Use CodeWords safely with AI

Works with your CodeWords services, workflow runs and secrets, sorting each request into read, build or execute before acting. It asks for your explicit yes before anything is changed, deployed or run.

Use it when

You want to check which CodeWords services exist on your account before doing anything
You need to know whether a request will change a live service or only read it
You want help with a CodeWords service, workflow run or secret without anything happening unexpectedly

Tools it uses

list_user_services
view_service_code
list_service_implementations
get_workflow_requests
get_workflow_logs
get_workflow_output
list_user_secrets
get_user_secret
consult_docs
search_templates
edit_service
validate_service
deploy_service
run_code
run_workflow
cancel_workflow
set_active_implementation
set_user_secret
delete_user_secret
todo_write

Example

Which of my CodeWords services handle invoices, and is anything running right now?

I found 3 services on your account that mention invoices. One of them, invoice-sync, has a workflow run in progress. I have not changed or stopped it. If you want it cancelled or rerun, tell me and I will show the exact action first and wait for your yes.

Build and deploy a CodeWords service

Turns a described automation into a working CodeWords service by adapting a template where one fits, editing and validating the code, then deploying only after you approve. It asks before anything goes live.

Use it when

You want an automation that runs on a schedule and writes results to a sheet
You need to adapt an existing CodeWords template to your own systems
You want to change a deployed service and redeploy it safely

Tools it uses

list_user_secrets
search_templates
consult_docs
view_service_code
edit_service
validate_service
run_code
run_workflow
get_workflow_output
get_workflow_logs
deploy_service
set_active_implementation
get_workflow_requests

Example

Build me a CodeWords service that checks our support inbox every morning and posts a summary of unanswered tickets to our team channel.

I found a close template for a scheduled summary and adapted it to your inbox and channel. Validation passed after fixing one missing input. I ran a test on a sample set of tickets and the output lists 6 unanswered tickets with their ages. I have not deployed yet. The service reads one secret, the inbox token, by name only. Shall I deploy it to run every morning at 8?

Debug a failed CodeWords workflow run

Finds the step that actually failed in a CodeWords workflow run, separating it from the trigger that started it. It recommends whether to rerun, fix first or cancel, and asks before rerunning or cancelling anything.

Use it when

A workflow run failed and you need to know which step broke
A run is stuck or has been running far longer than usual
A workflow completed but produced empty or incomplete output

Tools it uses

get_workflow_requests
get_workflow_logs
get_workflow_output
list_user_secrets
get_user_secret
view_service_code
consult_docs
edit_service
validate_service
cancel_workflow

Example

My invoice workflow failed last night. Why, and should I rerun it?

The run failed at the 'fetch customer record' step, which came right after 'parse CSV' completed. The parser passed 3 rows with an empty customer ID, and the lookup timed out on them. The trigger was fine. Rerunning with the same file will fail the same way, so I recommend fixing the empty-ID handling first. I haven't rerun or cancelled anything; tell me if you want the fix drafted.

Manage CodeWords service implementations with AI

Compares a service's implementations and checks the secrets they need, then switches the live version only after you approve it. It records the previous version so you can roll back.

Use it when

You want to roll back a service to an earlier version
You need to see which implementation is live before changing anything
You are checking that a new version has the secrets it needs

Tools it uses

list_user_services
list_service_implementations
view_service_code
list_user_secrets
get_user_secret
set_user_secret
set_active_implementation
run_workflow
delete_user_secret

Example

Switch my invoice-sync service back to the version from before yesterday's change, but first check it has the secrets it needs.

Your invoice-sync service has 4 implementations and version 3 is currently active. The version you want, version 2, reads one secret, STRIPE_KEY, which is present. I have not switched yet. Switch invoice-sync from version 3 to version 2? This changes what runs for new requests.

Audit your CodeWords secrets with AI

Compares the secrets stored in your CodeWords account with the services that use them, flagging missing, duplicate and unused credentials. It proposes cleanup and waits for your approval before deleting or changing anything.

Use it when

Before rotating keys, to see which services depend on each secret
After several services were built, to find leftover or duplicate credentials
When a service fails with a missing credential and you want to check the whole account

Tools it uses

list_user_services
list_user_secrets
get_user_secret
view_service_code
list_service_implementations
delete_user_secret
set_user_secret

Example

Audit my CodeWords secrets and tell me which ones I can safely delete.

I checked 14 secrets against 9 services. 2 services reference a secret that isn't stored: STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET in billing-sync. 3 secrets look like duplicate OpenAI keys. Nothing is deleted yet. Tell me which of the 4 candidates to remove and I'll do only those.

How CodeWords skills work

Connect CodeWords
The CodeWords MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Build me a CodeWords service that checks our support inbox every morning and posts a summary of unanswered tickets to our team channel.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install CodeWords skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect CodeWords. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the CodeWords MCP server connected there.

CodeWords skills FAQ

What is a CodeWords agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each CodeWords skill describes one job, which CodeWords tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the CodeWords skills change anything on their own?

The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in CodeWords.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect CodeWords; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the CodeWords MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the CodeWords MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The CodeWords MCP setup guide covers every client.
