floss-mcp

name	floss-mcp
description	Use when a task needs FLOSS through the local `runFloss` or `flossHelp` MCP tools, especially when forming a valid FLOSS command string, choosing flags, or handling quoted paths.

FLOSS MCP

Use this skill when working with the local runFloss(...) wrapper.

Workflow

1. Call flossHelp() before building a new command string.
2. Reuse the exact validated sample path verbatim.
3. Wrap paths with spaces in double quotes.
4. Prefer -- before the target path.
5. Pass the complete FLOSS command as one string.

Tool Surface

• runFloss(command, timeout_sec=300)
• flossHelp(timeout_sec=5)

Command Rules

• argv[0] must be floss or floss.exe.
• Do not use placeholder/example paths.
• Prefer JSON output when machine-readable recovered strings or metadata are needed.
• The wrapper strips FLOSS progress-bar noise, so focus on the meaningful output.

Example

runFloss(
  command='floss --json -- "C:\\Samples\\example.exe"'
)

Avoid

• Split, unquoted paths with spaces.
• Running FLOSS before checking flossHelp() when you are unsure about flags.
• Treating placeholder paths as real targets.
