A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Use this skill when the task is to configure the CodeScene MCP Server after it has been installed. The MCP server exposes get_config and set_config tools that let the AI assistant read and write configuration on the user's behalf. This is the easiest and recommended configuration method.

Environment variables set by the MCP client always override values in the config file. If the user has set a value via an environment variable in their editor config, set_config will warn that the env var takes precedence and the stored value will not be used until the env var is removed.
