CD remote-mcp

Publish the user's own gbrain over MCP so other devices, desktop apps and cloud agents can reach it. `gbrain mcp expose` installs and signs in Tailscale, publishes the running `gbrain serve --http` on the tailnet (HTTPS, tailnet-only by default; Funnel only when a client lives in a vendor cloud), keeps the server alive as a user service, and hands back the MCP URL. Then register one least-privilege client per consumer, choose native OAuth/PKCE or a private machine handoff for that client, and verify the connection inside the intended harness.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
  2. The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 45/100

Will not run. References files that are not bundled: ../setup/SKILL.md, ../postgres-adopt/SKILL.md, ../mcp-access/SKILL.md
  • 0Tools and files. 4 referenced file(s) missing: ../setup/SKILL.md, ../postgres-adopt/SKILL.md, ../mcp-access/SKILL.md
  • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
  • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 30Running it twice. 49 mutating operations with no state check
  • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
  • 60Failures and branches. 2 branches
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 7102 tokens
  • 85Steps. 29 steps, 1 vague phrases
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low 11 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill
  • low The response is described with custom markup (11 tags): a typed call is more reliable

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
