcp.tool` decorator with Pydantic models for input validation:
  
  ```python
  from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, ConfigDict
  from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
  
  # Initialize the MCP server
  mcp = FastMCP("example_mcp")
  
  # Define Pydantic model for input validation
  class ServiceToolInput(BaseModel):
      '''Input model for service tool operation.'''
      model_config = ConfigDict(
          str_strip_whitespace=True,  # Auto-strip whitespace from strings
          validate_assignment=True,    # Validate on assignment
          extra='forbid'              # Forbid extra fields
      )
  
      param1: str = Field(..., description="First parameter description (e.g., 'user123', 'project-abc')", min_length=1, max_length=100)
      param2: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, description="Optional integer parameter with constraints", ge=0, le=1000)
      tags: Optional[List[str]] = Field(default_factory=list, description="List of tags to apply", max_items=10)
  
  @mcp.tool(
      name="service_tool_name",
      annotations={
          "title": "Human-Readable Tool Title",
          "readOnlyHint": True,     # Tool does not modify environment
          "destructiveHint": False,  # Tool does not perform destructive operations
          "idempotentHint": True,    # Repeated calls have no additional effect
          "openWorldHint": False     # Tool does not interact with external entities
      }
  )
  async def service_tool_name(params: ServiceToolInput) -> str:
      '''Tool description automatically becomes the 'description' field.
  
      This tool performs a specific operation on the service. It validates all inputs
      using the ServiceToolInput Pydantic model before processing.
  
      Args:
          params (ServiceToolInput): Validated input parameters containing:
              - param1 (str): First parameter description
              - param2 (Optional[int]): Optional parameter with default
              - tags (Optional[List[str]]): List of tags
  
      Returns:
          str: JSON-formatted response containing operation results
      '''
      # Implementation here
      pass
  ```
  
  ## Pydantic v2 Key Features
  
  - Use `model_config` instead of nested `Config` class
  - Use `field_validator` instead of deprecated `validator`
  - Use `model_dump()` instead of deprecated `dict()`
  - Validators require `@classmethod` decorator
  - Type hints are required for validator methods
  
  ```python
  from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, field_validator, ConfigDict
  
  class CreateUserInput(BaseModel):
      model_config = ConfigDict(
          str_strip_whitespace=True,
          validate_assignment=True
      )
  
      name: str = Field(..., description="User's full name", min_length=1, max_length=100)
      email: str = Field(..., description="User's email address", pattern=r'^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$')
      age: int = Field(..., description="User's age", ge=0, le=150)
  
      @field_validator('email')
      @classmethod
      def validate_email(cls, v: str) -> str:
          if not v.strip():
              raise ValueError("Email cannot be empty")
          return v.lower()
  ```
  
  ## Response Format Options
  
  Support multiple output formats for flexibility:
  
  ```python
  from enum import Enum
  
  class ResponseFormat(str, Enum):
      '''Output format for tool responses.'''
      MARKDOWN = "markdown"
      JSON = "json"
  
  class UserSearchInput(BaseModel):
      query: str = Field(..., description="Search query")
      response_format: ResponseFormat = Field(
          default=ResponseFormat.MARKDOWN,
          description="Output format: 'markdown' for human-readable or 'json' for machine-readable"
      )
  ```
  
  **Markdown format**:
  - Use headers, lists, and formatting for clarity
  - Convert timestamps to human-readable format (e.g., "2024-01-15 10:30:00 UTC" instead of epoch)
  - Show display names with IDs in parentheses (e.g., "@john.doe (U123456)")
  - Omit verbose metadata (e.g., show only one profile image URL, not all sizes)
  - Group related information logically
  
  **JSON format**:
  - Return complete, structured data suitable for programmatic processing
  - Include all available fields and metadata
  - Use consistent field names and types
  
  ## Pagination Implementation
  
  For tools that list resources:
  
  ```python
  class ListInput(BaseModel):
      limit: Optional[int] = Field(default=20, description="Maximum results to return", ge=1, le=100)
      offset: Optional[int] = Field(default=0, description="Number of results to skip for pagination", ge=0)
  
  async def list_items(params: ListInput) -> str:
      # Make API request with pagination
      data = await api_request(limit=params.limit, offset=params.offset)
  
      # Return pagination info
      response = {
          "total": data["total"],
          "count": len(data["items"]),
          "offset": params.offset,
          "items": data["items"],
          "has_more": data["total"] > params.offset + len(data["items"]),
          "next_offset": params.offset + len(data["items"]) if data["total"] > params.offset + len(data["items"]) else None
      }
      return json.dumps(response, indent=2)
  ```
  
  ## Error Handling
  
  Provide clear, actionable error messages:
  
  ```python
  def _handle_api_error(e: Exception) -> str:
      '''Consistent error formatting across all tools.'''
      if isinstance(e, httpx.HTTPStatusError):
          if e.response.status_code == 404:
              return "Error: Resource not found. Please check the ID is correct."
          elif e.response.status_code == 403:
              return "Error: Permission denied. You don't have access to this resource."
          elif e.response.status_code == 429:
              return "Error: Rate limit exceeded. Please wait before making more requests."
          return f"Error: API request failed with status {e.response.status_code}"
      elif isinstance(e, httpx.TimeoutException):
          return "Error: Request timed out. Please try again."
      return f"Error: Unexpected error occurred: {type(e).__name__}"
  ```
  
  ## Shared Utilities
  
  Extract common functionality into reusable functions:
  
  ```python
  # Shared API request function
  async def _make_api_request(endpoint: str, method: str = "GET", **kwargs) -> dict:
      '''Reusable function for all API calls.'''
      async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
          response = await client.request(
              method,
              f"{API_BASE_URL}/{endpoint}",
              timeout=30.0,
              **kwargs
          )
          response.raise_for_status()
          return response.json()
  ```
  
  ## Async/Await Best Practices
  
  Always use async/await for network requests and I/O operations:
  
  ```python
  # Good: Async network request
  async def fetch_data(resource_id: str) -> dict:
      async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
          response = await client.get(f"{API_URL}/resource/{resource_id}")
          response.raise_for_status()
          return response.json()
  
  # Bad: Synchronous request
  def fetch_data(resource_id: str) -> dict:
      response = requests.get(f"{API_URL}/resource/{resource_id}")  # Blocks
      return response.json()
  ```
  
  ## Type Hints
  
  Use type hints throughout:
  
  ```python
  from typing import Optional, List, Dict, Any
  
  async def get_user(user_id: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      data = await fetch_user(user_id)
      return {"id": data["id"], "name": data["name"]}
  ```
  
  ## Tool Docstrings
  
  Every tool must have comprehensive docstrings with explicit type information:
  
  ```python
  async def search_users(params: UserSearchInput) -> str:
      '''
      Search for users in the Example system by name, email, or team.
  
      This tool searches across all user profiles in the Example platform,
      supporting partial matches and various search filters. It does NOT
      create or modify users, only searches existing ones.
  
      Args:
          params (UserSearchInput): Validated input parameters containing:
              - query (str): Search string to match against names/emails (e.g., "john", "@example.com", "team:marketing")
              - limit (Optional[int]): Maximum results to return, between 1-100 (default: 20)
              - offset (Optional[int]): Number of results to skip for pagination (default: 0)
  
      Returns:
          str: JSON-formatted string containing search results with the following schema:
  
          Success response:
          {
              "total": int,           # Total number of matches found
              "count": int,           # Number of results in this response
              "offset": int,          # Current pagination offset
              "users": [
                  {
                      "id": str,      # User ID (e.g., "U123456789")
                      "name": str,    # Full name (e.g., "John Doe")
                      "email": str,   # Email address (e.g., "john@example.com")
                      "team": str     # Team name (e.g., "Marketing") - optional
                  }
              ]
          }
  
          Error response:
          "Error: <error message>" or "No users found matching '<query>'"
  
      Examples:
          - Use when: "Find all marketing team members" -> params with query="team:marketing"
          - Use when: "Search for John's account" -> params with query="john"
          - Don't use when: You need to create a user (use example_create_user instead)
          - Don't use when: You have a user ID and need full details (use example_get_user instead)
  
      Error Handling:
          - Input validation errors are handled by Pydantic model
          - Returns "Error: Rate limit exceeded" if too many requests (429 status)
          - Returns "Error: Invalid API authentication" if API key is invalid (401 status)
          - Returns formatted list of results or "No users found matching 'query'"
      '''
  ```

  ## Advanced FastMCP Features
  
  ### Context Parameter Injection
  
  FastMCP can automatically inject a `Context` parameter into tools for advanced capabilities like logging, progress reporting, resource reading, and user interaction:
  
  ```python
  from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP, Context
  
  mcp = FastMCP("example_mcp")
  
  @mcp.tool()
  async def advanced_search(query: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
      '''Advanced tool with context access for logging and progress.'''
  
      # Report progress for long operations
      await ctx.report_progress(0.25, "Starting search...")
  
      # Log information for debugging
      await ctx.log_info("Processing query", {"query": query, "timestamp": datetime.now()})
  
      # Perform search
      results = await search_api(query)
      await ctx.report_progress(0.75, "Formatting results...")
  
      # Access server configuration
      server_name = ctx.fastmcp.name
  
      return format_results(results)
  
  @mcp.tool()
  async def interactive_tool(resource_id: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
      '''Tool that can request additional input from users.'''
  
      # Request sensitive information when needed
      api_key = await ctx.elicit(
          prompt="Please provide your API key:",
          input_type="password"
      )
  
      # Use the provided key
      return await api_call(resource_id, api_key)
  ```
  
  **Context capabilities:**
  - `ctx.report_progress(progress, message)` - Report progress for long operations
  - `ctx.log_info(message, data)` / `ctx.log_error()` / `ctx.log_debug()` - Logging
  - `ctx.elicit(prompt, input_type)` - Request input from users
  - `ctx.fastmcp.name` - Access server configuration
  - `ctx.read_resource(uri)` - Read MCP resources
  
  ### Resource Registration
  
  Expose data as resources for efficient, template-based access:
  
  ```python
  @mcp.resource("file://documents/{name}")
  async def get_document(name: str) -> str:
      '''Expose documents as MCP resources.
  
      Resources are useful for static or semi-static data that doesn't
      require complex parameters. They use URI templates for flexible access.
      '''
      document_path = f"./docs/{name}"
      with open(document_path, "r") as f:
          return f.read()
  
  @mcp.resource("config://settings/{key}")
  async def get_setting(key: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
      '''Expose configuration as resources with context.'''
      settings = await load_settings()
      return json.dumps(settings.get(key, {}))
  ```
  
  **When to use Resources vs Tools:**
  - **Resources**: For data access with simple parameters (URI templates)
  - **Tools**: For complex operations with validation and business logic
  
  ### Structured Output Types
  
  FastMCP supports multiple return types beyond strings:
  
  ```python
  from typing import TypedDict
  from dataclasses import dataclass
  from pydantic import BaseModel
  
  # TypedDict for structured returns
  class UserData(TypedDict):
      id: str
      name: str
      email: str
  
  @mcp.tool()
  async def get_user_typed(user_id: str) -> UserData:
      '''Returns structured data - FastMCP handles serialization.'''
      return {"id": user_id, "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com"}
  
  # Pydantic models for complex validation
  class DetailedUser(BaseModel):
      id: str
      name: str
      email: str
      created_at: datetime
      metadata: Dict[str, Any]
  
  @mcp.tool()
  async def get_user_detailed(user_id: str) -> DetailedUser:
      '''Returns Pydantic model - automatically generates schema.'''
      user = await fetch_user(user_id)
      return DetailedUser(**user)
  ```
  
  ### Lifespan Management
  
  Initialize resources that persist across requests:
  
  ```python
  from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
  
  @asynccontextmanager
  async def app_lifespan():
      '''Manage resources that live for the server's lifetime.'''
      # Initialize connections, load config, etc.
      db = await connect_to_database()
      config = load_configuration()
  
      # Make available to all tools
      yield {"db": db, "config": config}
  
      # Cleanup on shutdown
      await db.close()
  
  mcp = FastMCP("example_mcp", lifespan=app_lifespan)
  
  @mcp.tool()
  async def query_data(query: str, ctx: Context) -> str:
      '''Access lifespan resources through context.'''
      db = ctx.request_context.lifespan_state["db"]
      results = await db.query(query)
      return format_results(results)
  ```
  
  ### Transport Options
  
  FastMCP supports two main transport mechanisms:
  
  ```python
  # stdio transport (for local tools) - default
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      mcp.run()
  
  # Streamable HTTP transport (for remote servers)
  if __name__ == "__main__":
      mcp.run(transport="streamable_http", port=8000)
  ```
  
  **Transport selection:**
  - **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

  # Skill Creator
  
  This skill provides guidance for creating effective skills.
  
  ## About Skills
  
  Skills are modular, self-contained packages that extend Claude's capabilities by providing
  specialized knowledge, workflows, and tools. Think of them as "onboarding guides" for specific
  domains or tasks—they transform Claude from a general-purpose agent into a specialized agent
  equipped with procedural knowledge that no model can fully possess.
  
  ### What Skills Provide
  
  1. Specialized workflows - Multi-step procedures for specific domains
  2. Tool integrations - Instructions for working with specific file formats or APIs
  3. Domain expertise - Company-specific knowledge, schemas, business logic
  4. Bundled resources - Scripts, references, and assets for complex and repetitive tasks
  
  ## Core Principles
  
  ### Concise is Key
  
  The context window is a public good. Skills share the context window with everything else Claude needs: system prompt, conversation history, other Skills' metadata, and the actual user request.
  
  **Default assumption: Claude is already very smart.** Only add context Claude doesn't already have. Challenge each piece of information: "Does Claude really need this explanation?" and "Does this paragraph justify its token cost?"
  
  Prefer concise examples over verbose explanations.
  
  ### Set Appropriate Degrees of Freedom
  
  Match the level of specificity to the task's fragility and variability:
  
  **High freedom (text-based instructions)**: Use when multiple approaches are valid, decisions depend on context, or heuristics guide the approach.
  
  **Medium freedom (pseudocode or scripts with parameters)**: Use when a preferred pattern exists, some variation is acceptable, or configuration affects behavior.
  
  **Low freedom (specific scripts, few parameters)**: Use when operations are fragile and error-prone, consistency is critical, or a specific sequence must be followed.
  
  Think of Claude as exploring a path: a narrow bridge with cliffs needs specific guardrails (low freedom), while an open field allows many routes (high freedom).
  
  ### Anatomy of a Skill
  
  Every skill consists of a required SKILL.md file and optional bundled resources:

  #### SKILL.md (required)
  
  Every SKILL.md consists of:
  
  - **Frontmatter** (YAML): Contains `name` and `description` fields. These are the only fields that Claude reads to determine when the skill gets used, thus it is very important to be clear and comprehensive in describing what the skill is, and when it should be used.
  - **Body** (Markdown): Instructions and guidance for using the skill. Only loaded AFTER the skill triggers (if at all).
  
  #### Bundled Resources (optional)
  
  ##### Scripts (`scripts/`)
  
  Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.) for tasks that require deterministic reliability or are repeatedly rewritten.
  
  - **When to include**: When the same code is being rewritten repeatedly or deterministic reliability is needed
  - **Example**: `scripts/rotate_pdf.py` for PDF rotation tasks
  - **Benefits**: Token efficient, deterministic, may be executed without loading into context
  - **Note**: Scripts may still need to be read by Claude for patching or environment-specific adjustments
  
  ##### References (`references/`)
  
  Documentation and reference material intended to be loaded as needed into context to inform Claude's process and thinking.
  
  - **When to include**: For documentation that Claude should reference while working
  - **Examples**: `references/finance.md` for financial schemas, `references/mnda.md` for company NDA template, `references/policies.md` for company policies, `references/api_docs.md` for API specifications
  - **Use cases**: Database schemas, API documentation, domain knowledge, company policies, detailed workflow guides
  - **Benefits**: Keeps SKILL.md lean, loaded only when Claude determines it's needed
  - **Best practice**: If files are large (>10k words), include grep search patterns in SKILL.md
  - **Avoid duplication**: Information should live in either SKILL.md or references files, not both.
  
  ##### Assets (`assets/`)
  
  Files not intended to be loaded into context, but rather used within the output Claude produces.
  
  - **When to include**: When the skill needs files that will be used in the final output
  - **Examples**: `assets/logo.png` for brand assets, `assets/slides.pptx` for PowerPoint templates
  - **Use cases**: Templates, images, icons, boilerplate code, fonts, sample documents
  
  ### Progressive Disclosure Design Principle
  
  Skills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:
  
  1. **Metadata (name + description)** - Always in context (~100 words)
  2. **SKILL.md body** - When skill triggers (<5k words)
  3. **Bundled resources** - As needed by Claude
  
  Keep SKILL.md body to the essentials and under 500 lines to minimize context bloat.
  
  ## Skill Creation Process
  
  Skill creation involves these steps:
  
  1. Understand the skill with concrete examples
  2. Plan reusable skill contents (scripts, references, assets)
  3. Initialize the skill (run init_skill.py)
  4. Edit the skill (implement resources and write SKILL.md)
  5. Package the skill (run package_skill.py)
  6. Iterate based on real usage
  
  ### Step 3: Initializing the Skill
  
  When creating a new skill from scratch, always run the `init_skill.py` script:
  
  ```bash
  scripts/init_skill.py <skill-name> --path <output-directory>
  ```
  
  ### Step 4: Edit the Skill
  
  Consult these helpful guides based on your skill's needs:
  
  - **Multi-step processes**: See references/workflows.md for sequential workflows and conditional logic
  - **Specific output formats or quality standards**: See references/output-patterns.md for template and example patterns
  
  ### Step 5: Packaging a Skill
  
  ```bash
  scripts/package_skill.py <path/to/skill-folder>
  ```
  
  The packaging script validates and creates a .skill file for distribution.
  FILE:references/workflows.md
  # Workflow Patterns
  
  ## Sequential Workflows
  
  For complex tasks, break operations into clear, sequential steps. It is often helpful to give Claude an overview of the process towards the beginning of SKILL.md:
  
  ```markdown
  Filling a PDF form involves these steps:
  
  1. Analyze the form (run analyze_form.py)
  2. Create field mapping (edit fields.json)
  3. Validate mapping (run validate_fields.py)
  4. Fill the form (run fill_form.py)
  5. Verify output (run verify_output.py)
  ```
  
  ## Conditional Workflows
  
  For tasks with branching logic, guide Claude through decision points:
  
  ```markdown
  1. Determine the modification type:
     **Creating new content?** → Follow "Creation workflow" below
     **Editing existing content?** → Follow "Editing workflow" below
  
  2. Creation workflow: [steps]
  3. Editing workflow: [steps]
  ```
  FILE:references/output-patterns.md
  # Output Patterns
  
  Use these patterns when skills need to produce consistent, high-quality output.
  
  ## Template Pattern
  
  Provide templates for output format. Match the level of strictness to your needs.
  
  **For strict requirements (like API responses or data formats):**
  
  ```markdown
  ## Report structure
  
  ALWAYS use this exact template structure:
  
  # [Analysis Title]
  
  ## Executive summary
  [One-paragraph overview of key findings]
  
  ## Key findings
  - Finding 1 with supporting data
  - Finding 2 with supporting data
  - Finding 3 with supporting data
  
  ## Recommendations
  1. Specific actionable recommendation
  2. Specific actionable recommendation
  ```
  
  **For flexible guidance (when adaptation is useful):**
  
  ```markdown
  ## Report structure
  
  Here is a sensible default format, but use your best judgment:
  
  # [Analysis Title]
  
  ## Executive summary
  [Overview]
  
  ## Key findings
  [Adapt sections based on what you discover]
  
  ## Recommendations
  [Tailor to the specific context]
  
  Adjust sections as needed for the specific analysis type.
  ```
  
  ## Examples Pattern
  
  For skills where output quality depends on seeing examples, provide input/output pairs:
  
  ```markdown
  ## Commit message format
  
  Generate commit messages following these examples:
  
  **Example 1:**
  Input: Added user authentication with JWT tokens
  Output:
  ```
  feat(auth): implement JWT-based authentication
  
  Add login endpoint and token validation middleware
  ```
  
  **Example 2:**
  Input: Fixed bug where dates displayed incorrectly in reports
  Output:
  ```
  fix(reports): correct date formatting in timezone conversion
  
  Use UTC timestamps consistently across report generation
  ```
  
  Follow this style: type(scope): brief description, then detailed explanation.
  ```
  
  Examples help Claude understand the desired style and level of detail more clearly than descriptions alone.
