# Agent Skill 五种设计模式
说到 `SKILL.md`,开发者往往执着于格式问题——把 YAML 写对、组织好目录结构、遵循规范。但随着超过 30 种 Agent 工具(如 Claude Code、Gemini CLI、Cursor)都在向同一套目录结构靠拢,格式问题已基本成为历史。
现在真正的挑战是**内容设计**。规范告诉你如何打包一个 Skill,却对如何组织其中的逻辑毫无指导。举个例子:一个封装 FastAPI 规范的 Skill,和一个四步文档生成流水线,从外部看 `SKILL.md` 文件几乎一模一样,但它们的运作方式截然不同。
通过研究整个生态系统中 Skill 的构建方式——从 Anthropic 的代码库到 Vercel 和 Google 的内部指南——我们总结出了五种反复出现的设计模式,帮助开发者构建更可靠的 Agent。
本文将结合可运行的 ADK 代码,逐一介绍每种模式:
- **工具封装(Tool Wrapper)**:让你的 Agent 瞬间成为任意库的专家
- **生成器(Generator)**:从可复用模板生成结构化文档
- **审查器(Reviewer)**:按严重程度对照清单评审代码
- **反转(Inversion)**:Agent 先采访你,再开始行动
- **流水线(Pipeline)**:强制执行带检查点的严格多步骤工作流

## 模式一:工具封装(Tool Wrapper)
工具封装让你的 Agent 能够按需获取特定库的上下文。与其把 API 规范硬编码进系统提示,不如将它们打包成一个 Skill。Agent 只在真正需要使用该技术时才加载这些上下文。

这是最简单的实现模式。`SKILL.md` 文件监听用户提示中的特定库关键词,从 `references/` 目录动态加载内部文档,并将这些规则作为绝对准则应用。这正是你向团队开发者工作流中分发内部编码规范或特定框架最佳实践的机制。
下面是一个工具封装示例,教 Agent 如何编写 FastAPI 代码。注意指令明确告诉 Agent 只在开始审查或编写代码时才加载 `conventions.md`:
```text
# skills/api-expert/SKILL.md
---
name: api-expert
description: FastAPI 开发最佳实践与规范。在构建、审查或调试 FastAPI 应用、REST API 或 Pydantic 模型时使用。
metadata:
pattern: tool-wrapper
domain: fastapi
---
你是 FastAPI 开发专家。将以下规范应用于用户的代码或问题。
## 核心规范
加载 'references/conventions.md' 获取完整的 FastAPI 最佳实践列表。
## 审查代码时
1. 加载规范参考文件
2. 对照每条规范检查用户代码
3. 对于每处违规,引用具体规则并给出修复建议
## 编写代码时
1. 加载规范参考文件
2. 严格遵循每条规范
3. 为所有函数签名添加类型注解
4. 使用 Annotated 风格进行依赖注入
```
## 模式二:生成器(Generator)
工具封装负责应用知识,而生成器负责强制输出一致性。如果你苦恼于 Agent 每次生成的文档结构都不一样,生成器通过编排"填空"流程来解决这个问题。

它利用两个可选目录:`assets/` 存放输出模板,`references/` 存放风格指南。指令充当项目经理的角色,告诉 Agent 加载模板、读取风格指南、向用户询问缺失的变量,然后填充文档。这对于生成可预期的 API 文档、标准化提交信息或搭建项目架构非常实用。
在这个技术报告生成器示例中,Skill 文件本身不包含实际的布局或语法规则,它只是协调这些资源的检索,并强制 Agent 逐步执行:
```text
# skills/report-generator/SKILL.md
---
name: report-generator
description: 生成 Markdown 格式的结构化技术报告。当用户要求撰写、创建或起草报告、摘要或分析文档时使用。
metadata:
pattern: generator
output-format: markdown
---
你是一个技术报告生成器。严格按照以下步骤执行:
第一步:加载 'references/style-guide.md' 获取语气和格式规则。
第二步:加载 'assets/report-template.md' 获取所需的输出结构。
第三步:向用户询问填充模板所需的缺失信息:
- 主题或议题
- 关键发现或数据点
- 目标受众(技术人员、管理层、普通读者)
第四步:按照风格指南规则填充模板。模板中的每个章节都必须出现在输出中。
第五步:以单个 Markdown 文档的形式返回完成的报告。
```
## 模式三:审查器(Reviewer)
审查器模式将"检查什么"与"如何检查"分离开来。与其在系统提示中罗列每一种代码坏味道,不如将模块化的评审标准存储在 `references/review-checklist.md` 文件中。

当用户提交代码时,Agent 加载这份清单并系统地对提交内容评分,按严重程度分组整理发现的问题。如果你把 Python 风格清单换成 OWASP 安全清单,使用完全相同的 Skill 基础设施,就能得到一个完全不同的专项审计工具。这是自动化 PR 审查或在人工审查前捕获漏洞的高效方式。
下面的代码审查器 Skill 展示了这种分离。指令保持静态,但 Agent 从外部清单动态加载具体的审查标准,并强制输出结构化的、按严重程度分级的结果:
```text
# skills/code-reviewer/SKILL.md
---
name: code-reviewer
description: 审查 Python 代码的质量、风格和常见 Bug。当用户提交代码请求审查、寻求代码反馈或需要代码审计时使用。
metadata:
pattern: reviewer
severity-levels: error,warning,info
---
你是一名 Python 代码审查员。严格遵循以下审查流程:
第一步:加载 'references/review-checklist.md' 获取完整的审查标准。
第二步:仔细阅读用户的代码。在批评之前先理解其目的。
第三步:将清单中的每条规则应用于代码。对于发现的每处违规:
- 记录行号(或大致位置)
- 分类严重程度:error(必须修复)、warning(应该修复)、info(建议考虑)
- 解释为什么这是问题,而不仅仅是说明是什么问题
- 给出包含修正代码的具体修复建议
第四步:生成包含以下章节的结构化审查报告:
- **摘要**:代码的功能描述,整体质量评估
- **发现**:按严重程度分组(先列 error,再列 warning,最后列 info)
- **评分**:1-10 分,附简短说明
- **三大建议**:最具影响力的改进措施
```
## 模式四:反转(Inversion)
Agent 天生倾向于立即猜测并生成内容。反转模式颠覆了这一动态。不再是用户驱动提示、Agent 执行,而是让 Agent 扮演采访者的角色。

反转依赖明确的、不可绕过的门控指令(如"在所有阶段完成之前不得开始构建"),强制 Agent 先收集上下文。它按顺序提出结构化问题,等待你的回答后再进入下一阶段。在获得完整的需求和部署约束全貌之前,Agent 拒绝综合最终输出。
来看这个项目规划器 Skill。关键要素是严格的阶段划分,以及明确阻止 Agent 在收集完所有用户回答之前综合最终计划的门控提示:
```text
# skills/project-planner/SKILL.md
---
name: project-planner
description: 通过结构化提问收集需求,然后生成计划,从而规划新软件项目。当用户说"我想构建"、"帮我规划"、"设计一个系统"或"启动新项目"时使用。
metadata:
pattern: inversion
interaction: multi-turn
---
你正在进行一次结构化需求访谈。在所有阶段完成之前,不得开始构建或设计。
## 第一阶段——问题发现(每次只问一个问题,等待每个回答)
按顺序提问,不得跳过任何问题。
- Q1:"这个项目为用户解决什么问题?"
- Q2:"主要用户是谁?他们的技术水平如何?"
- Q3:"预期规模是多少?(每日用户数、数据量、请求频率)"
## 第二阶段——技术约束(仅在第一阶段完全回答后进行)
- Q4:"你将使用什么部署环境?"
- Q5:"你有技术栈要求或偏好吗?"
- Q6:"有哪些不可妥协的要求?(延迟、可用性、合规性、预算)"
## 第三阶段——综合(仅在所有问题都回答后进行)
1. 加载 'assets/plan-template.md' 获取输出格式
2. 使用收集到的需求填充模板的每个章节
3. 向用户呈现完成的计划
4. 询问:"这份计划是否准确反映了你的需求?你想修改什么?"
5. 根据反馈迭代,直到用户确认
```
## 模式五:流水线(Pipeline)
对于复杂任务,你无法承受步骤被跳过或指令被忽视的代价。流水线模式强制执行带有硬性检查点的严格顺序工作流。

指令本身就是工作流定义。通过实现明确的菱形门控条件(例如要求用户在从文档字符串生成阶段进入最终组装阶段之前给予确认),流水线确保 Agent 不能绕过复杂任务直接呈现未经验证的最终结果。
这种模式充分利用所有可选目录,只在特定步骤需要时才引入不同的参考文件和模板,保持上下文窗口的整洁。
在这个文档生成流水线示例中,注意明确的门控条件——Agent 被明确禁止在用户确认上一步生成的文档字符串之前进入组装阶段:
```text
# skills/doc-pipeline/SKILL.md
---
name: doc-pipeline
description: 通过多步骤流水线从 Python 源代码生成 API 文档。当用户要求为模块编写文档、生成 API 文档或从代码创建文档时使用。
metadata:
pattern: pipeline
steps: "4"
---
你正在运行一个文档生成流水线。按顺序执行每个步骤。不得跳过步骤,步骤失败时不得继续。
## 第一步——解析与清点
分析用户的 Python 代码,提取所有公开的类、函数和常量。以清单形式呈现清点结果。询问:"这是你想要文档化的完整公开 API 吗?"
## 第二步——生成文档字符串
对于每个缺少文档字符串的函数:
- 加载 'references/docstring-style.md' 获取所需格式
- 严格按照风格指南生成文档字符串
- 逐一呈现生成的文档字符串供用户确认
在用户确认之前,不得进入第三步。
## 第三步——组装文档
加载 'assets/api-doc-template.md' 获取输出结构。将所有类、函数和文档字符串编译成单一的 API 参考文档。
## 第四步——质量检查
对照 'references/quality-checklist.md' 进行审查:
- 每个公开符号都已文档化
- 每个参数都有类型和描述
- 每个函数至少有一个使用示例
报告结果。在呈现最终文档之前修复所有问题。
```
## 如何选择合适的模式
每种模式回答的是不同的问题。用这棵决策树找到适合你场景的模式:

| 你的问题 | 推荐模式 |
| ------------------------------------- | -------- |
| 如何让 Agent 掌握特定库或框架的知识? | 工具封装 |
| 如何确保每次输出的文档结构一致? | 生成器 |
| 如何自动化代码审查或安全审计? | 审查器 |
| 如何防止 Agent 在需求不明确时乱猜? | 反转 |
| 如何确保复杂任务的每个步骤都被执行? | 流水线 |
## 模式可以组合使用
这五种模式并不互斥,它们可以组合。
流水线 Skill 可以在末尾加入一个审查器步骤来自我检验。生成器可以在开头借助反转模式收集必要的变量,再填充模板。得益于 ADK 的 `SkillToolset` 和递进式披露机制,你的 Agent 在运行时只会为真正需要的模式消耗上下文 token。
不要再试图把复杂而脆弱的指令塞进单个系统提示。拆解你的工作流,应用正确的结构模式,构建更可靠的 Agent。
## 立即开始
Agent Skills 规范是开源的,并在 ADK 中原生支持。你已经知道如何打包格式,现在你也知道如何设计内容了。用 [Google Agent Development Kit](https://google.github.io/adk-docs/) 构建更智能的 Agent 吧。

# Claude Code Skills 实战经验
Skills 已经成为 Claude Code 中使用最广泛的扩展点(extension points)之一。它们灵活、容易制作,分发起来也很简单。
但也正因为太灵活,你很难知道怎样用才最好。什么类型的 Skills 值得做?写出好 Skill 的秘诀是什么?什么时候该把它们分享给别人?
我们在 Anthropic 内部大量使用 Claude Code 的 Skills(技能扩展),目前活跃使用的已经有几百个。以下就是我们在用 Skills 加速开发过程中总结出的经验。
## 什么是 Skills?
如果你还不了解 Skills,建议先看看[我们的文档](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills)或最新的 [Skilljar 上关于 Agent Skills 的课程](https://anthropic.skilljar.com/introduction-to-agent-skills),本文假设你已经对 Skills 有了基本的了解。
我们经常听到一个误解,认为 Skills"只不过是 markdown 文件"。但 Skills 最有意思的地方恰恰在于它们不只是文本文件——它们是文件夹,可以包含脚本、资源文件、数据等等,智能体可以发现、探索和使用这些内容。
在 Claude Code 中,Skills 还拥有[丰富的配置选项](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills#frontmatter-reference),包括注册动态钩子(hooks)。
我们发现,Claude Code 中最有意思的那些 Skills,往往就是创造性地利用了这些配置选项和文件夹结构。
在梳理了我们所有的 Skills 之后,我们注意到它们大致可以归为几个反复出现的类别。最好的 Skills 清晰地落在某一个类别里;让人困惑的 Skills 往往横跨了好几个。这不是一份终极清单,但如果你想检查团队里是否还缺了什么类型的 Skills,这是一个很好的思路。
## 九种 Skill 类型

### 1. 库与 API 参考
帮助你正确使用某个库、命令行工具或 SDK 的 Skills。它们既可以针对内部库,也可以针对 Claude Code 偶尔会犯错的常用库。这类 Skills 通常会包含一个参考代码片段的文件夹,以及一份 Claude 在写代码时需要避免的踩坑点(gotchas)列表。
示例:
- `billing-lib` — 你的内部计费库:边界情况、容易踩的坑(footguns)等
- `internal-platform-cli` — 内部 CLI 工具的每个子命令及其使用场景示例
- `frontend-design` — 让 Claude 更好地理解你的设计系统
### 2. 产品验证
描述如何测试或验证代码是否正常工作的 Skills。通常会搭配 Playwright、tmux 等外部工具来完成验证。
验证类 Skills 对于确保 Claude 输出的正确性非常有用。值得安排一个工程师花上一周时间专门打磨你的验证 Skills。
可以考虑一些技巧,比如让 Claude 录制输出过程的视频,这样你就能看到它到底测试了什么;或者在每一步强制执行程序化的状态断言。这些通常通过在 Skill 中包含各种脚本来实现。
示例:
- `signup-flow-driver` — 在无头浏览器中跑完注册→邮件验证→引导流程,每一步都可以插入状态断言的钩子
- `checkout-verifier` — 用 Stripe 测试卡驱动结账 UI,验证发票最终是否到了正确的状态
- `tmux-cli-driver` — 针对需要 TTY 的交互式命令行测试
### 3. 数据获取与分析
连接你的数据和监控体系的 Skills。这类 Skills 可能会包含带有凭证的数据获取库、特定的仪表盘 ID 等,以及常用工作流和数据获取方式的说明。
示例:
- `funnel-query` — "要看注册→激活→付费的转化,需要关联哪些事件?",再加上真正存放规范 user_id 的那张表
- `cohort-compare` — 对比两个用户群的留存或转化率,标记统计显著的差异,链接到分群定义
- `grafana` — 数据源 UID、集群名称、问题→仪表盘对照表
### 4. 业务流程与团队自动化
把重复性工作流自动化为一条命令的 Skills。这类 Skills 通常指令比较简单,但可能会依赖其他 Skills 或 MCP(Model Context Protocol,模型上下文协议)。对于这类 Skills,把之前的执行结果保存在日志文件中,有助于模型保持一致性并反思之前的执行情况。
示例:
- `standup-post` — 汇总你的任务追踪器、GitHub 活动和之前的 Slack 消息→生成格式化的站会汇报,只报变化部分(delta-only)
- `create--ticket` — 强制执行 schema(合法的枚举值、必填字段)加上创建后的工作流(通知审查者、在 Slack 中发链接)
- `weekly-recap` — 已合并的 PR + 已关闭的工单 + 部署记录→格式化的周报
### 5. 代码脚手架与模板
为代码库中的特定功能生成框架样板代码(boilerplate)的 Skills。你可以把这些 Skills 和脚本组合使用。当你的脚手架(scaffolding)有自然语言需求、无法纯靠代码覆盖时,这类 Skills 特别有用。
示例:
- `new--workflow` — 用你的注解搭建新的服务/工作流/处理器
- `new-migration` — 你的数据库迁移文件模板加上常见踩坑点
- `create-app` — 新建内部应用,预配好你的认证、日志和部署配置
### 6. 代码质量与审查
在团队内部执行代码质量标准并辅助代码审查的 Skills。可以包含确定性的脚本或工具来保证最大的可靠性。你可能希望把这些 Skills 作为钩子的一部分自动运行,或者放在 GitHub Action 中执行。
示例:
- `adversarial-review` — 生成一个全新视角的子智能体来挑刺,实施修复,反复迭代直到发现的问题退化为吹毛求疵。子智能体(subagent)是指 Claude Code 在执行任务时启动的另一个独立 Claude 实例。这里的做法是让一个"没见过这段代码"的新实例来做代码审查,避免原实例的思维惯性。
- `code-style` — 强制执行代码风格,特别是那些 Claude 默认做不好的风格
- `testing-practices` — 关于如何写测试以及测试什么的指导
### 7. CI/CD 与部署
帮你拉取、推送和部署代码的 Skills。这类 Skills 可能会引用其他 Skills 来收集数据。
示例:
- `babysit-pr` — 监控一个 PR→重试不稳定的 CI→解决合并冲突→启用自动合并
- `deploy-` — 构建→冒烟测试→渐进式流量切换并对比错误率→指标恶化时自动回滚
- `cherry-pick-prod` — 隔离的工作树(worktree)→cherry-pick→解决冲突→用模板创建 PR
### 8. 运维手册
接收一个现象(比如一条 Slack 消息、一条告警或者一个错误特征),引导你走完多工具排查流程,最后生成结构化报告的 Skills。
示例:
- `-debugging` — 把现象对应到工具→查询模式,覆盖你流量最大的服务
- `oncall-runner` — 拉取告警→检查常见嫌疑→格式化输出排查结论
- `log-correlator` — 给定一个请求 ID,从所有可能经过的系统中拉取匹配的日志
### 9. 基础设施运维
执行日常维护和运维操作的 Skills——其中一些涉及破坏性操作,需要安全护栏。这些 Skills 让工程师在执行关键操作时更容易遵循最佳实践。
示例:
- `-orphans` — 找到孤立的 Pod/Volume→发到 Slack→等待观察→用户确认→级联清理
- `dependency-management` — 你所在组织的依赖审批工作流
- `cost-investigation` — "我们的存储/出口带宽费用为什么突然涨了",附带具体的存储桶和查询模式
## 编写技巧

确定了要做什么 Skill 之后,怎么写呢?以下是我们总结的一些最佳实践和技巧。
我们最近还发布了 [Skill Creator](https://claude.com/blog/improving-skill-creator-test-measure-and-refine-agent-skills),让在 Claude Code 中创建 Skills 变得更加简单。
### 不要说显而易见的事
Claude Code 对你的代码库已经非常了解,Claude 本身对编程也很在行,包括很多默认的观点。如果你发布的 Skill 主要是提供知识,那就把重点放在能打破 Claude 常规思维模式的信息上。
[`frontend design` 这个 Skill](https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md) 就是一个很好的例子——它是 Anthropic 的一位工程师通过与用户反复迭代、改进 Claude 的设计品味而构建的,专门避免那些典型的套路,比如 Inter 字体和紫色渐变。
### 建一个踩坑点章节

任何 Skill 中信息量最大的部分就是踩坑点章节。这些章节应该根据 Claude 在使用你的 Skill 时遇到的常见失败点逐步积累起来。理想情况下,你会持续更新 Skill 来记录这些踩坑点。
### 利用文件系统与渐进式披露

就像前面说的,Skill 是一个文件夹,不只是一个 markdown 文件。你应该把整个文件系统当作上下文工程(Context Engineering)和渐进式披露(progressive disclosure)的工具。告诉 Claude 你的 Skill 里有哪些文件,它会在合适的时候去读取它们。
上下文工程(Context Engineering)是 2025 年由 Andrej Karpathy 等人提出并广泛传播的概念,指的是精心设计和管理输入给大语言模型的上下文信息,以最大化模型的输出质量。渐进式披露(progressive disclosure)借用了 UI 设计中的概念,意思是不一次性把所有信息塞给模型,而是让它在需要时再去读取,从而节省上下文窗口空间。
最简单的渐进式披露形式是指向其他 markdown 文件让 Claude 使用。例如,你可以把详细的函数签名和用法示例拆分到 `references/api.md` 里。
另一个例子:如果你的最终输出是一个 markdown 文件,你可以在 `assets/` 中放一个模板文件供复制使用。
你可以有参考资料、脚本、示例等文件夹,帮助 Claude 更高效地工作。
### 不要把 Claude 限制得太死
Claude 通常会努力遵循你的指令,而由于 Skills 的复用性很强,你需要注意不要把指令写得太具体。给 Claude 它需要的信息,但留给它适应具体情况的灵活性。

### 考虑好初始设置

有些 Skills 可能需要用户提供上下文来完成初始设置。例如,如果你做了一个把站会内容发到 Slack 的 Skill,你可能希望 Claude 先问用户要发到哪个 Slack 频道。
一个好的做法是把这些设置信息存在 Skill 目录下的 `config.json` 文件里。如果配置还没设置好,智能体就会向用户询问相关信息。
如果你希望智能体向用户展示结构化的多选题,可以让 Claude 使用 `AskUserQuestion` 工具。
### description 字段是给模型看的
当 Claude Code 启动一个会话时,它会构建一份所有可用 Skills 及其描述的清单。Claude 通过扫描这份清单来判断"这个请求有没有对应的 Skill?"所以 `description` 字段不是摘要——它描述的是**何时该触发这个 Skill**。
这条建议经常被忽略。很多人写 description 时会写"这个 Skill 做什么",但 Claude 需要的是"什么情况下该用这个 Skill"。好的 description 读起来更像 if-then 条件,而不是功能说明。

### 记忆与数据存储

有些 Skills 可以通过在内部存储数据来实现某种形式的记忆。你可以用最简单的方式——一个只追加写入的文本日志文件或 JSON 文件,也可以用更复杂的方式——比如 SQLite 数据库。
例如,一个 `standup-post` Skill 可以保留一份 `standups.log`,记录它写过的每一条站会汇报。这样下次运行时,Claude 会读取自己的历史记录,就能知道从昨天到现在发生了什么变化。
存在 Skill 目录下的数据可能会在升级 Skill 时被删除,所以你应该把数据存在一个稳定的文件夹中。目前我们提供了 `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}` 作为每个插件的稳定数据存储目录。
### 存储脚本与生成代码
你能给 Claude 的最强大的工具之一就是代码。给 Claude 提供脚本和库,让它把精力花在组合编排上——决定下一步做什么,而不是重新构造样板代码。
例如,在你的数据科学 Skill 中,你可以放一组从事件源获取数据的函数库。为了让 Claude 做更复杂的分析,你可以提供一组辅助函数,像这样:

Claude 就可以即时生成脚本来组合这些功能,完成更高级的分析——比如回答"周二发生了什么?"这样的问题。

### 按需钩子
Skills 可以包含只在该 Skill 被调用时才激活的钩子(On Demand Hooks),并且在整个会话期间保持生效。这适合那些比较主观、你不想一直运行但有时候极其有用的钩子。
例如:
- `/careful` — 通过 `PreToolUse` 匹配器拦截 Bash 中的 `rm -rf`、`DROP TABLE`、force-push、`kubectl delete`。你只在知道自己在操作生产环境时才需要这个——要是一直开着会让你抓狂。PreToolUse 是 Claude Code 的钩子(hook)机制之一,会在 Claude 每次调用工具之前触发。你可以在这个钩子里检查 Claude 即将执行的命令,如果命中危险操作就阻止执行。这里 `/careful` 是一个按需激活的 Skill,只有用户主动调用时才会注册这个钩子。
- `/freeze` — 阻止对特定目录之外的任何 Edit/Write 操作。在调试时特别有用:"我想加日志但老是不小心'修'了不相关的代码"
---
## 团队分发
Skills 最大的好处之一就是你可以把它们分享给团队的其他人。
你可以通过两种方式分享 Skills:
- 把 Skills 提交到你的代码仓库中(放在 `./.claude/skills` 下)
- 做成插件,搭建一个 Claude Code 插件市场(Plugin Marketplace),让用户可以上传和安装插件(详见[文档](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugin-marketplaces))
对于在较少代码仓库上协作的小团队,把 Skills 提交到仓库中就够用了。但每个提交进去的 Skill 都会给模型的上下文增加一点负担。随着规模扩大,内部插件市场可以让你分发 Skills,同时让团队成员自己决定安装哪些。
### 管理插件市场
怎么决定哪些 Skills 放进插件市场?大家怎么提交?
我们没有一个专门的中心团队来决定这些事;我们更倾向于让最有用的 Skills 自然涌现出来。如果你有一个想让大家试试的 Skill,你可以把它上传到 GitHub 的一个沙盒文件夹里,然后在 Slack 或其他论坛里推荐给大家。
当一个 Skill 获得了足够的关注(由 Skill 的作者自己判断),就可以提交 PR 把它移到插件市场中。
需要提醒的是,创建质量差或重复的 Skills 很容易,所以在正式发布之前确保有某种审核机制很重要。
### 组合 Skills
你可能希望 Skills 之间互相依赖。例如,你可能有一个文件上传 Skill 用来上传文件,以及一个 CSV 生成 Skill 用来生成 CSV 并上传。这种依赖管理目前在插件市场或 Skills 中还不支持,但你可以直接按名字引用其他 Skills,只要对方已安装,模型就会调用它们。
### 衡量 Skills 的效果
为了了解一个 Skill 的表现,我们使用了一个 `PreToolUse` 钩子来在公司内部记录 Skill 的使用情况([示例代码在这里](https://gist.github.com/ThariqS/24defad423d701746e23dc19aace4de5))。这样我们就能发现哪些 Skills 很受欢迎,或者哪些触发频率低于预期。
## 结语
Skills 是 AI 智能体(AI Agent)极其强大且灵活的工具,但这一切还处于早期阶段,我们都在摸索怎样用好它们。
与其把这篇文章当作权威指南,不如把它看作我们实践中验证过有效的一堆实用技巧合集。理解 Skills 最好的方式就是动手开始做、不断试验、看看什么对你管用。我们大多数 Skills 一开始就是几行文字加一个踩坑点,后来因为大家不断补充 Claude 遇到的新边界情况,才慢慢变好的。
希望这篇文章对你有帮助,如果有任何问题欢迎告诉我。

## 简介
Skill 是一组指令——打包成一个简单的文件夹——用于教导 Claude 如何处理特定任务或工作流程。Skills 是根据你的特定需求定制 Claude 最强大的方式之一。你无需在每次对话中重复解释自己的偏好、流程和领域知识,Skills 让你只需教导 Claude 一次,便能每次受益。
Skills 在你拥有可重复工作流程时效果最佳:从规范中生成前端设计、使用一致方法论进行研究、按照团队风格指南创建文档,或编排多步骤流程。它们与 Claude 的内置能力(如代码执行和文档创建)协同良好。对于构建 MCP 集成的用户,Skills 提供了另一个强大层级——帮助将原始工具访问转化为可靠、优化的工作流程。
本指南涵盖构建高效 Skills 所需了解的一切内容——从规划与结构到测试与分发。无论你是为自己、团队还是社区构建 Skill,你都将在全文中找到实用模式和真实案例。
**你将学到:**
- Skills 结构的技术要求和最佳实践
- 独立 Skill 和 MCP 增强工作流的模式
- 我们在不同使用场景中观察到的有效模式
- 如何测试、迭代和分发你的 Skills
**适合人群:**
- 希望 Claude 持续遵循特定工作流程的开发者
- 希望 Claude 遵循特定工作流程的高级用户
- 希望在组织中标准化 Claude 工作方式的团队
---
**本指南的两条路径**
构建独立 Skills?重点关注「基础知识」、「规划与设计」和第 1-2 类。增强 MCP 集成?「Skills + MCP」章节和第 3 类适合你。两条路径共享相同的技术要求,你可根据使用场景选择相关内容。
**你将从本指南中获得什么:** 读完本指南后,你将能够在单次会话中构建一个可运行的 Skill。预计使用 skill-creator 构建并测试你的第一个 Skill 约需 15-30 分钟。
让我们开始吧。
---
## 第一章:基础知识
### 什么是 Skill?
Skill 是一个包含以下内容的文件夹:
- **SKILL.md**(必须):带有 YAML frontmatter 的 Markdown 格式指令
- **scripts/**(可选):可执行代码(Python、Bash 等)
- **references/**(可选):按需加载的文档
- **assets/**(可选):输出中使用的模板、字体、图标
### 核心设计原则
#### 递进式披露(Progressive Disclosure)
Skills 使用三级系统:
- **第一级(YAML frontmatter)**:始终加载到 Claude 的系统提示中。提供恰到好处的信息,让 Claude 知道何时应使用每个 Skill,而无需将全部内容加载到上下文中。
- **第二级(SKILL.md 正文)**:当 Claude 认为该 Skill 与当前任务相关时加载。包含完整的指令和指导。
- **第三级(链接文件)**:打包在 Skill 目录中的附加文件,Claude 可以按需选择浏览和发现。
这种递进式披露在保持专业能力的同时最大限度地减少了 token 消耗。
#### 可组合性(Composability)
Claude 可以同时加载多个 Skills。你的 Skill 应能与其他 Skills 协同工作,而不是假设自己是唯一可用的能力。
#### 可移植性(Portability)
Skills 在 Claude.ai、Claude Code 和 API 上的工作方式完全相同。创建一次,即可在所有平台使用,无需修改——前提是运行环境支持 Skill 所需的任何依赖项。
---
### 面向 MCP 构建者:Skills + 连接器
> 💡 在没有 MCP 的情况下构建独立 Skills?跳到「规划与设计」——你随时可以回来查看这部分。
如果你已经有一个可运行的 MCP 服务器,那你已经完成了最难的部分。Skills 是顶层的知识层——捕获你已知的工作流程和最佳实践,让 Claude 能够持续地应用它们。
#### 厨房类比
MCP 提供专业厨房:工具、食材和设备的访问权限。
Skills 提供菜谱:一步步地说明如何创造有价值的成果。
两者结合,让用户无需自己摸索每一个步骤就能完成复杂任务。
#### 两者如何协作
| MCP(连接性) | Skills(知识) |
|--------------|--------------|
| 将 Claude 连接到你的服务(Notion、Asana、Linear 等) | 教导 Claude 如何有效使用你的服务 |
| 提供实时数据访问和工具调用 | 捕获工作流程和最佳实践 |
| Claude **能做**什么 | Claude **应该怎么做** |
#### 这对你的 MCP 用户意味着什么
**没有 Skills:**
- 用户连接了你的 MCP,但不知道下一步该做什么
- 支持工单询问"我如何用你的集成做 X"
- 每次对话从零开始
- 因为用户每次提示方式不同,结果不一致
- 用户将问题归咎于你的连接器,而真正的问题是工作流程指导缺失
**有了 Skills:**
- 预构建的工作流程在需要时自动激活
- 一致、可靠的工具使用
- 每次交互中都嵌入了最佳实践
- 降低了你的集成的学习曲线
---
## 第二章:规划与设计
### 从使用场景出发
在编写任何代码之前,先确定你的 Skill 应该实现的 2-3 个具体使用场景。
**良好的使用场景定义示例:**
```
使用场景:项目冲刺规划
触发条件:用户说"帮我规划这个冲刺"或"创建冲刺任务"
步骤:
1. 从 Linear(通过 MCP)获取当前项目状态
2. 分析团队速度和容量
3. 建议任务优先级
4. 在 Linear 中创建带有适当标签和估算的任务
结果:已规划完成的冲刺,并创建了任务
```
**问自己:**
- 用户想完成什么?
- 这需要哪些多步骤工作流程?
- 需要哪些工具(内置或 MCP)?
- 应该嵌入哪些领域知识或最佳实践?
---
### 常见 Skill 使用场景类别
在 Anthropic,我们观察到三类常见使用场景:
#### 第 1 类:文档与资产创建
**用途:** 创建一致、高质量的输出,包括文档、演示文稿、应用、设计、代码等。
**真实案例:** frontend-design skill(另见用于 docx、pptx、xlsx 和 ppt 的 Skills)
> "创建具有高设计质量的独特、生产级前端界面。在构建 Web 组件、页面、artifact、海报或应用时使用。"
**核心技巧:**
- 内嵌样式指南和品牌标准
- 一致输出的模板结构
- 定稿前的质量检查清单
- 无需外部工具——使用 Claude 的内置能力
#### 第 2 类:工作流程自动化
**用途:** 受益于一致方法论的多步骤流程,包括跨多个 MCP 服务器的协调。
**真实案例:** skill-creator skill
> "创建新 Skills 的交互式指南。引导用户完成使用场景定义、frontmatter 生成、指令编写和验证。"
**核心技巧:**
- 带有验证节点的分步工作流程
- 常见结构的模板
- 内置审查和改进建议
- 迭代精炼循环
#### 第 3 类:MCP 增强
**用途:** 工作流程指导,以增强 MCP 服务器提供的工具访问能力。
**真实案例:** sentry-code-review skill(来自 Sentry)
> "通过 Sentry 的 MCP 服务器,使用 Sentry 错误监控数据自动分析并修复 GitHub Pull Request 中检测到的 bug。"
**核心技巧:**
- 按顺序协调多个 MCP 调用
- 嵌入领域专业知识
- 提供用户否则需要自行指定的上下文
- 处理常见 MCP 问题的错误处理
---
### 定义成功标准
你如何知道你的 Skill 在正常工作?
这些是有抱负的目标——粗略的基准,而非精确的阈值。力求严谨,但要接受其中会有一定程度的主观判断。我们正在积极开发更完善的测量指导和工具。
**量化指标:**
- **Skill 在 90% 的相关查询上触发**
- 测量方法:运行 10-20 个应该触发你的 Skill 的测试查询。追踪它自动加载的次数 vs. 需要显式调用的次数。
- **在 X 次工具调用内完成工作流程**
- 测量方法:在启用和不启用 Skill 的情况下比较相同任务。统计工具调用次数和消耗的 token 总量。
- **每个工作流程 0 次 API 调用失败**
- 测量方法:在测试运行期间监控 MCP 服务器日志。追踪重试率和错误代码。
**定性指标:**
- **用户不需要提示 Claude 下一步该做什么**
- 评估方法:在测试期间,记录你需要重定向或澄清的频率。向测试用户征求反馈。
- **工作流程无需用户纠正即可完成**
- 评估方法:将相同请求运行 3-5 次。比较输出的结构一致性和质量。
- **跨会话结果一致**
- 评估方法:新用户能否在最少指导下第一次就完成任务?

### 技术要求
#### 文件结构
```
your-skill-name/
├── SKILL.md # 必须——主 Skill 文件
├── scripts/ # 可选——可执行代码
│ ├── process_data.py # 示例
│ └── validate.sh # 示例
├── references/ # 可选——文档
│ ├── api-guide.md # 示例
│ └── examples/ # 示例
└── assets/ # 可选——模板等
└── report-template.md # 示例
```
#### 关键规则
**SKILL.md 命名:**
- 必须完全命名为 `SKILL.md`(区分大小写)
- 不接受任何变体(SKILL.MD、skill.md 等)
**Skill 文件夹命名:**
- 使用 kebab-case:`notion-project-setup` ✅
- 不使用空格:`Notion Project Setup` ❌
- 不使用下划线:`notion_project_setup` ❌
- 不使用大写:`NotionProjectSetup` ❌
**不包含 README.md:**
- 不要在你的 Skill 文件夹内包含 README.md
- 所有文档放在 SKILL.md 或 references/ 中
- 注意:通过 GitHub 分发时,你仍然需要在仓库级别为人类用户提供 README——参见「分发与共享」章节。
---
### YAML Frontmatter:最重要的部分
YAML frontmatter 是 Claude 决定是否加载你的 Skill 的方式。务必把这部分做好。
**最小必要格式:**
```yaml
---
name: your-skill-name
description: What it does. Use when user asks to [specific phrases].
---
```
这就是你开始所需的全部内容。
**字段要求:**
`name`(必须):
- 仅使用 kebab-case
- 无空格或大写字母
- 应与文件夹名称匹配
`description`(必须):
- 必须同时包含:
- 该 Skill 的功能
- 何时使用它(触发条件)
- 少于 1024 个字符
- 无 XML 标签(`<` 或 `>`)
- 包含用户可能说的具体任务
- 如相关,提及文件类型
`license`(可选):
- 将 Skill 开源时使用
- 常用:MIT、Apache-2.0
`compatibility`(可选):
- 1-500 个字符
- 说明环境要求:例如目标产品、所需系统包、网络访问需求等
`metadata`(可选):
- 任意自定义键值对
- 建议:author、version、mcp-server
- 示例:
```yaml
metadata:
author: ProjectHub
version: 1.0.0 mcp-server: projecthub
```
#### 安全限制
**Frontmatter 中禁止:**
- XML 尖括号(`< >`)
- 名称中含有 "claude" 或 "anthropic" 的 Skills(保留字)
**原因:** Frontmatter 出现在 Claude 的系统提示中。恶意内容可能注入指令。
---
### 编写高效的 Skills
#### Description 字段
根据 Anthropic 工程博客的说法:"这些元数据……提供恰到好处的信息,让 Claude 知道何时应使用每个 Skill,而无需将全部内容加载到上下文中。"这是递进式披露的第一级。
**结构:**
```
[它做什么] + [何时使用] + [核心能力]
```
**良好 description 的示例:**
```yaml
# 好——具体且可执行
description: Analyzes Figma design files and generates
developer handoff documentation. Use when user uploads .fig
files, asks for "design specs", "component documentation", or
"design-to-code handoff".
# 好——包含触发短语
description: Manages Linear project workflows including sprint
planning, task creation, and status tracking. Use when user
mentions "sprint", "Linear tasks", "project planning", or asks
to "create tickets".
# 好——清晰的价值主张
description: End-to-end customer onboarding workflow for
PayFlow. Handles account creation, payment setup, and
subscription management. Use when user says "onboard new
customer", "set up subscription", or "create PayFlow account".
```
**糟糕 description 的示例:**
```yaml
# 太模糊
description: Helps with projects.
# 缺少触发条件
description: Creates sophisticated multi-page documentation
systems.
# 过于技术性,没有用户触发词
description: Implements the Project entity model with
hierarchical relationships.
```
---
#### 编写主体指令
在 frontmatter 之后,用 Markdown 编写实际指令。
**推荐结构:**
根据你的 Skill 调整此模板。用你的具体内容替换括号中的部分。
````markdown
---
name: your-skill
description: [...]
---
# Your Skill Name
## Instructions
### Step 1: [First Major Step]
Clear explanation of what happens.
```bash
python scripts/fetch_data.py --project-id PROJECT_ID
Expected output: [describe what success looks like]
```
(Add more steps as needed)
Examples
Example 1: [common scenario]
User says: "Set up a new marketing campaign"
Actions:
1. Fetch existing campaigns via MCP
2. Create new campaign with provided parameters
Result: Campaign created with confirmation link
(Add more examples as needed)
Troubleshooting
Error: [Common error message]
Cause: [Why it happens]
Solution: [How to fix]
(Add more error cases as needed)
````
---
#### 指令最佳实践
**具体且可执行**
✅ 好:
```
Run `python scripts/validate.py --input {filename}` to check
data format.
If validation fails, common issues include:
- Missing required fields (add them to the CSV)
- Invalid date formats (use YYYY-MM-DD)
```
❌ 差:
```
Validate the data before proceeding.
```
**包含错误处理**
```markdown
## Common Issues
### MCP Connection Failed
If you see "Connection refused":
1. Verify MCP server is running: Check Settings > Extensions
2. Confirm API key is valid
3. Try reconnecting: Settings > Extensions > [Your Service] >
Reconnect
```
**清晰引用捆绑的资源**
```
Before writing queries, consult `references/api-patterns.md`
for:
- Rate limiting guidance
- Pagination patterns
- Error codes and handling
```
**使用递进式披露**
保持 SKILL.md 专注于核心指令。将详细文档移至 `references/` 并添加链接。(参见「核心设计原则」了解三级系统的工作方式。)
---
## 第三章:测试与迭代
Skills 可以根据你的需求进行不同严格程度的测试:
- **在 Claude.ai 中手动测试** - 直接运行查询并观察行为。迭代快速,无需配置。
- **在 Claude Code 中脚本化测试** - 自动化测试用例,实现跨版本的可重复验证。
- **通过 Skills API 程序化测试** - 构建评估套件,系统地针对定义的测试集运行。
根据你的质量要求和 Skill 的可见度选择合适的方法。供小团队内部使用的 Skill 与部署给数千名企业用户的 Skill,其测试需求截然不同。
> **专业建议:在扩展之前先在单一任务上迭代**
>
> 我们发现,最有效的 Skill 创建者会在单个具有挑战性的任务上持续迭代直到 Claude 成功,然后将成功的方法提炼成 Skill。这利用了 Claude 的上下文学习能力,比广泛测试提供更快的信号反馈。一旦有了可用的基础,再扩展到多个测试用例以提升覆盖率。
### 推荐的测试方法
基于早期经验,有效的 Skills 测试通常涵盖三个方面:
#### 1. 触发测试
**目标:** 确保你的 Skill 在正确时机加载。
**测试用例:**
- ✅ 在明显任务上触发
- ✅ 在换句话的请求上触发
- ❌ 不在无关话题上触发
**示例测试套件:**
```
应该触发:
- "Help me set up a new ProjectHub workspace"
- "I need to create a project in ProjectHub"
- "Initialize a ProjectHub project for Q4 planning"
不应触发:
- "What's the weather in San Francisco?"
- "Help me write Python code"
- "Create a spreadsheet" (unless ProjectHub skill handles sheets)
```
#### 2. 功能测试
**目标:** 验证 Skill 能产生正确的输出。
**测试用例:**
- 生成有效的输出
- API 调用成功
- 错误处理正常工作
- 边缘情况有所覆盖
**示例:**
```
Test: Create project with 5 tasks
Given: Project name "Q4 Planning", 5 task descriptions
When: Skill executes workflow
Then:
- Project created in ProjectHub
- 5 tasks created with correct properties
- All tasks linked to project
- No API errors
```
#### 3. 性能对比
**目标:** 证明 Skill 相比基线有所改善。
使用「定义成功标准」中的指标。以下是一个对比示例:
**基线对比:**
```
Without skill:
- User provides instructions each time
- 15 back-and-forth messages
- 3 failed API calls requiring retry
- 12,000 tokens consumed
With skill:
- Automatic workflow execution
- 2 clarifying questions only
- 0 failed API calls
- 6,000 tokens consumed
```
---
### 使用 skill-creator Skill
`skill-creator` skill——可在 Claude.ai 插件目录中获取,或下载用于 Claude Code——可以帮助你构建和迭代 Skills。如果你有一个 MCP 服务器并了解你的 2-3 个主要工作流程,你可以在单次会话中构建并测试一个功能性 Skill——通常只需 15-30 分钟。
**创建 Skills:**
- 从自然语言描述生成 Skills
- 生成带有 frontmatter 的规范格式 SKILL.md
- 建议触发短语和结构
**审查 Skills:**
- 标记常见问题(模糊描述、缺少触发词、结构问题)
- 识别潜在的过度/不足触发风险
- 根据 Skill 的目标用途建议测试用例
**迭代改进:**
- 使用 Skill 过程中遇到边缘情况或失败时,将这些示例带回 skill-creator
- 示例:"Use the issues & solution identified in this chat to improve how the skill handles [specific edge case]"
**使用方法:**
```
"Use the skill-creator skill to help me build a skill for
[your use case]"
```
注意:skill-creator 帮助你设计和完善 Skills,但不执行自动化测试套件或生成定量评估结果。
---
### 基于反馈的迭代
Skills 是动态文档。计划根据以下信号进行迭代:
**触发不足的信号:**
- Skill 在应该加载时没有加载
- 用户手动启用它
- 关于何时使用它的支持问题
> 解决方案:在 description 中添加更多细节和针对性内容——对于技术术语,可能需要包含关键词
**过度触发的信号:**
- Skill 在无关查询时加载
- 用户禁用它
- 对用途感到困惑
> 解决方案:添加负面触发词,更加具体
**执行问题:**
- 结果不一致
- API 调用失败
- 需要用户纠正
> 解决方案:改进指令,添加错误处理
---
## 第四章:分发与共享
Skills 让你的 MCP 集成更加完整。当用户比较各种连接器时,拥有 Skills 的连接器提供了更快的价值路径,让你在仅有 MCP 的替代方案中脱颖而出。
### 当前分发模型(2026 年 1 月)
**个人用户获取 Skills 的方式:**
1. 下载 Skill 文件夹
2. 压缩文件夹(如需要)
3. 通过 Claude.ai 的 Settings > Capabilities > Skills 上传
4. 或放置在 Claude Code skills 目录中
**组织级 Skills:**
- 管理员可以在整个工作区部署 Skills(2025 年 12 月 18 日上线)
- 自动更新
- 集中管理
### 开放标准
我们将 Agent Skills 作为开放标准发布。与 MCP 一样,我们相信 Skills 应该可以跨工具和平台移植——无论使用 Claude 还是其他 AI 平台,同一个 Skill 都应该能够工作。也就是说,有些 Skills 被设计为充分利用特定平台的能力;作者可以在 Skill 的 `compatibility` 字段中注明这一点。我们一直在与生态系统的各方成员合作推进这一标准,并对早期采用者的积极反响感到振奋。
### 通过 API 使用 Skills
对于程序化使用场景——如构建利用 Skills 的应用程序、智能体或自动化工作流——API 提供对 Skill 管理和执行的直接控制。
**核心能力:**
- `/v1/skills` 端点,用于列举和管理 Skills
- 通过 `container.skills` 参数将 Skills 添加到 Messages API 请求
- 通过 Claude Console 进行版本控制和管理
- 与 Claude Agent SDK 协同工作,用于构建自定义智能体
**何时使用 API vs. Claude.ai:**
| 使用场景 | 最佳平台 |
|---------|:-------:|
| 终端用户直接与 Skills 交互 | Claude.ai / Claude Code |
| 开发期间的手动测试和迭代 | Claude.ai / Claude Code |
| 个人、临时工作流 | Claude.ai / Claude Code |
| 以编程方式使用 Skills 的应用程序 | API |
| 大规模生产部署 | API |
| 自动化流水线和智能体系统 | API |
注意:API 中的 Skills 需要代码执行工具(Code Execution Tool)beta 版,该工具提供了 Skills 运行所需的安全环境。
更多实现细节,请参阅:
- Skills API 快速入门
- 创建自定义 Skills
- Agent SDK 中的 Skills
---
### 当前推荐方法
从在 GitHub 上用公开仓库托管你的 Skill 开始,包含清晰的 README(面向人类访问者——这与你的 Skill 文件夹分开,Skill 文件夹不应包含 README.md)以及带截图的示例用法。然后在你的 MCP 文档中添加一个章节,链接到该 Skill,解释同时使用两者为何有价值,并提供快速入门指南。
**1. 在 GitHub 上托管**
- 开源 Skills 使用公开仓库
- 清晰的 README,包含安装说明
- 示例用法和截图
**2. 在你的 MCP 仓库中建立文档**
- 从 MCP 文档链接到 Skills
- 解释同时使用两者的价值
- 提供快速入门指南
**3. 创建安装指南**
```markdown
## Installing the [Your Service] skill
1. Download the skill:
- Clone repo: `git clone https://github.com/yourcompany/
skills`
- Or download ZIP from Releases
2. Install in Claude:
- Open Claude.ai > Settings > skills
- Click "Upload skill"
- Select the skill folder (zipped)
3. Enable the skill:
- Toggle on the [Your Service] skill
- Ensure your MCP server is connected
4. Test:
- Ask Claude: "Set up a new project in [Your Service]"
```
### 定位你的 Skill
你描述 Skill 的方式决定了用户是否理解其价值并真正尝试使用它。在 README、文档或推广材料中介绍你的 Skill 时,请遵循以下原则:
**聚焦结果,而非功能:**
✅ 好:
```
"The ProjectHub skill enables teams to set up complete project
workspaces in seconds — including pages, databases, and
templates — instead of spending 30 minutes on manual setup."
```
❌ 差:
```
"The ProjectHub skill is a folder containing YAML frontmatter
and Markdown instructions that calls our MCP server tools."
```
**突出 MCP + Skills 的组合:**
```
"Our MCP server gives Claude access to your Linear projects.
Our skills teach Claude your team's sprint planning workflow.
Together, they enable AI-powered project management."
```
---
## 第五章:模式与故障排除
这些模式来自早期采用者和内部团队创建的 Skills。它们代表了我们观察到的常见有效方法,而非规定性模板。
### 选择方法:问题优先 vs. 工具优先
把它想象成家得宝(Home Depot)。你可能带着一个问题走进去——"我需要修厨房橱柜"——然后员工引导你找到合适的工具。或者你可能挑好了一把新电钻,然后询问如何用它完成你的特定工作。
Skills 的工作方式相同:
- **问题优先**:"我需要设置一个项目工作区" → 你的 Skill 按正确顺序编排合适的 MCP 调用。用户描述结果;Skill 处理工具。
- **工具优先**:"我已连接了 Notion MCP" → 你的 Skill 教导 Claude 最优工作流程和最佳实践。用户拥有访问权限;Skill 提供专业知识。
大多数 Skills 偏向某一方向。了解哪种框架适合你的使用场景,有助于你选择下方合适的模式。
---
### 模式 1:顺序工作流程编排
**适用场景:** 用户需要按特定顺序执行的多步骤流程。
**示例结构:**
```markdown
## Workflow: Onboard New Customer
### Step 1: Create Account
Call MCP tool: `create_customer`
Parameters: name, email, company
### Step 2: Setup Payment
Call MCP tool: `setup_payment_method`
Wait for: payment method verification
### Step 3: Create Subscription
Call MCP tool: `create_subscription`
Parameters: plan_id, customer_id (from Step 1)
### Step 4: Send Welcome Email
Call MCP tool: `send_email`
Template: welcome_email_template
```
**核心技巧:**
- 明确的步骤顺序
- 步骤间的依赖关系
- 每个阶段的验证
- 失败时的回滚指令
---
### 模式 2:多 MCP 协调
**适用场景:** 工作流程跨越多个服务。
**示例:** 设计到开发的交接
```markdown
### Phase 1: Design Export (Figma MCP)
1. Export design assets from Figma
2. Generate design specifications
3. Create asset manifest
### Phase 2: Asset Storage (Drive MCP)
1. Create project folder in Drive
2. Upload all assets
3. Generate shareable links
### Phase 3: Task Creation (Linear MCP)
1. Create development tasks
2. Attach asset links to tasks
3. Assign to engineering team
### Phase 4: Notification (Slack MCP)
1. Post handoff summary to #engineering
2. Include asset links and task references
```
**核心技巧:**
- 清晰的阶段划分
- MCP 之间的数据传递
- 进入下一阶段前的验证
- 集中的错误处理
---
### 模式 3:迭代精炼
**适用场景:** 输出质量随迭代提升。
**示例:** 报告生成
```markdown
## Iterative Report Creation
### Initial Draft
1. Fetch data via MCP
2. Generate first draft report
3. Save to temporary file
### Quality Check
1. Run validation script: `scripts/check_report.py`
2. Identify issues:
- Missing sections
- Inconsistent formatting
- Data validation errors
### Refinement Loop
1. Address each identified issue
2. Regenerate affected sections
3. Re-validate
4. Repeat until quality threshold met
### Finalization
1. Apply final formatting
2. Generate summary
3. Save final version
```
**核心技巧:**
- 明确的质量标准
- 迭代改进
- 验证脚本
- 知道何时停止迭代
---
### 模式 4:上下文感知工具选择
**适用场景:** 相同的结果,根据上下文使用不同的工具。
**示例:** 文件存储
```markdown
## Smart File Storage
### Decision Tree
1. Check file type and size
2. Determine best storage location:
- Large files (>10MB): Use cloud storage MCP
- Collaborative docs: Use Notion/Docs MCP
- Code files: Use GitHub MCP
- Temporary files: Use local storage
### Execute Storage
Based on decision:
- Call appropriate MCP tool
- Apply service-specific metadata
- Generate access link
### Provide Context to User
Explain why that storage was chosen
```
**核心技巧:**
- 清晰的决策标准
- 备选方案
- 关于选择的透明度
---
### 模式 5:领域特定智能
**适用场景:** 你的 Skill 在工具访问之外增加了专业知识。
**示例:** 金融合规
```markdown
## Payment Processing with Compliance
### Before Processing (Compliance Check)
1. Fetch transaction details via MCP
2. Apply compliance rules:
- Check sanctions lists
- Verify jurisdiction allowances
- Assess risk level
3. Document compliance decision
### Processing
IF compliance passed:
- Call payment processing MCP tool
- Apply appropriate fraud checks
- Process transaction
ELSE:
- Flag for review
- Create compliance case
### Audit Trail
- Log all compliance checks
- Record processing decisions
- Generate audit report
```
**核心技巧:**
- 逻辑中嵌入领域专业知识
- 行动前先合规
- 全面的文档记录
- 清晰的治理
---
### 故障排除
#### Skill 无法上传
**错误:"Could not find SKILL.md in uploaded folder"**
原因:文件没有完全命名为 SKILL.md
解决方案:
- 重命名为 SKILL.md(区分大小写)
- 用 `ls -la` 验证,应显示 SKILL.md
---
**错误:"Invalid frontmatter"**
原因:YAML 格式问题
常见错误:
```yaml
# 错误——缺少分隔符
name: my-skill
description: Does things
# 错误——未闭合的引号
name: my-skill
description: "Does things
# 正确
---
name: my-skill
description: Does things
---
```
---
**错误:"Invalid skill name"**
原因:名称含有空格或大写字母
```yaml
# 错误
name: My Cool Skill
# 正确
name: my-cool-skill
```
---
#### Skill 不触发
**症状:** Skill 从不自动加载
**修复:**
修改你的 description 字段。参见「Description 字段」章节中的好/坏示例。
**快速检查清单:**
- 是否太通用?("Helps with projects" 无效)
- 是否包含用户实际会说的触发短语?
- 如果适用,是否提及了相关文件类型?
**调试方法:**
询问 Claude:"When would you use the [skill name] skill?" Claude 会引用 description 内容。根据缺失的内容进行调整。
---
#### Skill 触发过于频繁
**症状:** Skill 在无关查询时加载
**解决方案:**
**1. 添加负面触发词**
```yaml
description: Advanced data analysis for CSV files. Use for
statistical modeling, regression, clustering. Do NOT use for
simple data exploration (use data-viz skill instead).
```
**2. 更加具体**
```yaml
# 太宽泛
description: Processes documents
# 更具体
description: Processes PDF legal documents for contract review
```
**3. 明确范围**
```yaml
description: PayFlow payment processing for e-commerce. Use
specifically for online payment workflows, not for general
financial queries.
```
---
#### MCP 连接问题
**症状:** Skill 加载但 MCP 调用失败
**检查清单:**
1. 验证 MCP 服务器是否已连接
- Claude.ai:Settings > Extensions > [你的服务]
- 应显示"Connected"状态
2. 检查身份验证
- API 密钥有效且未过期
- 已授予正确的权限/范围
- OAuth token 已刷新
3. 独立测试 MCP
- 让 Claude 直接调用 MCP(不使用 Skill)
- "Use [Service] MCP to fetch my projects"
- 如果这也失败,问题在 MCP 而非 Skill
4. 验证工具名称
- Skill 引用了正确的 MCP 工具名称
- 检查 MCP 服务器文档
- 工具名称区分大小写
---
#### 指令未被遵循
**症状:** Skill 加载但 Claude 不遵循指令
**常见原因:**
1. 指令太冗长
- 保持指令简洁
- 使用项目符号和编号列表
- 将详细参考内容移至单独文件
2. 指令被埋没
- 将关键指令放在最前面
- 使用 `## Important` 或 `## Critical` 标题
- 如有必要,重复关键要点
3. 语言模糊
```markdown
# 差
Make sure to validate things properly
# 好
CRITICAL: Before calling create_project, verify:
- Project name is non-empty
- At least one team member assigned
- Start date is not in the past
```
**高级技巧:** 对于关键验证,考虑打包一个以编程方式执行检查的脚本,而不是依赖语言指令。代码是确定性的;语言解读则不然。参见 Office skills 了解此模式的示例。
4. 模型"偷懒" 添加明确的鼓励:
```markdown
## Performance Notes
- Take your time to do this thoroughly
- Quality is more important than speed
- Do not skip validation steps
```
注意:将此内容添加到用户提示中比放在 SKILL.md 中更有效。
---
#### 大上下文问题
**症状:** Skill 看起来变慢或响应质量下降
**原因:**
- Skill 内容太大
- 同时启用的 Skills 太多
- 所有内容被加载而非递进式披露
**解决方案:**
1. 优化 SKILL.md 大小
- 将详细文档移至 references/
- 链接引用而非内联
- 将 SKILL.md 控制在 5,000 字以内
2. 减少启用的 Skills 数量
- 评估是否同时启用了超过 20-50 个 Skills
- 建议选择性启用
- 考虑将相关能力打包成 Skill "套件"

This project is dedicated to following the principle of quality over quantity, collecting and sharing the finest Skill resources, tutorials, and best practices, helping more people easily take their first step in building Agents.
> Follow me on 𝕏 [@libukai](https://x.com/libukai) and 💬 WeChat Official Account [@李不凯正在研究](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/uer7HvD2Z9ZbJSPEZWHKRA?scene=0&subscene=90) for the latest Skills resources and practical tutorials!
## Quick Start
Skill is a lightweight universal standard that packages workflows and professional knowledge to enhance AI's ability to perform specific tasks.
When you need to execute repeatable tasks, you no longer need to repeatedly provide relevant information in every conversation with AI. Simply install the corresponding Skill, and AI will master the related capabilities.
After half a year of development and iteration, Skill has become the standard solution for enhancing personalized AI capabilities in Agent frameworks, and has been widely supported by various AI products.
## Standard Structure
According to the standard definition, each Skill is a standardized named folder containing workflows, references, scripts, and other resources. AI progressively imports these contents in context to learn and master related skills.
```markdown
my-skill/
├── SKILL.md # Required: description and metadata
├── scripts/ # Optional: executable code
├── references/ # Optional: documentation references
└── assets/ # Optional: templates, resources
```
## Install Skills
Skills can be used in Claude and ChatGPT apps, IDE and TUI coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code, and Agent Harnesses like OpenClaw.
The essence of installing a Skill is simply placing the Skill's folder into a specific directory so that AI can load and use it on demand.
### Claude App Ecosystem

There are currently two main ways to use Skills in the App: install through the App's built-in Skill store, or install by uploading a zip file.
For Skills not available in the official store, you can download them from the recommended third-party Skill stores below and install them manually.
### Claude Code Ecosystem

It is recommended to use the [skillsmp](https://skillsmp.com/zh) marketplace, which automatically indexes all Skill projects on GitHub and organizes them by category, update time, star count, and other tags.
You can also use Vercel's [skills.sh](https://skills.sh/) leaderboard to intuitively view the most popular Skills repositories and individual Skill usage.
For specific skills, use the `npx skills` command-line tool to quickly discover, add, and manage skills. For detailed parameters, see [vercel-labs/skills](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills).
```bash
npx skills find [query] # Search for related skills
npx skills add # Install skills (supports GitHub shorthand, full URL, local path)
npx skills list # List installed skills
npx skills check # Check for available updates
npx skills update # Upgrade all skills
npx skills remove [skill-name] # Uninstall skills
```
### OpenClaw Ecosystem

If you have access to international networks and use the official OpenClaw version, it is recommended to use the official [ClawHub](https://clawhub.com/) marketplace, which provides more technical-oriented skills and includes integration with many overseas products.
```bash
npx clawhub search [query] # Search for related skills
npx clawhub explore # Browse the marketplace
npx clawhub install # Install a skill
npx clawhub uninstall # Uninstall a skill
npx clawhub list # List installed skills
npx clawhub update --all # Upgrade all skills
npx clawhub inspect # View skill details (without installing)
```

For users primarily on domestic networks or using a domestically customized version of OpenClaw, it is recommended to use Tencent's [SkillHub](https://skillhub.tencent.com/) marketplace, which offers many skills better suited to Chinese users' needs.
First, install the Skill Hub CLI tool with the following command:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://skillhub-1251783334.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/install/install.sh | bash
```
After installation, use the following commands to install and manage skills:
```bash
skillhub search [query] # Search for related skills
skillhub install # Add a skill by name
skillhub list # List installed skills
skillhub upgrade # Upgrade installed skills
```

## Security Warning
Since Skills may contain potentially risky operations such as calling external APIs or executing scripts, security must be taken seriously when designing and using Skills.
When installing Skills, it is recommended to prioritize those from official stores or well-known third-party stores, and carefully read the Skill's description and user reviews to avoid installing Skills from unknown sources.
For scenarios with higher security requirements, you can refer to @余弦's [OpenClaw Minimal Security Practice Guide v2.8](https://github.com/slowmist/openclaw-security-practice-guide/blob/main/docs/OpenClaw%E6%9E%81%E7%AE%80%E5%AE%89%E5%85%A8%E5%AE%9E%E8%B7%B5%E6%8C%87%E5%8D%97v2.8.md) to have AI perform a self-audit.
## Create Skills
While you can directly install skills created by others through skill marketplaces, to improve skill fit and personalization, it is strongly recommended to create your own skills as needed, or fine-tune others' skills.
### Official Plugin
Use the official [skill-creator](https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/skills/skill-creator) plugin to quickly create and iterate personal skills.

### Enhanced Plugin

# Excalidraw MCP Integration Guide
## Overview
This project integrates the Excalidraw MCP server to provide hand-drawn style diagram creation capabilities directly within Claude Code.
## Configuration
The Excalidraw MCP server is configured in `.claude/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"excalidraw": {
"url": "https://mcp.excalidraw.com",
"description": "Excalidraw MCP server for creating hand-drawn style diagrams with interactive editing"
}
}
}
```
## Features
- **Hand-drawn Style**: Creates diagrams with a casual, sketch-like appearance
- **Interactive Editing**: Full-screen browser-based editing interface
- **Real-time Streaming**: Diagrams are rendered as they're created
- **Smooth Camera Control**: Pan and zoom through your diagrams

## Usage Examples
### Basic Diagram Creation
```
Create a flowchart showing the user authentication process
```
### Architecture Diagrams
```
Draw a system architecture diagram with:
- Frontend (React)
- API Gateway
- Microservices (Auth, Users, Orders)
- Database (PostgreSQL)
```
### Creative Visualizations
```
Draw a cute cat with a computer
```

# Update .claude/mcp.json to use local installation
{
"mcpServers": {
"excalidraw": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/excalidraw-mcp-app/dist/index.js", "--stdio"]
}
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### MCP Server Not Available

# Check Plugin Integration
Verify that a skill properly integrates with its plugin's commands and agents, following the three-layer architecture pattern.
## Usage
```
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
```
## Examples
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration` - Check current directory
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill`
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill`
## What this command does
1. Detects if the skill is part of a plugin
2. Finds related commands and agents
3. Verifies three-layer architecture (Command → Agent → Skill)
4. Generates integration report with scoring
5. Provides actionable recommendations
## When to use
- After creating a new skill in a plugin
- After modifying an existing plugin skill
- When reviewing plugin architecture
- Before publishing a plugin
- When troubleshooting integration issues
---
## Implementation
This command acts as a **thin wrapper** that delegates to the `plugin-integration-checker` skill.
### Step 1: Determine Skill Path
```bash
# If skill-path argument is provided, use it
SKILL_PATH="${1}"
# If no argument, check if current directory is a skill
if [ -z "$SKILL_PATH" ]; then
if [ -f "skill.md" ]; then
SKILL_PATH=$(pwd)
echo "📍 Using current directory: $SKILL_PATH"
else
echo "❌ No skill path provided and current directory is not a skill."
echo "Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]"
exit 1
fi
fi
# Verify skill exists
if [ ! -f "$SKILL_PATH/skill.md" ] && [ ! -f "$SKILL_PATH" ]; then
echo "❌ Skill not found at: $SKILL_PATH"
echo "Please provide a valid path to a skill directory or skill.md file"
exit 1
fi
# If path points to skill.md, get the directory
if [ -f "$SKILL_PATH" ] && [[ "$SKILL_PATH" == *"skill.md" ]]; then
SKILL_PATH=$(dirname "$SKILL_PATH")
fi
echo "✅ Found skill at: $SKILL_PATH"
```
### Step 2: Invoke plugin-integration-checker Skill
The actual integration check is performed by the `plugin-integration-checker` skill. This command simply provides a convenient entry point.
```
Use the plugin-integration-checker skill to analyze the skill at: {SKILL_PATH}
The skill will:
1. Detect plugin context (look for .claude-plugin/plugin.json)
2. Scan for related commands and agents
3. Verify three-layer architecture compliance
4. Generate integration report with scoring
5. Provide specific recommendations
Display the full report to the user.
```
### Step 3: Display Results
The skill will generate a comprehensive report. Make sure to display:
- **Plugin Information**: Name, version, skill location
- **Integration Status**: Related commands and agents
- **Architecture Analysis**: Scoring for each layer
- **Overall Score**: 0.0-1.0 with interpretation
- **Recommendations**: Specific improvements with examples
### Step 4: Offer Next Steps
After displaying the report, offer to:
```
Based on the integration report, would you like me to:
1. Fix integration issues (create/update commands or agents)
2. Generate ARCHITECTURE.md documentation
3. Update README.md with architecture section
4. Review specific components in detail
5. Nothing, the integration looks good
```
Use AskUserQuestion to present these options.

## Example Usage
### Check Current Directory
```bash
cd plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration
# Output:
# 📍 Using current directory: /path/to/my-skill
# ✅ Found skill at: /path/to/my-skill
# 🔍 Analyzing plugin integration...
# [Full report displayed]
```
### Check Specific Skill
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration plugins/tldraw-helper/skills/tldraw-canvas-api
# Output:
# ✅ Found skill at: plugins/tldraw-helper/skills/tldraw-canvas-api
# 🔍 Analyzing plugin integration...
# [Full report displayed]
```
### Standalone Skill (Not in Plugin)
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration ~/.claude/skills/my-standalone-skill
# Output:
# ✅ Found skill at: ~/.claude/skills/my-standalone-skill
# ℹ️ This skill is standalone (not part of a plugin)
# No integration check needed.
```
## Key Design Principles
### 1. Command as Thin Wrapper
This command doesn't implement the checking logic itself. It:
- Validates input (skill path)
- Delegates to the skill (plugin-integration-checker)
- Displays results
- Offers next steps
**Why:** Keeps command simple and focused on orchestration.
### 2. Skill Does the Work
The `plugin-integration-checker` skill contains all the logic:
- Plugin detection
- Component scanning
- Architecture verification
- Report generation
**Why:** Reusable logic, can be called from other contexts.
### 3. User-Friendly Interface
The command provides:
- Clear error messages
- Progress indicators
- Formatted output
- Actionable next steps
**Why:** Great user experience.
## Error Handling
### Skill Not Found
```
❌ Skill not found at: /invalid/path
Please provide a valid path to a skill directory or skill.md file
Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
```
### Not a Skill Directory
```
❌ No skill path provided and current directory is not a skill.
Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
Tip: Navigate to a skill directory or provide the path as an argument.
```
### Permission Issues
```
❌ Cannot read skill at: /path/to/skill
Permission denied. Please check file permissions.
```
## Integration with Other Commands
This command complements other agent-skills-toolkit commands:
- **After `/create-skill`**: Automatically check integration
- **After `/improve-skill`**: Verify improvements didn't break integration
- **Before publishing**: Final integration check
## Summary
This command provides a **convenient entry point** for checking plugin integration:
1. ✅ Simple to use (just provide skill path)
2. ✅ Delegates to specialized skill
3. ✅ Provides comprehensive report
4. ✅ Offers actionable next steps
5. ✅ Follows command-as-orchestrator pattern
**Remember:** The command orchestrates, the skill executes, following our three-layer architecture!

# Create New Skill
You are helping the user create a new Agent Skill from scratch.
**IMPORTANT**: First invoke `/agent-skills-toolkit:skill-creator-pro` to load the complete skill creation context, including all references, scripts, and best practices.
Once skill-creator-pro is loaded, focus specifically on the **Creating a skill** section and follow this streamlined workflow:
## Quick Start Process
1. **Capture Intent** (from skill-creator-pro context)
- What should this skill enable Claude to do?
- When should this skill trigger?
- What's the expected output format?
- Should we set up test cases?
2. **Interview and Research** (use skill-creator-pro's guidance)
- Ask about edge cases, input/output formats
- Check available MCPs if useful
- Review `references/content-patterns.md` for content structure patterns
- Review `references/design_principles.md` for design principles
3. **Write the SKILL.md** (follow skill-creator-pro's templates)
- Use the anatomy and structure from skill-creator-pro
- Apply the chosen content pattern from `references/content-patterns.md`
- Check `references/patterns.md` for implementation patterns (config.json, gotchas, etc.)
- Reference `references/constraints_and_rules.md` for naming
4. **Create Test Cases** (if applicable)
- Generate 3-5 test prompts
- Cover different use cases
5. **Run Initial Tests**
- Execute test prompts
- Gather feedback
## Available Resources from skill-creator-pro

# Optimize Skill Description
You are helping the user optimize a skill's description to improve triggering accuracy.
**IMPORTANT**: First invoke `/agent-skills-toolkit:skill-creator-pro` to load the description optimization tools and best practices.
Once skill-creator-pro is loaded, use the `scripts/improve_description.py` script and follow the optimization workflow:
## Quick Optimization Process
1. **Analyze Current Description**
- Read the skill's description field in SKILL.md
- Review triggering phrases
- Check against `references/constraints_and_rules.md` requirements
- Identify ambiguities
2. **Run Description Improver** (use skill-creator-pro's script)
- Use `scripts/improve_description.py` for automated optimization
- The script will test various user prompts
- It identifies false positives/negatives
- It suggests improved descriptions
3. **Test Triggering**
- Try various user prompts
- Check if skill triggers correctly
- Note false positives/negatives
- Test edge cases
4. **Improve Description** (follow skill-creator-pro's guidelines)
- Make description more specific
- Add relevant triggering phrases
- Remove ambiguous language
- Include key use cases
- Follow the formula: `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`
- Keep under 1024 characters
- Avoid XML angle brackets
5. **Optimize Triggering Phrases**
- Add common user expressions
- Include domain-specific terms
- Cover different phrasings
- Make it slightly "pushy" to combat undertriggering
6. **Validate Changes**
- Run `scripts/improve_description.py` again
- Test with sample prompts
- Verify improved accuracy
- Iterate as needed
## Available Tools from skill-creator-pro
- `scripts/improve_description.py` - Automated description optimization
- `references/constraints_and_rules.md` - Description requirements
- `references/design_principles.md` - Triggering best practices
## Best Practices (from skill-creator-pro)
- **Be Specific**: Clearly state what the skill does
- **Use Keywords**: Include terms users naturally use
- **Avoid Overlap**: Distinguish from similar skills
- **Cover Variations**: Include different ways to ask
- **Stay Concise**: Keep description focused (under 1024 chars)
- **Be Pushy**: Combat undertriggering with explicit use cases
## Example Improvements
Before:
```
description: Help with coding tasks
```
After:
```
description: Review code for bugs, suggest improvements, and refactor for better performance. Use when users ask to "review my code", "find bugs", "improve this function", or "refactor this class". Make sure to use this skill whenever code quality or optimization is mentioned.
```
## Next Steps
After optimization:
- Run `/agent-skills-toolkit:test-skill` to verify improvements
- Monitor real-world usage patterns
- Continue refining based on feedback

name: plugin-integration-checker
description: Check if a skill is part of a plugin and verify its integration with commands and agents. Use after creating or modifying a skill to ensure proper plugin architecture. Triggers on "check plugin integration", "verify skill integration", "is this skill in a plugin", "check command-skill-agent integration", or after skill creation/modification when the skill path contains ".claude-plugins" or "plugins/".
---
# Plugin Integration Checker
After creating or modifying a skill, this skill checks whether it's part of a Claude Code plugin and verifies proper integration with commands and agents following the three-layer architecture pattern.
## When to Use
Use this skill automatically after:
- Creating a new skill that's part of a plugin
- Modifying an existing skill in a plugin
- User asks to check plugin integration
- Skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`
## Three-Layer Architecture
A well-designed plugin follows this pattern:
```
Command (Orchestration) → Agent (Execution) → Skill (Knowledge)
```
### Layer Responsibilities
| Layer | Responsibility | Contains |
|-------|---------------|----------|
| **Command** | Workflow orchestration | Prerequisites checks, user interaction, agent delegation |
| **Agent** | Autonomous execution | Task planning, API calls, iteration, error handling |
| **Skill** | Knowledge documentation | API reference, best practices, examples, troubleshooting |
## Integration Check Process
### Step 1: Detect Plugin Context
```bash
# Check if skill is in a plugin directory
SKILL_PATH="$1" # Path to the skill directory
# Look for plugin.json in parent directories
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$SKILL_PATH")
PLUGIN_ROOT=""
while [ "$CURRENT_DIR" != "/" ]; do
if [ -f "$CURRENT_DIR/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" ]; then
PLUGIN_ROOT="$CURRENT_DIR"
break
fi
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$CURRENT_DIR")
done
if [ -z "$PLUGIN_ROOT" ]; then
echo "✅ This skill is standalone (not part of a plugin)"
exit 0
fi
echo "🔍 Found plugin at: $PLUGIN_ROOT"
```
### Step 2: Read Plugin Metadata
```bash
# Extract plugin info
PLUGIN_NAME=$(jq -r '.name' "$PLUGIN_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json")
PLUGIN_VERSION=$(jq -r '.version' "$PLUGIN_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json")
echo "Plugin: $PLUGIN_NAME v$PLUGIN_VERSION"
```
### Step 3: Check for Related Commands
Look for commands that might use this skill:
```bash
# List all commands in the plugin
COMMANDS_DIR="$PLUGIN_ROOT/commands"
if [ -d "$COMMANDS_DIR" ]; then
echo "📋 Checking commands..."
# Get skill name from directory
SKILL_NAME=$(basename "$SKILL_PATH")
# Search for references to this skill in commands
grep -r "$SKILL_NAME" "$COMMANDS_DIR" --include="*.md" -l
fi
```
### Step 4: Check for Related Agents
Look for agents that might reference this skill:
```bash
# List all agents in the plugin
AGENTS_DIR="$PLUGIN_ROOT/agents"
if [ -d "$AGENTS_DIR" ]; then
echo "🤖 Checking agents..."
# Search for references to this skill in agents
grep -r "$SKILL_NAME" "$AGENTS_DIR" --include="*.md" -l
fi
```
### Step 5: Analyze Integration Quality
For each command/agent that references this skill, check:
#### Command Integration Checklist
Read the command file and verify:
- [ ] **Prerequisites Check**: Does it check if required services/tools are running?
- [ ] **User Interaction**: Does it use AskUserQuestion for gathering requirements?
- [ ] **Agent Delegation**: Does it delegate complex work to an agent?
- [ ] **Skill Reference**: Does it mention the skill in the implementation section?
- [ ] **Result Verification**: Does it verify the final result (screenshot, output, etc.)?
**Good Example:**
```markdown
## Implementation
### Step 1: Check Prerequisites
curl -s http://localhost:7236/api/doc | jq .
### Step 2: Gather Requirements
Use AskUserQuestion to collect user preferences.
### Step 3: Delegate to Agent
Agent({
subagent_type: "plugin-name:agent-name",
prompt: "Task description with context"
})
### Step 4: Verify Results
Take screenshot and display to user.
```
**Bad Example:**
```markdown
## Implementation
Use the skill to do the task.
```
#### Agent Integration Checklist
Read the agent file and verify:
- [ ] **Clear Capabilities**: Does it define what it can do?
- [ ] **Skill Reference**: Does it explicitly reference the skill for API/implementation details?
- [ ] **Workflow Steps**: Does it outline the execution workflow?
- [ ] **Error Handling**: Does it mention how to handle errors?
- [ ] **Iteration**: Does it describe how to verify and refine results?
**Good Example:**
```markdown
## Your Workflow
1. Understand requirements
2. Check prerequisites
3. Plan approach (reference Skill for best practices)
4. Execute task (reference Skill for API details)
5. Verify results
6. Iterate if needed
Reference the {skill-name} skill for:
- API endpoints and usage
- Best practices
- Examples and patterns
```
**Bad Example:**
```markdown
## Your Workflow
Create the output based on user requirements.
```
#### Skill Quality Checklist
Verify the skill itself follows best practices:
- [ ] **Clear Description**: Triggers, use cases, and contexts (under 1024 chars)
- [ ] **API Documentation**: Complete endpoint reference with examples
- [ ] **Best Practices**: Guidelines for using the API/tool effectively
- [ ] **Examples**: Working code examples
- [ ] **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and solutions
- [ ] **No Workflow Logic**: Skill documents "how", not "when" or "what"
### Step 6: Generate Integration Report
Create a report showing:
1. **Plugin Context**
- Plugin name and version
- Skill location within plugin
2. **Integration Status**
- Commands that reference this skill
- Agents that reference this skill
- Standalone usage (if no references found)
3. **Architecture Compliance**
- ✅ Follows three-layer pattern
- ⚠️ Partial integration (missing command or agent)
- ❌ Poor integration (monolithic command, no separation)
4. **Recommendations**
- Specific improvements needed
- Examples of correct patterns
- Links to architecture documentation
## Report Format
```markdown
# Plugin Integration Report
## Plugin Information
- **Name**: {plugin-name}
- **Version**: {version}
- **Skill**: {skill-name}
## Integration Status
### Commands
{list of commands that reference this skill}
### Agents
{list of agents that reference this skill}
## Architecture Analysis
### Command Layer
- ✅ Prerequisites check
- ✅ User interaction
- ✅ Agent delegation
- ⚠️ Missing result verification
### Agent Layer
- ✅ Clear capabilities
- ✅ Skill reference
- ❌ No error handling mentioned
### Skill Layer
- ✅ API documentation
- ✅ Examples
- ✅ Best practices
## Recommendations
1. **Command Improvements**
- Add result verification step
- Example: Take screenshot after agent completes
2. **Agent Improvements**
- Add error handling section
- Example: "If API call fails, retry with exponential backoff"
3. **Overall Architecture**
- ✅ Follows three-layer pattern
- Consider adding more examples to skill
## Reference Documentation
See PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md for detailed guidance on:
- Three-layer architecture pattern
- Command orchestration best practices
- Agent execution patterns
- Skill documentation standards
```
## Implementation Details
### Detecting Integration Patterns
**Good Command Pattern:**
```bash
# Look for these patterns in command files
grep -E "(Agent\(|subagent_type|AskUserQuestion)" command.md
```
**Good Agent Pattern:**
```bash
# Look for skill references in agent files
grep -E "(reference.*skill|see.*skill|skill.*for)" agent.md -i
```
**Good Skill Pattern:**
```bash
# Check skill has API docs and examples
grep -E "(## API|### Endpoint|```bash|## Example)" skill.md
```
### Integration Scoring
Calculate an integration score:
```
Score = (Command Quality × 0.4) + (Agent Quality × 0.3) + (Skill Quality × 0.3)
Where each quality score is:
- 1.0 = Excellent (all checklist items passed)
- 0.7 = Good (most items passed)
- 0.4 = Fair (some items passed)
- 0.0 = Poor (few or no items passed)
```
**Interpretation:**
- 0.8-1.0: ✅ Excellent integration
- 0.6-0.8: ⚠️ Good but needs improvement
- 0.4-0.6: ⚠️ Fair, significant improvements needed
- 0.0-0.4: ❌ Poor integration, major refactoring needed
## Common Anti-Patterns to Detect
### ❌ Monolithic Command
```markdown
## Implementation
curl -X POST http://api/endpoint ...
# Command tries to do everything
```
**Fix:** Delegate to agent
### ❌ Agent Without Skill Reference
```markdown
## Your Workflow
1. Do the task
2. Return results
```
**Fix:** Add explicit skill references
### ❌ Skill With Workflow Logic
```markdown
## When to Use
First check if the service is running, then gather user requirements...
```
**Fix:** Move workflow to command, keep only "how to use API" in skill
## After Generating Report
1. **Display the report** to the user
2. **Offer to fix issues** if any are found
3. **Create/update ARCHITECTURE.md** in plugin root if it doesn't exist
4. **Update README.md** to include architecture section if missing
## Example Usage
```bash
# After creating a skill
/check-integration ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill
# Output:
# 🔍 Found plugin at: ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin
# Plugin: my-plugin v1.0.0
#
# 📋 Checking commands...
# Found: commands/do-task.md
#
# 🤖 Checking agents...
# Found: agents/task-executor.md
#
# ✅ Integration Analysis Complete
# Score: 0.85 (Excellent)
#
# See full report: my-plugin-integration-report.md
```
## Key Principles
1. **Automatic Detection**: Run automatically when skill path indicates plugin context
2. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Check all three layers (command, agent, skill)
3. **Actionable Feedback**: Provide specific recommendations with examples
4. **Architecture Enforcement**: Ensure plugins follow the three-layer pattern
5. **Documentation**: Generate reports and update plugin documentation
## Reference Files
For detailed architecture guidance, refer to:
- `PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md` - Three-layer architecture pattern
- `tldraw-helper/ARCHITECTURE.md` - Reference implementation
- `tldraw-helper/commands/draw.md` - Example command with proper integration
---
**Remember:** The goal is to ensure skills, commands, and agents work together seamlessly, with clear separation of concerns and proper delegation patterns.

## ⚠️ 需要改进的地方
### 1. Description 字段结构 (中等优先级)
**当前 description**:
```
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance.
Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill,
run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize
a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
```
**分析**:
- ✅ 说明了功能("Create new skills...")
- ✅ 说明了使用场景("Use when users want to...")
- ⚠️ **缺少具体的触发短语**
**建议改进**:
按照公式 `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`,添加用户可能说的具体短语:
```yaml
description: Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy. Triggers on phrases like "make a skill", "create a new skill", "improve this skill", "test my skill", "optimize skill description", or "turn this into a skill".
```
**新长度**: 约 480 字符(仍在 1024 限制内)
### 2. SKILL.md 行数 (低优先级)
**当前**: 502 行
**理想**: <500 行
**建议**:
- 当前超出仅 2 行,在可接受范围内
- 如果未来继续增长,可以考虑将某些章节移到 `references/` 中
- 候选章节:
- "Communicating with the user" (可移至 `references/communication_guide.md`)
- "Claude.ai-specific instructions" (可移至 `references/platform_adaptations.md`)
### 3. 参考文档目录 (低优先级)
**当前状态**:
- `constraints_and_rules.md`: 332 行 (>300 行)
- `schemas.md`: 430 行 (>300 行)
**建议**:
根据 `constraints_and_rules.md` 自己的规则:"大型参考文件(>300 行)应包含目录"
应为这两个文件添加目录(Table of Contents)。
### 4. 使用场景分类 (低优先级)
**观察**:
skill-creator 本身属于 **Category 2: Workflow Automation**(工作流程自动化)
**建议**:
可以在 SKILL.md 开头添加一个简短的元信息说明:
```markdown
**Skill Category**: Workflow Automation
**Use Case Pattern**: Multi-step skill creation, testing, and iteration workflow
```
这有助于用户理解这个技能的设计模式。

# Skill Creator Pro
Creates, improves, and tests Agent Skills for any domain — engineering, content creation, research, personal productivity, and beyond.
## Workflow Overview
```
Phase 1: Understand → Phase 2: Design → Phase 3: Write
Phase 4: Test → Phase 5: Improve → Phase 6: Optimize
```
Jump in at the right phase based on where the user is:
- "I want to make a skill for X" → Start at Phase 1
- "Here's my skill draft, help me improve it" → Start at Phase 4
- "My skill isn't triggering correctly" → Start at Phase 6
- "Just vibe with me" → Skip phases as needed, stay flexible
Cool? Cool.
## Communicating with the user
The skill creator is liable to be used by people across a wide range of familiarity with coding jargon. If you haven't heard (and how could you, it's only very recently that it started), there's a trend now where the power of Claude is inspiring plumbers to open up their terminals, parents and grandparents to google "how to install npm". On the other hand, the bulk of users are probably fairly computer-literate.
So please pay attention to context cues to understand how to phrase your communication! In the default case, just to give you some idea:
- "evaluation" and "benchmark" are borderline, but OK
- for "JSON" and "assertion" you want to see serious cues from the user that they know what those things are before using them without explaining them
It's OK to briefly explain terms if you're in doubt, and feel free to clarify terms with a short definition if you're unsure if the user will get it.
---
## Phase 1: Understand
This phase uses the Inversion pattern — ask first, build later. If the current conversation already contains a workflow the user wants to capture (e.g., "turn this into a skill"), extract answers from the conversation history first before asking.
Ask these questions **one at a time**, wait for each answer. DO NOT proceed to Phase 2 until all required questions are answered.
**Q1 (Required)**: What should this skill enable Claude to do?
**Q2 (Required)**: When should it trigger? What would a user say to invoke it?
**Q3 (Required)**: Which content pattern fits best?
Read `references/content-patterns.md` and recommend 1-2 patterns with brief reasoning. Let the user confirm before continuing.
**Q4**: What's the expected output format?
**Q5**: Should we set up test cases? Skills with objectively verifiable outputs (file transforms, data extraction, fixed workflows) benefit from test cases. Skills with subjective outputs (writing style, art direction) often don't need them. Suggest the appropriate default, but let the user decide.
**Gate**: All required questions answered + content pattern confirmed → proceed to Phase 2.
### Interview and Research
After the 5 questions, proactively ask about edge cases, input/output formats, example files, success criteria, and dependencies. Wait to write test prompts until you've got this part ironed out.
Check available MCPs — if useful for research (searching docs, finding similar skills, looking up best practices), research in parallel via subagents if available, otherwise inline.
---
## Phase 2: Design
Before writing, read:
- `references/content-patterns.md` — apply the confirmed pattern's structure
- `references/design_principles.md` — 5 principles to follow
- `references/patterns.md` — implementation patterns (config.json, gotchas, script reuse, etc.)
Decide:
- File structure needed (`scripts/` / `references/` / `assets/`)
- Whether `config.json` setup is needed (user needs to provide personal config)
- Whether on-demand hooks are needed
**Gate**: Design decisions clear → proceed to Phase 3.
---
## Phase 3: Write
Based on the interview and design decisions, write the SKILL.md.
### Components
- **name**: Skill identifier (kebab-case, no "claude" or "anthropic" — see `references/constraints_and_rules.md`)
- **description**: The primary triggering mechanism. Include what the skill does AND when to use it. Follow the formula: `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`. Under 1024 characters, no XML angle brackets. Make it slightly "pushy" to combat undertriggering — see `references/constraints_and_rules.md` for guidance.
- **compatibility**: Required tools/dependencies (optional, rarely needed)
- **the rest of the skill :)**
### Skill Writing Guide
**Before writing**, read:
- `references/content-patterns.md` — apply the confirmed pattern's structure to the SKILL.md body
- `references/design_principles.md` — 5 design principles
- `references/constraints_and_rules.md` — technical constraints, naming conventions
- Keep `references/quick_checklist.md` handy for pre-publication verification
#### Anatomy of a Skill
```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md (required)
│ ├── YAML frontmatter (name, description required)
│ └── Markdown instructions
└── Bundled Resources (optional)
├── scripts/ - Executable code for deterministic/repetitive tasks
├── references/ - Docs loaded into context as needed
└── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts)
```
#### Progressive Disclosure
Skills use a three-level loading system:
1. **Metadata** (name + description) - Always in context (~100 words)
2. **SKILL.md body** - In context whenever skill triggers (<500 lines ideal)
3. **Bundled resources** - As needed (unlimited, scripts can execute without loading)
These word counts are approximate and you can feel free to go longer if needed.
**Key patterns:**
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines; if you're approaching this limit, add an additional layer of hierarchy along with clear pointers about where the model using the skill should go next to follow up.
- Reference files clearly from SKILL.md with guidance on when to read them
- For large reference files (>300 lines), include a table of contents
**Domain organization**: When a skill supports multiple domains/frameworks, organize by variant:
```
cloud-deploy/
├── SKILL.md (workflow + selection)
└── references/
├── aws.md
├── gcp.md
└── azure.md
```
Claude reads only the relevant reference file.
#### Principle of Lack of Surprise
This goes without saying, but skills must not contain malware, exploit code, or any content that could compromise system security. A skill's contents should not surprise the user in their intent if described. Don't go along with requests to create misleading skills or skills designed to facilitate unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or other malicious activities. Things like a "roleplay as an XYZ" are OK though.
#### Writing Patterns
Prefer using the imperative form in instructions.
**Defining output formats** - You can do it like this:
```markdown
## Report structure
ALWAYS use this exact template:
# [Title]
## Executive summary
## Key findings
## Recommendations
```
**Examples pattern** - It's useful to include examples. You can format them like this (but if "Input" and "Output" are in the examples you might want to deviate a little):
```markdown
## Commit message format
**Example 1:**
Input: Added user authentication with JWT tokens
Output: feat(auth): implement JWT-based authentication
```
**Gotchas section** - Every skill should have one. Add it as you discover real failures:
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **[Problem]**: [What goes wrong] → [What to do instead]
```
**config.json setup** - If the skill needs user configuration, check for `config.json` at startup and use `AskUserQuestion` to collect missing values. See `references/patterns.md` for the standard flow.
### Writing Style
Try to explain to the model *why* things are important in lieu of heavy-handed musty MUSTs. Use theory of mind and try to make the skill general and not super-narrow to specific examples. Start by writing a draft and then look at it with fresh eyes and improve it.
If you find yourself stacking ALWAYS/NEVER, stop and ask: can I explain the reasoning instead? A skill that explains *why* is more robust than one that just issues commands.
**Gate**: Draft complete, checklist reviewed → proceed to Phase 4.
### Test Cases
After writing the skill draft, come up with 2-3 realistic test prompts — the kind of thing a real user would actually say. Share them with the user: [you don't have to use this exact language] "Here are a few test cases I'd like to try. Do these look right, or do you want to add more?" Then run them.
Save test cases to `evals/evals.json`. Don't write assertions yet — just the prompts. You'll draft assertions in the next step while the runs are in progress.
```json
{
"skill_name": "example-skill",
"evals": [
{
"id": 1,
"prompt": "User's task prompt",
"expected_output": "Description of expected result",
"files": []
}
]
}
```
See `references/schemas.md` for the full schema (including the `assertions` field, which you'll add later).
### Plugin Integration Check
**IMPORTANT**: After writing the skill draft, check if this skill is part of a Claude Code plugin. If the skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`, automatically perform a plugin integration check.
#### When to Check
Check plugin integration if:
- Skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`
- User mentions "plugin", "command", or "agent" in context
- You notice related commands or agents in the same directory structure
#### What to Check
1. **Detect Plugin Context**
```bash
# Look for plugin.json in parent directories
SKILL_DIR="path/to/skill"
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$SKILL_DIR")
while [ "$CURRENT_DIR" != "/" ]; do
if [ -f "$CURRENT_DIR/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" ]; then
echo "Found plugin at: $CURRENT_DIR"
break
fi
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$CURRENT_DIR")
done
```
2. **Check for Related Components**
- Look for `commands/` directory - are there commands that should use this skill?
- Look for `agents/` directory - are there agents that should reference this skill?
- Search for skill name in existing commands and agents
3. **Verify Three-Layer Architecture**
The plugin should follow this pattern:
```
Command (Orchestration) → Agent (Execution) → Skill (Knowledge)
```
**Command Layer** should:
- Check prerequisites (is service running?)
- Gather user requirements (use AskUserQuestion)
- Delegate complex work to agent
- Verify final results
**Agent Layer** should:
- Define clear capabilities
- Reference skill for API/implementation details
- Outline execution workflow
- Handle errors and iteration
**Skill Layer** should:
- Document API endpoints and usage
- Provide best practices
- Include examples
- Add troubleshooting guide
- NOT contain workflow logic (that's in commands)
4. **Generate Integration Report**
If this skill is part of a plugin, generate a brief report:
```markdown
## Plugin Integration Status
Plugin: {name} v{version}
Skill: {skill-name}
### Related Components
- Commands: {list or "none found"}
- Agents: {list or "none found"}
### Architecture Check
- [ ] Command orchestrates workflow
- [ ] Agent executes autonomously
- [ ] Skill documents knowledge
- [ ] Clear separation of concerns
### Recommendations
{specific suggestions if integration is incomplete}
```
5. **Offer to Fix Integration Issues**
If you find issues:
- Missing command that should orchestrate this skill
- Agent that doesn't reference the skill
- Command that tries to do everything (monolithic)
- Skill that contains workflow logic
Offer to create/fix these components following the three-layer pattern.
#### Example Integration Check
```bash
# After creating skill at: plugins/my-plugin/skills/api-helper/
# 1. Detect plugin
Found plugin: my-plugin v1.0.0
# 2. Check for related components
Commands found:
- commands/api-call.md (references api-helper ✅)
Agents found:
- agents/api-executor.md (references api-helper ✅)
# 3. Verify architecture
✅ Command delegates to agent
✅ Agent references skill
✅ Skill documents API only
✅ Clear separation of concerns
Integration Score: 0.9 (Excellent)
```
#### Reference Documentation
For detailed architecture guidance, see:
- `PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md` in project root
- `tldraw-helper/ARCHITECTURE.md` for reference implementation
- `tldraw-helper/commands/draw.md` for example command
**After integration check**, proceed with test cases as normal.
## Phase 4: Test
### Running and evaluating test cases
This section is one continuous sequence — don't stop partway through. Do NOT use `/skill-test` or any other testing skill.
Put results in `-workspace/` as a sibling to the skill directory. Within the workspace, organize results by iteration (`iteration-1/`, `iteration-2/`, etc.) and within that, each test case gets a directory (`eval-0/`, `eval-1/`, etc.). Don't create all of this upfront — just create directories as you go.
### Step 1: Spawn all runs (with-skill AND baseline) in the same turn
For each test case, spawn two subagents in the same turn — one with the skill, one without. This is important: don't spawn the with-skill runs first and then come back for baselines later. Launch everything at once so it all finishes around the same time.
**With-skill run:**
```
Execute this task:
- Skill path:
- Task:
- Input files:
- Save outputs to: /iteration-/eval-/with_skill/outputs/
- Outputs to save:
```
**Baseline run** (same prompt, but the baseline depends on context):
- **Creating a new skill**: no skill at all. Same prompt, no skill path, save to `without_skill/outputs/`.
- **Improving an existing skill**: the old version. Before editing, snapshot the skill (`cp -r /skill-snapshot/`), then point the baseline subagent at the snapshot. Save to `old_skill/outputs/`.
Write an `eval_metadata.json` for each test case (assertions can be empty for now). Give each eval a descriptive name based on what it's testing — not just "eval-0". Use this name for the directory too. If this iteration uses new or modified eval prompts, create these files for each new eval directory — don't assume they carry over from previous iterations.
```json
{
"eval_id": 0,
"eval_name": "descriptive-name-here",
"prompt": "The user's task prompt",
"assertions": []
}
```
### Step 2: While runs are in progress, draft assertions
Don't just wait for the runs to finish — you can use this time productively. Draft quantitative assertions for each test case and explain them to the user. If assertions already exist in `evals/evals.json`, review them and explain what they check.
Good assertions are objectively verifiable and have descriptive names — they should read clearly in the benchmark viewer so someone glancing at the results immediately understands what each one checks. Subjective skills (writing style, design quality) are better evaluated qualitatively — don't force assertions onto things that need human judgment.
Update the `eval_metadata.json` files and `evals/evals.json` with the assertions once drafted. Also explain to the user what they'll see in the viewer — both the qualitative outputs and the quantitative benchmark.
### Step 3: As runs complete, capture timing data
When each subagent task completes, you receive a notification containing `total_tokens` and `duration_ms`. Save this data immediately to `timing.json` in the run directory:
```json
{
"total_tokens": 84852,
"duration_ms": 23332,
"total_duration_seconds": 23.3
}
```
This is the only opportunity to capture this data — it comes through the task notification and isn't persisted elsewhere. Process each notification as it arrives rather than trying to batch them.
### Step 4: Grade, aggregate, and launch the viewer
Once all runs are done:
1. **Grade each run** — spawn a grader subagent (or grade inline) that reads `agents/grader.md` and evaluates each assertion against the outputs. Save results to `grading.json` in each run directory. The grading.json expectations array must use the fields `text`, `passed`, and `evidence` (not `name`/`met`/`details` or other variants) — the viewer depends on these exact field names. For assertions that can be checked programmatically, write and run a script rather than eyeballing it — scripts are faster, more reliable, and can be reused across iterations.
2. **Aggregate into benchmark** — run the aggregation script from the skill-creator directory:
```bash
python -m scripts.aggregate_benchmark /iteration-N --skill-name
```
This produces `benchmark.json` and `benchmark.md` with pass_rate, time, and tokens for each configuration, with mean ± stddev and the delta. If generating benchmark.json manually, see `references/schemas.md` for the exact schema the viewer expects.
Put each with_skill version before its baseline counterpart.
3. **Do an analyst pass** — read the benchmark data and surface patterns the aggregate stats might hide. See `agents/analyzer.md` (the "Analyzing Benchmark Results" section) for what to look for — things like assertions that always pass regardless of skill (non-discriminating), high-variance evals (possibly flaky), and time/token tradeoffs.
4. **Launch the viewer** with both qualitative outputs and quantitative data:
```bash
nohup python /eval-viewer/generate_review.py \
/iteration-N \
--skill-name "my-skill" \
--benchmark /iteration-N/benchmark.json \
> /dev/null 2>&1 &
VIEWER_PID=$!
```
For iteration 2+, also pass `--previous-workspace /iteration-`.
**Cowork / headless environments:** If `webbrowser.open()` is not available or the environment has no display, use `--static ` to write a standalone HTML file instead of starting a server. Feedback will be downloaded as a `feedback.json` file when the user clicks "Submit All Reviews". After download, copy `feedback.json` into the workspace directory for the next iteration to pick up.
Note: please use generate_review.py to create the viewer; there's no need to write custom HTML.
5. **Tell the user** something like: "I've opened the results in your browser. There are two tabs — 'Outputs' lets you click through each test case and leave feedback, 'Benchmark' shows the quantitative comparison. When you're done, come back here and let me know."
### What the user sees in the viewer
The "Outputs" tab shows one test case at a time:
- **Prompt**: the task that was given
- **Output**: the files the skill produced, rendered inline where possible
- **Previous Output** (iteration 2+): collapsed section showing last iteration's output
- **Formal Grades** (if grading was run): collapsed section showing assertion pass/fail
- **Feedback**: a textbox that auto-saves as they type
- **Previous Feedback** (iteration 2+): their comments from last time, shown below the textbox
The "Benchmark" tab shows the stats summary: pass rates, timing, and token usage for each configuration, with per-eval breakdowns and analyst observations.
Navigation is via prev/next buttons or arrow keys. When done, they click "Submit All Reviews" which saves all feedback to `feedback.json`.
### Step 5: Read the feedback
When the user tells you they're done, read `feedback.json`:
```json
{
"reviews": [
{"run_id": "eval-0-with_skill", "feedback": "the chart is missing axis labels", "timestamp": "..."},
{"run_id": "eval-1-with_skill", "feedback": "", "timestamp": "..."},
{"run_id": "eval-2-with_skill", "feedback": "perfect, love this", "timestamp": "..."}
],
"status": "complete"
}
```
Empty feedback means the user thought it was fine. Focus your improvements on the test cases where the user had specific complaints.
Kill the viewer server when you're done with it:
```bash
kill $VIEWER_PID 2>/dev/null
```
---
## Phase 5: Improve
### Improving the skill
This is the heart of the loop. You've run the test cases, the user has reviewed the results, and now you need to make the skill better based on their feedback.
### How to think about improvements
1. **Generalize from the feedback.** The big picture thing that's happening here is that we're trying to create skills that can be used a million times (maybe literally, maybe even more who knows) across many different prompts. Here you and the user are iterating on only a few examples over and over again because it helps move faster. The user knows these examples in and out and it's quick for them to assess new outputs. But if the skill you and the user are codeveloping works only for those examples, it's useless. Rather than put in fiddly overfitty changes, or oppressively constrictive MUSTs, if there's some stubborn issue, you might try branching out and using different metaphors, or recommending different patterns of working. It's relatively cheap to try and maybe you'll land on something great.
2. **Keep the prompt lean.** Remove things that aren't pulling their weight. Make sure to read the transcripts, not just the final outputs — if it looks like the skill is making the model waste a bunch of time doing things that are unproductive, you can try getting rid of the parts of the skill that are making it do that and seeing what happens.
3. **Explain the why.** Try hard to explain the **why** behind everything you're asking the model to do. Today's LLMs are *smart*. They have good theory of mind and when given a good harness can go beyond rote instructions and really make things happen. Even if the feedback from the user is terse or frustrated, try to actually understand the task and why the user is writing what they wrote, and what they actually wrote, and then transmit this understanding into the instructions. If you find yourself writing ALWAYS or NEVER in all caps, or using super rigid structures, that's a yellow flag — if possible, reframe and explain the reasoning so that the model understands why the thing you're asking for is important. That's a more humane, powerful, and effective approach.
4. **Look for repeated work across test cases.** Read the transcripts from the test runs and notice if the subagents all independently wrote similar helper scripts or took the same multi-step approach to something. If all 3 test cases resulted in the subagent writing a `create_docx.py` or a `build_chart.py`, that's a strong signal the skill should bundle that script. Write it once, put it in `scripts/`, and tell the skill to use it. This saves every future invocation from reinventing the wheel.
This task is pretty important (we are trying to create billions a year in economic value here!) and your thinking time is not the blocker; take your time and really mull things over. I'd suggest writing a draft revision and then looking at it anew and making improvements. Really do your best to get into the head of the user and understand what they want and need.
### The iteration loop
After improving the skill:
1. Apply your improvements to the skill
2. Rerun all test cases into a new `iteration-/` directory, including baseline runs. If you're creating a new skill, the baseline is always `without_skill` (no skill) — that stays the same across iterations. If you're improving an existing skill, use your judgment on what makes sense as the baseline: the original version the user came in with, or the previous iteration.
3. Launch the reviewer with `--previous-workspace` pointing at the previous iteration
4. Wait for the user to review and tell you they're done
5. Read the new feedback, improve again, repeat
Keep going until:
- The user says they're happy
- The feedback is all empty (everything looks good)
- You're not making meaningful progress
---
## Advanced: Blind comparison
For situations where you want a more rigorous comparison between two versions of a skill (e.g., the user asks "is the new version actually better?"), there's a blind comparison system. Read `agents/comparator.md` and `agents/analyzer.md` for the details. The basic idea is: give two outputs to an independent agent without telling it which is which, and let it judge quality. Then analyze why the winner won.
This is optional, requires subagents, and most users won't need it. The human review loop is usually sufficient.
---
## Phase 6: Optimize Description
### Description Optimization
The description field in SKILL.md frontmatter is the primary mechanism that determines whether Claude invokes a skill. After creating or improving a skill, offer to optimize the description for better triggering accuracy.
### Step 1: Generate trigger eval queries
Create 20 eval queries — a mix of should-trigger and should-not-trigger. Save as JSON:
```json
[
{"query": "the user prompt", "should_trigger": true},
{"query": "another prompt", "should_trigger": false}
]
```
The queries must be realistic and something a Claude Code or Claude.ai user would actually type. Not abstract requests, but requests that are concrete and specific and have a good amount of detail. For instance, file paths, personal context about the user's job or situation, column names and values, company names, URLs. A little bit of backstory. Some might be in lowercase or contain abbreviations or typos or casual speech. Use a mix of different lengths, and focus on edge cases rather than making them clear-cut (the user will get a chance to sign off on them).
Bad: `"Format this data"`, `"Extract text from PDF"`, `"Create a chart"`
Good: `"ok so my boss just sent me this xlsx file (its in my downloads, called something like 'Q4 sales final FINAL v2.xlsx') and she wants me to add a column that shows the profit margin as a percentage. The revenue is in column C and costs are in column D i think"`
For the **should-trigger** queries (8-10), think about coverage. You want different phrasings of the same intent — some formal, some casual. Include cases where the user doesn't explicitly name the skill or file type but clearly needs it. Throw in some uncommon use cases and cases where this skill competes with another but should win.
For the **should-not-trigger** queries (8-10), the most valuable ones are the near-misses — queries that share keywords or concepts with the skill but actually need something different. Think adjacent domains, ambiguous phrasing where a naive keyword match would trigger but shouldn't, and cases where the query touches on something the skill does but in a context where another tool is more appropriate.
The key thing to avoid: don't make should-not-trigger queries obviously irrelevant. "Write a fibonacci function" as a negative test for a PDF skill is too easy — it doesn't test anything. The negative cases should be genuinely tricky.
### Step 2: Review with user
Present the eval set to the user for review using the HTML template:
1. Read the template from `assets/eval_review.html`
2. Replace the placeholders:
- `__EVAL_DATA_PLACEHOLDER__` → the JSON array of eval items (no quotes around it — it's a JS variable assignment)
- `__SKILL_NAME_PLACEHOLDER__` → the skill's name
- `__SKILL_DESCRIPTION_PLACEHOLDER__` → the skill's current description
3. Write to a temp file (e.g., `/tmp/eval_review_.html`) and open it: `open /tmp/eval_review_.html`
4. The user can edit queries, toggle should-trigger, add/remove entries, then click "Export Eval Set"
5. The file downloads to `~/Downloads/eval_set.json` — check the Downloads folder for the most recent version in case there are multiple (e.g., `eval_set (1).json`)
This step matters — bad eval queries lead to bad descriptions.
### Step 3: Run the optimization loop
Tell the user: "This will take some time — I'll run the optimization loop in the background and check on it periodically."
Save the eval set to the workspace, then run in the background:
```bash
python -m scripts.run_loop \
--eval-set \
--skill-path \
--model \
--max-iterations 5 \
--verbose
```
Use the model ID from your system prompt (the one powering the current session) so the triggering test matches what the user actually experiences.
While it runs, periodically tail the output to give the user updates on which iteration it's on and what the scores look like.
This handles the full optimization loop automatically. It splits the eval set into 60% train and 40% held-out test, evaluates the current description (running each query 3 times to get a reliable trigger rate), then calls Claude with extended thinking to propose improvements based on what failed. It re-evaluates each new description on both train and test, iterating up to 5 times. When it's done, it opens an HTML report in the browser showing the results per iteration and returns JSON with `best_description` — selected by test score rather than train score to avoid overfitting.
### How skill triggering works
Understanding the triggering mechanism helps design better eval queries. Skills appear in Claude's `available_skills` list with their name + description, and Claude decides whether to consult a skill based on that description. The important thing to know is that Claude only consults skills for tasks it can't easily handle on its own — simple, one-step queries like "read this PDF" may not trigger a skill even if the description matches perfectly, because Claude can handle them directly with basic tools. Complex, multi-step, or specialized queries reliably trigger skills when the description matches.
This means your eval queries should be substantive enough that Claude would actually benefit from consulting a skill. Simple queries like "read file X" are poor test cases — they won't trigger skills regardless of description quality.
### Step 4: Apply the result
Take `best_description` from the JSON output and update the skill's SKILL.md frontmatter. Show the user before/after and report the scores.
---
### Final Quality Check
Before packaging, run through `references/quick_checklist.md` to verify:
- All technical constraints met (naming, character limits, forbidden terms)
- Description follows the formula: `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`
- File structure correct (SKILL.md capitalization, kebab-case folders)
- Security requirements satisfied (no malware, no misleading functionality)
- Quantitative success criteria achieved (90%+ trigger rate, efficient tool usage)
- Design principles applied (Progressive Disclosure, Composability, Portability)
This checklist helps catch common issues before publication.
---
### Package and Present (only if `present_files` tool is available)
Check whether you have access to the `present_files` tool. If you don't, skip this step. If you do, package the skill and present the .skill file to the user:
```bash
python -m scripts.package_skill
```
After packaging, direct the user to the resulting `.skill` file path so they can install it.
---
## Claude.ai-specific instructions
In Claude.ai, the core workflow is the same (draft → test → review → improve → repeat), but because Claude.ai doesn't have subagents, some mechanics change. Here's what to adapt:
**Running test cases**: No subagents means no parallel execution. For each test case, read the skill's SKILL.md, then follow its instructions to accomplish the test prompt yourself. Do them one at a time. This is less rigorous than independent subagents (you wrote the skill and you're also running it, so you have full context), but it's a useful sanity check — and the human review step compensates. Skip the baseline runs — just use the skill to complete the task as requested.
**Reviewing results**: If you can't open a browser (e.g., Claude.ai's VM has no display, or you're on a remote server), skip the browser reviewer entirely. Instead, present results directly in the conversation. For each test case, show the prompt and the output. If the output is a file the user needs to see (like a .docx or .xlsx), save it to the filesystem and tell them where it is so they can download and inspect it. Ask for feedback inline: "How does this look? Anything you'd change?"
**Benchmarking**: Skip the quantitative benchmarking — it relies on baseline comparisons which aren't meaningful without subagents. Focus on qualitative feedback from the user.
**The iteration loop**: Same as before — improve the skill, rerun the test cases, ask for feedback — just without the browser reviewer in the middle. You can still organize results into iteration directories on the filesystem if you have one.
**Description optimization**: This section requires the `claude` CLI tool (specifically `claude -p`) which is only available in Claude Code. Skip it if you're on Claude.ai.
**Blind comparison**: Requires subagents. Skip it.
**Packaging**: The `package_skill.py` script works anywhere with Python and a filesystem. On Claude.ai, you can run it and the user can download the resulting `.skill` file.
---
## Cowork-Specific Instructions
If you're in Cowork, the main things to know are:
- You have subagents, so the main workflow (spawn test cases in parallel, run baselines, grade, etc.) all works. (However, if you run into severe problems with timeouts, it's OK to run the test prompts in series rather than parallel.)
- You don't have a browser or display, so when generating the eval viewer, use `--static ` to write a standalone HTML file instead of starting a server. Then proffer a link that the user can click to open the HTML in their browser.
- For whatever reason, the Cowork setup seems to disincline Claude from generating the eval viewer after running the tests, so just to reiterate: whether you're in Cowork or in Claude Code, after running tests, you should always generate the eval viewer for the human to look at examples before revising the skill yourself and trying to make corrections, using `generate_review.py` (not writing your own boutique html code). Sorry in advance but I'm gonna go all caps here: GENERATE THE EVAL VIEWER *BEFORE* evaluating inputs yourself. You want to get them in front of the human ASAP!
- Feedback works differently: since there's no running server, the viewer's "Submit All Reviews" button will download `feedback.json` as a file. You can then read it from there (you may have to request access first).
- Packaging works — `package_skill.py` just needs Python and a filesystem.
- Description optimization (`run_loop.py` / `run_eval.py`) should work in Cowork just fine since it uses `claude -p` via subprocess, not a browser, but please save it until you've fully finished making the skill and the user agrees it's in good shape.
---
## Reference files
The agents/ directory contains instructions for specialized subagents. Read them when you need to spawn the relevant subagent.
- `agents/grader.md` — How to evaluate assertions against outputs
- `agents/comparator.md` — How to do blind A/B comparison between two outputs
- `agents/analyzer.md` — How to analyze why one version beat another
The references/ directory has additional documentation:
- `references/design_principles.md` — Core design principles (Progressive Disclosure, Composability, Portability) and three common use case patterns (Document Creation, Workflow Automation, MCP Enhancement)
- `references/constraints_and_rules.md` — Technical constraints, naming conventions, security requirements, and quantitative success criteria
- `references/quick_checklist.md` — Comprehensive pre-publication checklist covering file structure, frontmatter, testing, and quality tiers
- `references/schemas.md` — JSON structures for evals.json, grading.json, etc.
---
Repeating one more time the core loop here for emphasis:
- Figure out what the skill is about
- Draft or edit the skill
- Run claude-with-access-to-the-skill on test prompts
- With the user, evaluate the outputs:
- Create benchmark.json and run `eval-viewer/generate_review.py` to help the user review them
- Run quantitative evals
- Repeat until you and the user are satisfied
- Package the final skill and return it to the user.
Please add steps to your TodoList, if you have such a thing, to make sure you don't forget. If you're in Cowork, please specifically put "Create evals JSON and run `eval-viewer/generate_review.py` so human can review test cases" in your TodoList to make sure it happens.
Good luck!

================================================
# Post-hoc Analyzer Agent
Analyze blind comparison results to understand WHY the winner won and generate improvement suggestions.
## Role
After the blind comparator determines a winner, the Post-hoc Analyzer "unblids" the results by examining the skills and transcripts. The goal is to extract actionable insights: what made the winner better, and how can the loser be improved?
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **winner**: "A" or "B" (from blind comparison)
- **winner_skill_path**: Path to the skill that produced the winning output
- **winner_transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript for the winner
- **loser_skill_path**: Path to the skill that produced the losing output
- **loser_transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript for the loser
- **comparison_result_path**: Path to the blind comparator's output JSON
- **output_path**: Where to save the analysis results
## Process
### Step 1: Read Comparison Result
1. Read the blind comparator's output at comparison_result_path
2. Note the winning side (A or B), the reasoning, and any scores
3. Understand what the comparator valued in the winning output
### Step 2: Read Both Skills
1. Read the winner skill's SKILL.md and key referenced files
2. Read the loser skill's SKILL.md and key referenced files
3. Identify structural differences:
- Instructions clarity and specificity
- Script/tool usage patterns
- Example coverage
- Edge case handling
### Step 3: Read Both Transcripts
1. Read the winner's transcript
2. Read the loser's transcript
3. Compare execution patterns:
- How closely did each follow their skill's instructions?
- What tools were used differently?
- Where did the loser diverge from optimal behavior?
- Did either encounter errors or make recovery attempts?
### Step 4: Analyze Instruction Following
For each transcript, evaluate:
- Did the agent follow the skill's explicit instructions?
- Did the agent use the skill's provided tools/scripts?
- Were there missed opportunities to leverage skill content?
- Did the agent add unnecessary steps not in the skill?
Score instruction following 1-10 and note specific issues.
### Step 5: Identify Winner Strengths
Determine what made the winner better:
- Clearer instructions that led to better behavior?
- Better scripts/tools that produced better output?
- More comprehensive examples that guided edge cases?
- Better error handling guidance?
Be specific. Quote from skills/transcripts where relevant.
### Step 6: Identify Loser Weaknesses
Determine what held the loser back:
- Ambiguous instructions that led to suboptimal choices?
- Missing tools/scripts that forced workarounds?
- Gaps in edge case coverage?
- Poor error handling that caused failures?
### Step 7: Generate Improvement Suggestions
Based on the analysis, produce actionable suggestions for improving the loser skill:
- Specific instruction changes to make
- Tools/scripts to add or modify
- Examples to include
- Edge cases to address
Prioritize by impact. Focus on changes that would have changed the outcome.
### Step 8: Write Analysis Results
Save structured analysis to `{output_path}`.
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"comparison_summary": {
"winner": "A",
"winner_skill": "path/to/winner/skill",
"loser_skill": "path/to/loser/skill",
"comparator_reasoning": "Brief summary of why comparator chose winner"
},
"winner_strengths": [
"Clear step-by-step instructions for handling multi-page documents",
"Included validation script that caught formatting errors",
"Explicit guidance on fallback behavior when OCR fails"
],
"loser_weaknesses": [
"Vague instruction 'process the document appropriately' led to inconsistent behavior",
"No script for validation, agent had to improvise and made errors",
"No guidance on OCR failure, agent gave up instead of trying alternatives"
],
"instruction_following": {
"winner": {
"score": 9,
"issues": [
"Minor: skipped optional logging step"
]
},
"loser": {
"score": 6,
"issues": [
"Did not use the skill's formatting template",
"Invented own approach instead of following step 3",
"Missed the 'always validate output' instruction"
]
}
},
"improvement_suggestions": [
{
"priority": "high",
"category": "instructions",
"suggestion": "Replace 'process the document appropriately' with explicit steps: 1) Extract text, 2) Identify sections, 3) Format per template",
"expected_impact": "Would eliminate ambiguity that caused inconsistent behavior"
},
{
"priority": "high",
"category": "tools",
"suggestion": "Add validate_output.py script similar to winner skill's validation approach",
"expected_impact": "Would catch formatting errors before final output"
},
{
"priority": "medium",
"category": "error_handling",
"suggestion": "Add fallback instructions: 'If OCR fails, try: 1) different resolution, 2) image preprocessing, 3) manual extraction'",
"expected_impact": "Would prevent early failure on difficult documents"
}
],
"transcript_insights": {
"winner_execution_pattern": "Read skill -> Followed 5-step process -> Used validation script -> Fixed 2 issues -> Produced output",
"loser_execution_pattern": "Read skill -> Unclear on approach -> Tried 3 different methods -> No validation -> Output had errors"
}
}
```
## Guidelines
- **Be specific**: Quote from skills and transcripts, don't just say "instructions were unclear"
- **Be actionable**: Suggestions should be concrete changes, not vague advice
- **Focus on skill improvements**: The goal is to improve the losing skill, not critique the agent
- **Prioritize by impact**: Which changes would most likely have changed the outcome?
- **Consider causation**: Did the skill weakness actually cause the worse output, or is it incidental?
- **Stay objective**: Analyze what happened, don't editorialize
- **Think about generalization**: Would this improvement help on other evals too?
## Categories for Suggestions
Use these categories to organize improvement suggestions:
| Category | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `instructions` | Changes to the skill's prose instructions |
| `tools` | Scripts, templates, or utilities to add/modify |
| `examples` | Example inputs/outputs to include |
| `error_handling` | Guidance for handling failures |
| `structure` | Reorganization of skill content |
| `references` | External docs or resources to add |
## Priority Levels
- **high**: Would likely change the outcome of this comparison
- **medium**: Would improve quality but may not change win/loss
- **low**: Nice to have, marginal improvement
---
# Analyzing Benchmark Results
When analyzing benchmark results, the analyzer's purpose is to **surface patterns and anomalies** across multiple runs, not suggest skill improvements.
## Role
Review all benchmark run results and generate freeform notes that help the user understand skill performance. Focus on patterns that wouldn't be visible from aggregate metrics alone.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **benchmark_data_path**: Path to the in-progress benchmark.json with all run results
- **skill_path**: Path to the skill being benchmarked
- **output_path**: Where to save the notes (as JSON array of strings)
## Process
### Step 1: Read Benchmark Data
1. Read the benchmark.json containing all run results
2. Note the configurations tested (with_skill, without_skill)
3. Understand the run_summary aggregates already calculated
### Step 2: Analyze Per-Assertion Patterns
For each expectation across all runs:
- Does it **always pass** in both configurations? (may not differentiate skill value)
- Does it **always fail** in both configurations? (may be broken or beyond capability)
- Does it **always pass with skill but fail without**? (skill clearly adds value here)
- Does it **always fail with skill but pass without**? (skill may be hurting)
- Is it **highly variable**? (flaky expectation or non-deterministic behavior)
### Step 3: Analyze Cross-Eval Patterns
Look for patterns across evals:
- Are certain eval types consistently harder/easier?
- Do some evals show high variance while others are stable?
- Are there surprising results that contradict expectations?
### Step 4: Analyze Metrics Patterns
Look at time_seconds, tokens, tool_calls:
- Does the skill significantly increase execution time?
- Is there high variance in resource usage?
- Are there outlier runs that skew the aggregates?
### Step 5: Generate Notes
Write freeform observations as a list of strings. Each note should:
- State a specific observation
- Be grounded in the data (not speculation)
- Help the user understand something the aggregate metrics don't show
Examples:
- "Assertion 'Output is a PDF file' passes 100% in both configurations - may not differentiate skill value"
- "Eval 3 shows high variance (50% ± 40%) - run 2 had an unusual failure that may be flaky"
- "Without-skill runs consistently fail on table extraction expectations (0% pass rate)"
- "Skill adds 13s average execution time but improves pass rate by 50%"
- "Token usage is 80% higher with skill, primarily due to script output parsing"
- "All 3 without-skill runs for eval 1 produced empty output"
### Step 6: Write Notes
Save notes to `{output_path}` as a JSON array of strings:
```json
[
"Assertion 'Output is a PDF file' passes 100% in both configurations - may not differentiate skill value",
"Eval 3 shows high variance (50% ± 40%) - run 2 had an unusual failure",
"Without-skill runs consistently fail on table extraction expectations",
"Skill adds 13s average execution time but improves pass rate by 50%"
]
```
## Guidelines
**DO:**
- Report what you observe in the data
- Be specific about which evals, expectations, or runs you're referring to
- Note patterns that aggregate metrics would hide
- Provide context that helps interpret the numbers
**DO NOT:**
- Suggest improvements to the skill (that's for the improvement step, not benchmarking)
- Make subjective quality judgments ("the output was good/bad")
- Speculate about causes without evidence
- Repeat information already in the run_summary aggregates

================================================
# Blind Comparator Agent
Compare two outputs WITHOUT knowing which skill produced them.
## Role
The Blind Comparator judges which output better accomplishes the eval task. You receive two outputs labeled A and B, but you do NOT know which skill produced which. This prevents bias toward a particular skill or approach.
Your judgment is based purely on output quality and task completion.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **output_a_path**: Path to the first output file or directory
- **output_b_path**: Path to the second output file or directory
- **eval_prompt**: The original task/prompt that was executed
- **expectations**: List of expectations to check (optional - may be empty)
## Process
### Step 1: Read Both Outputs
1. Examine output A (file or directory)
2. Examine output B (file or directory)
3. Note the type, structure, and content of each
4. If outputs are directories, examine all relevant files inside
### Step 2: Understand the Task
1. Read the eval_prompt carefully
2. Identify what the task requires:
- What should be produced?
- What qualities matter (accuracy, completeness, format)?
- What would distinguish a good output from a poor one?
### Step 3: Generate Evaluation Rubric
Based on the task, generate a rubric with two dimensions:
**Content Rubric** (what the output contains):
| Criterion | 1 (Poor) | 3 (Acceptable) | 5 (Excellent) |
|-----------|----------|----------------|---------------|
| Correctness | Major errors | Minor errors | Fully correct |
| Completeness | Missing key elements | Mostly complete | All elements present |
| Accuracy | Significant inaccuracies | Minor inaccuracies | Accurate throughout |
**Structure Rubric** (how the output is organized):
| Criterion | 1 (Poor) | 3 (Acceptable) | 5 (Excellent) |
|-----------|----------|----------------|---------------|
| Organization | Disorganized | Reasonably organized | Clear, logical structure |
| Formatting | Inconsistent/broken | Mostly consistent | Professional, polished |
| Usability | Difficult to use | Usable with effort | Easy to use |
Adapt criteria to the specific task. For example:
- PDF form → "Field alignment", "Text readability", "Data placement"
- Document → "Section structure", "Heading hierarchy", "Paragraph flow"
- Data output → "Schema correctness", "Data types", "Completeness"
### Step 4: Evaluate Each Output Against the Rubric
For each output (A and B):
1. **Score each criterion** on the rubric (1-5 scale)
2. **Calculate dimension totals**: Content score, Structure score
3. **Calculate overall score**: Average of dimension scores, scaled to 1-10
### Step 5: Check Assertions (if provided)
If expectations are provided:
1. Check each expectation against output A
2. Check each expectation against output B
3. Count pass rates for each output
4. Use expectation scores as secondary evidence (not the primary decision factor)
### Step 6: Determine the Winner
Compare A and B based on (in priority order):
1. **Primary**: Overall rubric score (content + structure)
2. **Secondary**: Assertion pass rates (if applicable)
3. **Tiebreaker**: If truly equal, declare a TIE
Be decisive - ties should be rare. One output is usually better, even if marginally.
### Step 7: Write Comparison Results
Save results to a JSON file at the path specified (or `comparison.json` if not specified).
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"winner": "A",
"reasoning": "Output A provides a complete solution with proper formatting and all required fields. Output B is missing the date field and has formatting inconsistencies.",
"rubric": {
"A": {
"content": {
"correctness": 5,
"completeness": 5,
"accuracy": 4
},
"structure": {
"organization": 4,
"formatting": 5,
"usability": 4
},
"content_score": 4.7,
"structure_score": 4.3,
"overall_score": 9.0
},
"B": {
"content": {
"correctness": 3,
"completeness": 2,
"accuracy": 3
},
"structure": {
"organization": 3,
"formatting": 2,
"usability": 3
},
"content_score": 2.7,
"structure_score": 2.7,
"overall_score": 5.4
}
},
"output_quality": {
"A": {
"score": 9,
"strengths": ["Complete solution", "Well-formatted", "All fields present"],
"weaknesses": ["Minor style inconsistency in header"]
},
"B": {
"score": 5,
"strengths": ["Readable output", "Correct basic structure"],
"weaknesses": ["Missing date field", "Formatting inconsistencies", "Partial data extraction"]
}
},
"expectation_results": {
"A": {
"passed": 4,
"total": 5,
"pass_rate": 0.80,
"details": [
{"text": "Output includes name", "passed": true},
{"text": "Output includes date", "passed": true},
{"text": "Format is PDF", "passed": true},
{"text": "Contains signature", "passed": false},
{"text": "Readable text", "passed": true}
]
},
"B": {
"passed": 3,
"total": 5,
"pass_rate": 0.60,
"details": [
{"text": "Output includes name", "passed": true},
{"text": "Output includes date", "passed": false},
{"text": "Format is PDF", "passed": true},
{"text": "Contains signature", "passed": false},
{"text": "Readable text", "passed": true}
]
}
}
}
```
If no expectations were provided, omit the `expectation_results` field entirely.
## Field Descriptions
- **winner**: "A", "B", or "TIE"
- **reasoning**: Clear explanation of why the winner was chosen (or why it's a tie)
- **rubric**: Structured rubric evaluation for each output
- **content**: Scores for content criteria (correctness, completeness, accuracy)
- **structure**: Scores for structure criteria (organization, formatting, usability)
- **content_score**: Average of content criteria (1-5)
- **structure_score**: Average of structure criteria (1-5)
- **overall_score**: Combined score scaled to 1-10
- **output_quality**: Summary quality assessment
- **score**: 1-10 rating (should match rubric overall_score)
- **strengths**: List of positive aspects
- **weaknesses**: List of issues or shortcomings
- **expectation_results**: (Only if expectations provided)
- **passed**: Number of expectations that passed
- **total**: Total number of expectations
- **pass_rate**: Fraction passed (0.0 to 1.0)
- **details**: Individual expectation results
## Guidelines
- **Stay blind**: DO NOT try to infer which skill produced which output. Judge purely on output quality.
- **Be specific**: Cite specific examples when explaining strengths and weaknesses.
- **Be decisive**: Choose a winner unless outputs are genuinely equivalent.
- **Output quality first**: Assertion scores are secondary to overall task completion.
- **Be objective**: Don't favor outputs based on style preferences; focus on correctness and completeness.
- **Explain your reasoning**: The reasoning field should make it clear why you chose the winner.
- **Handle edge cases**: If both outputs fail, pick the one that fails less badly. If both are excellent, pick the one that's marginally better.

================================================
# Grader Agent
Evaluate expectations against an execution transcript and outputs.
## Role
The Grader reviews a transcript and output files, then determines whether each expectation passes or fails. Provide clear evidence for each judgment.
You have two jobs: grade the outputs, and critique the evals themselves. A passing grade on a weak assertion is worse than useless — it creates false confidence. When you notice an assertion that's trivially satisfied, or an important outcome that no assertion checks, say so.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **expectations**: List of expectations to evaluate (strings)
- **transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript (markdown file)
- **outputs_dir**: Directory containing output files from execution
## Process
### Step 1: Read the Transcript
1. Read the transcript file completely
2. Note the eval prompt, execution steps, and final result
3. Identify any issues or errors documented
### Step 2: Examine Output Files
1. List files in outputs_dir
2. Read/examine each file relevant to the expectations. If outputs aren't plain text, use the inspection tools provided in your prompt — don't rely solely on what the transcript says the executor produced.
3. Note contents, structure, and quality
### Step 3: Evaluate Each Assertion
For each expectation:
1. **Search for evidence** in the transcript and outputs
2. **Determine verdict**:
- **PASS**: Clear evidence the expectation is true AND the evidence reflects genuine task completion, not just surface-level compliance
- **FAIL**: No evidence, or evidence contradicts the expectation, or the evidence is superficial (e.g., correct filename but empty/wrong content)
3. **Cite the evidence**: Quote the specific text or describe what you found
### Step 4: Extract and Verify Claims
Beyond the predefined expectations, extract implicit claims from the outputs and verify them:
1. **Extract claims** from the transcript and outputs:
- Factual statements ("The form has 12 fields")
- Process claims ("Used pypdf to fill the form")
- Quality claims ("All fields were filled correctly")
2. **Verify each claim**:
- **Factual claims**: Can be checked against the outputs or external sources
- **Process claims**: Can be verified from the transcript
- **Quality claims**: Evaluate whether the claim is justified
3. **Flag unverifiable claims**: Note claims that cannot be verified with available information
This catches issues that predefined expectations might miss.
### Step 5: Read User Notes
If `{outputs_dir}/user_notes.md` exists:
1. Read it and note any uncertainties or issues flagged by the executor
2. Include relevant concerns in the grading output
3. These may reveal problems even when expectations pass
### Step 6: Critique the Evals
After grading, consider whether the evals themselves could be improved. Only surface suggestions when there's a clear gap.
Good suggestions test meaningful outcomes — assertions that are hard to satisfy without actually doing the work correctly. Think about what makes an assertion *discriminating*: it passes when the skill genuinely succeeds and fails when it doesn't.
Suggestions worth raising:
- An assertion that passed but would also pass for a clearly wrong output (e.g., checking filename existence but not file content)
- An important outcome you observed — good or bad — that no assertion covers at all
- An assertion that can't actually be verified from the available outputs
Keep the bar high. The goal is to flag things the eval author would say "good catch" about, not to nitpick every assertion.
### Step 7: Write Grading Results
Save results to `{outputs_dir}/../grading.json` (sibling to outputs_dir).
## Grading Criteria
**PASS when**:
- The transcript or outputs clearly demonstrate the expectation is true
- Specific evidence can be cited
- The evidence reflects genuine substance, not just surface compliance (e.g., a file exists AND contains correct content, not just the right filename)
**FAIL when**:
- No evidence found for the expectation
- Evidence contradicts the expectation
- The expectation cannot be verified from available information
- The evidence is superficial — the assertion is technically satisfied but the underlying task outcome is wrong or incomplete
- The output appears to meet the assertion by coincidence rather than by actually doing the work
**When uncertain**: The burden of proof to pass is on the expectation.
### Step 8: Read Executor Metrics and Timing
1. If `{outputs_dir}/metrics.json` exists, read it and include in grading output
2. If `{outputs_dir}/../timing.json` exists, read it and include timing data
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"expectations": [
{
"text": "The output includes the name 'John Smith'",
"passed": true,
"evidence": "Found in transcript Step 3: 'Extracted names: John Smith, Sarah Johnson'"
},
{
"text": "The spreadsheet has a SUM formula in cell B10",
"passed": false,
"evidence": "No spreadsheet was created. The output was a text file."
},
{
"text": "The assistant used the skill's OCR script",
"passed": true,
"evidence": "Transcript Step 2 shows: 'Tool: Bash - python ocr_script.py image.png'"
}
],
"summary": {
"passed": 2,
"failed": 1,
"total": 3,
"pass_rate": 0.67
},
"execution_metrics": {
"tool_calls": {
"Read": 5,
"Write": 2,
"Bash": 8
},
"total_tool_calls": 15,
"total_steps": 6,
"errors_encountered": 0,
"output_chars": 12450,
"transcript_chars": 3200
},
"timing": {
"executor_duration_seconds": 165.0,
"grader_duration_seconds": 26.0,
"total_duration_seconds": 191.0
},
"claims": [
{
"claim": "The form has 12 fillable fields",
"type": "factual",
"verified": true,
"evidence": "Counted 12 fields in field_info.json"
},
{
"claim": "All required fields were populated",
"type": "quality",
"verified": false,
"evidence": "Reference section was left blank despite data being available"
}
],
"user_notes_summary": {
"uncertainties": ["Used 2023 data, may be stale"],
"needs_review": [],
"workarounds": ["Fell back to text overlay for non-fillable fields"]
},
"eval_feedback": {
"suggestions": [
{
"assertion": "The output includes the name 'John Smith'",
"reason": "A hallucinated document that mentions the name would also pass — consider checking it appears as the primary contact with matching phone and email from the input"
},
{
"reason": "No assertion checks whether the extracted phone numbers match the input — I observed incorrect numbers in the output that went uncaught"
}
],
"overall": "Assertions check presence but not correctness. Consider adding content verification."
}
}
```

## Technical Constraints
### YAML Frontmatter Restrictions
**Character Limits:**
- `description` field: **Maximum 1024 characters**
- `name` field: No hard limit, but keep concise (typically <50 characters)
**Forbidden Characters:**
- **XML angle brackets (`< >`) are prohibited** in frontmatter
- This includes the description, name, and any other frontmatter fields
- Reason: Parsing conflicts with XML-based systems
**Example - INCORRECT:**
```yaml
---
name: html-generator
description: Creates
and elements for web pages
---
```
**Example - CORRECT:**
```yaml
---
name: html-generator
description: Creates div and span elements for web pages
---
```
### Naming Restrictions
**Prohibited Terms:**
- Cannot use "claude" in skill names (case-insensitive)
- Cannot use "anthropic" in skill names (case-insensitive)
- Reason: Trademark protection and avoiding confusion with official tools
**Examples - INCORRECT:**
- `claude-helper`
- `anthropic-tools`
- `my-claude-skill`
**Examples - CORRECT:**
- `code-helper`
- `ai-tools`
- `my-coding-skill`
---
## Naming Conventions
### File and Folder Names
**SKILL.md File:**
- **Must be named exactly `SKILL.md`** (case-sensitive)
- Not `skill.md`, `Skill.md`, or any other variation
- This is the entry point Claude looks for
**Folder Names:**
- Use **kebab-case** (lowercase with hyphens)
- Avoid spaces, underscores, and uppercase letters
- Keep names descriptive but concise
**Examples:**
✅ **CORRECT:**
```
notion-project-setup/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
└── references/
```
❌ **INCORRECT:**
```
Notion_Project_Setup/ # Uses uppercase and underscores
notion project setup/ # Contains spaces
notionProjectSetup/ # Uses camelCase
```
### Script and Reference Files
**Scripts:**
- Use snake_case: `generate_report.py`, `process_data.sh`
- Make scripts executable: `chmod +x scripts/my_script.py`
- Include shebang line: `#!/usr/bin/env python3`
**Reference Files:**
- Use snake_case: `api_documentation.md`, `style_guide.md`
- Use descriptive names that indicate content
- Group related files in subdirectories when needed
**Assets:**
- Use kebab-case for consistency: `default-template.docx`
- Include file extensions
- Organize by type if you have many assets
---
## Description Field Structure
The description field is the **primary triggering mechanism** for skills. Follow this formula:
### Formula
```
[What it does] + [When to use it] + [Specific trigger phrases]
```
### Components
1. **What it does** (1-2 sentences)
- Clear, concise explanation of the skill's purpose
- Focus on outcomes, not implementation details
2. **When to use it** (1-2 sentences)
- Contexts where this skill should trigger
- User scenarios and situations
3. **Specific trigger phrases** (1 sentence)
- Actual phrases users might say
- Include variations and synonyms
- Be explicit: "Use when user asks to [specific phrases]"
### Triggering Behavior
**Important**: Claude currently has a tendency to "undertrigger" skills (not use them when they'd be useful). To combat this:
- Make descriptions slightly "pushy"
- Include multiple trigger scenarios
- Be explicit about when to use the skill
- Mention related concepts that should also trigger it
**Example - Too Passive:**
```yaml
description: How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data.
```
**Example - Better:**
```yaml
description: How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions dashboards, data visualization, internal metrics, or wants to display any kind of company data, even if they don't explicitly ask for a 'dashboard.'
```
### Real-World Examples
**Good Description (frontend-design):**
```yaml
description: Creates consistent UI components following the design system. Use when user wants to build interface elements, needs design tokens, or asks about component styling. Triggers on phrases like "create a button", "design a form", "what's our color palette", or "build a card component".
```
**Good Description (skill-creator):**
```yaml
description: Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
```
---
## Security and Safety Requirements
### Principle of Lack of Surprise
Skills must not contain:
- Malware or exploit code
- Content that could compromise system security
- Misleading functionality that differs from the description
- Unauthorized access mechanisms
- Data exfiltration code
**Acceptable:**
- Educational security content (with clear context)
- Roleplay scenarios ("roleplay as XYZ")
- Authorized penetration testing tools (with clear documentation)
**Unacceptable:**
- Hidden backdoors
- Obfuscated malicious code
- Skills that claim to do X but actually do Y
- Credential harvesting
- Unauthorized data collection
### Code Execution Safety
When skills include scripts:
- Document what each script does
- Avoid destructive operations without confirmation
- Validate inputs before processing
- Handle errors gracefully
- Don't execute arbitrary user-provided code without sandboxing
### Data Privacy
- Don't log sensitive information
- Don't transmit data to external services without disclosure
- Respect user privacy in examples and documentation
- Use placeholder data in examples, not real user data
---
## Quantitative Success Criteria
When evaluating skill effectiveness, aim for:
### Triggering Accuracy
- **Target: 90%+ trigger rate** on relevant queries
- Skill should activate when appropriate
- Should NOT activate on irrelevant queries
### Efficiency
- **Complete workflows in X tool calls** (define X for your skill)
- Minimize unnecessary steps
- Avoid redundant operations
### Reliability
- **Target: 0 API call failures** due to skill design
- Handle errors gracefully
- Provide fallback strategies
### Performance Metrics
Track these during testing:
- **Trigger rate**: % of relevant queries that activate the skill
- **False positive rate**: % of irrelevant queries that incorrectly trigger
- **Completion rate**: % of tasks successfully completed
- **Average tool calls**: Mean number of tool invocations per task
- **Token usage**: Context consumption (aim to minimize)
- **Time to completion**: Duration from start to finish
---
## Domain Organization Pattern
When a skill supports multiple domains, frameworks, or platforms:
### Structure
```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md # Workflow + selection logic
└── references/
├── variant-a.md # Specific to variant A
├── variant-b.md # Specific to variant B
└── variant-c.md # Specific to variant C
```
### SKILL.md Responsibilities
1. Explain the overall workflow
2. Help Claude determine which variant applies
3. Direct Claude to read the appropriate reference file
4. Provide common patterns across all variants
### Reference File Responsibilities
- Variant-specific instructions
- Platform-specific APIs or tools
- Domain-specific best practices
- Examples relevant to that variant
### Example: Cloud Deployment Skill
```
cloud-deploy/
├── SKILL.md # "Determine cloud provider, then read appropriate guide"
└── references/
├── aws.md # AWS-specific deployment steps
├── gcp.md # Google Cloud-specific steps
└── azure.md # Azure-specific steps
```
**SKILL.md excerpt:**
```markdown
## Workflow
1. Identify the target cloud provider from user's request or project context
2. Read the appropriate reference file:
- AWS: `references/aws.md`
- Google Cloud: `references/gcp.md`
- Azure: `references/azure.md`
3. Follow the provider-specific deployment steps
```
This pattern ensures Claude only loads the relevant context, keeping token usage efficient.
---
## Compatibility Field (Optional)
Use the `compatibility` frontmatter field to declare dependencies:
```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: Does something useful
compatibility:
required_tools:
- python3
- git
required_mcps:
- github
platforms:
- claude-code
- claude-api
---
```
This is **optional** and rarely needed, but useful when:
- Skill requires specific tools to be installed
- Skill depends on particular MCP servers
- Skill only works on certain platforms
---

# Content Design Patterns
Skills share the same file format, but the logic inside varies enormously. These 5 patterns are recurring content structures found across the skill ecosystem — from engineering tools to content creation, research, and personal productivity.
The format problem is solved. The challenge now is content design.
## Choosing a Pattern
```
主要目的是注入知识/规范?
→ Tool Wrapper
主要目的是生成一致性输出?
→ Generator
主要目的是评审/打分?
→ Reviewer
需要先收集用户信息再执行?
→ Inversion(或在其他模式前加 Inversion 阶段)
需要严格顺序、不允许跳步?
→ Pipeline
以上都有?
→ 组合使用(见文末)
```
---
## Pattern 1: Tool Wrapper
**一句话**:把专业知识打包成按需加载的上下文,让 Claude 在需要时成为某个领域的专家。
### 何时用
- 你有一套规范、约定、或最佳实践,希望 Claude 在特定场景下遵守
- 知识量大,不适合全部放在 SKILL.md 里
- 不同任务只需要加载相关的知识子集
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 触发条件(什么时候加载哪个 reference)
├── 核心规则(少量,最重要的)
└── references/
├── conventions.md ← 完整规范
├── gotchas.md ← 常见错误
└── examples.md ← 示例
```
关键:SKILL.md 告诉 Claude "什么时候读哪个文件",而不是把所有内容塞进来。
### 示例
写作风格指南 skill:
```markdown
You are a writing style expert. Apply these conventions to the user's content.
## When Reviewing Content
1. Load 'references/style-guide.md' for complete writing conventions
2. Check against each rule
3. For each issue, cite the specific rule and suggest the fix
## When Writing New Content
1. Load 'references/style-guide.md'
2. Follow every convention exactly
3. Match the tone and voice defined in the guide
```
真实案例:`baoyu-article-illustrator` 的各个 style 文件(`references/styles/blueprint.md` 等)就是 Tool Wrapper 模式——只在需要某个风格时才加载对应文件。
---
## Pattern 2: Generator
**一句话**:用模板 + 风格指南确保每次输出结构一致,Claude 负责填充内容。
### 何时用
- 需要生成格式固定的文档、图片、代码
- 同类输出每次结构应该相同
- 有明确的模板可以复用
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 步骤:加载模板 → 收集变量 → 填充 → 输出
└── assets/
└── template.md ← 输出模板
references/
└── style-guide.md ← 风格规范
```
关键:模板放在 `assets/`,风格指南放在 `references/`,SKILL.md 只做协调。
### 示例
封面图生成 skill:
```markdown
Step 1: Load 'references/style-guide.md' for visual conventions.
Step 2: Load 'assets/prompt-template.md' for the image prompt structure.
Step 3: Ask the user for missing information:
- Article title and topic
- Preferred style (or auto-recommend based on content)
Step 4: Fill the template with article-specific content.
Step 5: Generate the image using the completed prompt.
```
真实案例:`obsidian-cover-image` 是典型的 Generator——分析文章内容,推荐风格,填充 prompt 模板,生成封面图。
---
## Pattern 3: Reviewer
**一句话**:把"检查什么"和"怎么检查"分离,用可替换的 checklist 驱动评审流程。
### 何时用
- 需要对内容/代码/设计进行系统性评审
- 评审标准可能随场景变化(换个 checklist 就换了评审维度)
- 需要结构化的输出(按严重程度分组、打分等)
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 评审流程(固定)
└── references/
└── review-checklist.md ← 评审标准(可替换)
```
关键:流程是固定的,标准是可替换的。换一个 checklist 文件就得到完全不同的评审 skill。
### 示例
文章质量审查 skill:
```markdown
Step 1: Load 'references/review-checklist.md' for evaluation criteria.
Step 2: Read the article carefully. Understand its purpose before critiquing.
Step 3: Apply each criterion. For every issue found:
- Note the location (section/paragraph)
- Classify severity: critical / suggestion / minor
- Explain WHY it's a problem
- Suggest a specific fix
Step 4: Produce structured review:
- Summary: overall quality assessment
- Issues: grouped by severity
- Score: 1-10 with justification
- Top 3 recommendations
```
---
## Pattern 4: Inversion
**一句话**:翻转默认行为——不是用户驱动、Claude 执行,而是 Claude 先采访用户,收集完信息再动手。
### 何时用
- 任务需要大量上下文才能做好
- 用户往往说不清楚自己想要什么
- 做错了代价高(比如生成了大量内容后才发现方向不对)
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── Phase 1: 采访(逐个问题,等待回答)
│ └── 明确的门控条件:所有问题回答完才能继续
├── Phase 2: 确认(展示理解,让用户确认)
└── Phase 3: 执行(基于收集的信息)
```
关键:必须有明确的 gate condition——"DO NOT proceed until all questions are answered"。没有门控的 Inversion 会被 Claude 跳过。
### 示例
需求收集 skill:
```markdown
You are conducting a structured requirements interview.
DO NOT start building until all phases are complete.
## Phase 1 — Discovery (ask ONE question at a time, wait for each answer)
- Q1: "What problem does this solve for users?"
- Q2: "Who are the primary users?"
- Q3: "What does success look like?"
## Phase 2 — Confirm (only after Phase 1 is fully answered)
Summarize your understanding and ask: "Does this capture what you need?"
DO NOT proceed until user confirms.
## Phase 3 — Execute (only after confirmation)
[actual work here]
```
真实案例:`baoyu-article-illustrator` 的 Step 3(Confirm Settings)是 Inversion 模式——用 AskUserQuestion 收集 type、density、style 后才开始生成。
---
## Pattern 5: Pipeline
**一句话**:把复杂任务拆成有序步骤,每步有明确的完成条件,不允许跳步。
### 何时用
- 任务有严格的依赖顺序(步骤 B 依赖步骤 A 的输出)
- 某些步骤需要用户确认才能继续
- 跳步会导致严重错误
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── Step 1: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
├── Step 2: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
├── Step 3: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
└── ...
```
关键:每个步骤都有明确的 gate condition。"DO NOT proceed to Step N until [condition]" 是 Pipeline 的核心语法。
### 示例
文章发布流程 skill(`obsidian-to-x` 的简化版):
```markdown
## Step 1 — Detect Content Type
Read the active file. Check frontmatter for title field.
- Has title → X Article workflow
- No title → Regular post workflow
DO NOT proceed until content type is determined.
## Step 2 — Convert Format
Run the appropriate conversion script.
DO NOT proceed if conversion fails.
## Step 3 — Preview
Show the converted content to the user.
Ask: "Does this look correct?"
DO NOT proceed until user confirms.
## Step 4 — Publish
Execute the publishing script.
```
真实案例:`obsidian-to-x` 和 `baoyu-article-illustrator` 都是 Pipeline——严格的步骤顺序,每步有明确的完成条件。
---
## 模式组合
模式不是互斥的,可以自由组合:
| 组合 | 适用场景 |
|------|---------|
| **Inversion + Generator** | 先采访收集变量,再填充模板生成输出 |
| **Inversion + Pipeline** | 先收集需求,再严格执行多步流程 |
| **Pipeline + Reviewer** | 流程末尾加一个自我审查步骤 |
| **Tool Wrapper + Pipeline** | 在流程的特定步骤按需加载专业知识 |
`baoyu-article-illustrator` 是 **Inversion + Pipeline**:Step 3 用 Inversion 收集设置,Step 4-6 用 Pipeline 严格执行生成流程。
`skill-creator-pro` 本身也是 **Inversion + Pipeline**:Phase 1 先采访用户,Phase 2-6 严格按顺序执行。

# Skill Design Principles
This document outlines the core design principles for creating effective Claude Skills. Skills apply to any domain — engineering, content creation, research, personal productivity, and beyond.
## Five Core Design Principles
### 1. Progressive Disclosure
Skills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:
**Level 1: Metadata (Always in Context)**
- Name + description (~100 words)
- Always loaded, visible to Claude
- Primary triggering mechanism
**Level 2: SKILL.md Body (Loaded When Triggered)**
- Main instructions and workflow
- Ideal: <500 lines
- Loaded when skill is invoked
**Level 3: Bundled Resources (Loaded As Needed)**
- Scripts execute without loading into context
- Reference files loaded only when explicitly needed
- Unlimited size potential
**Key Implementation Patterns:**
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines; if approaching this limit, add hierarchy with clear navigation pointers
- Reference files clearly from SKILL.md with guidance on when to read them
- For large reference files (>300 lines), include a table of contents
- Scripts in `scripts/` directory don't consume context when executed
### 2. Composability
Skills should work harmoniously with other skills and tools:
- **Avoid conflicts**: Don't override or duplicate functionality from other skills
- **Clear boundaries**: Define what your skill does and doesn't do
- **Interoperability**: Design workflows that can incorporate other skills when needed
- **Modular design**: Break complex capabilities into focused, reusable components
**Example**: A `frontend-design` skill might reference a `color-palette` skill rather than reimplementing color theory.
### 3. Portability
Skills should work consistently across different Claude platforms:
- **Claude.ai**: Web interface with Projects
- **Claude Code**: CLI tool with full filesystem access
- **API integrations**: Programmatic access
**Design for portability:**
- Avoid platform-specific assumptions
- Use conditional instructions when platform differences matter
- Test across environments if possible
- Document any platform-specific limitations in frontmatter
---
### 4. Don't Over-constrain
Skills work best when they give Claude knowledge and intent, not rigid scripts. Claude is smart — explain the *why* behind requirements and let it adapt to the specific situation.
- Prefer explaining reasoning over stacking MUST/NEVER
- Avoid overly specific instructions unless the format is a hard requirement
- If you find yourself writing many ALWAYS/NEVER, stop and ask: can I explain the reason instead?
- Give Claude the information it needs, but leave room for it to handle edge cases intelligently
**Example**: Instead of "ALWAYS output exactly 3 bullet points", write "Use bullet points to keep the output scannable — 3 is usually right, but adjust based on content complexity."
### 5. Accumulate from Usage
Good skills aren't written once — they grow. Every time Claude hits an edge case or makes a recurring mistake, update the skill. The Gotchas section is the highest-information-density part of any skill.
- Every skill should have a `## Gotchas` or `## Common Pitfalls` section
- Append to it whenever Claude makes a repeatable mistake
- Treat the skill as a living document, not a one-time deliverable
- The best gotchas come from real usage, not speculation
---
## Cross-Cutting Concerns
Regardless of domain or pattern, all skills should:
- **Be specific and actionable**: Vague instructions lead to inconsistent results
- **Include error handling**: Anticipate what can go wrong
- **Provide examples**: Show, don't just tell
- **Explain the why**: Help Claude understand reasoning, not just rules
- **Stay focused**: One skill, one clear purpose
- **Enable iteration**: Support refinement and improvement

# Implementation Patterns
可复用的实现模式,适用于任何领域的 skill。
---
## Pattern A: config.json 初始设置
### 何时用
Skill 需要用户提供个性化配置(账号、路径、偏好、API key 等),且这些配置在多次使用中保持不变。
### 标准流程
```
首次运行
↓
检查 config.json 是否存在
↓ 不存在
用 AskUserQuestion 收集配置
↓
写入 config.json
↓
继续执行主流程
```
### 检查逻辑
```bash
# 检查顺序(优先级从高到低)
1. {project-dir}/.{skill-name}/config.json # 项目级
2. ~/.{skill-name}/config.json # 用户级
```
### 示例 config.json 结构
```json
{
"version": 1,
"output_dir": "illustrations",
"preferred_style": "notion",
"watermark": {
"enabled": false,
"content": ""
},
"language": null
}
```
### 最佳实践
- 字段用 `snake_case`
- 必须有 `version` 字段,方便未来迁移
- 可选字段设合理默认值,不要强制用户填所有项
- 敏感信息(API key)不要存在 config.json,用环境变量
- 配置变更时提示用户当前值,让他们选择保留或修改
### 与 EXTEND.md 的区别
| | config.json | EXTEND.md |
|--|-------------|-----------|
| 格式 | 纯 JSON | YAML frontmatter + Markdown |
| 适合 | 结构化配置,脚本读取 | 需要注释说明的复杂配置 |
| 可读性 | 机器友好 | 人类友好 |
| 推荐场景 | 大多数情况 | 配置项需要大量说明时 |

## Pattern B: Gotchas 章节
### 何时用
所有 skill 都应该有。这是 skill 中信息密度最高的部分——记录 Claude 在真实使用中反复犯的错误。
### 结构模板
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **[问题简述]**: [具体描述] → [正确做法]
- **[问题简述]**: [具体描述] → [正确做法]
```
### 示例
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **不要字面翻译隐喻**: 文章说"用电锯切西瓜"时,不要画电锯和西瓜,
要可视化背后的概念(高效/暴力/不匹配)
- **prompt 文件必须先保存**: 不要直接把 prompt 文本传给生成命令,
必须先写入文件再引用文件路径
- **路径锁定**: 获取当前文件路径后立即保存到变量,
不要在后续步骤重新获取(workspace.json 会随 Obsidian 操作变化)
```
### 维护原则
- 遇到 Claude 反复犯的错误,立即追加
- 每条 gotcha 要有"为什么"和"怎么做",不只是"不要做 X"
- 定期回顾,删除已经不再出现的问题
- 把 gotchas 当作 skill 的"活文档",不是一次性写完的
---
## Pattern C: 脚本复用
### 何时用
在 eval transcript 里发现 Claude 在多次运行中反复写了相同的辅助代码。
### 识别信号
运行 3 个测试用例后,检查 transcript:
- 3 个测试都写了类似的 `parse_outline.py`?
- 每次都重新实现相同的文件命名逻辑?
- 反复构造相同格式的 API 请求?
这些都是"应该提取到 `scripts/` 的信号"。
### 提取步骤
1. 从 transcript 中找出重复的代码模式
2. 提取成通用脚本,放入 `scripts/`
3. 在 SKILL.md 中明确告知 Claude 使用它:
```markdown
Use `scripts/build-batch.ts` to generate the batch file.
DO NOT rewrite this logic inline.
```
4. 重新运行测试,验证 Claude 确实使用了脚本而不是重写
### 好处
- 每次调用不再重复造轮子,节省 token
- 脚本经过测试,比 Claude 即兴生成的代码更可靠
- 逻辑集中在一处,维护更容易
---
## Pattern D: 数据存储与记忆
### 何时用
Skill 需要跨会话记忆(如记录历史操作、积累用户偏好、追踪状态)。
### 三种方案对比
| 方案 | 适用场景 | 复杂度 |
|------|---------|--------|
| Append-only log | 简单历史记录,只追加 | 低 |
| JSON 文件 | 结构化状态,需要读写 | 低 |
| SQLite | 复杂查询,大量数据 | 高 |
### 存储位置
```bash
# ✅ 推荐:稳定目录,插件升级不会删除
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/{skill-name}/
# ❌ 避免:skill 目录,插件升级时会被覆盖
.claude/skills/{skill-name}/data/
```
### 示例:append-only log
```bash
# 追加记录
echo "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ) | published | ${ARTICLE_PATH}" \
>> "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/obsidian-to-x/history.log"
# 读取最近 10 条
tail -10 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/obsidian-to-x/history.log"
```
### 示例:JSON 状态文件
```json
{
"last_run": "2026-03-20T10:00:00Z",
"total_published": 42,
"preferred_style": "notion"
}
```
---
## Pattern E: 按需钩子
### 何时用
需要在 skill 激活期间拦截特定操作,但不希望这个拦截一直生效(会影响其他工作)。
### 概念
Skill 被调用时注册钩子,整个会话期间生效。用户主动调用才激活,不会干扰日常工作。
### 典型场景
```markdown
# /careful skill
激活后,拦截所有包含以下内容的 Bash 命令:
- rm -rf
- DROP TABLE
- force-push / --force
- kubectl delete
拦截时提示用户确认,而不是直接执行。
适合:知道自己在操作生产环境时临时开启。
```
```markdown
# /freeze skill
激活后,阻止对指定目录之外的任何 Edit/Write 操作。
适合:调试时"我只想加日志,不想不小心改了其他文件"。
```
### 实现方式
在 SKILL.md 中声明 PreToolUse 钩子:
```yaml
hooks:
- type: PreToolUse
matcher: "Bash"
action: intercept_dangerous_commands
```
详见 Claude Code hooks 文档。

# Skill Creation Quick Checklist
Use this checklist before publishing or sharing your skill. Each section corresponds to a critical aspect of skill quality.
## Pre-Flight Checklist
### ✅ File Structure
- [ ] `SKILL.md` file exists with exact capitalization (not `skill.md` or `Skill.md`)
- [ ] Folder name uses kebab-case (e.g., `my-skill-name`, not `My_Skill_Name`)
- [ ] Scripts directory exists if needed: `scripts/`
- [ ] References directory exists if needed: `references/`
- [ ] Assets directory exists if needed: `assets/`
### ✅ YAML Frontmatter
- [ ] `name` field present and uses kebab-case
- [ ] `name` doesn't contain "claude" or "anthropic"
- [ ] `description` field present and under 1024 characters
- [ ] No XML angle brackets (`< >`) in any frontmatter field
- [ ] `compatibility` field included if skill has dependencies (optional)
### ✅ Description Quality
- [ ] Describes what the skill does (1-2 sentences)
- [ ] Specifies when to use it (contexts and scenarios)
- [ ] Includes specific trigger phrases users might say
- [ ] Is "pushy" enough to overcome undertriggering
- [ ] Mentions related concepts that should also trigger the skill
**Formula**: `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`
### ✅ Instructions Quality
- [ ] Instructions are specific and actionable (not vague)
- [ ] Explains the "why" behind requirements, not just "what"
- [ ] Includes examples where helpful
- [ ] Defines output formats clearly if applicable
- [ ] Handles error cases and edge conditions
- [ ] Uses imperative form ("Do X", not "You should do X")
- [ ] Avoids excessive use of MUST/NEVER in all caps
### ✅ Progressive Disclosure
- [ ] SKILL.md body is under 500 lines (or has clear hierarchy if longer)
- [ ] Large reference files (>300 lines) include table of contents
- [ ] References are clearly linked from SKILL.md with usage guidance
- [ ] Scripts are in `scripts/` directory and don't need to be read into context

- [ ] Scripts handle errors gracefully
- [ ] No hardcoded sensitive data (API keys, passwords)
### ✅ Security and Safety
- [ ] No malware or exploit code
- [ ] No misleading functionality (does what description says)
- [ ] No unauthorized data collection or exfiltration
- [ ] Destructive operations require confirmation
- [ ] User data privacy respected in examples
- [ ] No hardcoded credentials or secrets
### ✅ Testing and Validation

- [ ] Gate condition present: "DO NOT proceed until all questions answered"
### Pipeline
- [ ] Each step has a clear completion condition
- [ ] Gate conditions present: "DO NOT proceed to Step N until [condition]"
- [ ] Steps are numbered and sequential
---
## Implementation Patterns Checklist
- [ ] If user config needed: `config.json` setup flow present
- [ ] `## Gotchas` section included (even if just 1 entry)
- [ ] If cross-session state needed: data stored in `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}`, not skill directory
- [ ] If Claude repeatedly writes the same helper code: extracted to `scripts/`
---
## Quantitative Success Criteria
After testing, verify your skill meets these targets:
### Triggering
- [ ] **90%+ trigger rate** on relevant queries
- [ ] **<10% false positive rate** on irrelevant queries
### Efficiency
- [ ] Completes tasks in reasonable number of tool calls
- [ ] No unnecessary or redundant operations
- [ ] Context usage minimized (SKILL.md <500 lines)
### Reliability
- [ ] **0 API failures** due to skill design
- [ ] Graceful error handling
- [ ] Fallback strategies for common failures
### Performance
- [ ] Token usage tracked and optimized
- [ ] Time to completion acceptable for use case
- [ ] Consistent results across multiple runs
---
## Pre-Publication Final Checks
### Code Review
- [ ] Read through SKILL.md with fresh eyes
- [ ] Check for typos and grammatical errors
- [ ] Verify all file paths are correct
- [ ] Test all example commands actually work
### User Perspective
- [ ] Description makes sense to target audience
- [ ] Instructions are clear without insider knowledge
- [ ] Examples are realistic and helpful
- [ ] Error messages are user-friendly
### Maintenance
- [ ] Version number or date included (optional)
- [ ] Contact info or issue tracker provided (optional)
- [ ] Update plan considered for future changes
---
## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
❌ **Don't:**
- Use vague instructions like "make it good"
- Overuse MUST/NEVER in all caps
- Create overly rigid structures that don't generalize
- Include unnecessary files or bloat
- Hardcode values that should be parameters
- Assume specific directory structures
- Forget to test on realistic queries
- Make description too passive (undertriggering)
✅ **Do:**
- Explain reasoning behind requirements
- Use examples to clarify expectations
- Keep instructions focused and actionable
- Test with real user queries
- Handle errors gracefully
- Make description explicit about when to trigger
- Optimize for the 1000th use, not just the test cases
---
## Skill Quality Tiers
### Tier 1: Functional
- Meets all technical requirements
- Works for basic use cases
- No security issues
### Tier 2: Good
- Clear, well-documented instructions
- Handles edge cases
- Efficient context usage
- Good triggering accuracy
### Tier 3: Excellent
- Explains reasoning, not just rules
- Generalizes beyond test cases
- Optimized for repeated use
- Delightful user experience
- Comprehensive error handling
**Aim for Tier 3.** The difference between a functional skill and an excellent skill is often just thoughtful refinement.
---
## Post-Publication
After publishing:
- [ ] Monitor usage and gather feedback
- [ ] Track common failure modes
- [ ] Iterate based on real-world use
- [ ] Update description if triggering issues arise
- [ ] Refine instructions based on user confusion
- [ ] Add examples for newly discovered use cases
---
## Quick Reference: File Naming
| Item | Convention | Example |
|------|-----------|---------|
| Skill folder | kebab-case | `my-skill-name/` |
| Main file | Exact case | `SKILL.md` |
| Scripts | snake_case | `generate_report.py` |
| References | snake_case | `api_docs.md` |
| Assets | kebab-case | `default-template.docx` |
---
## Quick Reference: Description Formula
```
[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]
```
**Example:**
```yaml
description: Creates consistent UI components following the design system. Use when user wants to build interface elements, needs design tokens, or asks about component styling. Triggers on phrases like "create a button", "design a form", "what's our color palette", or "build a card component".
```
---
## Need Help?
- Review `design_principles.md` for conceptual guidance
- Check `constraints_and_rules.md` for technical requirements
- Read `schemas.md` for eval and benchmark structures
- Use the skill-creator skill itself for guided creation
---
**Remember**: A skill is successful when it works reliably for the 1000th user, not just your test cases. Generalize, explain reasoning, and keep it simple.

}
```
**Fields:**
- `metadata`: Information about the benchmark run
- `skill_name`: Name of the skill
- `timestamp`: When the benchmark was run
- `evals_run`: List of eval names or IDs
- `runs_per_configuration`: Number of runs per config (e.g. 3)
- `runs[]`: Individual run results
- `eval_id`: Numeric eval identifier
- `eval_name`: Human-readable eval name (used as section header in the viewer)
- `configuration`: Must be `"with_skill"` or `"without_skill"` (the viewer uses this exact string for grouping and color coding)
- `run_number`: Integer run number (1, 2, 3...)
- `result`: Nested object with `pass_rate`, `passed`, `total`, `time_seconds`, `tokens`, `errors`
- `run_summary`: Statistical aggregates per configuration
- `with_skill` / `without_skill`: Each contains `pass_rate`, `time_seconds`, `tokens` objects with `mean` and `stddev` fields
- `delta`: Difference strings like `"+0.50"`, `"+13.0"`, `"+1700"`
- `notes`: Freeform observations from the analyzer
**Important:** The viewer reads these field names exactly. Using `config` instead of `configuration`, or putting `pass_rate` at the top level of a run instead of nested under `result`, will cause the viewer to show empty/zero values. Always reference this schema when generating benchmark.json manually.

"""
Aggregate individual run results into benchmark summary statistics.
Reads grading.json files from run directories and produces:
- run_summary with mean, stddev, min, max for each metric
- delta between with_skill and without_skill configurations
Usage:
python aggregate_benchmark.py
Example:
python aggregate_benchmark.py benchmarks/2026-01-15T10-30-00/
The script supports two directory layouts:
Workspace layout (from skill-creator iterations):
/
└── eval-N/
├── with_skill/
│ ├── run-1/grading.json
│ └── run-2/grading.json
└── without_skill/
├── run-1/grading.json
└── run-2/grading.json
Legacy layout (with runs/ subdirectory):
/
└── runs/
└── eval-N/
├── with_skill/
│ └── run-1/grading.json
└── without_skill/
└── run-1/grading.json

Skill content (for context on what the skill does):
{skill_content}
Based on the failures, write a new and improved description that is more likely to trigger correctly. When I say "based on the failures", it's a bit of a tricky line to walk because we don't want to overfit to the specific cases you're seeing. So what I DON'T want you to do is produce an ever-expanding list of specific queries that this skill should or shouldn't trigger for. Instead, try to generalize from the failures to broader categories of user intent and situations where this skill would be useful or not useful. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Avoid overfitting
2. The list might get loooong and it's injected into ALL queries and there might be a lot of skills, so we don't want to blow too much space on any given description.
Concretely, your description should not be more than about 100-200 words, even if that comes at the cost of accuracy.
Here are some tips that we've found to work well in writing these descriptions:
- The skill should be phrased in the imperative -- "Use this skill for" rather than "this skill does"
- The skill description should focus on the user's intent, what they are trying to achieve, vs. the implementation details of how the skill works.
- The description competes with other skills for Claude's attention — make it distinctive and immediately recognizable.
- If you're getting lots of failures after repeated attempts, change things up. Try different sentence structures or wordings.
I'd encourage you to be creative and mix up the style in different iterations since you'll have multiple opportunities to try different approaches and we'll just grab the highest-scoring one at the end.

3. Review generated SKILL.md
4. **Automatic plugin integration check** (if skill is in a plugin)
5. Test with sample prompts
6. Iterate based on feedback
### Creating a Plugin Skill
When creating a skill that's part of a plugin:
1. Create the skill in `plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill/`
2. **Integration check runs automatically**:
- Detects plugin context
- Checks for related commands and agents
- Verifies three-layer architecture
- Generates integration report
3. Review integration recommendations
4. Create/fix commands and agents if needed
5. Test the complete workflow
**Example Integration Check Output:**
```
🔍 Found plugin: my-plugin v1.0.0
📋 Checking commands...
Found: commands/do-task.md
🤖 Checking agents...
Found: agents/task-executor.md
✅ Architecture Analysis
- Command orchestrates workflow ✅
- Agent executes autonomously ✅
- Skill documents knowledge ✅
Integration Score: 0.9 (Excellent)
```
### Improving an Existing Skill
1. Run `/agent-skills-toolkit:improve-skill path/to/skill`
2. Review current implementation
3. Get improvement suggestions
4. Apply changes
5. Validate with tests
### Testing and Evaluation
1. Run `/agent-skills-toolkit:test-skill my-skill`
2. Review qualitative results
3. Check quantitative metrics
4. Generate comprehensive report
5. Identify areas for improvement
## Best Practices
- **Start Simple**: Begin with core functionality, add complexity later
- **Test Early**: Create test cases before full implementation
- **Iterate Often**: Refine based on real usage feedback
- **Follow Guidelines**: Use bundled references for best practices
- **Optimize Descriptions**: Make skills easy to trigger correctly
- **Check Plugin Integration**: Ensure proper Command-Agent-Skill architecture
- **Separate Concerns**: Commands orchestrate, Agents execute, Skills document
## Support
- **Issues**: Report at [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/likai/awesome-agentskills/issues)
- **Documentation**: See main [README](../../README.md)
- **Examples**: Check official Anthropic skills for inspiration

description: Check plugin integration for a skill and verify Command-Agent-Skill architecture
argument-hint: "[skill-path]"
---
# Check Plugin Integration
Verify that a skill properly integrates with its plugin's commands and agents, following the three-layer architecture pattern.
## Usage
```
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
```
## Examples
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration` - Check current directory
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill`
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill`
## What this command does
1. Detects if the skill is part of a plugin
2. Finds related commands and agents
3. Verifies three-layer architecture (Command → Agent → Skill)
4. Generates integration report with scoring
5. Provides actionable recommendations
## When to use
- After creating a new skill in a plugin
- After modifying an existing plugin skill
- When reviewing plugin architecture
- Before publishing a plugin
- When troubleshooting integration issues
---
## Implementation
This command acts as a **thin wrapper** that delegates to the `plugin-integration-checker` skill.
### Step 1: Determine Skill Path
```bash
# If skill-path argument is provided, use it
SKILL_PATH="${1}"
# If no argument, check if current directory is a skill
if [ -z "$SKILL_PATH" ]; then
if [ -f "skill.md" ]; then
SKILL_PATH=$(pwd)
echo "📍 Using current directory: $SKILL_PATH"
else
echo "❌ No skill path provided and current directory is not a skill."
echo "Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]"
exit 1
fi
fi
# Verify skill exists
if [ ! -f "$SKILL_PATH/skill.md" ] && [ ! -f "$SKILL_PATH" ]; then
echo "❌ Skill not found at: $SKILL_PATH"
echo "Please provide a valid path to a skill directory or skill.md file"
exit 1
fi
# If path points to skill.md, get the directory
if [ -f "$SKILL_PATH" ] && [[ "$SKILL_PATH" == *"skill.md" ]]; then
SKILL_PATH=$(dirname "$SKILL_PATH")
fi
echo "✅ Found skill at: $SKILL_PATH"
```
### Step 2: Invoke plugin-integration-checker Skill
The actual integration check is performed by the `plugin-integration-checker` skill. This command simply provides a convenient entry point.
```
Use the plugin-integration-checker skill to analyze the skill at: {SKILL_PATH}
The skill will:
1. Detect plugin context (look for .claude-plugin/plugin.json)
2. Scan for related commands and agents
3. Verify three-layer architecture compliance
4. Generate integration report with scoring
5. Provide specific recommendations
Display the full report to the user.
```
### Step 3: Display Results
The skill will generate a comprehensive report. Make sure to display:
- **Plugin Information**: Name, version, skill location
- **Integration Status**: Related commands and agents
- **Architecture Analysis**: Scoring for each layer
- **Overall Score**: 0.0-1.0 with interpretation
- **Recommendations**: Specific improvements with examples
### Step 4: Offer Next Steps
After displaying the report, offer to:
```
Based on the integration report, would you like me to:
1. Fix integration issues (create/update commands or agents)
2. Generate ARCHITECTURE.md documentation
3. Update README.md with architecture section
4. Review specific components in detail
5. Nothing, the integration looks good
```
Use AskUserQuestion to present these options.

## Example Usage
### Check Current Directory
```bash
cd plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration
# Output:
# 📍 Using current directory: /path/to/my-skill
# ✅ Found skill at: /path/to/my-skill
# 🔍 Analyzing plugin integration...
# [Full report displayed]
```
### Check Specific Skill
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration plugins/tldraw-helper/skills/tldraw-canvas-api
# Output:
# ✅ Found skill at: plugins/tldraw-helper/skills/tldraw-canvas-api
# 🔍 Analyzing plugin integration...
# [Full report displayed]
```
### Standalone Skill (Not in Plugin)
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration ~/.claude/skills/my-standalone-skill
# Output:
# ✅ Found skill at: ~/.claude/skills/my-standalone-skill
# ℹ️ This skill is standalone (not part of a plugin)
# No integration check needed.
```
## Key Design Principles
### 1. Command as Thin Wrapper
This command doesn't implement the checking logic itself. It:
- Validates input (skill path)
- Delegates to the skill (plugin-integration-checker)
- Displays results
- Offers next steps
**Why:** Keeps command simple and focused on orchestration.
### 2. Skill Does the Work
The `plugin-integration-checker` skill contains all the logic:
- Plugin detection
- Component scanning
- Architecture verification
- Report generation
**Why:** Reusable logic, can be called from other contexts.
### 3. User-Friendly Interface
The command provides:
- Clear error messages
- Progress indicators
- Formatted output
- Actionable next steps
**Why:** Great user experience.
## Error Handling
### Skill Not Found
```
❌ Skill not found at: /invalid/path
Please provide a valid path to a skill directory or skill.md file
Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
```
### Not a Skill Directory
```
❌ No skill path provided and current directory is not a skill.
Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
Tip: Navigate to a skill directory or provide the path as an argument.
```
### Permission Issues
```
❌ Cannot read skill at: /path/to/skill
Permission denied. Please check file permissions.
```
## Integration with Other Commands
This command complements other agent-skills-toolkit commands:
- **After `/create-skill`**: Automatically check integration
- **After `/improve-skill`**: Verify improvements didn't break integration
- **Before publishing**: Final integration check
## Summary
This command provides a **convenient entry point** for checking plugin integration:
1. ✅ Simple to use (just provide skill path)
2. ✅ Delegates to specialized skill
3. ✅ Provides comprehensive report
4. ✅ Offers actionable next steps
5. ✅ Follows command-as-orchestrator pattern
**Remember:** The command orchestrates, the skill executes, following our three-layer architecture!

name: plugin-integration-checker
description: Check if a skill is part of a plugin and verify its integration with commands and agents. Use after creating or modifying a skill to ensure proper plugin architecture. Triggers on "check plugin integration", "verify skill integration", "is this skill in a plugin", "check command-skill-agent integration", or after skill creation/modification when the skill path contains ".claude-plugins" or "plugins/".

# Plugin Integration Checker
After creating or modifying a skill, this skill checks whether it's part of a Claude Code plugin and verifies proper integration with commands and agents following the three-layer architecture pattern.
## When to Use
Use this skill automatically after:
- Creating a new skill that's part of a plugin
- Modifying an existing skill in a plugin
- User asks to check plugin integration
- Skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`
## Three-Layer Architecture
A well-designed plugin follows this pattern:
```
Command (Orchestration) → Agent (Execution) → Skill (Knowledge)
```
### Layer Responsibilities
| Layer | Responsibility | Contains |
|-------|---------------|----------|
| **Command** | Workflow orchestration | Prerequisites checks, user interaction, agent delegation |
| **Agent** | Autonomous execution | Task planning, API calls, iteration, error handling |
| **Skill** | Knowledge documentation | API reference, best practices, examples, troubleshooting |
## Integration Check Process
### Step 1: Detect Plugin Context
```bash
# Check if skill is in a plugin directory
SKILL_PATH="$1" # Path to the skill directory
# Look for plugin.json in parent directories
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$SKILL_PATH")
PLUGIN_ROOT=""
while [ "$CURRENT_DIR" != "/" ]; do
if [ -f "$CURRENT_DIR/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" ]; then
PLUGIN_ROOT="$CURRENT_DIR"
break
fi
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$CURRENT_DIR")
done
if [ -z "$PLUGIN_ROOT" ]; then
echo "✅ This skill is standalone (not part of a plugin)"
exit 0
fi
echo "🔍 Found plugin at: $PLUGIN_ROOT"
```
### Step 2: Read Plugin Metadata
```bash
# Extract plugin info
PLUGIN_NAME=$(jq -r '.name' "$PLUGIN_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json")
PLUGIN_VERSION=$(jq -r '.version' "$PLUGIN_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json")
echo "Plugin: $PLUGIN_NAME v$PLUGIN_VERSION"
```
### Step 3: Check for Related Commands
Look for commands that might use this skill:
```bash
# List all commands in the plugin
COMMANDS_DIR="$PLUGIN_ROOT/commands"
if [ -d "$COMMANDS_DIR" ]; then
echo "📋 Checking commands..."
# Get skill name from directory
SKILL_NAME=$(basename "$SKILL_PATH")
# Search for references to this skill in commands
grep -r "$SKILL_NAME" "$COMMANDS_DIR" --include="*.md" -l
fi
```
### Step 4: Check for Related Agents
Look for agents that might reference this skill:
```bash
# List all agents in the plugin
AGENTS_DIR="$PLUGIN_ROOT/agents"
if [ -d "$AGENTS_DIR" ]; then
echo "🤖 Checking agents..."
# Search for references to this skill in agents
grep -r "$SKILL_NAME" "$AGENTS_DIR" --include="*.md" -l
fi
```
### Step 5: Analyze Integration Quality
For each command/agent that references this skill, check:
#### Command Integration Checklist
Read the command file and verify:
- [ ] **Prerequisites Check**: Does it check if required services/tools are running?
- [ ] **User Interaction**: Does it use AskUserQuestion for gathering requirements?
- [ ] **Agent Delegation**: Does it delegate complex work to an agent?
- [ ] **Skill Reference**: Does it mention the skill in the implementation section?
- [ ] **Result Verification**: Does it verify the final result (screenshot, output, etc.)?
**Good Example:**
```markdown
## Implementation
### Step 1: Check Prerequisites
curl -s http://localhost:7236/api/doc | jq .
### Step 2: Gather Requirements
Use AskUserQuestion to collect user preferences.
### Step 3: Delegate to Agent
Agent({
subagent_type: "plugin-name:agent-name",
prompt: "Task description with context"
})
### Step 4: Verify Results
Take screenshot and display to user.
```
**Bad Example:**
```markdown
## Implementation
Use the skill to do the task.
```
#### Agent Integration Checklist
Read the agent file and verify:
- [ ] **Clear Capabilities**: Does it define what it can do?
- [ ] **Skill Reference**: Does it explicitly reference the skill for API/implementation details?
- [ ] **Workflow Steps**: Does it outline the execution workflow?
- [ ] **Error Handling**: Does it mention how to handle errors?
- [ ] **Iteration**: Does it describe how to verify and refine results?
**Good Example:**
```markdown
## Your Workflow
1. Understand requirements
2. Check prerequisites
3. Plan approach (reference Skill for best practices)
4. Execute task (reference Skill for API details)
5. Verify results
6. Iterate if needed
Reference the {skill-name} skill for:
- API endpoints and usage
- Best practices
- Examples and patterns
```
**Bad Example:**
```markdown
## Your Workflow
Create the output based on user requirements.
```
#### Skill Quality Checklist
Verify the skill itself follows best practices:
- [ ] **Clear Description**: Triggers, use cases, and contexts (under 1024 chars)
- [ ] **API Documentation**: Complete endpoint reference with examples
- [ ] **Best Practices**: Guidelines for using the API/tool effectively
- [ ] **Examples**: Working code examples
- [ ] **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and solutions
- [ ] **No Workflow Logic**: Skill documents "how", not "when" or "what"
### Step 6: Generate Integration Report
Create a report showing:
1. **Plugin Context**
- Plugin name and version
- Skill location within plugin
2. **Integration Status**
- Commands that reference this skill
- Agents that reference this skill
- Standalone usage (if no references found)
3. **Architecture Compliance**
- ✅ Follows three-layer pattern
- ⚠️ Partial integration (missing command or agent)
- ❌ Poor integration (monolithic command, no separation)
4. **Recommendations**
- Specific improvements needed
- Examples of correct patterns
- Links to architecture documentation
## Report Format
```markdown
# Plugin Integration Report
## Plugin Information
- **Name**: {plugin-name}
- **Version**: {version}
- **Skill**: {skill-name}
## Integration Status
### Commands
{list of commands that reference this skill}
### Agents
{list of agents that reference this skill}
## Architecture Analysis
### Command Layer
- ✅ Prerequisites check
- ✅ User interaction
- ✅ Agent delegation
- ⚠️ Missing result verification
### Agent Layer
- ✅ Clear capabilities
- ✅ Skill reference
- ❌ No error handling mentioned
### Skill Layer
- ✅ API documentation
- ✅ Examples
- ✅ Best practices
## Recommendations
1. **Command Improvements**
- Add result verification step
- Example: Take screenshot after agent completes
2. **Agent Improvements**
- Add error handling section
- Example: "If API call fails, retry with exponential backoff"
3. **Overall Architecture**
- ✅ Follows three-layer pattern
- Consider adding more examples to skill
## Reference Documentation
See PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md for detailed guidance on:
- Three-layer architecture pattern
- Command orchestration best practices
- Agent execution patterns
- Skill documentation standards
```
## Implementation Details
### Detecting Integration Patterns
**Good Command Pattern:**
```bash
# Look for these patterns in command files
grep -E "(Agent\(|subagent_type|AskUserQuestion)" command.md
```
**Good Agent Pattern:**
```bash
# Look for skill references in agent files
grep -E "(reference.*skill|see.*skill|skill.*for)" agent.md -i
```
**Good Skill Pattern:**
```bash
# Check skill has API docs and examples
grep -E "(## API|### Endpoint|```bash|## Example)" skill.md
```
### Integration Scoring
Calculate an integration score:
```
Score = (Command Quality × 0.4) + (Agent Quality × 0.3) + (Skill Quality × 0.3)
Where each quality score is:
- 1.0 = Excellent (all checklist items passed)
- 0.7 = Good (most items passed)
- 0.4 = Fair (some items passed)
- 0.0 = Poor (few or no items passed)
```
**Interpretation:**
- 0.8-1.0: ✅ Excellent integration
- 0.6-0.8: ⚠️ Good but needs improvement
- 0.4-0.6: ⚠️ Fair, significant improvements needed
- 0.0-0.4: ❌ Poor integration, major refactoring needed
## Common Anti-Patterns to Detect
### ❌ Monolithic Command
```markdown
## Implementation
curl -X POST http://api/endpoint ...
# Command tries to do everything
```
**Fix:** Delegate to agent
### ❌ Agent Without Skill Reference
```markdown
## Your Workflow
1. Do the task
2. Return results
```
**Fix:** Add explicit skill references
### ❌ Skill With Workflow Logic
```markdown
## When to Use
First check if the service is running, then gather user requirements...
```
**Fix:** Move workflow to command, keep only "how to use API" in skill
## After Generating Report
1. **Display the report** to the user
2. **Offer to fix issues** if any are found
3. **Create/update ARCHITECTURE.md** in plugin root if it doesn't exist
4. **Update README.md** to include architecture section if missing
## Example Usage
```bash
# After creating a skill
/check-integration ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill
# Output:
# 🔍 Found plugin at: ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin
# Plugin: my-plugin v1.0.0
#
# 📋 Checking commands...
# Found: commands/do-task.md
#
# 🤖 Checking agents...
# Found: agents/task-executor.md
#
# ✅ Integration Analysis Complete
# Score: 0.85 (Excellent)
#
# See full report: my-plugin-integration-report.md
```
## Key Principles
1. **Automatic Detection**: Run automatically when skill path indicates plugin context
2. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Check all three layers (command, agent, skill)
3. **Actionable Feedback**: Provide specific recommendations with examples
4. **Architecture Enforcement**: Ensure plugins follow the three-layer pattern
5. **Documentation**: Generate reports and update plugin documentation
## Reference Files
For detailed architecture guidance, refer to:
- `PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md` - Three-layer architecture pattern
- `tldraw-helper/ARCHITECTURE.md` - Reference implementation
- `tldraw-helper/commands/draw.md` - Example command with proper integration
---
**Remember:** The goal is to ensure skills, commands, and agents work together seamlessly, with clear separation of concerns and proper delegation patterns.

## ⚠️ 需要改进的地方
### 1. Description 字段结构 (中等优先级)
**当前 description**:
```
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance.
Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill,
run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize
a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
```
**分析**:
- ✅ 说明了功能("Create new skills...")
- ✅ 说明了使用场景("Use when users want to...")
- ⚠️ **缺少具体的触发短语**
**建议改进**:
按照公式 `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`,添加用户可能说的具体短语:
```yaml
description: Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy. Triggers on phrases like "make a skill", "create a new skill", "improve this skill", "test my skill", "optimize skill description", or "turn this into a skill".
```
**新长度**: 约 480 字符(仍在 1024 限制内)
### 2. SKILL.md 行数 (低优先级)
**当前**: 502 行
**理想**: <500 行
**建议**:
- 当前超出仅 2 行,在可接受范围内
- 如果未来继续增长,可以考虑将某些章节移到 `references/` 中
- 候选章节:
- "Communicating with the user" (可移至 `references/communication_guide.md`)
- "Claude.ai-specific instructions" (可移至 `references/platform_adaptations.md`)
### 3. 参考文档目录 (低优先级)
**当前状态**:
- `constraints_and_rules.md`: 332 行 (>300 行)
- `schemas.md`: 430 行 (>300 行)
**建议**:
根据 `constraints_and_rules.md` 自己的规则:"大型参考文件(>300 行)应包含目录"
应为这两个文件添加目录(Table of Contents)。
### 4. 使用场景分类 (低优先级)
**观察**:
skill-creator 本身属于 **Category 2: Workflow Automation**(工作流程自动化)
**建议**:
可以在 SKILL.md 开头添加一个简短的元信息说明:
```markdown
**Skill Category**: Workflow Automation
**Use Case Pattern**: Multi-step skill creation, testing, and iteration workflow
```
这有助于用户理解这个技能的设计模式。

# Skill Creator Pro
Creates, improves, and tests Agent Skills for any domain — engineering, content creation, research, personal productivity, and beyond.
## Workflow Overview
```
Phase 1: Understand → Phase 2: Design → Phase 3: Write
Phase 4: Test → Phase 5: Improve → Phase 6: Optimize
```
Jump in at the right phase based on where the user is:
- "I want to make a skill for X" → Start at Phase 1
- "Here's my skill draft, help me improve it" → Start at Phase 4
- "My skill isn't triggering correctly" → Start at Phase 6
- "Just vibe with me" → Skip phases as needed, stay flexible
Cool? Cool.
## Communicating with the user
The skill creator is liable to be used by people across a wide range of familiarity with coding jargon. If you haven't heard (and how could you, it's only very recently that it started), there's a trend now where the power of Claude is inspiring plumbers to open up their terminals, parents and grandparents to google "how to install npm". On the other hand, the bulk of users are probably fairly computer-literate.
So please pay attention to context cues to understand how to phrase your communication! In the default case, just to give you some idea:
- "evaluation" and "benchmark" are borderline, but OK
- for "JSON" and "assertion" you want to see serious cues from the user that they know what those things are before using them without explaining them
It's OK to briefly explain terms if you're in doubt, and feel free to clarify terms with a short definition if you're unsure if the user will get it.
---
## Phase 1: Understand
This phase uses the Inversion pattern — ask first, build later. If the current conversation already contains a workflow the user wants to capture (e.g., "turn this into a skill"), extract answers from the conversation history first before asking.
Ask these questions **one at a time**, wait for each answer. DO NOT proceed to Phase 2 until all required questions are answered.
**Q1 (Required)**: What should this skill enable Claude to do?
**Q2 (Required)**: When should it trigger? What would a user say to invoke it?
**Q3 (Required)**: Which content pattern fits best?
Read `references/content-patterns.md` and recommend 1-2 patterns with brief reasoning. Let the user confirm before continuing.
**Q4**: What's the expected output format?
**Q5**: Should we set up test cases? Skills with objectively verifiable outputs (file transforms, data extraction, fixed workflows) benefit from test cases. Skills with subjective outputs (writing style, art direction) often don't need them. Suggest the appropriate default, but let the user decide.
**Gate**: All required questions answered + content pattern confirmed → proceed to Phase 2.
### Interview and Research
After the 5 questions, proactively ask about edge cases, input/output formats, example files, success criteria, and dependencies. Wait to write test prompts until you've got this part ironed out.
Check available MCPs — if useful for research (searching docs, finding similar skills, looking up best practices), research in parallel via subagents if available, otherwise inline.
---
## Phase 2: Design
Before writing, read:
- `references/content-patterns.md` — apply the confirmed pattern's structure
- `references/design_principles.md` — 5 principles to follow
- `references/patterns.md` — implementation patterns (config.json, gotchas, script reuse, etc.)
Decide:
- File structure needed (`scripts/` / `references/` / `assets/`)
- Whether `config.json` setup is needed (user needs to provide personal config)
- Whether on-demand hooks are needed
**Gate**: Design decisions clear → proceed to Phase 3.
---
## Phase 3: Write
Based on the interview and design decisions, write the SKILL.md.
### Components
- **name**: Skill identifier (kebab-case, no "claude" or "anthropic" — see `references/constraints_and_rules.md`)
- **description**: The primary triggering mechanism. Include what the skill does AND when to use it. Follow the formula: `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`. Under 1024 characters, no XML angle brackets. Make it slightly "pushy" to combat undertriggering — see `references/constraints_and_rules.md` for guidance.
- **compatibility**: Required tools/dependencies (optional, rarely needed)
- **the rest of the skill :)**
### Skill Writing Guide
**Before writing**, read:
- `references/content-patterns.md` — apply the confirmed pattern's structure to the SKILL.md body
- `references/design_principles.md` — 5 design principles
- `references/constraints_and_rules.md` — technical constraints, naming conventions
- Keep `references/quick_checklist.md` handy for pre-publication verification
#### Anatomy of a Skill
```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md (required)
│ ├── YAML frontmatter (name, description required)
│ └── Markdown instructions
└── Bundled Resources (optional)
├── scripts/ - Executable code for deterministic/repetitive tasks
├── references/ - Docs loaded into context as needed
└── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts)
```
#### Progressive Disclosure
Skills use a three-level loading system:
1. **Metadata** (name + description) - Always in context (~100 words)
2. **SKILL.md body** - In context whenever skill triggers (<500 lines ideal)
3. **Bundled resources** - As needed (unlimited, scripts can execute without loading)
These word counts are approximate and you can feel free to go longer if needed.
**Key patterns:**
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines; if you're approaching this limit, add an additional layer of hierarchy along with clear pointers about where the model using the skill should go next to follow up.
- Reference files clearly from SKILL.md with guidance on when to read them
- For large reference files (>300 lines), include a table of contents
**Domain organization**: When a skill supports multiple domains/frameworks, organize by variant:
```
cloud-deploy/
├── SKILL.md (workflow + selection)
└── references/
├── aws.md
├── gcp.md
└── azure.md
```
Claude reads only the relevant reference file.
#### Principle of Lack of Surprise
This goes without saying, but skills must not contain malware, exploit code, or any content that could compromise system security. A skill's contents should not surprise the user in their intent if described. Don't go along with requests to create misleading skills or skills designed to facilitate unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or other malicious activities. Things like a "roleplay as an XYZ" are OK though.
#### Writing Patterns
Prefer using the imperative form in instructions.
**Defining output formats** - You can do it like this:
```markdown
## Report structure
ALWAYS use this exact template:
# [Title]
## Executive summary
## Key findings
## Recommendations
```
**Examples pattern** - It's useful to include examples. You can format them like this (but if "Input" and "Output" are in the examples you might want to deviate a little):
```markdown
## Commit message format
**Example 1:**
Input: Added user authentication with JWT tokens
Output: feat(auth): implement JWT-based authentication
```
**Gotchas section** - Every skill should have one. Add it as you discover real failures:
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **[Problem]**: [What goes wrong] → [What to do instead]
```
**config.json setup** - If the skill needs user configuration, check for `config.json` at startup and use `AskUserQuestion` to collect missing values. See `references/patterns.md` for the standard flow.
### Writing Style
Try to explain to the model *why* things are important in lieu of heavy-handed musty MUSTs. Use theory of mind and try to make the skill general and not super-narrow to specific examples. Start by writing a draft and then look at it with fresh eyes and improve it.
If you find yourself stacking ALWAYS/NEVER, stop and ask: can I explain the reasoning instead? A skill that explains *why* is more robust than one that just issues commands.
**Gate**: Draft complete, checklist reviewed → proceed to Phase 4.
### Test Cases
After writing the skill draft, come up with 2-3 realistic test prompts — the kind of thing a real user would actually say. Share them with the user: [you don't have to use this exact language] "Here are a few test cases I'd like to try. Do these look right, or do you want to add more?" Then run them.
Save test cases to `evals/evals.json`. Don't write assertions yet — just the prompts. You'll draft assertions in the next step while the runs are in progress.
```json
{
"skill_name": "example-skill",
"evals": [
{
"id": 1,
"prompt": "User's task prompt",
"expected_output": "Description of expected result",
"files": []
}
]
}
```
See `references/schemas.md` for the full schema (including the `assertions` field, which you'll add later).
### Plugin Integration Check
**IMPORTANT**: After writing the skill draft, check if this skill is part of a Claude Code plugin. If the skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`, automatically perform a plugin integration check.
#### When to Check
Check plugin integration if:
- Skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`
- User mentions "plugin", "command", or "agent" in context
- You notice related commands or agents in the same directory structure
#### What to Check
1. **Detect Plugin Context**
```bash
# Look for plugin.json in parent directories
SKILL_DIR="path/to/skill"
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$SKILL_DIR")
while [ "$CURRENT_DIR" != "/" ]; do
if [ -f "$CURRENT_DIR/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" ]; then
echo "Found plugin at: $CURRENT_DIR"
break
fi
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$CURRENT_DIR")
done
```
2. **Check for Related Components**
- Look for `commands/` directory - are there commands that should use this skill?
- Look for `agents/` directory - are there agents that should reference this skill?
- Search for skill name in existing commands and agents
3. **Verify Three-Layer Architecture**
The plugin should follow this pattern:
```
Command (Orchestration) → Agent (Execution) → Skill (Knowledge)
```
**Command Layer** should:
- Check prerequisites (is service running?)
- Gather user requirements (use AskUserQuestion)
- Delegate complex work to agent
- Verify final results
**Agent Layer** should:
- Define clear capabilities
- Reference skill for API/implementation details
- Outline execution workflow
- Handle errors and iteration
**Skill Layer** should:
- Document API endpoints and usage
- Provide best practices
- Include examples
- Add troubleshooting guide
- NOT contain workflow logic (that's in commands)
4. **Generate Integration Report**
If this skill is part of a plugin, generate a brief report:
```markdown
## Plugin Integration Status
Plugin: {name} v{version}
Skill: {skill-name}
### Related Components
- Commands: {list or "none found"}
- Agents: {list or "none found"}
### Architecture Check
- [ ] Command orchestrates workflow
- [ ] Agent executes autonomously
- [ ] Skill documents knowledge
- [ ] Clear separation of concerns
### Recommendations
{specific suggestions if integration is incomplete}
```
5. **Offer to Fix Integration Issues**
If you find issues:
- Missing command that should orchestrate this skill
- Agent that doesn't reference the skill
- Command that tries to do everything (monolithic)
- Skill that contains workflow logic
Offer to create/fix these components following the three-layer pattern.
#### Example Integration Check
```bash
# After creating skill at: plugins/my-plugin/skills/api-helper/
# 1. Detect plugin
Found plugin: my-plugin v1.0.0
# 2. Check for related components
Commands found:

**After integration check**, proceed with test cases as normal.
## Phase 4: Test
### Running and evaluating test cases
This section is one continuous sequence — don't stop partway through. Do NOT use `/skill-test` or any other testing skill.
Put results in `-workspace/` as a sibling to the skill directory. Within the workspace, organize results by iteration (`iteration-1/`, `iteration-2/`, etc.) and within that, each test case gets a directory (`eval-0/`, `eval-1/`, etc.). Don't create all of this upfront — just create directories as you go.
### Step 1: Spawn all runs (with-skill AND baseline) in the same turn
For each test case, spawn two subagents in the same turn — one with the skill, one without. This is important: don't spawn the with-skill runs first and then come back for baselines later. Launch everything at once so it all finishes around the same time.
**With-skill run:**
```
Execute this task:
- Skill path:
- Task:
- Input files:
- Save outputs to: /iteration-/eval-/with_skill/outputs/
- Outputs to save:
```
**Baseline run** (same prompt, but the baseline depends on context):
- **Creating a new skill**: no skill at all. Same prompt, no skill path, save to `without_skill/outputs/`.
- **Improving an existing skill**: the old version. Before editing, snapshot the skill (`cp -r /skill-snapshot/`), then point the baseline subagent at the snapshot. Save to `old_skill/outputs/`.
Write an `eval_metadata.json` for each test case (assertions can be empty for now). Give each eval a descriptive name based on what it's testing — not just "eval-0". Use this name for the directory too. If this iteration uses new or modified eval prompts, create these files for each new eval directory — don't assume they carry over from previous iterations.
```json
{
"eval_id": 0,
"eval_name": "descriptive-name-here",
"prompt": "The user's task prompt",
"assertions": []
}
```
### Step 2: While runs are in progress, draft assertions
Don't just wait for the runs to finish — you can use this time productively. Draft quantitative assertions for each test case and explain them to the user. If assertions already exist in `evals/evals.json`, review them and explain what they check.
Good assertions are objectively verifiable and have descriptive names — they should read clearly in the benchmark viewer so someone glancing at the results immediately understands what each one checks. Subjective skills (writing style, design quality) are better evaluated qualitatively — don't force assertions onto things that need human judgment.
Update the `eval_metadata.json` files and `evals/evals.json` with the assertions once drafted. Also explain to the user what they'll see in the viewer — both the qualitative outputs and the quantitative benchmark.
### Step 3: As runs complete, capture timing data
When each subagent task completes, you receive a notification containing `total_tokens` and `duration_ms`. Save this data immediately to `timing.json` in the run directory:
```json
{
"total_tokens": 84852,
"duration_ms": 23332,
"total_duration_seconds": 23.3
}
```
This is the only opportunity to capture this data — it comes through the task notification and isn't persisted elsewhere. Process each notification as it arrives rather than trying to batch them.
### Step 4: Grade, aggregate, and launch the viewer
Once all runs are done:
1. **Grade each run** — spawn a grader subagent (or grade inline) that reads `agents/grader.md` and evaluates each assertion against the outputs. Save results to `grading.json` in each run directory. The grading.json expectations array must use the fields `text`, `passed`, and `evidence` (not `name`/`met`/`details` or other variants) — the viewer depends on these exact field names. For assertions that can be checked programmatically, write and run a script rather than eyeballing it — scripts are faster, more reliable, and can be reused across iterations.
2. **Aggregate into benchmark** — run the aggregation script from the skill-creator directory:
```bash
python -m scripts.aggregate_benchmark /iteration-N --skill-name
```
This produces `benchmark.json` and `benchmark.md` with pass_rate, time, and tokens for each configuration, with mean ± stddev and the delta. If generating benchmark.json manually, see `references/schemas.md` for the exact schema the viewer expects.
Put each with_skill version before its baseline counterpart.
3. **Do an analyst pass** — read the benchmark data and surface patterns the aggregate stats might hide. See `agents/analyzer.md` (the "Analyzing Benchmark Results" section) for what to look for — things like assertions that always pass regardless of skill (non-discriminating), high-variance evals (possibly flaky), and time/token tradeoffs.
4. **Launch the viewer** with both qualitative outputs and quantitative data:
```bash
nohup python /eval-viewer/generate_review.py \
/iteration-N \
--skill-name "my-skill" \
--benchmark /iteration-N/benchmark.json \
> /dev/null 2>&1 &
VIEWER_PID=$!
```
For iteration 2+, also pass `--previous-workspace /iteration-`.
**Cowork / headless environments:** If `webbrowser.open()` is not available or the environment has no display, use `--static ` to write a standalone HTML file instead of starting a server. Feedback will be downloaded as a `feedback.json` file when the user clicks "Submit All Reviews". After download, copy `feedback.json` into the workspace directory for the next iteration to pick up.
Note: please use generate_review.py to create the viewer; there's no need to write custom HTML.
5. **Tell the user** something like: "I've opened the results in your browser. There are two tabs — 'Outputs' lets you click through each test case and leave feedback, 'Benchmark' shows the quantitative comparison. When you're done, come back here and let me know."
### What the user sees in the viewer
The "Outputs" tab shows one test case at a time:
- **Prompt**: the task that was given
- **Output**: the files the skill produced, rendered inline where possible
- **Previous Output** (iteration 2+): collapsed section showing last iteration's output
- **Formal Grades** (if grading was run): collapsed section showing assertion pass/fail
- **Feedback**: a textbox that auto-saves as they type
- **Previous Feedback** (iteration 2+): their comments from last time, shown below the textbox
The "Benchmark" tab shows the stats summary: pass rates, timing, and token usage for each configuration, with per-eval breakdowns and analyst observations.
Navigation is via prev/next buttons or arrow keys. When done, they click "Submit All Reviews" which saves all feedback to `feedback.json`.
### Step 5: Read the feedback
When the user tells you they're done, read `feedback.json`:
```json
{
"reviews": [
{"run_id": "eval-0-with_skill", "feedback": "the chart is missing axis labels", "timestamp": "..."},
{"run_id": "eval-1-with_skill", "feedback": "", "timestamp": "..."},
{"run_id": "eval-2-with_skill", "feedback": "perfect, love this", "timestamp": "..."}
],
"status": "complete"
}
```
Empty feedback means the user thought it was fine. Focus your improvements on the test cases where the user had specific complaints.
Kill the viewer server when you're done with it:
```bash
kill $VIEWER_PID 2>/dev/null
```
---
## Phase 5: Improve
### Improving the skill
This is the heart of the loop. You've run the test cases, the user has reviewed the results, and now you need to make the skill better based on their feedback.
### How to think about improvements
1. **Generalize from the feedback.** The big picture thing that's happening here is that we're trying to create skills that can be used a million times (maybe literally, maybe even more who knows) across many different prompts. Here you and the user are iterating on only a few examples over and over again because it helps move faster. The user knows these examples in and out and it's quick for them to assess new outputs. But if the skill you and the user are codeveloping works only for those examples, it's useless. Rather than put in fiddly overfitty changes, or oppressively constrictive MUSTs, if there's some stubborn issue, you might try branching out and using different metaphors, or recommending different patterns of working. It's relatively cheap to try and maybe you'll land on something great.
2. **Keep the prompt lean.** Remove things that aren't pulling their weight. Make sure to read the transcripts, not just the final outputs — if it looks like the skill is making the model waste a bunch of time doing things that are unproductive, you can try getting rid of the parts of the skill that are making it do that and seeing what happens.
3. **Explain the why.** Try hard to explain the **why** behind everything you're asking the model to do. Today's LLMs are *smart*. They have good theory of mind and when given a good harness can go beyond rote instructions and really make things happen. Even if the feedback from the user is terse or frustrated, try to actually understand the task and why the user is writing what they wrote, and what they actually wrote, and then transmit this understanding into the instructions. If you find yourself writing ALWAYS or NEVER in all caps, or using super rigid structures, that's a yellow flag — if possible, reframe and explain the reasoning so that the model understands why the thing you're asking for is important. That's a more humane, powerful, and effective approach.
4. **Look for repeated work across test cases.** Read the transcripts from the test runs and notice if the subagents all independently wrote similar helper scripts or took the same multi-step approach to something. If all 3 test cases resulted in the subagent writing a `create_docx.py` or a `build_chart.py`, that's a strong signal the skill should bundle that script. Write it once, put it in `scripts/`, and tell the skill to use it. This saves every future invocation from reinventing the wheel.
This task is pretty important (we are trying to create billions a year in economic value here!) and your thinking time is not the blocker; take your time and really mull things over. I'd suggest writing a draft revision and then looking at it anew and making improvements. Really do your best to get into the head of the user and understand what they want and need.
### The iteration loop
After improving the skill:
1. Apply your improvements to the skill
2. Rerun all test cases into a new `iteration-/` directory, including baseline runs. If you're creating a new skill, the baseline is always `without_skill` (no skill) — that stays the same across iterations. If you're improving an existing skill, use your judgment on what makes sense as the baseline: the original version the user came in with, or the previous iteration.
3. Launch the reviewer with `--previous-workspace` pointing at the previous iteration
4. Wait for the user to review and tell you they're done
5. Read the new feedback, improve again, repeat
Keep going until:
- The user says they're happy
- The feedback is all empty (everything looks good)
- You're not making meaningful progress
---
## Advanced: Blind comparison
For situations where you want a more rigorous comparison between two versions of a skill (e.g., the user asks "is the new version actually better?"), there's a blind comparison system. Read `agents/comparator.md` and `agents/analyzer.md` for the details. The basic idea is: give two outputs to an independent agent without telling it which is which, and let it judge quality. Then analyze why the winner won.
This is optional, requires subagents, and most users won't need it. The human review loop is usually sufficient.
---
## Phase 6: Optimize Description
### Description Optimization
The description field in SKILL.md frontmatter is the primary mechanism that determines whether Claude invokes a skill. After creating or improving a skill, offer to optimize the description for better triggering accuracy.
### Step 1: Generate trigger eval queries
Create 20 eval queries — a mix of should-trigger and should-not-trigger. Save as JSON:
```json
[
{"query": "the user prompt", "should_trigger": true},
{"query": "another prompt", "should_trigger": false}
]
```
The queries must be realistic and something a Claude Code or Claude.ai user would actually type. Not abstract requests, but requests that are concrete and specific and have a good amount of detail. For instance, file paths, personal context about the user's job or situation, column names and values, company names, URLs. A little bit of backstory. Some might be in lowercase or contain abbreviations or typos or casual speech. Use a mix of different lengths, and focus on edge cases rather than making them clear-cut (the user will get a chance to sign off on them).
Bad: `"Format this data"`, `"Extract text from PDF"`, `"Create a chart"`
Good: `"ok so my boss just sent me this xlsx file (its in my downloads, called something like 'Q4 sales final FINAL v2.xlsx') and she wants me to add a column that shows the profit margin as a percentage. The revenue is in column C and costs are in column D i think"`
For the **should-trigger** queries (8-10), think about coverage. You want different phrasings of the same intent — some formal, some casual. Include cases where the user doesn't explicitly name the skill or file type but clearly needs it. Throw in some uncommon use cases and cases where this skill competes with another but should win.
For the **should-not-trigger** queries (8-10), the most valuable ones are the near-misses — queries that share keywords or concepts with the skill but actually need something different. Think adjacent domains, ambiguous phrasing where a naive keyword match would trigger but shouldn't, and cases where the query touches on something the skill does but in a context where another tool is more appropriate.
The key thing to avoid: don't make should-not-trigger queries obviously irrelevant. "Write a fibonacci function" as a negative test for a PDF skill is too easy — it doesn't test anything. The negative cases should be genuinely tricky.
### Step 2: Review with user
Present the eval set to the user for review using the HTML template:
1. Read the template from `assets/eval_review.html`
2. Replace the placeholders:
- `__EVAL_DATA_PLACEHOLDER__` → the JSON array of eval items (no quotes around it — it's a JS variable assignment)
- `__SKILL_NAME_PLACEHOLDER__` → the skill's name
- `__SKILL_DESCRIPTION_PLACEHOLDER__` → the skill's current description
3. Write to a temp file (e.g., `/tmp/eval_review_.html`) and open it: `open /tmp/eval_review_.html`
4. The user can edit queries, toggle should-trigger, add/remove entries, then click "Export Eval Set"
5. The file downloads to `~/Downloads/eval_set.json` — check the Downloads folder for the most recent version in case there are multiple (e.g., `eval_set (1).json`)
This step matters — bad eval queries lead to bad descriptions.
### Step 3: Run the optimization loop
Tell the user: "This will take some time — I'll run the optimization loop in the background and check on it periodically."
Save the eval set to the workspace, then run in the background:
```bash
python -m scripts.run_loop \
--eval-set \
--skill-path \
--model \
--max-iterations 5 \
--verbose
```
Use the model ID from your system prompt (the one powering the current session) so the triggering test matches what the user actually experiences.
While it runs, periodically tail the output to give the user updates on which iteration it's on and what the scores look like.
This handles the full optimization loop automatically. It splits the eval set into 60% train and 40% held-out test, evaluates the current description (running each query 3 times to get a reliable trigger rate), then calls Claude with extended thinking to propose improvements based on what failed. It re-evaluates each new description on both train and test, iterating up to 5 times. When it's done, it opens an HTML report in the browser showing the results per iteration and returns JSON with `best_description` — selected by test score rather than train score to avoid overfitting.
### How skill triggering works
Understanding the triggering mechanism helps design better eval queries. Skills appear in Claude's `available_skills` list with their name + description, and Claude decides whether to consult a skill based on that description. The important thing to know is that Claude only consults skills for tasks it can't easily handle on its own — simple, one-step queries like "read this PDF" may not trigger a skill even if the description matches perfectly, because Claude can handle them directly with basic tools. Complex, multi-step, or specialized queries reliably trigger skills when the description matches.
This means your eval queries should be substantive enough that Claude would actually benefit from consulting a skill. Simple queries like "read file X" are poor test cases — they won't trigger skills regardless of description quality.
### Step 4: Apply the result
Take `best_description` from the JSON output and update the skill's SKILL.md frontmatter. Show the user before/after and report the scores.
---
### Final Quality Check
Before packaging, run through `references/quick_checklist.md` to verify:
- All technical constraints met (naming, character limits, forbidden terms)
- Description follows the formula: `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`
- File structure correct (SKILL.md capitalization, kebab-case folders)
- Security requirements satisfied (no malware, no misleading functionality)
- Quantitative success criteria achieved (90%+ trigger rate, efficient tool usage)
- Design principles applied (Progressive Disclosure, Composability, Portability)
This checklist helps catch common issues before publication.
---
### Package and Present (only if `present_files` tool is available)
Check whether you have access to the `present_files` tool. If you don't, skip this step. If you do, package the skill and present the .skill file to the user:
```bash
python -m scripts.package_skill
```
After packaging, direct the user to the resulting `.skill` file path so they can install it.
---
## Claude.ai-specific instructions
In Claude.ai, the core workflow is the same (draft → test → review → improve → repeat), but because Claude.ai doesn't have subagents, some mechanics change. Here's what to adapt:
**Running test cases**: No subagents means no parallel execution. For each test case, read the skill's SKILL.md, then follow its instructions to accomplish the test prompt yourself. Do them one at a time. This is less rigorous than independent subagents (you wrote the skill and you're also running it, so you have full context), but it's a useful sanity check — and the human review step compensates. Skip the baseline runs — just use the skill to complete the task as requested.
**Reviewing results**: If you can't open a browser (e.g., Claude.ai's VM has no display, or you're on a remote server), skip the browser reviewer entirely. Instead, present results directly in the conversation. For each test case, show the prompt and the output. If the output is a file the user needs to see (like a .docx or .xlsx), save it to the filesystem and tell them where it is so they can download and inspect it. Ask for feedback inline: "How does this look? Anything you'd change?"
**Benchmarking**: Skip the quantitative benchmarking — it relies on baseline comparisons which aren't meaningful without subagents. Focus on qualitative feedback from the user.
**The iteration loop**: Same as before — improve the skill, rerun the test cases, ask for feedback — just without the browser reviewer in the middle. You can still organize results into iteration directories on the filesystem if you have one.
**Description optimization**: This section requires the `claude` CLI tool (specifically `claude -p`) which is only available in Claude Code. Skip it if you're on Claude.ai.
**Blind comparison**: Requires subagents. Skip it.
**Packaging**: The `package_skill.py` script works anywhere with Python and a filesystem. On Claude.ai, you can run it and the user can download the resulting `.skill` file.
---
## Cowork-Specific Instructions
If you're in Cowork, the main things to know are:
- You have subagents, so the main workflow (spawn test cases in parallel, run baselines, grade, etc.) all works. (However, if you run into severe problems with timeouts, it's OK to run the test prompts in series rather than parallel.)
- You don't have a browser or display, so when generating the eval viewer, use `--static ` to write a standalone HTML file instead of starting a server. Then proffer a link that the user can click to open the HTML in their browser.
- For whatever reason, the Cowork setup seems to disincline Claude from generating the eval viewer after running the tests, so just to reiterate: whether you're in Cowork or in Claude Code, after running tests, you should always generate the eval viewer for the human to look at examples before revising the skill yourself and trying to make corrections, using `generate_review.py` (not writing your own boutique html code). Sorry in advance but I'm gonna go all caps here: GENERATE THE EVAL VIEWER *BEFORE* evaluating inputs yourself. You want to get them in front of the human ASAP!
- Feedback works differently: since there's no running server, the viewer's "Submit All Reviews" button will download `feedback.json` as a file. You can then read it from there (you may have to request access first).
- Packaging works — `package_skill.py` just needs Python and a filesystem.
- Description optimization (`run_loop.py` / `run_eval.py`) should work in Cowork just fine since it uses `claude -p` via subprocess, not a browser, but please save it until you've fully finished making the skill and the user agrees it's in good shape.

## Reference files
The agents/ directory contains instructions for specialized subagents. Read them when you need to spawn the relevant subagent.
- `agents/grader.md` — How to evaluate assertions against outputs
- `agents/comparator.md` — How to do blind A/B comparison between two outputs
- `agents/analyzer.md` — How to analyze why one version beat another
The references/ directory has additional documentation:
- `references/design_principles.md` — Core design principles (Progressive Disclosure, Composability, Portability) and three common use case patterns (Document Creation, Workflow Automation, MCP Enhancement)
- `references/constraints_and_rules.md` — Technical constraints, naming conventions, security requirements, and quantitative success criteria
- `references/quick_checklist.md` — Comprehensive pre-publication checklist covering file structure, frontmatter, testing, and quality tiers
- `references/schemas.md` — JSON structures for evals.json, grading.json, etc.
---
Repeating one more time the core loop here for emphasis:
- Figure out what the skill is about
- Draft or edit the skill
- Run claude-with-access-to-the-skill on test prompts
- With the user, evaluate the outputs:
- Create benchmark.json and run `eval-viewer/generate_review.py` to help the user review them
- Run quantitative evals
- Repeat until you and the user are satisfied
- Package the final skill and return it to the user.
Please add steps to your TodoList, if you have such a thing, to make sure you don't forget. If you're in Cowork, please specifically put "Create evals JSON and run `eval-viewer/generate_review.py` so human can review test cases" in your TodoList to make sure it happens.
Good luck!

# Post-hoc Analyzer Agent
Analyze blind comparison results to understand WHY the winner won and generate improvement suggestions.
## Role
After the blind comparator determines a winner, the Post-hoc Analyzer "unblids" the results by examining the skills and transcripts. The goal is to extract actionable insights: what made the winner better, and how can the loser be improved?
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **winner**: "A" or "B" (from blind comparison)
- **winner_skill_path**: Path to the skill that produced the winning output
- **winner_transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript for the winner
- **loser_skill_path**: Path to the skill that produced the losing output
- **loser_transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript for the loser
- **comparison_result_path**: Path to the blind comparator's output JSON
- **output_path**: Where to save the analysis results
## Process
### Step 1: Read Comparison Result
1. Read the blind comparator's output at comparison_result_path
2. Note the winning side (A or B), the reasoning, and any scores
3. Understand what the comparator valued in the winning output
### Step 2: Read Both Skills
1. Read the winner skill's SKILL.md and key referenced files
2. Read the loser skill's SKILL.md and key referenced files
3. Identify structural differences:
- Instructions clarity and specificity
- Script/tool usage patterns
- Example coverage
- Edge case handling
### Step 3: Read Both Transcripts
1. Read the winner's transcript
2. Read the loser's transcript
3. Compare execution patterns:
- How closely did each follow their skill's instructions?
- What tools were used differently?
- Where did the loser diverge from optimal behavior?
- Did either encounter errors or make recovery attempts?
### Step 4: Analyze Instruction Following
For each transcript, evaluate:
- Did the agent follow the skill's explicit instructions?
- Did the agent use the skill's provided tools/scripts?
- Were there missed opportunities to leverage skill content?
- Did the agent add unnecessary steps not in the skill?
Score instruction following 1-10 and note specific issues.
### Step 5: Identify Winner Strengths
Determine what made the winner better:
- Clearer instructions that led to better behavior?
- Better scripts/tools that produced better output?
- More comprehensive examples that guided edge cases?
- Better error handling guidance?
Be specific. Quote from skills/transcripts where relevant.
### Step 6: Identify Loser Weaknesses
Determine what held the loser back:
- Ambiguous instructions that led to suboptimal choices?
- Missing tools/scripts that forced workarounds?
- Gaps in edge case coverage?
- Poor error handling that caused failures?
### Step 7: Generate Improvement Suggestions
Based on the analysis, produce actionable suggestions for improving the loser skill:
- Specific instruction changes to make
- Tools/scripts to add or modify
- Examples to include
- Edge cases to address
Prioritize by impact. Focus on changes that would have changed the outcome.
### Step 8: Write Analysis Results
Save structured analysis to `{output_path}`.
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"comparison_summary": {
"winner": "A",
"winner_skill": "path/to/winner/skill",
"loser_skill": "path/to/loser/skill",
"comparator_reasoning": "Brief summary of why comparator chose winner"
},
"winner_strengths": [
"Clear step-by-step instructions for handling multi-page documents",
"Included validation script that caught formatting errors",
"Explicit guidance on fallback behavior when OCR fails"
],
"loser_weaknesses": [
"Vague instruction 'process the document appropriately' led to inconsistent behavior",
"No script for validation, agent had to improvise and made errors",
"No guidance on OCR failure, agent gave up instead of trying alternatives"
],
"instruction_following": {
"winner": {
"score": 9,
"issues": [
"Minor: skipped optional logging step"
]
},
"loser": {
"score": 6,
"issues": [
"Did not use the skill's formatting template",
"Invented own approach instead of following step 3",
"Missed the 'always validate output' instruction"
]
}
},
"improvement_suggestions": [
{
"priority": "high",
"category": "instructions",
"suggestion": "Replace 'process the document appropriately' with explicit steps: 1) Extract text, 2) Identify sections, 3) Format per template",
"expected_impact": "Would eliminate ambiguity that caused inconsistent behavior"
},
{
"priority": "high",
"category": "tools",
"suggestion": "Add validate_output.py script similar to winner skill's validation approach",
"expected_impact": "Would catch formatting errors before final output"
},
{
"priority": "medium",
"category": "error_handling",
"suggestion": "Add fallback instructions: 'If OCR fails, try: 1) different resolution, 2) image preprocessing, 3) manual extraction'",
"expected_impact": "Would prevent early failure on difficult documents"
}
],
"transcript_insights": {
"winner_execution_pattern": "Read skill -> Followed 5-step process -> Used validation script -> Fixed 2 issues -> Produced output",
"loser_execution_pattern": "Read skill -> Unclear on approach -> Tried 3 different methods -> No validation -> Output had errors"
}
}
```
## Guidelines
- **Be specific**: Quote from skills and transcripts, don't just say "instructions were unclear"
- **Be actionable**: Suggestions should be concrete changes, not vague advice
- **Focus on skill improvements**: The goal is to improve the losing skill, not critique the agent
- **Prioritize by impact**: Which changes would most likely have changed the outcome?
- **Consider causation**: Did the skill weakness actually cause the worse output, or is it incidental?
- **Stay objective**: Analyze what happened, don't editorialize
- **Think about generalization**: Would this improvement help on other evals too?
## Categories for Suggestions
Use these categories to organize improvement suggestions:
| Category | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `instructions` | Changes to the skill's prose instructions |
| `tools` | Scripts, templates, or utilities to add/modify |
| `examples` | Example inputs/outputs to include |
| `error_handling` | Guidance for handling failures |
| `structure` | Reorganization of skill content |
| `references` | External docs or resources to add |
## Priority Levels
- **high**: Would likely change the outcome of this comparison
- **medium**: Would improve quality but may not change win/loss
- **low**: Nice to have, marginal improvement

# Analyzing Benchmark Results
When analyzing benchmark results, the analyzer's purpose is to **surface patterns and anomalies** across multiple runs, not suggest skill improvements.
## Role
Review all benchmark run results and generate freeform notes that help the user understand skill performance. Focus on patterns that wouldn't be visible from aggregate metrics alone.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **benchmark_data_path**: Path to the in-progress benchmark.json with all run results
- **skill_path**: Path to the skill being benchmarked
- **output_path**: Where to save the notes (as JSON array of strings)
## Process
### Step 1: Read Benchmark Data
1. Read the benchmark.json containing all run results
2. Note the configurations tested (with_skill, without_skill)
3. Understand the run_summary aggregates already calculated
### Step 2: Analyze Per-Assertion Patterns
For each expectation across all runs:
- Does it **always pass** in both configurations? (may not differentiate skill value)
- Does it **always fail** in both configurations? (may be broken or beyond capability)
- Does it **always pass with skill but fail without**? (skill clearly adds value here)
- Does it **always fail with skill but pass without**? (skill may be hurting)
- Is it **highly variable**? (flaky expectation or non-deterministic behavior)
### Step 3: Analyze Cross-Eval Patterns
Look for patterns across evals:
- Are certain eval types consistently harder/easier?
- Do some evals show high variance while others are stable?
- Are there surprising results that contradict expectations?
### Step 4: Analyze Metrics Patterns
Look at time_seconds, tokens, tool_calls:
- Does the skill significantly increase execution time?
- Is there high variance in resource usage?
- Are there outlier runs that skew the aggregates?
### Step 5: Generate Notes
Write freeform observations as a list of strings. Each note should:
- State a specific observation
- Be grounded in the data (not speculation)
- Help the user understand something the aggregate metrics don't show
Examples:
- "Assertion 'Output is a PDF file' passes 100% in both configurations - may not differentiate skill value"
- "Eval 3 shows high variance (50% ± 40%) - run 2 had an unusual failure that may be flaky"
- "Without-skill runs consistently fail on table extraction expectations (0% pass rate)"
- "Skill adds 13s average execution time but improves pass rate by 50%"
- "Token usage is 80% higher with skill, primarily due to script output parsing"
- "All 3 without-skill runs for eval 1 produced empty output"
### Step 6: Write Notes
Save notes to `{output_path}` as a JSON array of strings:
```json
[
"Assertion 'Output is a PDF file' passes 100% in both configurations - may not differentiate skill value",
"Eval 3 shows high variance (50% ± 40%) - run 2 had an unusual failure",
"Without-skill runs consistently fail on table extraction expectations",
"Skill adds 13s average execution time but improves pass rate by 50%"
]
```
## Guidelines
**DO:**
- Report what you observe in the data
- Be specific about which evals, expectations, or runs you're referring to
- Note patterns that aggregate metrics would hide
- Provide context that helps interpret the numbers
**DO NOT:**
- Suggest improvements to the skill (that's for the improvement step, not benchmarking)
- Make subjective quality judgments ("the output was good/bad")
- Speculate about causes without evidence
- Repeat information already in the run_summary aggregates

================================================
# Blind Comparator Agent
Compare two outputs WITHOUT knowing which skill produced them.
## Role
The Blind Comparator judges which output better accomplishes the eval task. You receive two outputs labeled A and B, but you do NOT know which skill produced which. This prevents bias toward a particular skill or approach.
Your judgment is based purely on output quality and task completion.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **output_a_path**: Path to the first output file or directory
- **output_b_path**: Path to the second output file or directory
- **eval_prompt**: The original task/prompt that was executed
- **expectations**: List of expectations to check (optional - may be empty)
## Process
### Step 1: Read Both Outputs
1. Examine output A (file or directory)
2. Examine output B (file or directory)
3. Note the type, structure, and content of each
4. If outputs are directories, examine all relevant files inside
### Step 2: Understand the Task
1. Read the eval_prompt carefully
2. Identify what the task requires:
- What should be produced?
- What qualities matter (accuracy, completeness, format)?
- What would distinguish a good output from a poor one?
### Step 3: Generate Evaluation Rubric
Based on the task, generate a rubric with two dimensions:
**Content Rubric** (what the output contains):
| Criterion | 1 (Poor) | 3 (Acceptable) | 5 (Excellent) |
|-----------|----------|----------------|---------------|
| Correctness | Major errors | Minor errors | Fully correct |
| Completeness | Missing key elements | Mostly complete | All elements present |
| Accuracy | Significant inaccuracies | Minor inaccuracies | Accurate throughout |
**Structure Rubric** (how the output is organized):
| Criterion | 1 (Poor) | 3 (Acceptable) | 5 (Excellent) |
|-----------|----------|----------------|---------------|
| Organization | Disorganized | Reasonably organized | Clear, logical structure |
| Formatting | Inconsistent/broken | Mostly consistent | Professional, polished |
| Usability | Difficult to use | Usable with effort | Easy to use |
Adapt criteria to the specific task. For example:
- PDF form → "Field alignment", "Text readability", "Data placement"
- Document → "Section structure", "Heading hierarchy", "Paragraph flow"
- Data output → "Schema correctness", "Data types", "Completeness"
### Step 4: Evaluate Each Output Against the Rubric
For each output (A and B):
1. **Score each criterion** on the rubric (1-5 scale)
2. **Calculate dimension totals**: Content score, Structure score
3. **Calculate overall score**: Average of dimension scores, scaled to 1-10
### Step 5: Check Assertions (if provided)
If expectations are provided:
1. Check each expectation against output A
2. Check each expectation against output B
3. Count pass rates for each output
4. Use expectation scores as secondary evidence (not the primary decision factor)
### Step 6: Determine the Winner
Compare A and B based on (in priority order):
1. **Primary**: Overall rubric score (content + structure)
2. **Secondary**: Assertion pass rates (if applicable)
3. **Tiebreaker**: If truly equal, declare a TIE
Be decisive - ties should be rare. One output is usually better, even if marginally.
### Step 7: Write Comparison Results
Save results to a JSON file at the path specified (or `comparison.json` if not specified).
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"winner": "A",
"reasoning": "Output A provides a complete solution with proper formatting and all required fields. Output B is missing the date field and has formatting inconsistencies.",
"rubric": {
"A": {
"content": {
"correctness": 5,
"completeness": 5,
"accuracy": 4
},
"structure": {
"organization": 4,
"formatting": 5,
"usability": 4
},
"content_score": 4.7,
"structure_score": 4.3,
"overall_score": 9.0
},
"B": {
"content": {
"correctness": 3,
"completeness": 2,
"accuracy": 3
},
"structure": {
"organization": 3,
"formatting": 2,
"usability": 3
},
"content_score": 2.7,
"structure_score": 2.7,
"overall_score": 5.4
}
},
"output_quality": {
"A": {
"score": 9,
"strengths": ["Complete solution", "Well-formatted", "All fields present"],
"weaknesses": ["Minor style inconsistency in header"]
},
"B": {
"score": 5,
"strengths": ["Readable output", "Correct basic structure"],
"weaknesses": ["Missing date field", "Formatting inconsistencies", "Partial data extraction"]
}
},
"expectation_results": {
"A": {
"passed": 4,
"total": 5,
"pass_rate": 0.80,
"details": [
{"text": "Output includes name", "passed": true},
{"text": "Output includes date", "passed": true},
{"text": "Format is PDF", "passed": true},
{"text": "Contains signature", "passed": false},
{"text": "Readable text", "passed": true}
]
},
"B": {
"passed": 3,
"total": 5,
"pass_rate": 0.60,
"details": [
{"text": "Output includes name", "passed": true},
{"text": "Output includes date", "passed": false},
{"text": "Format is PDF", "passed": true},
{"text": "Contains signature", "passed": false},
{"text": "Readable text", "passed": true}
]
}
}
}
```
If no expectations were provided, omit the `expectation_results` field entirely.
## Field Descriptions
- **winner**: "A", "B", or "TIE"
- **reasoning**: Clear explanation of why the winner was chosen (or why it's a tie)
- **rubric**: Structured rubric evaluation for each output
- **content**: Scores for content criteria (correctness, completeness, accuracy)
- **structure**: Scores for structure criteria (organization, formatting, usability)
- **content_score**: Average of content criteria (1-5)
- **structure_score**: Average of structure criteria (1-5)
- **overall_score**: Combined score scaled to 1-10
- **output_quality**: Summary quality assessment
- **score**: 1-10 rating (should match rubric overall_score)
- **strengths**: List of positive aspects
- **weaknesses**: List of issues or shortcomings
- **expectation_results**: (Only if expectations provided)
- **passed**: Number of expectations that passed
- **total**: Total number of expectations
- **pass_rate**: Fraction passed (0.0 to 1.0)
- **details**: Individual expectation results
## Guidelines
- **Stay blind**: DO NOT try to infer which skill produced which output. Judge purely on output quality.
- **Be specific**: Cite specific examples when explaining strengths and weaknesses.
- **Be decisive**: Choose a winner unless outputs are genuinely equivalent.
- **Output quality first**: Assertion scores are secondary to overall task completion.
- **Be objective**: Don't favor outputs based on style preferences; focus on correctness and completeness.
- **Explain your reasoning**: The reasoning field should make it clear why you chose the winner.
- **Handle edge cases**: If both outputs fail, pick the one that fails less badly. If both are excellent, pick the one that's marginally better.

# Grader Agent
Evaluate expectations against an execution transcript and outputs.
## Role
The Grader reviews a transcript and output files, then determines whether each expectation passes or fails. Provide clear evidence for each judgment.
You have two jobs: grade the outputs, and critique the evals themselves. A passing grade on a weak assertion is worse than useless — it creates false confidence. When you notice an assertion that's trivially satisfied, or an important outcome that no assertion checks, say so.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **expectations**: List of expectations to evaluate (strings)
- **transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript (markdown file)
- **outputs_dir**: Directory containing output files from execution
## Process
### Step 1: Read the Transcript
1. Read the transcript file completely
2. Note the eval prompt, execution steps, and final result
3. Identify any issues or errors documented
### Step 2: Examine Output Files
1. List files in outputs_dir
2. Read/examine each file relevant to the expectations. If outputs aren't plain text, use the inspection tools provided in your prompt — don't rely solely on what the transcript says the executor produced.
3. Note contents, structure, and quality
### Step 3: Evaluate Each Assertion
For each expectation:
1. **Search for evidence** in the transcript and outputs
2. **Determine verdict**:
- **PASS**: Clear evidence the expectation is true AND the evidence reflects genuine task completion, not just surface-level compliance
- **FAIL**: No evidence, or evidence contradicts the expectation, or the evidence is superficial (e.g., correct filename but empty/wrong content)
3. **Cite the evidence**: Quote the specific text or describe what you found
### Step 4: Extract and Verify Claims
Beyond the predefined expectations, extract implicit claims from the outputs and verify them:
1. **Extract claims** from the transcript and outputs:
- Factual statements ("The form has 12 fields")
- Process claims ("Used pypdf to fill the form")
- Quality claims ("All fields were filled correctly")
2. **Verify each claim**:
- **Factual claims**: Can be checked against the outputs or external sources
- **Process claims**: Can be verified from the transcript
- **Quality claims**: Evaluate whether the claim is justified
3. **Flag unverifiable claims**: Note claims that cannot be verified with available information
This catches issues that predefined expectations might miss.
### Step 5: Read User Notes
If `{outputs_dir}/user_notes.md` exists:
1. Read it and note any uncertainties or issues flagged by the executor
2. Include relevant concerns in the grading output
3. These may reveal problems even when expectations pass
### Step 6: Critique the Evals
After grading, consider whether the evals themselves could be improved. Only surface suggestions when there's a clear gap.
Good suggestions test meaningful outcomes — assertions that are hard to satisfy without actually doing the work correctly. Think about what makes an assertion *discriminating*: it passes when the skill genuinely succeeds and fails when it doesn't.
Suggestions worth raising:
- An assertion that passed but would also pass for a clearly wrong output (e.g., checking filename existence but not file content)
- An important outcome you observed — good or bad — that no assertion covers at all
- An assertion that can't actually be verified from the available outputs
Keep the bar high. The goal is to flag things the eval author would say "good catch" about, not to nitpick every assertion.
### Step 7: Write Grading Results
Save results to `{outputs_dir}/../grading.json` (sibling to outputs_dir).
## Grading Criteria
**PASS when**:
- The transcript or outputs clearly demonstrate the expectation is true
- Specific evidence can be cited
- The evidence reflects genuine substance, not just surface compliance (e.g., a file exists AND contains correct content, not just the right filename)
**FAIL when**:
- No evidence found for the expectation
- Evidence contradicts the expectation
- The expectation cannot be verified from available information
- The evidence is superficial — the assertion is technically satisfied but the underlying task outcome is wrong or incomplete
- The output appears to meet the assertion by coincidence rather than by actually doing the work
**When uncertain**: The burden of proof to pass is on the expectation.
### Step 8: Read Executor Metrics and Timing
1. If `{outputs_dir}/metrics.json` exists, read it and include in grading output
2. If `{outputs_dir}/../timing.json` exists, read it and include timing data
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"expectations": [
{
"text": "The output includes the name 'John Smith'",
"passed": true,
"evidence": "Found in transcript Step 3: 'Extracted names: John Smith, Sarah Johnson'"
},
{
"text": "The spreadsheet has a SUM formula in cell B10",
"passed": false,
"evidence": "No spreadsheet was created. The output was a text file."
},
{

"passed": true,
"evidence": "Transcript Step 2 shows: 'Tool: Bash - python ocr_script.py image.png'"
}

"passed": 2,
"failed": 1,
"total": 3,
"pass_rate": 0.67

},

"total_duration_seconds": 191.0
},
"claims": [
{
"claim": "The form has 12 fillable fields",
"type": "factual",
"verified": true,
"evidence": "Counted 12 fields in field_info.json"
},
{
"claim": "All required fields were populated",
"type": "quality",
"verified": false,
"evidence": "Reference section was left blank despite data being available"
}
],
"user_notes_summary": {
"uncertainties": ["Used 2023 data, may be stale"],
"needs_review": [],
"workarounds": ["Fell back to text overlay for non-fillable fields"]
},
"eval_feedback": {
"suggestions": [
{
"assertion": "The output includes the name 'John Smith'",
"reason": "A hallucinated document that mentions the name would also pass — consider checking it appears as the primary contact with matching phone and email from the input"
},
{
"reason": "No assertion checks whether the extracted phone numbers match the input — I observed incorrect numbers in the output that went uncaught"
}
],
"overall": "Assertions check presence but not correctness. Consider adding content verification."
}
}
```

## Technical Constraints
### YAML Frontmatter Restrictions
**Character Limits:**
- `description` field: **Maximum 1024 characters**
- `name` field: No hard limit, but keep concise (typically <50 characters)
**Forbidden Characters:**
- **XML angle brackets (`< >`) are prohibited** in frontmatter
- This includes the description, name, and any other frontmatter fields
- Reason: Parsing conflicts with XML-based systems
**Example - INCORRECT:**
```yaml
---
name: html-generator
description: Creates
and elements for web pages
---
```
**Example - CORRECT:**
```yaml
---
name: html-generator
description: Creates div and span elements for web pages
---
```
### Naming Restrictions
**Prohibited Terms:**
- Cannot use "claude" in skill names (case-insensitive)
- Cannot use "anthropic" in skill names (case-insensitive)
- Reason: Trademark protection and avoiding confusion with official tools
**Examples - INCORRECT:**
- `claude-helper`
- `anthropic-tools`
- `my-claude-skill`
**Examples - CORRECT:**
- `code-helper`
- `ai-tools`
- `my-coding-skill`
---
## Naming Conventions
### File and Folder Names
**SKILL.md File:**
- **Must be named exactly `SKILL.md`** (case-sensitive)
- Not `skill.md`, `Skill.md`, or any other variation
- This is the entry point Claude looks for
**Folder Names:**
- Use **kebab-case** (lowercase with hyphens)
- Avoid spaces, underscores, and uppercase letters
- Keep names descriptive but concise
**Examples:**
✅ **CORRECT:**
```
notion-project-setup/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
└── references/
```
❌ **INCORRECT:**
```
Notion_Project_Setup/ # Uses uppercase and underscores
notion project setup/ # Contains spaces
notionProjectSetup/ # Uses camelCase
```
### Script and Reference Files
**Scripts:**
- Use snake_case: `generate_report.py`, `process_data.sh`
- Make scripts executable: `chmod +x scripts/my_script.py`
- Include shebang line: `#!/usr/bin/env python3`
**Reference Files:**
- Use snake_case: `api_documentation.md`, `style_guide.md`
- Use descriptive names that indicate content
- Group related files in subdirectories when needed
**Assets:**
- Use kebab-case for consistency: `default-template.docx`
- Include file extensions
- Organize by type if you have many assets
---
## Description Field Structure
The description field is the **primary triggering mechanism** for skills. Follow this formula:
### Formula
```
[What it does] + [When to use it] + [Specific trigger phrases]
```
### Components
1. **What it does** (1-2 sentences)
- Clear, concise explanation of the skill's purpose
- Focus on outcomes, not implementation details
2. **When to use it** (1-2 sentences)
- Contexts where this skill should trigger
- User scenarios and situations
3. **Specific trigger phrases** (1 sentence)
- Actual phrases users might say
- Include variations and synonyms
- Be explicit: "Use when user asks to [specific phrases]"
### Triggering Behavior
**Important**: Claude currently has a tendency to "undertrigger" skills (not use them when they'd be useful). To combat this:
- Make descriptions slightly "pushy"
- Include multiple trigger scenarios
- Be explicit about when to use the skill
- Mention related concepts that should also trigger it
**Example - Too Passive:**
```yaml
description: How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data.
```
**Example - Better:**
```yaml
description: How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions dashboards, data visualization, internal metrics, or wants to display any kind of company data, even if they don't explicitly ask for a 'dashboard.'
```
### Real-World Examples
**Good Description (frontend-design):**
```yaml
description: Creates consistent UI components following the design system. Use when user wants to build interface elements, needs design tokens, or asks about component styling. Triggers on phrases like "create a button", "design a form", "what's our color palette", or "build a card component".
```
**Good Description (skill-creator):**
```yaml
description: Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
```
---
## Security and Safety Requirements
### Principle of Lack of Surprise
Skills must not contain:
- Malware or exploit code
- Content that could compromise system security
- Misleading functionality that differs from the description
- Unauthorized access mechanisms
- Data exfiltration code
**Acceptable:**
- Educational security content (with clear context)
- Roleplay scenarios ("roleplay as XYZ")
- Authorized penetration testing tools (with clear documentation)
**Unacceptable:**
- Hidden backdoors
- Obfuscated malicious code
- Skills that claim to do X but actually do Y
- Credential harvesting
- Unauthorized data collection
### Code Execution Safety
When skills include scripts:
- Document what each script does
- Avoid destructive operations without confirmation
- Validate inputs before processing
- Handle errors gracefully
- Don't execute arbitrary user-provided code without sandboxing
### Data Privacy
- Don't log sensitive information
- Don't transmit data to external services without disclosure
- Respect user privacy in examples and documentation
- Use placeholder data in examples, not real user data
---
## Quantitative Success Criteria
When evaluating skill effectiveness, aim for:
### Triggering Accuracy
- **Target: 90%+ trigger rate** on relevant queries
- Skill should activate when appropriate
- Should NOT activate on irrelevant queries
### Efficiency
- **Complete workflows in X tool calls** (define X for your skill)
- Minimize unnecessary steps
- Avoid redundant operations
### Reliability
- **Target: 0 API call failures** due to skill design
- Handle errors gracefully
- Provide fallback strategies
### Performance Metrics
Track these during testing:
- **Trigger rate**: % of relevant queries that activate the skill
- **False positive rate**: % of irrelevant queries that incorrectly trigger
- **Completion rate**: % of tasks successfully completed
- **Average tool calls**: Mean number of tool invocations per task
- **Token usage**: Context consumption (aim to minimize)
- **Time to completion**: Duration from start to finish
---
## Domain Organization Pattern
When a skill supports multiple domains, frameworks, or platforms:
### Structure
```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md # Workflow + selection logic
└── references/
├── variant-a.md # Specific to variant A
├── variant-b.md # Specific to variant B
└── variant-c.md # Specific to variant C
```
### SKILL.md Responsibilities
1. Explain the overall workflow
2. Help Claude determine which variant applies
3. Direct Claude to read the appropriate reference file
4. Provide common patterns across all variants
### Reference File Responsibilities
- Variant-specific instructions
- Platform-specific APIs or tools
- Domain-specific best practices
- Examples relevant to that variant
### Example: Cloud Deployment Skill
```
cloud-deploy/
├── SKILL.md # "Determine cloud provider, then read appropriate guide"
└── references/
├── aws.md # AWS-specific deployment steps
├── gcp.md # Google Cloud-specific steps
└── azure.md # Azure-specific steps
```
**SKILL.md excerpt:**
```markdown
## Workflow
1. Identify the target cloud provider from user's request or project context
2. Read the appropriate reference file:
- AWS: `references/aws.md`
- Google Cloud: `references/gcp.md`
- Azure: `references/azure.md`
3. Follow the provider-specific deployment steps
```
This pattern ensures Claude only loads the relevant context, keeping token usage efficient.
---
## Compatibility Field (Optional)
Use the `compatibility` frontmatter field to declare dependencies:
```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: Does something useful
compatibility:
required_tools:
- python3
- git
required_mcps:
- github
platforms:
- claude-code
- claude-api
---
```
This is **optional** and rarely needed, but useful when:
- Skill requires specific tools to be installed
- Skill depends on particular MCP servers
- Skill only works on certain platforms
---

================================================
# Content Design Patterns
Skills share the same file format, but the logic inside varies enormously. These 5 patterns are recurring content structures found across the skill ecosystem — from engineering tools to content creation, research, and personal productivity.
The format problem is solved. The challenge now is content design.
## Choosing a Pattern
```
主要目的是注入知识/规范?
→ Tool Wrapper
主要目的是生成一致性输出?
→ Generator
主要目的是评审/打分?
→ Reviewer
需要先收集用户信息再执行?
→ Inversion(或在其他模式前加 Inversion 阶段)
需要严格顺序、不允许跳步?
→ Pipeline
以上都有?
→ 组合使用(见文末)
```
---
## Pattern 1: Tool Wrapper
**一句话**:把专业知识打包成按需加载的上下文,让 Claude 在需要时成为某个领域的专家。
### 何时用
- 你有一套规范、约定、或最佳实践,希望 Claude 在特定场景下遵守
- 知识量大,不适合全部放在 SKILL.md 里
- 不同任务只需要加载相关的知识子集
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 触发条件(什么时候加载哪个 reference)
├── 核心规则(少量,最重要的)
└── references/
├── conventions.md ← 完整规范
├── gotchas.md ← 常见错误
└── examples.md ← 示例
```
关键:SKILL.md 告诉 Claude "什么时候读哪个文件",而不是把所有内容塞进来。
### 示例
写作风格指南 skill:
```markdown
You are a writing style expert. Apply these conventions to the user's content.
## When Reviewing Content
1. Load 'references/style-guide.md' for complete writing conventions
2. Check against each rule
3. For each issue, cite the specific rule and suggest the fix
## When Writing New Content
1. Load 'references/style-guide.md'
2. Follow every convention exactly
3. Match the tone and voice defined in the guide
```
真实案例:`baoyu-article-illustrator` 的各个 style 文件(`references/styles/blueprint.md` 等)就是 Tool Wrapper 模式——只在需要某个风格时才加载对应文件。
---
## Pattern 2: Generator
**一句话**:用模板 + 风格指南确保每次输出结构一致,Claude 负责填充内容。
### 何时用
- 需要生成格式固定的文档、图片、代码
- 同类输出每次结构应该相同
- 有明确的模板可以复用
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 步骤:加载模板 → 收集变量 → 填充 → 输出
└── assets/
└── template.md ← 输出模板
references/
└── style-guide.md ← 风格规范
```
关键:模板放在 `assets/`,风格指南放在 `references/`,SKILL.md 只做协调。
### 示例
封面图生成 skill:
```markdown
Step 1: Load 'references/style-guide.md' for visual conventions.
Step 2: Load 'assets/prompt-template.md' for the image prompt structure.
Step 3: Ask the user for missing information:
- Article title and topic
- Preferred style (or auto-recommend based on content)
Step 4: Fill the template with article-specific content.
Step 5: Generate the image using the completed prompt.
```
真实案例:`obsidian-cover-image` 是典型的 Generator——分析文章内容,推荐风格,填充 prompt 模板,生成封面图。
---
## Pattern 3: Reviewer
**一句话**:把"检查什么"和"怎么检查"分离,用可替换的 checklist 驱动评审流程。
### 何时用
- 需要对内容/代码/设计进行系统性评审
- 评审标准可能随场景变化(换个 checklist 就换了评审维度)
- 需要结构化的输出(按严重程度分组、打分等)
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 评审流程(固定)
└── references/
└── review-checklist.md ← 评审标准(可替换)
```
关键:流程是固定的,标准是可替换的。换一个 checklist 文件就得到完全不同的评审 skill。
### 示例
文章质量审查 skill:
```markdown
Step 1: Load 'references/review-checklist.md' for evaluation criteria.
Step 2: Read the article carefully. Understand its purpose before critiquing.
Step 3: Apply each criterion. For every issue found:
- Note the location (section/paragraph)
- Classify severity: critical / suggestion / minor
- Explain WHY it's a problem
- Suggest a specific fix
Step 4: Produce structured review:
- Summary: overall quality assessment
- Issues: grouped by severity
- Score: 1-10 with justification
- Top 3 recommendations

## Pattern 4: Inversion
**一句话**:翻转默认行为——不是用户驱动、Claude 执行,而是 Claude 先采访用户,收集完信息再动手。
### 何时用
- 任务需要大量上下文才能做好
- 用户往往说不清楚自己想要什么
- 做错了代价高(比如生成了大量内容后才发现方向不对)
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── Phase 1: 采访(逐个问题,等待回答)
│ └── 明确的门控条件:所有问题回答完才能继续
├── Phase 2: 确认(展示理解,让用户确认)
└── Phase 3: 执行(基于收集的信息)
```
关键:必须有明确的 gate condition——"DO NOT proceed until all questions are answered"。没有门控的 Inversion 会被 Claude 跳过。
### 示例
需求收集 skill:
```markdown
You are conducting a structured requirements interview.
DO NOT start building until all phases are complete.
## Phase 1 — Discovery (ask ONE question at a time, wait for each answer)
- Q1: "What problem does this solve for users?"
- Q2: "Who are the primary users?"
- Q3: "What does success look like?"
## Phase 2 — Confirm (only after Phase 1 is fully answered)
Summarize your understanding and ask: "Does this capture what you need?"
DO NOT proceed until user confirms.
## Phase 3 — Execute (only after confirmation)
[actual work here]
```
真实案例:`baoyu-article-illustrator` 的 Step 3(Confirm Settings)是 Inversion 模式——用 AskUserQuestion 收集 type、density、style 后才开始生成。
---
## Pattern 5: Pipeline
**一句话**:把复杂任务拆成有序步骤,每步有明确的完成条件,不允许跳步。
### 何时用
- 任务有严格的依赖顺序(步骤 B 依赖步骤 A 的输出)
- 某些步骤需要用户确认才能继续
- 跳步会导致严重错误
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── Step 1: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
├── Step 2: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
├── Step 3: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
└── ...
```
关键:每个步骤都有明确的 gate condition。"DO NOT proceed to Step N until [condition]" 是 Pipeline 的核心语法。
### 示例
文章发布流程 skill(`obsidian-to-x` 的简化版):
```markdown
## Step 1 — Detect Content Type
Read the active file. Check frontmatter for title field.
- Has title → X Article workflow
- No title → Regular post workflow
DO NOT proceed until content type is determined.
## Step 2 — Convert Format
Run the appropriate conversion script.
DO NOT proceed if conversion fails.
## Step 3 — Preview
Show the converted content to the user.
Ask: "Does this look correct?"
DO NOT proceed until user confirms.
## Step 4 — Publish
Execute the publishing script.
```
真实案例:`obsidian-to-x` 和 `baoyu-article-illustrator` 都是 Pipeline——严格的步骤顺序,每步有明确的完成条件。
---
## 模式组合
模式不是互斥的,可以自由组合:
| 组合 | 适用场景 |
|------|---------|
| **Inversion + Generator** | 先采访收集变量,再填充模板生成输出 |
| **Inversion + Pipeline** | 先收集需求,再严格执行多步流程 |
| **Pipeline + Reviewer** | 流程末尾加一个自我审查步骤 |
| **Tool Wrapper + Pipeline** | 在流程的特定步骤按需加载专业知识 |
`baoyu-article-illustrator` 是 **Inversion + Pipeline**:Step 3 用 Inversion 收集设置,Step 4-6 用 Pipeline 严格执行生成流程。
`skill-creator-pro` 本身也是 **Inversion + Pipeline**:Phase 1 先采访用户,Phase 2-6 严格按顺序执行。

# Skill Design Principles
This document outlines the core design principles for creating effective Claude Skills. Skills apply to any domain — engineering, content creation, research, personal productivity, and beyond.
## Five Core Design Principles
### 1. Progressive Disclosure
Skills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:
**Level 1: Metadata (Always in Context)**
- Name + description (~100 words)
- Always loaded, visible to Claude
- Primary triggering mechanism
**Level 2: SKILL.md Body (Loaded When Triggered)**
- Main instructions and workflow
- Ideal: <500 lines
- Loaded when skill is invoked
**Level 3: Bundled Resources (Loaded As Needed)**
- Scripts execute without loading into context
- Reference files loaded only when explicitly needed
- Unlimited size potential
**Key Implementation Patterns:**
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines; if approaching this limit, add hierarchy with clear navigation pointers
- Reference files clearly from SKILL.md with guidance on when to read them
- For large reference files (>300 lines), include a table of contents
- Scripts in `scripts/` directory don't consume context when executed
### 2. Composability
Skills should work harmoniously with other skills and tools:
- **Avoid conflicts**: Don't override or duplicate functionality from other skills
- **Clear boundaries**: Define what your skill does and doesn't do
- **Interoperability**: Design workflows that can incorporate other skills when needed
- **Modular design**: Break complex capabilities into focused, reusable components
**Example**: A `frontend-design` skill might reference a `color-palette` skill rather than reimplementing color theory.
### 3. Portability
Skills should work consistently across different Claude platforms:
- **Claude.ai**: Web interface with Projects
- **Claude Code**: CLI tool with full filesystem access
- **API integrations**: Programmatic access
**Design for portability:**
- Avoid platform-specific assumptions
- Use conditional instructions when platform differences matter
- Test across environments if possible
- Document any platform-specific limitations in frontmatter
---
### 4. Don't Over-constrain
Skills work best when they give Claude knowledge and intent, not rigid scripts. Claude is smart — explain the *why* behind requirements and let it adapt to the specific situation.
- Prefer explaining reasoning over stacking MUST/NEVER
- Avoid overly specific instructions unless the format is a hard requirement
- If you find yourself writing many ALWAYS/NEVER, stop and ask: can I explain the reason instead?
- Give Claude the information it needs, but leave room for it to handle edge cases intelligently
**Example**: Instead of "ALWAYS output exactly 3 bullet points", write "Use bullet points to keep the output scannable — 3 is usually right, but adjust based on content complexity."
### 5. Accumulate from Usage
Good skills aren't written once — they grow. Every time Claude hits an edge case or makes a recurring mistake, update the skill. The Gotchas section is the highest-information-density part of any skill.
- Every skill should have a `## Gotchas` or `## Common Pitfalls` section
- Append to it whenever Claude makes a repeatable mistake
- Treat the skill as a living document, not a one-time deliverable
- The best gotchas come from real usage, not speculation
---
## Cross-Cutting Concerns
Regardless of domain or pattern, all skills should:
- **Be specific and actionable**: Vague instructions lead to inconsistent results
- **Include error handling**: Anticipate what can go wrong
- **Provide examples**: Show, don't just tell
- **Explain the why**: Help Claude understand reasoning, not just rules
- **Stay focused**: One skill, one clear purpose
- **Enable iteration**: Support refinement and improvement

# Implementation Patterns
可复用的实现模式,适用于任何领域的 skill。
---
## Pattern A: config.json 初始设置
### 何时用
Skill 需要用户提供个性化配置(账号、路径、偏好、API key 等),且这些配置在多次使用中保持不变。
### 标准流程
```
首次运行
↓
检查 config.json 是否存在
↓ 不存在
用 AskUserQuestion 收集配置
↓
写入 config.json
↓
继续执行主流程
```
### 检查逻辑
```bash
# 检查顺序(优先级从高到低)
1. {project-dir}/.{skill-name}/config.json # 项目级
2. ~/.{skill-name}/config.json # 用户级
```
### 示例 config.json 结构
```json
{
"version": 1,
"output_dir": "illustrations",
"preferred_style": "notion",
"watermark": {
"enabled": false,
"content": ""
},
"language": null
}
```
### 最佳实践
- 字段用 `snake_case`
- 必须有 `version` 字段,方便未来迁移
- 可选字段设合理默认值,不要强制用户填所有项
- 敏感信息(API key)不要存在 config.json,用环境变量
- 配置变更时提示用户当前值,让他们选择保留或修改
### 与 EXTEND.md 的区别
| | config.json | EXTEND.md |
|--|-------------|-----------|
| 格式 | 纯 JSON | YAML frontmatter + Markdown |
| 适合 | 结构化配置,脚本读取 | 需要注释说明的复杂配置 |
| 可读性 | 机器友好 | 人类友好 |
| 推荐场景 | 大多数情况 | 配置项需要大量说明时 |
---
## Pattern B: Gotchas 章节
### 何时用
所有 skill 都应该有。这是 skill 中信息密度最高的部分——记录 Claude 在真实使用中反复犯的错误。
### 结构模板
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **[问题简述]**: [具体描述] → [正确做法]
- **[问题简述]**: [具体描述] → [正确做法]
```
### 示例
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **不要字面翻译隐喻**: 文章说"用电锯切西瓜"时,不要画电锯和西瓜,
要可视化背后的概念(高效/暴力/不匹配)
- **prompt 文件必须先保存**: 不要直接把 prompt 文本传给生成命令,
必须先写入文件再引用文件路径
- **路径锁定**: 获取当前文件路径后立即保存到变量,
不要在后续步骤重新获取(workspace.json 会随 Obsidian 操作变化)
```
### 维护原则
- 遇到 Claude 反复犯的错误,立即追加
- 每条 gotcha 要有"为什么"和"怎么做",不只是"不要做 X"
- 定期回顾,删除已经不再出现的问题
- 把 gotchas 当作 skill 的"活文档",不是一次性写完的
---
## Pattern C: 脚本复用
### 何时用
在 eval transcript 里发现 Claude 在多次运行中反复写了相同的辅助代码。
### 识别信号
运行 3 个测试用例后,检查 transcript:
- 3 个测试都写了类似的 `parse_outline.py`?
- 每次都重新实现相同的文件命名逻辑?
- 反复构造相同格式的 API 请求?
这些都是"应该提取到 `scripts/` 的信号"。
### 提取步骤
1. 从 transcript 中找出重复的代码模式
2. 提取成通用脚本,放入 `scripts/`
3. 在 SKILL.md 中明确告知 Claude 使用它:
```markdown
Use `scripts/build-batch.ts` to generate the batch file.
DO NOT rewrite this logic inline.
```
4. 重新运行测试,验证 Claude 确实使用了脚本而不是重写
### 好处
- 每次调用不再重复造轮子,节省 token
- 脚本经过测试,比 Claude 即兴生成的代码更可靠
- 逻辑集中在一处,维护更容易
---
## Pattern D: 数据存储与记忆
### 何时用
Skill 需要跨会话记忆(如记录历史操作、积累用户偏好、追踪状态)。
### 三种方案对比
| 方案 | 适用场景 | 复杂度 |
|------|---------|--------|
| Append-only log | 简单历史记录,只追加 | 低 |
| JSON 文件 | 结构化状态,需要读写 | 低 |
| SQLite | 复杂查询,大量数据 | 高 |
### 存储位置
```bash
# ✅ 推荐:稳定目录,插件升级不会删除
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/{skill-name}/
# ❌ 避免:skill 目录,插件升级时会被覆盖
.claude/skills/{skill-name}/data/
```
### 示例:append-only log
```bash
# 追加记录
echo "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ) | published | ${ARTICLE_PATH}" \
>> "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/obsidian-to-x/history.log"
# 读取最近 10 条
tail -10 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/obsidian-to-x/history.log"
```
### 示例:JSON 状态文件
```json
{
"last_run": "2026-03-20T10:00:00Z",
"total_published": 42,
"preferred_style": "notion"
}
```
---
## Pattern E: 按需钩子
### 何时用
需要在 skill 激活期间拦截特定操作,但不希望这个拦截一直生效(会影响其他工作)。
### 概念
Skill 被调用时注册钩子,整个会话期间生效。用户主动调用才激活,不会干扰日常工作。
### 典型场景
```markdown
# /careful skill
激活后,拦截所有包含以下内容的 Bash 命令:
- rm -rf
- DROP TABLE
- force-push / --force
- kubectl delete
拦截时提示用户确认,而不是直接执行。
适合:知道自己在操作生产环境时临时开启。
```
```markdown
# /freeze skill
激活后,阻止对指定目录之外的任何 Edit/Write 操作。
适合:调试时"我只想加日志,不想不小心改了其他文件"。
```
### 实现方式
在 SKILL.md 中声明 PreToolUse 钩子:
```yaml
hooks:
- type: PreToolUse
matcher: "Bash"
action: intercept_dangerous_commands
```
详见 Claude Code hooks 文档。

---
## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
❌ **Don't:**
- Use vague instructions like "make it good"
- Overuse MUST/NEVER in all caps
- Create overly rigid structures that don't generalize
- Include unnecessary files or bloat
- Hardcode values that should be parameters
- Assume specific directory structures
- Forget to test on realistic queries
- Make description too passive (undertriggering)
✅ **Do:**
- Explain reasoning behind requirements
- Use examples to clarify expectations
- Keep instructions focused and actionable
- Test with real user queries
- Handle errors gracefully
- Make description explicit about when to trigger
- Optimize for the 1000th use, not just the test cases
---
## Skill Quality Tiers
### Tier 1: Functional
- Meets all technical requirements
- Works for basic use cases
- No security issues
### Tier 2: Good
- Clear, well-documented instructions
- Handles edge cases
- Efficient context usage
- Good triggering accuracy
### Tier 3: Excellent
- Explains reasoning, not just rules
- Generalizes beyond test cases
- Optimized for repeated use
- Delightful user experience
- Comprehensive error handling
**Aim for Tier 3.** The difference between a functional skill and an excellent skill is often just thoughtful refinement.
---
## Post-Publication
After publishing:
- [ ] Monitor usage and gather feedback
- [ ] Track common failure modes
- [ ] Iterate based on real-world use
- [ ] Update description if triggering issues arise
- [ ] Refine instructions based on user confusion
- [ ] Add examples for newly discovered use cases
---
## Quick Reference: File Naming
| Item | Convention | Example |
|------|-----------|---------|
| Skill folder | kebab-case | `my-skill-name/` |
| Main file | Exact case | `SKILL.md` |
| Scripts | snake_case | `generate_report.py` |
| References | snake_case | `api_docs.md` |
| Assets | kebab-case | `default-template.docx` |
---
## Quick Reference: Description Formula
```
[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]
```
**Example:**
```yaml
description: Creates consistent UI components following the design system. Use when user wants to build interface elements, needs design tokens, or asks about component styling. Triggers on phrases like "create a button", "design a form", "what's our color palette", or "build a card component".
```
---
## Need Help?
- Review `design_principles.md` for conceptual guidance
- Check `constraints_and_rules.md` for technical requirements
- Read `schemas.md` for eval and benchmark structures
- Use the skill-creator skill itself for guided creation
---
**Remember**: A skill is successful when it works reliably for the 1000th user, not just your test cases. Generalize, explain reasoning, and keep it simple.

**How to capture:** When a subagent task completes, the task notification includes `total_tokens` and `duration_ms`. Save these immediately — they are not persisted anywhere else and cannot be recovered after the fact.

**Fields:**
- `metadata`: Information about the benchmark run
- `skill_name`: Name of the skill
- `timestamp`: When the benchmark was run
- `evals_run`: List of eval names or IDs
- `runs_per_configuration`: Number of runs per config (e.g. 3)
- `runs[]`: Individual run results
- `eval_id`: Numeric eval identifier
- `eval_name`: Human-readable eval name (used as section header in the viewer)
- `configuration`: Must be `"with_skill"` or `"without_skill"` (the viewer uses this exact string for grouping and color coding)
- `run_number`: Integer run number (1, 2, 3...)
- `result`: Nested object with `pass_rate`, `passed`, `total`, `time_seconds`, `tokens`, `errors`
- `run_summary`: Statistical aggregates per configuration
- `with_skill` / `without_skill`: Each contains `pass_rate`, `time_seconds`, `tokens` objects with `mean` and `stddev` fields
- `delta`: Difference strings like `"+0.50"`, `"+13.0"`, `"+1700"`
- `notes`: Freeform observations from the analyzer
**Important:** The viewer reads these field names exactly. Using `config` instead of `configuration`, or putting `pass_rate` at the top level of a run instead of nested under `result`, will cause the viewer to show empty/zero values. Always reference this schema when generating benchmark.json manually.

"""
Aggregate individual run results into benchmark summary statistics.
Reads grading.json files from run directories and produces:
- run_summary with mean, stddev, min, max for each metric
- delta between with_skill and without_skill configurations
Usage:
python aggregate_benchmark.py
Example:
python aggregate_benchmark.py benchmarks/2026-01-15T10-30-00/
The script supports two directory layouts:
Workspace layout (from skill-creator iterations):
/
└── eval-N/
├── with_skill/
│ ├── run-1/grading.json
│ └── run-2/grading.json
└── without_skill/
├── run-1/grading.json
└── run-2/grading.json
Legacy layout (with runs/ subdirectory):
/
└── runs/
└── eval-N/
├── with_skill/

└── without_skill/
└── run-1/grading.json

Skill content (for context on what the skill does):
{skill_content}
Based on the failures, write a new and improved description that is more likely to trigger correctly. When I say "based on the failures", it's a bit of a tricky line to walk because we don't want to overfit to the specific cases you're seeing. So what I DON'T want you to do is produce an ever-expanding list of specific queries that this skill should or shouldn't trigger for. Instead, try to generalize from the failures to broader categories of user intent and situations where this skill would be useful or not useful. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Avoid overfitting
2. The list might get loooong and it's injected into ALL queries and there might be a lot of skills, so we don't want to blow too much space on any given description.
Concretely, your description should not be more than about 100-200 words, even if that comes at the cost of accuracy.
Here are some tips that we've found to work well in writing these descriptions:
- The skill should be phrased in the imperative -- "Use this skill for" rather than "this skill does"
- The skill description should focus on the user's intent, what they are trying to achieve, vs. the implementation details of how the skill works.
- The description competes with other skills for Claude's attention — make it distinctive and immediately recognizable.
- If you're getting lots of failures after repeated attempts, change things up. Try different sentence structures or wordings.
I'd encourage you to be creative and mix up the style in different iterations since you'll have multiple opportunities to try different approaches and we'll just grab the highest-scoring one at the end.

# Agent Skills Toolkit
A comprehensive toolkit for creating, improving, and testing high-quality Agent Skills for Claude Code.
## Overview
Agent Skills Toolkit is an enhanced plugin based on Anthropic's official skill-creator, featuring:
- 🎯 **skill-creator-pro**: Enhanced version of the official skill creator with additional features
- ⚡ **Quick Commands**: 4 focused commands for specific workflows
- 📚 **Comprehensive Tools**: Scripts, references, and evaluation frameworks
- 🌏 **Optimized Documentation**: Clear guidance for skill development
## Installation
### From Marketplace
Add the marketplace to Claude Code:
```bash
/plugin marketplace add likai/awesome-agentskills
```
Then install the plugin through the `/plugin` UI or:
```bash
/plugin install agent-skills-toolkit
```
### From Local Directory
```bash
/plugin install /path/to/awesome-agentskills/plugins/agent-skills-toolkit
```
## Quick Start
### Using Commands (Recommended for Quick Tasks)
**Create a new skill:**
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:create-skill my-skill-name
```
**Improve an existing skill:**
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:improve-skill path/to/skill
```
**Test a skill:**
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:test-skill my-skill
```
**Optimize skill description:**
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:optimize-description my-skill
```
**Check plugin integration:**
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration path/to/skill
```
### Using the Full Skill (Recommended for Complex Workflows)
For complete skill creation with all features:
```bash
/agent-skills-toolkit:skill-creator-pro
```
This loads the full context including:

# Check Plugin Integration
Verify that a skill properly integrates with its plugin's commands and agents, following the three-layer architecture pattern.
## Usage
```
/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
```
## Examples
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration` - Check current directory
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill`
- `/agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill`
## What this command does
1. Detects if the skill is part of a plugin
2. Finds related commands and agents
3. Verifies three-layer architecture (Command → Agent → Skill)
4. Generates integration report with scoring
5. Provides actionable recommendations
## When to use
- After creating a new skill in a plugin
- After modifying an existing plugin skill
- When reviewing plugin architecture
- Before publishing a plugin
- When troubleshooting integration issues
---
## Implementation
This command acts as a **thin wrapper** that delegates to the `plugin-integration-checker` skill.
### Step 1: Determine Skill Path
```bash
# If skill-path argument is provided, use it
SKILL_PATH="${1}"
# If no argument, check if current directory is a skill
if [ -z "$SKILL_PATH" ]; then
if [ -f "skill.md" ]; then
SKILL_PATH=$(pwd)
echo "📍 Using current directory: $SKILL_PATH"
else
echo "❌ No skill path provided and current directory is not a skill."
echo "Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]"
exit 1
fi
fi
# Verify skill exists
if [ ! -f "$SKILL_PATH/skill.md" ] && [ ! -f "$SKILL_PATH" ]; then
echo "❌ Skill not found at: $SKILL_PATH"
echo "Please provide a valid path to a skill directory or skill.md file"
exit 1
fi
# If path points to skill.md, get the directory
if [ -f "$SKILL_PATH" ] && [[ "$SKILL_PATH" == *"skill.md" ]]; then
SKILL_PATH=$(dirname "$SKILL_PATH")
fi
echo "✅ Found skill at: $SKILL_PATH"
```
### Step 2: Invoke plugin-integration-checker Skill
The actual integration check is performed by the `plugin-integration-checker` skill. This command simply provides a convenient entry point.
```
Use the plugin-integration-checker skill to analyze the skill at: {SKILL_PATH}
The skill will:
1. Detect plugin context (look for .claude-plugin/plugin.json)
2. Scan for related commands and agents
3. Verify three-layer architecture compliance
4. Generate integration report with scoring
5. Provide specific recommendations
Display the full report to the user.
```
### Step 3: Display Results
The skill will generate a comprehensive report. Make sure to display:
- **Plugin Information**: Name, version, skill location
- **Integration Status**: Related commands and agents
- **Architecture Analysis**: Scoring for each layer
- **Overall Score**: 0.0-1.0 with interpretation
- **Recommendations**: Specific improvements with examples
### Step 4: Offer Next Steps
After displaying the report, offer to:
```
Based on the integration report, would you like me to:
1. Fix integration issues (create/update commands or agents)
2. Generate ARCHITECTURE.md documentation
3. Update README.md with architecture section
4. Review specific components in detail
5. Nothing, the integration looks good
```
Use AskUserQuestion to present these options.

# ℹ️ This skill is standalone (not part of a plugin)
# No integration check needed.
```
## Key Design Principles
### 1. Command as Thin Wrapper
This command doesn't implement the checking logic itself. It:
- Validates input (skill path)
- Delegates to the skill (plugin-integration-checker)
- Displays results
- Offers next steps
**Why:** Keeps command simple and focused on orchestration.
### 2. Skill Does the Work
The `plugin-integration-checker` skill contains all the logic:
- Plugin detection
- Component scanning
- Architecture verification
- Report generation
**Why:** Reusable logic, can be called from other contexts.
### 3. User-Friendly Interface
The command provides:
- Clear error messages
- Progress indicators
- Formatted output
- Actionable next steps
**Why:** Great user experience.
## Error Handling
### Skill Not Found
```
❌ Skill not found at: /invalid/path
Please provide a valid path to a skill directory or skill.md file
Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
```
### Not a Skill Directory
```
❌ No skill path provided and current directory is not a skill.
Usage: /agent-skills-toolkit:check-integration [skill-path]
Tip: Navigate to a skill directory or provide the path as an argument.
```
### Permission Issues
```
❌ Cannot read skill at: /path/to/skill
Permission denied. Please check file permissions.
```
## Integration with Other Commands
This command complements other agent-skills-toolkit commands:
- **After `/create-skill`**: Automatically check integration
- **After `/improve-skill`**: Verify improvements didn't break integration
- **Before publishing**: Final integration check
## Summary
This command provides a **convenient entry point** for checking plugin integration:
1. ✅ Simple to use (just provide skill path)
2. ✅ Delegates to specialized skill
3. ✅ Provides comprehensive report
4. ✅ Offers actionable next steps
5. ✅ Follows command-as-orchestrator pattern
**Remember:** The command orchestrates, the skill executes, following our three-layer architecture!

# Plugin Integration Checker
After creating or modifying a skill, this skill checks whether it's part of a Claude Code plugin and verifies proper integration with commands and agents following the three-layer architecture pattern.
## When to Use
Use this skill automatically after:
- Creating a new skill that's part of a plugin
- Modifying an existing skill in a plugin
- User asks to check plugin integration
- Skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`
## Three-Layer Architecture
A well-designed plugin follows this pattern:
```
Command (Orchestration) → Agent (Execution) → Skill (Knowledge)
```
### Layer Responsibilities
| Layer | Responsibility | Contains |
|-------|---------------|----------|
| **Command** | Workflow orchestration | Prerequisites checks, user interaction, agent delegation |
| **Agent** | Autonomous execution | Task planning, API calls, iteration, error handling |
| **Skill** | Knowledge documentation | API reference, best practices, examples, troubleshooting |
## Integration Check Process
### Step 1: Detect Plugin Context
```bash
# Check if skill is in a plugin directory
SKILL_PATH="$1" # Path to the skill directory
# Look for plugin.json in parent directories
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$SKILL_PATH")
PLUGIN_ROOT=""
while [ "$CURRENT_DIR" != "/" ]; do
if [ -f "$CURRENT_DIR/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" ]; then
PLUGIN_ROOT="$CURRENT_DIR"
break
fi
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$CURRENT_DIR")
done
if [ -z "$PLUGIN_ROOT" ]; then
echo "✅ This skill is standalone (not part of a plugin)"
exit 0
fi
echo "🔍 Found plugin at: $PLUGIN_ROOT"
```
### Step 2: Read Plugin Metadata
```bash
# Extract plugin info
PLUGIN_NAME=$(jq -r '.name' "$PLUGIN_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json")
PLUGIN_VERSION=$(jq -r '.version' "$PLUGIN_ROOT/.claude-plugin/plugin.json")
echo "Plugin: $PLUGIN_NAME v$PLUGIN_VERSION"
```
### Step 3: Check for Related Commands
Look for commands that might use this skill:
```bash
# List all commands in the plugin
COMMANDS_DIR="$PLUGIN_ROOT/commands"
if [ -d "$COMMANDS_DIR" ]; then
echo "📋 Checking commands..."
# Get skill name from directory
SKILL_NAME=$(basename "$SKILL_PATH")
# Search for references to this skill in commands
grep -r "$SKILL_NAME" "$COMMANDS_DIR" --include="*.md" -l
fi
```
### Step 4: Check for Related Agents
Look for agents that might reference this skill:
```bash
# List all agents in the plugin
AGENTS_DIR="$PLUGIN_ROOT/agents"
if [ -d "$AGENTS_DIR" ]; then
echo "🤖 Checking agents..."
# Search for references to this skill in agents
grep -r "$SKILL_NAME" "$AGENTS_DIR" --include="*.md" -l
fi
```
### Step 5: Analyze Integration Quality
For each command/agent that references this skill, check:
#### Command Integration Checklist
Read the command file and verify:
- [ ] **Prerequisites Check**: Does it check if required services/tools are running?
- [ ] **User Interaction**: Does it use AskUserQuestion for gathering requirements?
- [ ] **Agent Delegation**: Does it delegate complex work to an agent?
- [ ] **Skill Reference**: Does it mention the skill in the implementation section?
- [ ] **Result Verification**: Does it verify the final result (screenshot, output, etc.)?
**Good Example:**
```markdown
## Implementation
### Step 1: Check Prerequisites
curl -s http://localhost:7236/api/doc | jq .
### Step 2: Gather Requirements
Use AskUserQuestion to collect user preferences.
### Step 3: Delegate to Agent
Agent({
subagent_type: "plugin-name:agent-name",
prompt: "Task description with context"
})
### Step 4: Verify Results
Take screenshot and display to user.
```
**Bad Example:**
```markdown
## Implementation
Use the skill to do the task.
```
#### Agent Integration Checklist
Read the agent file and verify:
- [ ] **Clear Capabilities**: Does it define what it can do?
- [ ] **Skill Reference**: Does it explicitly reference the skill for API/implementation details?
- [ ] **Workflow Steps**: Does it outline the execution workflow?
- [ ] **Error Handling**: Does it mention how to handle errors?
- [ ] **Iteration**: Does it describe how to verify and refine results?
**Good Example:**
```markdown
## Your Workflow
1. Understand requirements
2. Check prerequisites
3. Plan approach (reference Skill for best practices)
4. Execute task (reference Skill for API details)
5. Verify results
6. Iterate if needed
Reference the {skill-name} skill for:
- API endpoints and usage
- Best practices
- Examples and patterns
```
**Bad Example:**
```markdown
## Your Workflow
Create the output based on user requirements.
```
#### Skill Quality Checklist
Verify the skill itself follows best practices:
- [ ] **Clear Description**: Triggers, use cases, and contexts (under 1024 chars)
- [ ] **API Documentation**: Complete endpoint reference with examples
- [ ] **Best Practices**: Guidelines for using the API/tool effectively
- [ ] **Examples**: Working code examples
- [ ] **Troubleshooting**: Common issues and solutions
- [ ] **No Workflow Logic**: Skill documents "how", not "when" or "what"
### Step 6: Generate Integration Report
Create a report showing:
1. **Plugin Context**
- Plugin name and version
- Skill location within plugin
2. **Integration Status**
- Commands that reference this skill
- Agents that reference this skill
- Standalone usage (if no references found)
3. **Architecture Compliance**
- ✅ Follows three-layer pattern
- ⚠️ Partial integration (missing command or agent)
- ❌ Poor integration (monolithic command, no separation)
4. **Recommendations**
- Specific improvements needed
- Examples of correct patterns
- Links to architecture documentation
## Report Format
```markdown
# Plugin Integration Report
## Plugin Information
- **Name**: {plugin-name}
- **Version**: {version}
- **Skill**: {skill-name}
## Integration Status
### Commands
{list of commands that reference this skill}
### Agents
{list of agents that reference this skill}
## Architecture Analysis
### Command Layer
- ✅ Prerequisites check
- ✅ User interaction
- ✅ Agent delegation
- ⚠️ Missing result verification
### Agent Layer
- ✅ Clear capabilities
- ✅ Skill reference
- ❌ No error handling mentioned
### Skill Layer
- ✅ API documentation
- ✅ Examples
- ✅ Best practices
## Recommendations
1. **Command Improvements**
- Add result verification step
- Example: Take screenshot after agent completes
2. **Agent Improvements**
- Add error handling section
- Example: "If API call fails, retry with exponential backoff"
3. **Overall Architecture**
- ✅ Follows three-layer pattern
- Consider adding more examples to skill
## Reference Documentation
See PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md for detailed guidance on:
- Three-layer architecture pattern
- Command orchestration best practices
- Agent execution patterns
- Skill documentation standards
```
## Implementation Details
### Detecting Integration Patterns
**Good Command Pattern:**
```bash
# Look for these patterns in command files
grep -E "(Agent\(|subagent_type|AskUserQuestion)" command.md
```
**Good Agent Pattern:**
```bash
# Look for skill references in agent files
grep -E "(reference.*skill|see.*skill|skill.*for)" agent.md -i
```
**Good Skill Pattern:**
```bash
# Check skill has API docs and examples
grep -E "(## API|### Endpoint|```bash|## Example)" skill.md
```
### Integration Scoring
Calculate an integration score:
```
Score = (Command Quality × 0.4) + (Agent Quality × 0.3) + (Skill Quality × 0.3)
Where each quality score is:
- 1.0 = Excellent (all checklist items passed)
- 0.7 = Good (most items passed)
- 0.4 = Fair (some items passed)
- 0.0 = Poor (few or no items passed)
```
**Interpretation:**
- 0.8-1.0: ✅ Excellent integration
- 0.6-0.8: ⚠️ Good but needs improvement
- 0.4-0.6: ⚠️ Fair, significant improvements needed
- 0.0-0.4: ❌ Poor integration, major refactoring needed
## Common Anti-Patterns to Detect
### ❌ Monolithic Command
```markdown
## Implementation
curl -X POST http://api/endpoint ...
# Command tries to do everything
```
**Fix:** Delegate to agent
### ❌ Agent Without Skill Reference
```markdown
## Your Workflow
1. Do the task
2. Return results
```
**Fix:** Add explicit skill references
### ❌ Skill With Workflow Logic
```markdown
## When to Use
First check if the service is running, then gather user requirements...
```
**Fix:** Move workflow to command, keep only "how to use API" in skill
## After Generating Report
1. **Display the report** to the user
2. **Offer to fix issues** if any are found
3. **Create/update ARCHITECTURE.md** in plugin root if it doesn't exist
4. **Update README.md** to include architecture section if missing
## Example Usage
```bash
# After creating a skill
/check-integration ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin/skills/my-skill
# Output:
# 🔍 Found plugin at: ~/.claude/plugins/my-plugin
# Plugin: my-plugin v1.0.0
#
# 📋 Checking commands...
# Found: commands/do-task.md
#
# 🤖 Checking agents...
# Found: agents/task-executor.md
#
# ✅ Integration Analysis Complete
# Score: 0.85 (Excellent)
#
# See full report: my-plugin-integration-report.md
```
## Key Principles
1. **Automatic Detection**: Run automatically when skill path indicates plugin context
2. **Comprehensive Analysis**: Check all three layers (command, agent, skill)
3. **Actionable Feedback**: Provide specific recommendations with examples
4. **Architecture Enforcement**: Ensure plugins follow the three-layer pattern
5. **Documentation**: Generate reports and update plugin documentation
## Reference Files
For detailed architecture guidance, refer to:
- `PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md` - Three-layer architecture pattern
- `tldraw-helper/ARCHITECTURE.md` - Reference implementation
- `tldraw-helper/commands/draw.md` - Example command with proper integration
---
**Remember:** The goal is to ensure skills, commands, and agents work together seamlessly, with clear separation of concerns and proper delegation patterns.

## ⚠️ 需要改进的地方
### 1. Description 字段结构 (中等优先级)
**当前 description**:
```
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance.
Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill,
run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize
a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
```
**分析**:
- ✅ 说明了功能("Create new skills...")
- ✅ 说明了使用场景("Use when users want to...")
- ⚠️ **缺少具体的触发短语**
**建议改进**:
按照公式 `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`,添加用户可能说的具体短语:
```yaml
description: Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy. Triggers on phrases like "make a skill", "create a new skill", "improve this skill", "test my skill", "optimize skill description", or "turn this into a skill".
```
**新长度**: 约 480 字符(仍在 1024 限制内)
### 2. SKILL.md 行数 (低优先级)
**当前**: 502 行
**理想**: <500 行
**建议**:
- 当前超出仅 2 行,在可接受范围内
- 如果未来继续增长,可以考虑将某些章节移到 `references/` 中
- 候选章节:
- "Communicating with the user" (可移至 `references/communication_guide.md`)
- "Claude.ai-specific instructions" (可移至 `references/platform_adaptations.md`)
### 3. 参考文档目录 (低优先级)
**当前状态**:
- `constraints_and_rules.md`: 332 行 (>300 行)
- `schemas.md`: 430 行 (>300 行)
**建议**:
根据 `constraints_and_rules.md` 自己的规则:"大型参考文件(>300 行)应包含目录"
应为这两个文件添加目录(Table of Contents)。
### 4. 使用场景分类 (低优先级)
**观察**:
skill-creator 本身属于 **Category 2: Workflow Automation**(工作流程自动化)
**建议**:
可以在 SKILL.md 开头添加一个简短的元信息说明:
```markdown
**Skill Category**: Workflow Automation
**Use Case Pattern**: Multi-step skill creation, testing, and iteration workflow
```
这有助于用户理解这个技能的设计模式。

name: skill-creator-pro
description: Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Enhanced version with quick commands. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy. Triggers on phrases like "make a skill", "create a new skill", "build a skill for", "improve this skill", "optimize my skill", "test my skill", "turn this into a skill", "skill description optimization", or "help me create a skill".

# Skill Creator Pro
Creates, improves, and tests Agent Skills for any domain — engineering, content creation, research, personal productivity, and beyond.
## Workflow Overview
```
Phase 1: Understand → Phase 2: Design → Phase 3: Write
Phase 4: Test → Phase 5: Improve → Phase 6: Optimize
```
Jump in at the right phase based on where the user is:
- "I want to make a skill for X" → Start at Phase 1
- "Here's my skill draft, help me improve it" → Start at Phase 4
- "My skill isn't triggering correctly" → Start at Phase 6
- "Just vibe with me" → Skip phases as needed, stay flexible
Cool? Cool.
## Communicating with the user
The skill creator is liable to be used by people across a wide range of familiarity with coding jargon. If you haven't heard (and how could you, it's only very recently that it started), there's a trend now where the power of Claude is inspiring plumbers to open up their terminals, parents and grandparents to google "how to install npm". On the other hand, the bulk of users are probably fairly computer-literate.
So please pay attention to context cues to understand how to phrase your communication! In the default case, just to give you some idea:
- "evaluation" and "benchmark" are borderline, but OK
- for "JSON" and "assertion" you want to see serious cues from the user that they know what those things are before using them without explaining them
It's OK to briefly explain terms if you're in doubt, and feel free to clarify terms with a short definition if you're unsure if the user will get it.
---
## Phase 1: Understand
This phase uses the Inversion pattern — ask first, build later. If the current conversation already contains a workflow the user wants to capture (e.g., "turn this into a skill"), extract answers from the conversation history first before asking.
Ask these questions **one at a time**, wait for each answer. DO NOT proceed to Phase 2 until all required questions are answered.
**Q1 (Required)**: What should this skill enable Claude to do?
**Q2 (Required)**: When should it trigger? What would a user say to invoke it?
**Q3 (Required)**: Which content pattern fits best?
Read `references/content-patterns.md` and recommend 1-2 patterns with brief reasoning. Let the user confirm before continuing.
**Q4**: What's the expected output format?
**Q5**: Should we set up test cases? Skills with objectively verifiable outputs (file transforms, data extraction, fixed workflows) benefit from test cases. Skills with subjective outputs (writing style, art direction) often don't need them. Suggest the appropriate default, but let the user decide.
**Gate**: All required questions answered + content pattern confirmed → proceed to Phase 2.
### Interview and Research
After the 5 questions, proactively ask about edge cases, input/output formats, example files, success criteria, and dependencies. Wait to write test prompts until you've got this part ironed out.
Check available MCPs — if useful for research (searching docs, finding similar skills, looking up best practices), research in parallel via subagents if available, otherwise inline.
---
## Phase 2: Design
Before writing, read:
- `references/content-patterns.md` — apply the confirmed pattern's structure
- `references/design_principles.md` — 5 principles to follow
- `references/patterns.md` — implementation patterns (config.json, gotchas, script reuse, etc.)
Decide:
- File structure needed (`scripts/` / `references/` / `assets/`)
- Whether `config.json` setup is needed (user needs to provide personal config)
- Whether on-demand hooks are needed
**Gate**: Design decisions clear → proceed to Phase 3.
---
## Phase 3: Write
Based on the interview and design decisions, write the SKILL.md.
### Components
- **name**: Skill identifier (kebab-case, no "claude" or "anthropic" — see `references/constraints_and_rules.md`)
- **description**: The primary triggering mechanism. Include what the skill does AND when to use it. Follow the formula: `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`. Under 1024 characters, no XML angle brackets. Make it slightly "pushy" to combat undertriggering — see `references/constraints_and_rules.md` for guidance.
- **compatibility**: Required tools/dependencies (optional, rarely needed)
- **the rest of the skill :)**
### Skill Writing Guide
**Before writing**, read:
- `references/content-patterns.md` — apply the confirmed pattern's structure to the SKILL.md body
- `references/design_principles.md` — 5 design principles
- `references/constraints_and_rules.md` — technical constraints, naming conventions
- Keep `references/quick_checklist.md` handy for pre-publication verification
#### Anatomy of a Skill
```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md (required)
│ ├── YAML frontmatter (name, description required)
│ └── Markdown instructions
└── Bundled Resources (optional)
├── scripts/ - Executable code for deterministic/repetitive tasks
├── references/ - Docs loaded into context as needed
└── assets/ - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts)
```
#### Progressive Disclosure
Skills use a three-level loading system:
1. **Metadata** (name + description) - Always in context (~100 words)
2. **SKILL.md body** - In context whenever skill triggers (<500 lines ideal)
3. **Bundled resources** - As needed (unlimited, scripts can execute without loading)
These word counts are approximate and you can feel free to go longer if needed.
**Key patterns:**
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines; if you're approaching this limit, add an additional layer of hierarchy along with clear pointers about where the model using the skill should go next to follow up.
- Reference files clearly from SKILL.md with guidance on when to read them
- For large reference files (>300 lines), include a table of contents
**Domain organization**: When a skill supports multiple domains/frameworks, organize by variant:
```
cloud-deploy/
├── SKILL.md (workflow + selection)
└── references/
├── aws.md
├── gcp.md
└── azure.md
```
Claude reads only the relevant reference file.
#### Principle of Lack of Surprise
This goes without saying, but skills must not contain malware, exploit code, or any content that could compromise system security. A skill's contents should not surprise the user in their intent if described. Don't go along with requests to create misleading skills or skills designed to facilitate unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or other malicious activities. Things like a "roleplay as an XYZ" are OK though.
#### Writing Patterns
Prefer using the imperative form in instructions.
**Defining output formats** - You can do it like this:
```markdown
## Report structure
ALWAYS use this exact template:
# [Title]
## Executive summary
## Key findings
## Recommendations
```
**Examples pattern** - It's useful to include examples. You can format them like this (but if "Input" and "Output" are in the examples you might want to deviate a little):
```markdown
## Commit message format
**Example 1:**
Input: Added user authentication with JWT tokens
Output: feat(auth): implement JWT-based authentication
```
**Gotchas section** - Every skill should have one. Add it as you discover real failures:
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **[Problem]**: [What goes wrong] → [What to do instead]
```
**config.json setup** - If the skill needs user configuration, check for `config.json` at startup and use `AskUserQuestion` to collect missing values. See `references/patterns.md` for the standard flow.
### Writing Style
Try to explain to the model *why* things are important in lieu of heavy-handed musty MUSTs. Use theory of mind and try to make the skill general and not super-narrow to specific examples. Start by writing a draft and then look at it with fresh eyes and improve it.
If you find yourself stacking ALWAYS/NEVER, stop and ask: can I explain the reasoning instead? A skill that explains *why* is more robust than one that just issues commands.
**Gate**: Draft complete, checklist reviewed → proceed to Phase 4.
### Test Cases
After writing the skill draft, come up with 2-3 realistic test prompts — the kind of thing a real user would actually say. Share them with the user: [you don't have to use this exact language] "Here are a few test cases I'd like to try. Do these look right, or do you want to add more?" Then run them.
Save test cases to `evals/evals.json`. Don't write assertions yet — just the prompts. You'll draft assertions in the next step while the runs are in progress.
```json
{
"skill_name": "example-skill",
"evals": [
{
"id": 1,
"prompt": "User's task prompt",
"expected_output": "Description of expected result",
"files": []
}
]
}
```
See `references/schemas.md` for the full schema (including the `assertions` field, which you'll add later).
### Plugin Integration Check
**IMPORTANT**: After writing the skill draft, check if this skill is part of a Claude Code plugin. If the skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`, automatically perform a plugin integration check.
#### When to Check
Check plugin integration if:
- Skill path contains `.claude-plugins/` or `plugins/`
- User mentions "plugin", "command", or "agent" in context
- You notice related commands or agents in the same directory structure
#### What to Check
1. **Detect Plugin Context**
```bash
# Look for plugin.json in parent directories
SKILL_DIR="path/to/skill"
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$SKILL_DIR")
while [ "$CURRENT_DIR" != "/" ]; do
if [ -f "$CURRENT_DIR/.claude-plugin/plugin.json" ]; then
echo "Found plugin at: $CURRENT_DIR"
break
fi
CURRENT_DIR=$(dirname "$CURRENT_DIR")
done
```
2. **Check for Related Components**
- Look for `commands/` directory - are there commands that should use this skill?
- Look for `agents/` directory - are there agents that should reference this skill?
- Search for skill name in existing commands and agents
3. **Verify Three-Layer Architecture**
The plugin should follow this pattern:
```
Command (Orchestration) → Agent (Execution) → Skill (Knowledge)
```
**Command Layer** should:
- Check prerequisites (is service running?)
- Gather user requirements (use AskUserQuestion)
- Delegate complex work to agent
- Verify final results
**Agent Layer** should:
- Define clear capabilities
- Reference skill for API/implementation details
- Outline execution workflow
- Handle errors and iteration
**Skill Layer** should:
- Document API endpoints and usage
- Provide best practices
- Include examples
- Add troubleshooting guide
- NOT contain workflow logic (that's in commands)
4. **Generate Integration Report**
If this skill is part of a plugin, generate a brief report:
```markdown
## Plugin Integration Status
Plugin: {name} v{version}
Skill: {skill-name}
### Related Components
- Commands: {list or "none found"}
- Agents: {list or "none found"}
### Architecture Check
- [ ] Command orchestrates workflow
- [ ] Agent executes autonomously
- [ ] Skill documents knowledge
- [ ] Clear separation of concerns
### Recommendations
{specific suggestions if integration is incomplete}
```
5. **Offer to Fix Integration Issues**
If you find issues:
- Missing command that should orchestrate this skill
- Agent that doesn't reference the skill
- Command that tries to do everything (monolithic)
- Skill that contains workflow logic
Offer to create/fix these components following the three-layer pattern.
#### Example Integration Check
```bash
# After creating skill at: plugins/my-plugin/skills/api-helper/
# 1. Detect plugin
Found plugin: my-plugin v1.0.0
# 2. Check for related components
Commands found:
- commands/api-call.md (references api-helper ✅)
Agents found:
- agents/api-executor.md (references api-helper ✅)
# 3. Verify architecture
✅ Command delegates to agent
✅ Agent references skill
✅ Skill documents API only
✅ Clear separation of concerns
Integration Score: 0.9 (Excellent)
```
#### Reference Documentation
For detailed architecture guidance, see:
- `PLUGIN_ARCHITECTURE.md` in project root
- `tldraw-helper/ARCHITECTURE.md` for reference implementation
- `tldraw-helper/commands/draw.md` for example command
**After integration check**, proceed with test cases as normal.
## Phase 4: Test
### Running and evaluating test cases
This section is one continuous sequence — don't stop partway through. Do NOT use `/skill-test` or any other testing skill.
Put results in `-workspace/` as a sibling to the skill directory. Within the workspace, organize results by iteration (`iteration-1/`, `iteration-2/`, etc.) and within that, each test case gets a directory (`eval-0/`, `eval-1/`, etc.). Don't create all of this upfront — just create directories as you go.
### Step 1: Spawn all runs (with-skill AND baseline) in the same turn
For each test case, spawn two subagents in the same turn — one with the skill, one without. This is important: don't spawn the with-skill runs first and then come back for baselines later. Launch everything at once so it all finishes around the same time.
**With-skill run:**
```
Execute this task:
- Skill path:
- Task:
- Input files:
- Save outputs to: /iteration-/eval-/with_skill/outputs/
- Outputs to save:
```
**Baseline run** (same prompt, but the baseline depends on context):
- **Creating a new skill**: no skill at all. Same prompt, no skill path, save to `without_skill/outputs/`.
- **Improving an existing skill**: the old version. Before editing, snapshot the skill (`cp -r /skill-snapshot/`), then point the baseline subagent at the snapshot. Save to `old_skill/outputs/`.
Write an `eval_metadata.json` for each test case (assertions can be empty for now). Give each eval a descriptive name based on what it's testing — not just "eval-0". Use this name for the directory too. If this iteration uses new or modified eval prompts, create these files for each new eval directory — don't assume they carry over from previous iterations.
```json
{
"eval_id": 0,
"eval_name": "descriptive-name-here",
"prompt": "The user's task prompt",
"assertions": []
}
```
### Step 2: While runs are in progress, draft assertions
Don't just wait for the runs to finish — you can use this time productively. Draft quantitative assertions for each test case and explain them to the user. If assertions already exist in `evals/evals.json`, review them and explain what they check.
Good assertions are objectively verifiable and have descriptive names — they should read clearly in the benchmark viewer so someone glancing at the results immediately understands what each one checks. Subjective skills (writing style, design quality) are better evaluated qualitatively — don't force assertions onto things that need human judgment.
Update the `eval_metadata.json` files and `evals/evals.json` with the assertions once drafted. Also explain to the user what they'll see in the viewer — both the qualitative outputs and the quantitative benchmark.
### Step 3: As runs complete, capture timing data
When each subagent task completes, you receive a notification containing `total_tokens` and `duration_ms`. Save this data immediately to `timing.json` in the run directory:
```json
{
"total_tokens": 84852,
"duration_ms": 23332,
"total_duration_seconds": 23.3
}
```
This is the only opportunity to capture this data — it comes through the task notification and isn't persisted elsewhere. Process each notification as it arrives rather than trying to batch them.
### Step 4: Grade, aggregate, and launch the viewer
Once all runs are done:
1. **Grade each run** — spawn a grader subagent (or grade inline) that reads `agents/grader.md` and evaluates each assertion against the outputs. Save results to `grading.json` in each run directory. The grading.json expectations array must use the fields `text`, `passed`, and `evidence` (not `name`/`met`/`details` or other variants) — the viewer depends on these exact field names. For assertions that can be checked programmatically, write and run a script rather than eyeballing it — scripts are faster, more reliable, and can be reused across iterations.
2. **Aggregate into benchmark** — run the aggregation script from the skill-creator directory:
```bash
python -m scripts.aggregate_benchmark /iteration-N --skill-name
```
This produces `benchmark.json` and `benchmark.md` with pass_rate, time, and tokens for each configuration, with mean ± stddev and the delta. If generating benchmark.json manually, see `references/schemas.md` for the exact schema the viewer expects.
Put each with_skill version before its baseline counterpart.
3. **Do an analyst pass** — read the benchmark data and surface patterns the aggregate stats might hide. See `agents/analyzer.md` (the "Analyzing Benchmark Results" section) for what to look for — things like assertions that always pass regardless of skill (non-discriminating), high-variance evals (possibly flaky), and time/token tradeoffs.
4. **Launch the viewer** with both qualitative outputs and quantitative data:
```bash
nohup python /eval-viewer/generate_review.py \
/iteration-N \
--skill-name "my-skill" \
--benchmark /iteration-N/benchmark.json \
> /dev/null 2>&1 &
VIEWER_PID=$!
```
For iteration 2+, also pass `--previous-workspace /iteration-`.
**Cowork / headless environments:** If `webbrowser.open()` is not available or the environment has no display, use `--static ` to write a standalone HTML file instead of starting a server. Feedback will be downloaded as a `feedback.json` file when the user clicks "Submit All Reviews". After download, copy `feedback.json` into the workspace directory for the next iteration to pick up.
Note: please use generate_review.py to create the viewer; there's no need to write custom HTML.
5. **Tell the user** something like: "I've opened the results in your browser. There are two tabs — 'Outputs' lets you click through each test case and leave feedback, 'Benchmark' shows the quantitative comparison. When you're done, come back here and let me know."
### What the user sees in the viewer
The "Outputs" tab shows one test case at a time:
- **Prompt**: the task that was given
- **Output**: the files the skill produced, rendered inline where possible
- **Previous Output** (iteration 2+): collapsed section showing last iteration's output
- **Formal Grades** (if grading was run): collapsed section showing assertion pass/fail
- **Feedback**: a textbox that auto-saves as they type
- **Previous Feedback** (iteration 2+): their comments from last time, shown below the textbox
The "Benchmark" tab shows the stats summary: pass rates, timing, and token usage for each configuration, with per-eval breakdowns and analyst observations.
Navigation is via prev/next buttons or arrow keys. When done, they click "Submit All Reviews" which saves all feedback to `feedback.json`.
### Step 5: Read the feedback
When the user tells you they're done, read `feedback.json`:
```json
{
"reviews": [
{"run_id": "eval-0-with_skill", "feedback": "the chart is missing axis labels", "timestamp": "..."},
{"run_id": "eval-1-with_skill", "feedback": "", "timestamp": "..."},
{"run_id": "eval-2-with_skill", "feedback": "perfect, love this", "timestamp": "..."}
],
"status": "complete"
}
```
Empty feedback means the user thought it was fine. Focus your improvements on the test cases where the user had specific complaints.
Kill the viewer server when you're done with it:
```bash
kill $VIEWER_PID 2>/dev/null
```
---
## Phase 5: Improve
### Improving the skill
This is the heart of the loop. You've run the test cases, the user has reviewed the results, and now you need to make the skill better based on their feedback.
### How to think about improvements
1. **Generalize from the feedback.** The big picture thing that's happening here is that we're trying to create skills that can be used a million times (maybe literally, maybe even more who knows) across many different prompts. Here you and the user are iterating on only a few examples over and over again because it helps move faster. The user knows these examples in and out and it's quick for them to assess new outputs. But if the skill you and the user are codeveloping works only for those examples, it's useless. Rather than put in fiddly overfitty changes, or oppressively constrictive MUSTs, if there's some stubborn issue, you might try branching out and using different metaphors, or recommending different patterns of working. It's relatively cheap to try and maybe you'll land on something great.
2. **Keep the prompt lean.** Remove things that aren't pulling their weight. Make sure to read the transcripts, not just the final outputs — if it looks like the skill is making the model waste a bunch of time doing things that are unproductive, you can try getting rid of the parts of the skill that are making it do that and seeing what happens.
3. **Explain the why.** Try hard to explain the **why** behind everything you're asking the model to do. Today's LLMs are *smart*. They have good theory of mind and when given a good harness can go beyond rote instructions and really make things happen. Even if the feedback from the user is terse or frustrated, try to actually understand the task and why the user is writing what they wrote, and what they actually wrote, and then transmit this understanding into the instructions. If you find yourself writing ALWAYS or NEVER in all caps, or using super rigid structures, that's a yellow flag — if possible, reframe and explain the reasoning so that the model understands why the thing you're asking for is important. That's a more humane, powerful, and effective approach.
4. **Look for repeated work across test cases.** Read the transcripts from the test runs and notice if the subagents all independently wrote similar helper scripts or took the same multi-step approach to something. If all 3 test cases resulted in the subagent writing a `create_docx.py` or a `build_chart.py`, that's a strong signal the skill should bundle that script. Write it once, put it in `scripts/`, and tell the skill to use it. This saves every future invocation from reinventing the wheel.
This task is pretty important (we are trying to create billions a year in economic value here!) and your thinking time is not the blocker; take your time and really mull things over. I'd suggest writing a draft revision and then looking at it anew and making improvements. Really do your best to get into the head of the user and understand what they want and need.
### The iteration loop
After improving the skill:
1. Apply your improvements to the skill
2. Rerun all test cases into a new `iteration-/` directory, including baseline runs. If you're creating a new skill, the baseline is always `without_skill` (no skill) — that stays the same across iterations. If you're improving an existing skill, use your judgment on what makes sense as the baseline: the original version the user came in with, or the previous iteration.
3. Launch the reviewer with `--previous-workspace` pointing at the previous iteration
4. Wait for the user to review and tell you they're done
5. Read the new feedback, improve again, repeat
Keep going until:
- The user says they're happy
- The feedback is all empty (everything looks good)
- You're not making meaningful progress
---
## Advanced: Blind comparison
For situations where you want a more rigorous comparison between two versions of a skill (e.g., the user asks "is the new version actually better?"), there's a blind comparison system. Read `agents/comparator.md` and `agents/analyzer.md` for the details. The basic idea is: give two outputs to an independent agent without telling it which is which, and let it judge quality. Then analyze why the winner won.
This is optional, requires subagents, and most users won't need it. The human review loop is usually sufficient.
---
## Phase 6: Optimize Description
### Description Optimization
The description field in SKILL.md frontmatter is the primary mechanism that determines whether Claude invokes a skill. After creating or improving a skill, offer to optimize the description for better triggering accuracy.
### Step 1: Generate trigger eval queries
Create 20 eval queries — a mix of should-trigger and should-not-trigger. Save as JSON:
```json
[
{"query": "the user prompt", "should_trigger": true},
{"query": "another prompt", "should_trigger": false}
]
```
The queries must be realistic and something a Claude Code or Claude.ai user would actually type. Not abstract requests, but requests that are concrete and specific and have a good amount of detail. For instance, file paths, personal context about the user's job or situation, column names and values, company names, URLs. A little bit of backstory. Some might be in lowercase or contain abbreviations or typos or casual speech. Use a mix of different lengths, and focus on edge cases rather than making them clear-cut (the user will get a chance to sign off on them).
Bad: `"Format this data"`, `"Extract text from PDF"`, `"Create a chart"`
Good: `"ok so my boss just sent me this xlsx file (its in my downloads, called something like 'Q4 sales final FINAL v2.xlsx') and she wants me to add a column that shows the profit margin as a percentage. The revenue is in column C and costs are in column D i think"`
For the **should-trigger** queries (8-10), think about coverage. You want different phrasings of the same intent — some formal, some casual. Include cases where the user doesn't explicitly name the skill or file type but clearly needs it. Throw in some uncommon use cases and cases where this skill competes with another but should win.
For the **should-not-trigger** queries (8-10), the most valuable ones are the near-misses — queries that share keywords or concepts with the skill but actually need something different. Think adjacent domains, ambiguous phrasing where a naive keyword match would trigger but shouldn't, and cases where the query touches on something the skill does but in a context where another tool is more appropriate.
The key thing to avoid: don't make should-not-trigger queries obviously irrelevant. "Write a fibonacci function" as a negative test for a PDF skill is too easy — it doesn't test anything. The negative cases should be genuinely tricky.
### Step 2: Review with user
Present the eval set to the user for review using the HTML template:
1. Read the template from `assets/eval_review.html`
2. Replace the placeholders:
- `__EVAL_DATA_PLACEHOLDER__` → the JSON array of eval items (no quotes around it — it's a JS variable assignment)
- `__SKILL_NAME_PLACEHOLDER__` → the skill's name
- `__SKILL_DESCRIPTION_PLACEHOLDER__` → the skill's current description
3. Write to a temp file (e.g., `/tmp/eval_review_.html`) and open it: `open /tmp/eval_review_.html`
4. The user can edit queries, toggle should-trigger, add/remove entries, then click "Export Eval Set"
5. The file downloads to `~/Downloads/eval_set.json` — check the Downloads folder for the most recent version in case there are multiple (e.g., `eval_set (1).json`)
This step matters — bad eval queries lead to bad descriptions.
### Step 3: Run the optimization loop
Tell the user: "This will take some time — I'll run the optimization loop in the background and check on it periodically."
Save the eval set to the workspace, then run in the background:
```bash
python -m scripts.run_loop \
--eval-set \
--skill-path \
--model \
--max-iterations 5 \
--verbose
```
Use the model ID from your system prompt (the one powering the current session) so the triggering test matches what the user actually experiences.
While it runs, periodically tail the output to give the user updates on which iteration it's on and what the scores look like.
This handles the full optimization loop automatically. It splits the eval set into 60% train and 40% held-out test, evaluates the current description (running each query 3 times to get a reliable trigger rate), then calls Claude with extended thinking to propose improvements based on what failed. It re-evaluates each new description on both train and test, iterating up to 5 times. When it's done, it opens an HTML report in the browser showing the results per iteration and returns JSON with `best_description` — selected by test score rather than train score to avoid overfitting.
### How skill triggering works
Understanding the triggering mechanism helps design better eval queries. Skills appear in Claude's `available_skills` list with their name + description, and Claude decides whether to consult a skill based on that description. The important thing to know is that Claude only consults skills for tasks it can't easily handle on its own — simple, one-step queries like "read this PDF" may not trigger a skill even if the description matches perfectly, because Claude can handle them directly with basic tools. Complex, multi-step, or specialized queries reliably trigger skills when the description matches.
This means your eval queries should be substantive enough that Claude would actually benefit from consulting a skill. Simple queries like "read file X" are poor test cases — they won't trigger skills regardless of description quality.
### Step 4: Apply the result
Take `best_description` from the JSON output and update the skill's SKILL.md frontmatter. Show the user before/after and report the scores.
---
### Final Quality Check
Before packaging, run through `references/quick_checklist.md` to verify:
- All technical constraints met (naming, character limits, forbidden terms)
- Description follows the formula: `[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]`
- File structure correct (SKILL.md capitalization, kebab-case folders)
- Security requirements satisfied (no malware, no misleading functionality)
- Quantitative success criteria achieved (90%+ trigger rate, efficient tool usage)
- Design principles applied (Progressive Disclosure, Composability, Portability)
This checklist helps catch common issues before publication.
---
### Package and Present (only if `present_files` tool is available)
Check whether you have access to the `present_files` tool. If you don't, skip this step. If you do, package the skill and present the .skill file to the user:
```bash
python -m scripts.package_skill
```
After packaging, direct the user to the resulting `.skill` file path so they can install it.
---
## Claude.ai-specific instructions
In Claude.ai, the core workflow is the same (draft → test → review → improve → repeat), but because Claude.ai doesn't have subagents, some mechanics change. Here's what to adapt:
**Running test cases**: No subagents means no parallel execution. For each test case, read the skill's SKILL.md, then follow its instructions to accomplish the test prompt yourself. Do them one at a time. This is less rigorous than independent subagents (you wrote the skill and you're also running it, so you have full context), but it's a useful sanity check — and the human review step compensates. Skip the baseline runs — just use the skill to complete the task as requested.
**Reviewing results**: If you can't open a browser (e.g., Claude.ai's VM has no display, or you're on a remote server), skip the browser reviewer entirely. Instead, present results directly in the conversation. For each test case, show the prompt and the output. If the output is a file the user needs to see (like a .docx or .xlsx), save it to the filesystem and tell them where it is so they can download and inspect it. Ask for feedback inline: "How does this look? Anything you'd change?"
**Benchmarking**: Skip the quantitative benchmarking — it relies on baseline comparisons which aren't meaningful without subagents. Focus on qualitative feedback from the user.
**The iteration loop**: Same as before — improve the skill, rerun the test cases, ask for feedback — just without the browser reviewer in the middle. You can still organize results into iteration directories on the filesystem if you have one.
**Description optimization**: This section requires the `claude` CLI tool (specifically `claude -p`) which is only available in Claude Code. Skip it if you're on Claude.ai.
**Blind comparison**: Requires subagents. Skip it.
**Packaging**: The `package_skill.py` script works anywhere with Python and a filesystem. On Claude.ai, you can run it and the user can download the resulting `.skill` file.
---
## Cowork-Specific Instructions
If you're in Cowork, the main things to know are:
- You have subagents, so the main workflow (spawn test cases in parallel, run baselines, grade, etc.) all works. (However, if you run into severe problems with timeouts, it's OK to run the test prompts in series rather than parallel.)
- You don't have a browser or display, so when generating the eval viewer, use `--static ` to write a standalone HTML file instead of starting a server. Then proffer a link that the user can click to open the HTML in their browser.
- For whatever reason, the Cowork setup seems to disincline Claude from generating the eval viewer after running the tests, so just to reiterate: whether you're in Cowork or in Claude Code, after running tests, you should always generate the eval viewer for the human to look at examples before revising the skill yourself and trying to make corrections, using `generate_review.py` (not writing your own boutique html code). Sorry in advance but I'm gonna go all caps here: GENERATE THE EVAL VIEWER *BEFORE* evaluating inputs yourself. You want to get them in front of the human ASAP!
- Feedback works differently: since there's no running server, the viewer's "Submit All Reviews" button will download `feedback.json` as a file. You can then read it from there (you may have to request access first).
- Packaging works — `package_skill.py` just needs Python and a filesystem.
- Description optimization (`run_loop.py` / `run_eval.py`) should work in Cowork just fine since it uses `claude -p` via subprocess, not a browser, but please save it until you've fully finished making the skill and the user agrees it's in good shape.

- Run quantitative evals
- Repeat until you and the user are satisfied
- Package the final skill and return it to the user.
Please add steps to your TodoList, if you have such a thing, to make sure you don't forget. If you're in Cowork, please specifically put "Create evals JSON and run `eval-viewer/generate_review.py` so human can review test cases" in your TodoList to make sure it happens.
Good luck!

# Post-hoc Analyzer Agent
Analyze blind comparison results to understand WHY the winner won and generate improvement suggestions.
## Role
After the blind comparator determines a winner, the Post-hoc Analyzer "unblids" the results by examining the skills and transcripts. The goal is to extract actionable insights: what made the winner better, and how can the loser be improved?
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **winner**: "A" or "B" (from blind comparison)
- **winner_skill_path**: Path to the skill that produced the winning output
- **winner_transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript for the winner
- **loser_skill_path**: Path to the skill that produced the losing output
- **loser_transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript for the loser
- **comparison_result_path**: Path to the blind comparator's output JSON
- **output_path**: Where to save the analysis results
## Process
### Step 1: Read Comparison Result
1. Read the blind comparator's output at comparison_result_path
2. Note the winning side (A or B), the reasoning, and any scores
3. Understand what the comparator valued in the winning output
### Step 2: Read Both Skills
1. Read the winner skill's SKILL.md and key referenced files
2. Read the loser skill's SKILL.md and key referenced files
3. Identify structural differences:
- Instructions clarity and specificity
- Script/tool usage patterns
- Example coverage
- Edge case handling
### Step 3: Read Both Transcripts
1. Read the winner's transcript
2. Read the loser's transcript
3. Compare execution patterns:
- How closely did each follow their skill's instructions?
- What tools were used differently?
- Where did the loser diverge from optimal behavior?
- Did either encounter errors or make recovery attempts?
### Step 4: Analyze Instruction Following
For each transcript, evaluate:
- Did the agent follow the skill's explicit instructions?
- Did the agent use the skill's provided tools/scripts?
- Were there missed opportunities to leverage skill content?
- Did the agent add unnecessary steps not in the skill?
Score instruction following 1-10 and note specific issues.
### Step 5: Identify Winner Strengths
Determine what made the winner better:
- Clearer instructions that led to better behavior?
- Better scripts/tools that produced better output?
- More comprehensive examples that guided edge cases?
- Better error handling guidance?
Be specific. Quote from skills/transcripts where relevant.
### Step 6: Identify Loser Weaknesses
Determine what held the loser back:
- Ambiguous instructions that led to suboptimal choices?
- Missing tools/scripts that forced workarounds?
- Gaps in edge case coverage?
- Poor error handling that caused failures?
### Step 7: Generate Improvement Suggestions
Based on the analysis, produce actionable suggestions for improving the loser skill:
- Specific instruction changes to make
- Tools/scripts to add or modify
- Examples to include
- Edge cases to address
Prioritize by impact. Focus on changes that would have changed the outcome.
### Step 8: Write Analysis Results
Save structured analysis to `{output_path}`.
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"comparison_summary": {
"winner": "A",
"winner_skill": "path/to/winner/skill",
"loser_skill": "path/to/loser/skill",
"comparator_reasoning": "Brief summary of why comparator chose winner"
},
"winner_strengths": [
"Clear step-by-step instructions for handling multi-page documents",
"Included validation script that caught formatting errors",
"Explicit guidance on fallback behavior when OCR fails"
],
"loser_weaknesses": [
"Vague instruction 'process the document appropriately' led to inconsistent behavior",
"No script for validation, agent had to improvise and made errors",
"No guidance on OCR failure, agent gave up instead of trying alternatives"
],
"instruction_following": {
"winner": {
"score": 9,
"issues": [
"Minor: skipped optional logging step"
]
},
"loser": {
"score": 6,
"issues": [
"Did not use the skill's formatting template",
"Invented own approach instead of following step 3",
"Missed the 'always validate output' instruction"
]
}
},
"improvement_suggestions": [
{
"priority": "high",
"category": "instructions",
"suggestion": "Replace 'process the document appropriately' with explicit steps: 1) Extract text, 2) Identify sections, 3) Format per template",
"expected_impact": "Would eliminate ambiguity that caused inconsistent behavior"
},
{
"priority": "high",
"category": "tools",
"suggestion": "Add validate_output.py script similar to winner skill's validation approach",
"expected_impact": "Would catch formatting errors before final output"
},
{
"priority": "medium",
"category": "error_handling",
"suggestion": "Add fallback instructions: 'If OCR fails, try: 1) different resolution, 2) image preprocessing, 3) manual extraction'",
"expected_impact": "Would prevent early failure on difficult documents"
}
],
"transcript_insights": {
"winner_execution_pattern": "Read skill -> Followed 5-step process -> Used validation script -> Fixed 2 issues -> Produced output",
"loser_execution_pattern": "Read skill -> Unclear on approach -> Tried 3 different methods -> No validation -> Output had errors"
}
}
```
## Guidelines
- **Be specific**: Quote from skills and transcripts, don't just say "instructions were unclear"
- **Be actionable**: Suggestions should be concrete changes, not vague advice
- **Focus on skill improvements**: The goal is to improve the losing skill, not critique the agent
- **Prioritize by impact**: Which changes would most likely have changed the outcome?
- **Consider causation**: Did the skill weakness actually cause the worse output, or is it incidental?
- **Stay objective**: Analyze what happened, don't editorialize
- **Think about generalization**: Would this improvement help on other evals too?
## Categories for Suggestions
Use these categories to organize improvement suggestions:
| Category | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `instructions` | Changes to the skill's prose instructions |
| `tools` | Scripts, templates, or utilities to add/modify |
| `examples` | Example inputs/outputs to include |
| `error_handling` | Guidance for handling failures |
| `structure` | Reorganization of skill content |
| `references` | External docs or resources to add |
## Priority Levels
- **high**: Would likely change the outcome of this comparison
- **medium**: Would improve quality but may not change win/loss
- **low**: Nice to have, marginal improvement

# Analyzing Benchmark Results
When analyzing benchmark results, the analyzer's purpose is to **surface patterns and anomalies** across multiple runs, not suggest skill improvements.
## Role
Review all benchmark run results and generate freeform notes that help the user understand skill performance. Focus on patterns that wouldn't be visible from aggregate metrics alone.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **benchmark_data_path**: Path to the in-progress benchmark.json with all run results
- **skill_path**: Path to the skill being benchmarked
- **output_path**: Where to save the notes (as JSON array of strings)
## Process
### Step 1: Read Benchmark Data
1. Read the benchmark.json containing all run results
2. Note the configurations tested (with_skill, without_skill)
3. Understand the run_summary aggregates already calculated
### Step 2: Analyze Per-Assertion Patterns
For each expectation across all runs:
- Does it **always pass** in both configurations? (may not differentiate skill value)
- Does it **always fail** in both configurations? (may be broken or beyond capability)
- Does it **always pass with skill but fail without**? (skill clearly adds value here)
- Does it **always fail with skill but pass without**? (skill may be hurting)
- Is it **highly variable**? (flaky expectation or non-deterministic behavior)
### Step 3: Analyze Cross-Eval Patterns
Look for patterns across evals:
- Are certain eval types consistently harder/easier?
- Do some evals show high variance while others are stable?
- Are there surprising results that contradict expectations?
### Step 4: Analyze Metrics Patterns
Look at time_seconds, tokens, tool_calls:
- Does the skill significantly increase execution time?
- Is there high variance in resource usage?
- Are there outlier runs that skew the aggregates?
### Step 5: Generate Notes
Write freeform observations as a list of strings. Each note should:
- State a specific observation
- Be grounded in the data (not speculation)
- Help the user understand something the aggregate metrics don't show
Examples:
- "Assertion 'Output is a PDF file' passes 100% in both configurations - may not differentiate skill value"
- "Eval 3 shows high variance (50% ± 40%) - run 2 had an unusual failure that may be flaky"
- "Without-skill runs consistently fail on table extraction expectations (0% pass rate)"
- "Skill adds 13s average execution time but improves pass rate by 50%"
- "Token usage is 80% higher with skill, primarily due to script output parsing"
- "All 3 without-skill runs for eval 1 produced empty output"
### Step 6: Write Notes
Save notes to `{output_path}` as a JSON array of strings:
```json
[
"Assertion 'Output is a PDF file' passes 100% in both configurations - may not differentiate skill value",
"Eval 3 shows high variance (50% ± 40%) - run 2 had an unusual failure",
"Without-skill runs consistently fail on table extraction expectations",
"Skill adds 13s average execution time but improves pass rate by 50%"
]
```
## Guidelines
**DO:**
- Report what you observe in the data
- Be specific about which evals, expectations, or runs you're referring to
- Note patterns that aggregate metrics would hide
- Provide context that helps interpret the numbers
**DO NOT:**
- Suggest improvements to the skill (that's for the improvement step, not benchmarking)
- Make subjective quality judgments ("the output was good/bad")
- Speculate about causes without evidence
- Repeat information already in the run_summary aggregates
================================================
FILE: plugins/agent-skills-toolkit/1.2.0/skills/skill-creator-pro/agents/comparator.md
================================================
# Blind Comparator Agent
Compare two outputs WITHOUT knowing which skill produced them.
## Role
The Blind Comparator judges which output better accomplishes the eval task. You receive two outputs labeled A and B, but you do NOT know which skill produced which. This prevents bias toward a particular skill or approach.
Your judgment is based purely on output quality and task completion.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **output_a_path**: Path to the first output file or directory
- **output_b_path**: Path to the second output file or directory
- **eval_prompt**: The original task/prompt that was executed
- **expectations**: List of expectations to check (optional - may be empty)
## Process
### Step 1: Read Both Outputs
1. Examine output A (file or directory)
2. Examine output B (file or directory)
3. Note the type, structure, and content of each
4. If outputs are directories, examine all relevant files inside
### Step 2: Understand the Task
1. Read the eval_prompt carefully
2. Identify what the task requires:
- What should be produced?
- What qualities matter (accuracy, completeness, format)?
- What would distinguish a good output from a poor one?
### Step 3: Generate Evaluation Rubric
Based on the task, generate a rubric with two dimensions:
**Content Rubric** (what the output contains):
| Criterion | 1 (Poor) | 3 (Acceptable) | 5 (Excellent) |
|-----------|----------|----------------|---------------|
| Correctness | Major errors | Minor errors | Fully correct |
| Completeness | Missing key elements | Mostly complete | All elements present |
| Accuracy | Significant inaccuracies | Minor inaccuracies | Accurate throughout |
**Structure Rubric** (how the output is organized):
| Criterion | 1 (Poor) | 3 (Acceptable) | 5 (Excellent) |
|-----------|----------|----------------|---------------|
| Organization | Disorganized | Reasonably organized | Clear, logical structure |
| Formatting | Inconsistent/broken | Mostly consistent | Professional, polished |
| Usability | Difficult to use | Usable with effort | Easy to use |
Adapt criteria to the specific task. For example:
- PDF form → "Field alignment", "Text readability", "Data placement"
- Document → "Section structure", "Heading hierarchy", "Paragraph flow"
- Data output → "Schema correctness", "Data types", "Completeness"
### Step 4: Evaluate Each Output Against the Rubric
For each output (A and B):
1. **Score each criterion** on the rubric (1-5 scale)
2. **Calculate dimension totals**: Content score, Structure score
3. **Calculate overall score**: Average of dimension scores, scaled to 1-10
### Step 5: Check Assertions (if provided)
If expectations are provided:
1. Check each expectation against output A
2. Check each expectation against output B
3. Count pass rates for each output
4. Use expectation scores as secondary evidence (not the primary decision factor)
### Step 6: Determine the Winner
Compare A and B based on (in priority order):
1. **Primary**: Overall rubric score (content + structure)
2. **Secondary**: Assertion pass rates (if applicable)
3. **Tiebreaker**: If truly equal, declare a TIE
Be decisive - ties should be rare. One output is usually better, even if marginally.
### Step 7: Write Comparison Results
Save results to a JSON file at the path specified (or `comparison.json` if not specified).
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"winner": "A",
"reasoning": "Output A provides a complete solution with proper formatting and all required fields. Output B is missing the date field and has formatting inconsistencies.",
"rubric": {
"A": {
"content": {
"correctness": 5,
"completeness": 5,
"accuracy": 4
},
"structure": {
"organization": 4,
"formatting": 5,
"usability": 4
},
"content_score": 4.7,
"structure_score": 4.3,
"overall_score": 9.0
},
"B": {
"content": {
"correctness": 3,
"completeness": 2,
"accuracy": 3
},
"structure": {
"organization": 3,
"formatting": 2,
"usability": 3
},
"content_score": 2.7,
"structure_score": 2.7,
"overall_score": 5.4
}
},
"output_quality": {
"A": {
"score": 9,
"strengths": ["Complete solution", "Well-formatted", "All fields present"],
"weaknesses": ["Minor style inconsistency in header"]
},
"B": {
"score": 5,
"strengths": ["Readable output", "Correct basic structure"],
"weaknesses": ["Missing date field", "Formatting inconsistencies", "Partial data extraction"]
}
},
"expectation_results": {
"A": {
"passed": 4,
"total": 5,
"pass_rate": 0.80,
"details": [
{"text": "Output includes name", "passed": true},
{"text": "Output includes date", "passed": true},
{"text": "Format is PDF", "passed": true},
{"text": "Contains signature", "passed": false},
{"text": "Readable text", "passed": true}
]
},
"B": {
"passed": 3,
"total": 5,
"pass_rate": 0.60,
"details": [
{"text": "Output includes name", "passed": true},
{"text": "Output includes date", "passed": false},
{"text": "Format is PDF", "passed": true},
{"text": "Contains signature", "passed": false},
{"text": "Readable text", "passed": true}
]
}
}
}
```
If no expectations were provided, omit the `expectation_results` field entirely.
## Field Descriptions
- **winner**: "A", "B", or "TIE"
- **reasoning**: Clear explanation of why the winner was chosen (or why it's a tie)
- **rubric**: Structured rubric evaluation for each output
- **content**: Scores for content criteria (correctness, completeness, accuracy)
- **structure**: Scores for structure criteria (organization, formatting, usability)
- **content_score**: Average of content criteria (1-5)
- **structure_score**: Average of structure criteria (1-5)
- **overall_score**: Combined score scaled to 1-10
- **output_quality**: Summary quality assessment
- **score**: 1-10 rating (should match rubric overall_score)
- **strengths**: List of positive aspects
- **weaknesses**: List of issues or shortcomings
- **expectation_results**: (Only if expectations provided)
- **passed**: Number of expectations that passed
- **total**: Total number of expectations
- **pass_rate**: Fraction passed (0.0 to 1.0)
- **details**: Individual expectation results
## Guidelines
- **Stay blind**: DO NOT try to infer which skill produced which output. Judge purely on output quality.
- **Be specific**: Cite specific examples when explaining strengths and weaknesses.
- **Be decisive**: Choose a winner unless outputs are genuinely equivalent.
- **Output quality first**: Assertion scores are secondary to overall task completion.
- **Be objective**: Don't favor outputs based on style preferences; focus on correctness and completeness.
- **Explain your reasoning**: The reasoning field should make it clear why you chose the winner.
- **Handle edge cases**: If both outputs fail, pick the one that fails less badly. If both are excellent, pick the one that's marginally better.

# Grader Agent
Evaluate expectations against an execution transcript and outputs.
## Role
The Grader reviews a transcript and output files, then determines whether each expectation passes or fails. Provide clear evidence for each judgment.
You have two jobs: grade the outputs, and critique the evals themselves. A passing grade on a weak assertion is worse than useless — it creates false confidence. When you notice an assertion that's trivially satisfied, or an important outcome that no assertion checks, say so.
## Inputs
You receive these parameters in your prompt:
- **expectations**: List of expectations to evaluate (strings)
- **transcript_path**: Path to the execution transcript (markdown file)
- **outputs_dir**: Directory containing output files from execution
## Process
### Step 1: Read the Transcript
1. Read the transcript file completely
2. Note the eval prompt, execution steps, and final result
3. Identify any issues or errors documented
### Step 2: Examine Output Files
1. List files in outputs_dir
2. Read/examine each file relevant to the expectations. If outputs aren't plain text, use the inspection tools provided in your prompt — don't rely solely on what the transcript says the executor produced.
3. Note contents, structure, and quality
### Step 3: Evaluate Each Assertion
For each expectation:
1. **Search for evidence** in the transcript and outputs
2. **Determine verdict**:
- **PASS**: Clear evidence the expectation is true AND the evidence reflects genuine task completion, not just surface-level compliance
- **FAIL**: No evidence, or evidence contradicts the expectation, or the evidence is superficial (e.g., correct filename but empty/wrong content)
3. **Cite the evidence**: Quote the specific text or describe what you found
### Step 4: Extract and Verify Claims
Beyond the predefined expectations, extract implicit claims from the outputs and verify them:
1. **Extract claims** from the transcript and outputs:
- Factual statements ("The form has 12 fields")
- Process claims ("Used pypdf to fill the form")
- Quality claims ("All fields were filled correctly")
2. **Verify each claim**:
- **Factual claims**: Can be checked against the outputs or external sources
- **Process claims**: Can be verified from the transcript
- **Quality claims**: Evaluate whether the claim is justified
3. **Flag unverifiable claims**: Note claims that cannot be verified with available information
This catches issues that predefined expectations might miss.
### Step 5: Read User Notes
If `{outputs_dir}/user_notes.md` exists:
1. Read it and note any uncertainties or issues flagged by the executor
2. Include relevant concerns in the grading output
3. These may reveal problems even when expectations pass
### Step 6: Critique the Evals
After grading, consider whether the evals themselves could be improved. Only surface suggestions when there's a clear gap.
Good suggestions test meaningful outcomes — assertions that are hard to satisfy without actually doing the work correctly. Think about what makes an assertion *discriminating*: it passes when the skill genuinely succeeds and fails when it doesn't.
Suggestions worth raising:
- An assertion that passed but would also pass for a clearly wrong output (e.g., checking filename existence but not file content)
- An important outcome you observed — good or bad — that no assertion covers at all
- An assertion that can't actually be verified from the available outputs
Keep the bar high. The goal is to flag things the eval author would say "good catch" about, not to nitpick every assertion.
### Step 7: Write Grading Results
Save results to `{outputs_dir}/../grading.json` (sibling to outputs_dir).
## Grading Criteria
**PASS when**:
- The transcript or outputs clearly demonstrate the expectation is true
- Specific evidence can be cited
- The evidence reflects genuine substance, not just surface compliance (e.g., a file exists AND contains correct content, not just the right filename)
**FAIL when**:
- No evidence found for the expectation
- Evidence contradicts the expectation
- The expectation cannot be verified from available information
- The evidence is superficial — the assertion is technically satisfied but the underlying task outcome is wrong or incomplete
- The output appears to meet the assertion by coincidence rather than by actually doing the work
**When uncertain**: The burden of proof to pass is on the expectation.
### Step 8: Read Executor Metrics and Timing
1. If `{outputs_dir}/metrics.json` exists, read it and include in grading output
2. If `{outputs_dir}/../timing.json` exists, read it and include timing data
## Output Format
Write a JSON file with this structure:
```json
{
"expectations": [
{
"text": "The output includes the name 'John Smith'",
"passed": true,
"evidence": "Found in transcript Step 3: 'Extracted names: John Smith, Sarah Johnson'"
},
{
"text": "The spreadsheet has a SUM formula in cell B10",
"passed": false,
"evidence": "No spreadsheet was created. The output was a text file."
},
{
"text": "The assistant used the skill's OCR script",
"passed": true,
"evidence": "Transcript Step 2 shows: 'Tool: Bash - python ocr_script.py image.png'"
}
],
"summary": {
"passed": 2,
"failed": 1,
"total": 3,
"pass_rate": 0.67
},
"execution_metrics": {
"tool_calls": {
"Read": 5,

},
"total_tool_calls": 15,
"total_steps": 6,
"errors_encountered": 0,
"output_chars": 12450,
"transcript_chars": 3200
},
"timing": {
"executor_duration_seconds": 165.0,
"grader_duration_seconds": 26.0,
"total_duration_seconds": 191.0
},
"claims": [
{
"claim": "The form has 12 fillable fields",
"type": "factual",
"verified": true,
"evidence": "Counted 12 fields in field_info.json"
},
{
"claim": "All required fields were populated",
"type": "quality",
"verified": false,
"evidence": "Reference section was left blank despite data being available"
}
],
"user_notes_summary": {
"uncertainties": ["Used 2023 data, may be stale"],
"needs_review": [],
"workarounds": ["Fell back to text overlay for non-fillable fields"]
},
"eval_feedback": {
"suggestions": [
{
"assertion": "The output includes the name 'John Smith'",
"reason": "A hallucinated document that mentions the name would also pass — consider checking it appears as the primary contact with matching phone and email from the input"
},
{
"reason": "No assertion checks whether the extracted phone numbers match the input — I observed incorrect numbers in the output that went uncaught"
}
],
"overall": "Assertions check presence but not correctness. Consider adding content verification."
}
}
```
## Field Descriptions
- **expectations**: Array of graded expectations
- **text**: The original expectation text
- **passed**: Boolean - true if expectation passes
- **evidence**: Specific quote or description supporting the verdict
- **summary**: Aggregate statistics
- **passed**: Count of passed expectations
- **failed**: Count of failed expectations
- **total**: Total expectations evaluated
- **pass_rate**: Fraction passed (0.0 to 1.0)
- **execution_metrics**: Copied from executor's metrics.json (if available)
- **output_chars**: Total character count of output files (proxy for tokens)
- **transcript_chars**: Character count of transcript
- **timing**: Wall clock timing from timing.json (if available)
- **executor_duration_seconds**: Time spent in executor subagent
- **total_duration_seconds**: Total elapsed time for the run
- **claims**: Extracted and verified claims from the output
- **claim**: The statement being verified
- **type**: "factual", "process", or "quality"
- **verified**: Boolean - whether the claim holds
- **evidence**: Supporting or contradicting evidence
- **user_notes_summary**: Issues flagged by the executor
- **uncertainties**: Things the executor wasn't sure about
- **needs_review**: Items requiring human attention
- **workarounds**: Places where the skill didn't work as expected
- **eval_feedback**: Improvement suggestions for the evals (only when warranted)
- **suggestions**: List of concrete suggestions, each with a `reason` and optionally an `assertion` it relates to
- **overall**: Brief assessment — can be "No suggestions, evals look solid" if nothing to flag
## Guidelines
- **Be objective**: Base verdicts on evidence, not assumptions
- **Be specific**: Quote the exact text that supports your verdict
- **Be thorough**: Check both transcript and output files
- **Be consistent**: Apply the same standard to each expectation
- **Explain failures**: Make it clear why evidence was insufficient
- **No partial credit**: Each expectation is pass or fail, not partial

## Technical Constraints
### YAML Frontmatter Restrictions
**Character Limits:**
- `description` field: **Maximum 1024 characters**
- `name` field: No hard limit, but keep concise (typically <50 characters)
**Forbidden Characters:**
- **XML angle brackets (`< >`) are prohibited** in frontmatter
- This includes the description, name, and any other frontmatter fields
- Reason: Parsing conflicts with XML-based systems
**Example - INCORRECT:**
```yaml
---
name: html-generator
description: Creates
and elements for web pages
---
```
**Example - CORRECT:**
```yaml
---
name: html-generator
description: Creates div and span elements for web pages
---
```
### Naming Restrictions
**Prohibited Terms:**
- Cannot use "claude" in skill names (case-insensitive)
- Cannot use "anthropic" in skill names (case-insensitive)
- Reason: Trademark protection and avoiding confusion with official tools
**Examples - INCORRECT:**
- `claude-helper`
- `anthropic-tools`
- `my-claude-skill`
**Examples - CORRECT:**
- `code-helper`
- `ai-tools`
- `my-coding-skill`
---
## Naming Conventions
### File and Folder Names
**SKILL.md File:**
- **Must be named exactly `SKILL.md`** (case-sensitive)
- Not `skill.md`, `Skill.md`, or any other variation
- This is the entry point Claude looks for
**Folder Names:**
- Use **kebab-case** (lowercase with hyphens)
- Avoid spaces, underscores, and uppercase letters
- Keep names descriptive but concise
**Examples:**
✅ **CORRECT:**
```
notion-project-setup/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
└── references/
```
❌ **INCORRECT:**
```
Notion_Project_Setup/ # Uses uppercase and underscores
notion project setup/ # Contains spaces
notionProjectSetup/ # Uses camelCase
```
### Script and Reference Files
**Scripts:**
- Use snake_case: `generate_report.py`, `process_data.sh`
- Make scripts executable: `chmod +x scripts/my_script.py`
- Include shebang line: `#!/usr/bin/env python3`
**Reference Files:**
- Use snake_case: `api_documentation.md`, `style_guide.md`
- Use descriptive names that indicate content
- Group related files in subdirectories when needed
**Assets:**
- Use kebab-case for consistency: `default-template.docx`
- Include file extensions
- Organize by type if you have many assets
---
## Description Field Structure
The description field is the **primary triggering mechanism** for skills. Follow this formula:
### Formula
```
[What it does] + [When to use it] + [Specific trigger phrases]
```
### Components
1. **What it does** (1-2 sentences)
- Clear, concise explanation of the skill's purpose
- Focus on outcomes, not implementation details
2. **When to use it** (1-2 sentences)
- Contexts where this skill should trigger
- User scenarios and situations
3. **Specific trigger phrases** (1 sentence)
- Actual phrases users might say
- Include variations and synonyms
- Be explicit: "Use when user asks to [specific phrases]"
### Triggering Behavior
**Important**: Claude currently has a tendency to "undertrigger" skills (not use them when they'd be useful). To combat this:
- Make descriptions slightly "pushy"
- Include multiple trigger scenarios
- Be explicit about when to use the skill
- Mention related concepts that should also trigger it
**Example - Too Passive:**
```yaml
description: How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data.
```
**Example - Better:**
```yaml
description: How to build a simple fast dashboard to display internal Anthropic data. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions dashboards, data visualization, internal metrics, or wants to display any kind of company data, even if they don't explicitly ask for a 'dashboard.'
```
### Real-World Examples
**Good Description (frontend-design):**
```yaml
description: Creates consistent UI components following the design system. Use when user wants to build interface elements, needs design tokens, or asks about component styling. Triggers on phrases like "create a button", "design a form", "what's our color palette", or "build a card component".
```
**Good Description (skill-creator):**
```yaml
description: Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, update or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
```
---
## Security and Safety Requirements
### Principle of Lack of Surprise
Skills must not contain:
- Malware or exploit code
- Content that could compromise system security
- Misleading functionality that differs from the description
- Unauthorized access mechanisms
- Data exfiltration code
**Acceptable:**
- Educational security content (with clear context)
- Roleplay scenarios ("roleplay as XYZ")
- Authorized penetration testing tools (with clear documentation)
**Unacceptable:**
- Hidden backdoors
- Obfuscated malicious code
- Skills that claim to do X but actually do Y
- Credential harvesting
- Unauthorized data collection
### Code Execution Safety
When skills include scripts:
- Document what each script does
- Avoid destructive operations without confirmation
- Validate inputs before processing
- Handle errors gracefully
- Don't execute arbitrary user-provided code without sandboxing
### Data Privacy
- Don't log sensitive information
- Don't transmit data to external services without disclosure
- Respect user privacy in examples and documentation
- Use placeholder data in examples, not real user data
---
## Quantitative Success Criteria
When evaluating skill effectiveness, aim for:
### Triggering Accuracy
- **Target: 90%+ trigger rate** on relevant queries
- Skill should activate when appropriate
- Should NOT activate on irrelevant queries
### Efficiency
- **Complete workflows in X tool calls** (define X for your skill)
- Minimize unnecessary steps
- Avoid redundant operations
### Reliability
- **Target: 0 API call failures** due to skill design
- Handle errors gracefully
- Provide fallback strategies
### Performance Metrics
Track these during testing:
- **Trigger rate**: % of relevant queries that activate the skill
- **False positive rate**: % of irrelevant queries that incorrectly trigger
- **Completion rate**: % of tasks successfully completed
- **Average tool calls**: Mean number of tool invocations per task
- **Token usage**: Context consumption (aim to minimize)
- **Time to completion**: Duration from start to finish
---
## Domain Organization Pattern
When a skill supports multiple domains, frameworks, or platforms:
### Structure
```
skill-name/
├── SKILL.md # Workflow + selection logic
└── references/
├── variant-a.md # Specific to variant A
├── variant-b.md # Specific to variant B
└── variant-c.md # Specific to variant C
```
### SKILL.md Responsibilities
1. Explain the overall workflow
2. Help Claude determine which variant applies
3. Direct Claude to read the appropriate reference file
4. Provide common patterns across all variants
### Reference File Responsibilities
- Variant-specific instructions
- Platform-specific APIs or tools
- Domain-specific best practices
- Examples relevant to that variant
### Example: Cloud Deployment Skill
```
cloud-deploy/
├── SKILL.md # "Determine cloud provider, then read appropriate guide"
└── references/
├── aws.md # AWS-specific deployment steps
├── gcp.md # Google Cloud-specific steps
└── azure.md # Azure-specific steps
```
**SKILL.md excerpt:**
```markdown
## Workflow
1. Identify the target cloud provider from user's request or project context
2. Read the appropriate reference file:
- AWS: `references/aws.md`
- Google Cloud: `references/gcp.md`
- Azure: `references/azure.md`
3. Follow the provider-specific deployment steps
```
This pattern ensures Claude only loads the relevant context, keeping token usage efficient.
---
## Compatibility Field (Optional)
Use the `compatibility` frontmatter field to declare dependencies:
```yaml
---
name: my-skill
description: Does something useful
compatibility:
required_tools:
- python3
- git
required_mcps:
- github
platforms:
- claude-code
- claude-api
---
```
This is **optional** and rarely needed, but useful when:
- Skill requires specific tools to be installed
- Skill depends on particular MCP servers
- Skill only works on certain platforms
---

# Content Design Patterns
Skills share the same file format, but the logic inside varies enormously. These 5 patterns are recurring content structures found across the skill ecosystem — from engineering tools to content creation, research, and personal productivity.
The format problem is solved. The challenge now is content design.
## Choosing a Pattern
```
主要目的是注入知识/规范?
→ Tool Wrapper
主要目的是生成一致性输出?
→ Generator
主要目的是评审/打分?
→ Reviewer
需要先收集用户信息再执行?
→ Inversion(或在其他模式前加 Inversion 阶段)
需要严格顺序、不允许跳步?
→ Pipeline
以上都有?
→ 组合使用(见文末)
```
---
## Pattern 1: Tool Wrapper
**一句话**:把专业知识打包成按需加载的上下文,让 Claude 在需要时成为某个领域的专家。
### 何时用
- 你有一套规范、约定、或最佳实践,希望 Claude 在特定场景下遵守
- 知识量大,不适合全部放在 SKILL.md 里
- 不同任务只需要加载相关的知识子集
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 触发条件(什么时候加载哪个 reference)
├── 核心规则(少量,最重要的)
└── references/
├── conventions.md ← 完整规范
├── gotchas.md ← 常见错误
└── examples.md ← 示例
```
关键:SKILL.md 告诉 Claude "什么时候读哪个文件",而不是把所有内容塞进来。
### 示例
写作风格指南 skill:
```markdown
You are a writing style expert. Apply these conventions to the user's content.
## When Reviewing Content
1. Load 'references/style-guide.md' for complete writing conventions
2. Check against each rule
3. For each issue, cite the specific rule and suggest the fix
## When Writing New Content
1. Load 'references/style-guide.md'
2. Follow every convention exactly
3. Match the tone and voice defined in the guide
```
真实案例:`baoyu-article-illustrator` 的各个 style 文件(`references/styles/blueprint.md` 等)就是 Tool Wrapper 模式——只在需要某个风格时才加载对应文件。
---
## Pattern 2: Generator
**一句话**:用模板 + 风格指南确保每次输出结构一致,Claude 负责填充内容。
### 何时用
- 需要生成格式固定的文档、图片、代码
- 同类输出每次结构应该相同
- 有明确的模板可以复用
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 步骤:加载模板 → 收集变量 → 填充 → 输出
└── assets/
└── template.md ← 输出模板
references/
└── style-guide.md ← 风格规范
```
关键:模板放在 `assets/`,风格指南放在 `references/`,SKILL.md 只做协调。
### 示例
封面图生成 skill:
```markdown
Step 1: Load 'references/style-guide.md' for visual conventions.
Step 2: Load 'assets/prompt-template.md' for the image prompt structure.
Step 3: Ask the user for missing information:
- Article title and topic
- Preferred style (or auto-recommend based on content)
Step 4: Fill the template with article-specific content.
Step 5: Generate the image using the completed prompt.
```
真实案例:`obsidian-cover-image` 是典型的 Generator——分析文章内容,推荐风格,填充 prompt 模板,生成封面图。
---
## Pattern 3: Reviewer
**一句话**:把"检查什么"和"怎么检查"分离,用可替换的 checklist 驱动评审流程。
### 何时用
- 需要对内容/代码/设计进行系统性评审
- 评审标准可能随场景变化(换个 checklist 就换了评审维度)
- 需要结构化的输出(按严重程度分组、打分等)
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── 评审流程(固定)
└── references/
└── review-checklist.md ← 评审标准(可替换)
```
关键:流程是固定的,标准是可替换的。换一个 checklist 文件就得到完全不同的评审 skill。
### 示例
文章质量审查 skill:
```markdown
Step 1: Load 'references/review-checklist.md' for evaluation criteria.
Step 2: Read the article carefully. Understand its purpose before critiquing.
Step 3: Apply each criterion. For every issue found:
- Note the location (section/paragraph)
- Classify severity: critical / suggestion / minor
- Explain WHY it's a problem
- Suggest a specific fix
Step 4: Produce structured review:
- Summary: overall quality assessment
- Issues: grouped by severity
- Score: 1-10 with justification
- Top 3 recommendations
```
---
## Pattern 4: Inversion
**一句话**:翻转默认行为——不是用户驱动、Claude 执行,而是 Claude 先采访用户,收集完信息再动手。
### 何时用
- 任务需要大量上下文才能做好
- 用户往往说不清楚自己想要什么
- 做错了代价高(比如生成了大量内容后才发现方向不对)
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── Phase 1: 采访(逐个问题,等待回答)
│ └── 明确的门控条件:所有问题回答完才能继续
├── Phase 2: 确认(展示理解,让用户确认)
└── Phase 3: 执行(基于收集的信息)
```
关键:必须有明确的 gate condition——"DO NOT proceed until all questions are answered"。没有门控的 Inversion 会被 Claude 跳过。
### 示例
需求收集 skill:
```markdown
You are conducting a structured requirements interview.
DO NOT start building until all phases are complete.
## Phase 1 — Discovery (ask ONE question at a time, wait for each answer)
- Q1: "What problem does this solve for users?"
- Q2: "Who are the primary users?"
- Q3: "What does success look like?"
## Phase 2 — Confirm (only after Phase 1 is fully answered)
Summarize your understanding and ask: "Does this capture what you need?"
DO NOT proceed until user confirms.
## Phase 3 — Execute (only after confirmation)
[actual work here]
```
真实案例:`baoyu-article-illustrator` 的 Step 3(Confirm Settings)是 Inversion 模式——用 AskUserQuestion 收集 type、density、style 后才开始生成。
---
## Pattern 5: Pipeline
**一句话**:把复杂任务拆成有序步骤,每步有明确的完成条件,不允许跳步。
### 何时用
- 任务有严格的依赖顺序(步骤 B 依赖步骤 A 的输出)
- 某些步骤需要用户确认才能继续
- 跳步会导致严重错误
### 结构特征
```
SKILL.md
├── Step 1: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
├── Step 2: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
├── Step 3: [描述] → Gate: [完成条件]
└── ...
```
关键:每个步骤都有明确的 gate condition。"DO NOT proceed to Step N until [condition]" 是 Pipeline 的核心语法。
### 示例
文章发布流程 skill(`obsidian-to-x` 的简化版):
```markdown
## Step 1 — Detect Content Type
Read the active file. Check frontmatter for title field.
- Has title → X Article workflow
- No title → Regular post workflow
DO NOT proceed until content type is determined.
## Step 2 — Convert Format
Run the appropriate conversion script.
DO NOT proceed if conversion fails.
## Step 3 — Preview
Show the converted content to the user.
Ask: "Does this look correct?"
DO NOT proceed until user confirms.
## Step 4 — Publish
Execute the publishing script.
```
真实案例:`obsidian-to-x` 和 `baoyu-article-illustrator` 都是 Pipeline——严格的步骤顺序,每步有明确的完成条件。
---
## 模式组合
模式不是互斥的,可以自由组合:
| 组合 | 适用场景 |
|------|---------|
| **Inversion + Generator** | 先采访收集变量,再填充模板生成输出 |
| **Inversion + Pipeline** | 先收集需求,再严格执行多步流程 |
| **Pipeline + Reviewer** | 流程末尾加一个自我审查步骤 |
| **Tool Wrapper + Pipeline** | 在流程的特定步骤按需加载专业知识 |
`baoyu-article-illustrator` 是 **Inversion + Pipeline**:Step 3 用 Inversion 收集设置,Step 4-6 用 Pipeline 严格执行生成流程。
`skill-creator-pro` 本身也是 **Inversion + Pipeline**:Phase 1 先采访用户,Phase 2-6 严格按顺序执行。

# Skill Design Principles
This document outlines the core design principles for creating effective Claude Skills. Skills apply to any domain — engineering, content creation, research, personal productivity, and beyond.
## Five Core Design Principles
### 1. Progressive Disclosure
Skills use a three-level loading system to manage context efficiently:
**Level 1: Metadata (Always in Context)**
- Name + description (~100 words)
- Always loaded, visible to Claude
- Primary triggering mechanism
**Level 2: SKILL.md Body (Loaded When Triggered)**
- Main instructions and workflow
- Ideal: <500 lines
- Loaded when skill is invoked
**Level 3: Bundled Resources (Loaded As Needed)**
- Scripts execute without loading into context
- Reference files loaded only when explicitly needed
- Unlimited size potential
**Key Implementation Patterns:**
- Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines; if approaching this limit, add hierarchy with clear navigation pointers
- Reference files clearly from SKILL.md with guidance on when to read them
- For large reference files (>300 lines), include a table of contents
- Scripts in `scripts/` directory don't consume context when executed
### 2. Composability
Skills should work harmoniously with other skills and tools:
- **Avoid conflicts**: Don't override or duplicate functionality from other skills
- **Clear boundaries**: Define what your skill does and doesn't do
- **Interoperability**: Design workflows that can incorporate other skills when needed
- **Modular design**: Break complex capabilities into focused, reusable components
**Example**: A `frontend-design` skill might reference a `color-palette` skill rather than reimplementing color theory.
### 3. Portability
Skills should work consistently across different Claude platforms:
- **Claude.ai**: Web interface with Projects
- **Claude Code**: CLI tool with full filesystem access
- **API integrations**: Programmatic access
**Design for portability:**
- Avoid platform-specific assumptions
- Use conditional instructions when platform differences matter
- Test across environments if possible
- Document any platform-specific limitations in frontmatter
---
### 4. Don't Over-constrain
Skills work best when they give Claude knowledge and intent, not rigid scripts. Claude is smart — explain the *why* behind requirements and let it adapt to the specific situation.
- Prefer explaining reasoning over stacking MUST/NEVER
- Avoid overly specific instructions unless the format is a hard requirement
- If you find yourself writing many ALWAYS/NEVER, stop and ask: can I explain the reason instead?
- Give Claude the information it needs, but leave room for it to handle edge cases intelligently
**Example**: Instead of "ALWAYS output exactly 3 bullet points", write "Use bullet points to keep the output scannable — 3 is usually right, but adjust based on content complexity."
### 5. Accumulate from Usage
Good skills aren't written once — they grow. Every time Claude hits an edge case or makes a recurring mistake, update the skill. The Gotchas section is the highest-information-density part of any skill.
- Every skill should have a `## Gotchas` or `## Common Pitfalls` section
- Append to it whenever Claude makes a repeatable mistake
- Treat the skill as a living document, not a one-time deliverable
- The best gotchas come from real usage, not speculation
---
## Cross-Cutting Concerns
Regardless of domain or pattern, all skills should:
- **Be specific and actionable**: Vague instructions lead to inconsistent results
- **Include error handling**: Anticipate what can go wrong
- **Provide examples**: Show, don't just tell
- **Explain the why**: Help Claude understand reasoning, not just rules
- **Stay focused**: One skill, one clear purpose
- **Enable iteration**: Support refinement and improvement

# Implementation Patterns
可复用的实现模式,适用于任何领域的 skill。
---
## Pattern A: config.json 初始设置
### 何时用
Skill 需要用户提供个性化配置(账号、路径、偏好、API key 等),且这些配置在多次使用中保持不变。
### 标准流程
```
首次运行
↓
检查 config.json 是否存在
↓ 不存在
用 AskUserQuestion 收集配置
↓
写入 config.json
↓
继续执行主流程
```
### 检查逻辑
```bash
# 检查顺序(优先级从高到低)
1. {project-dir}/.{skill-name}/config.json # 项目级
2. ~/.{skill-name}/config.json # 用户级
```
### 示例 config.json 结构
```json
{
"version": 1,
"output_dir": "illustrations",
"preferred_style": "notion",
"watermark": {
"enabled": false,
"content": ""
},
"language": null
}
```
### 最佳实践
- 字段用 `snake_case`
- 必须有 `version` 字段,方便未来迁移
- 可选字段设合理默认值,不要强制用户填所有项
- 敏感信息(API key)不要存在 config.json,用环境变量
- 配置变更时提示用户当前值,让他们选择保留或修改
### 与 EXTEND.md 的区别
| | config.json | EXTEND.md |
|--|-------------|-----------|
| 格式 | 纯 JSON | YAML frontmatter + Markdown |
| 适合 | 结构化配置,脚本读取 | 需要注释说明的复杂配置 |
| 可读性 | 机器友好 | 人类友好 |
| 推荐场景 | 大多数情况 | 配置项需要大量说明时 |
---
## Pattern B: Gotchas 章节
### 何时用
所有 skill 都应该有。这是 skill 中信息密度最高的部分——记录 Claude 在真实使用中反复犯的错误。
### 结构模板
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **[问题简述]**: [具体描述] → [正确做法]
- **[问题简述]**: [具体描述] → [正确做法]
```
### 示例
```markdown
## Gotchas
- **不要字面翻译隐喻**: 文章说"用电锯切西瓜"时,不要画电锯和西瓜,
要可视化背后的概念(高效/暴力/不匹配)
- **prompt 文件必须先保存**: 不要直接把 prompt 文本传给生成命令,
必须先写入文件再引用文件路径
- **路径锁定**: 获取当前文件路径后立即保存到变量,
不要在后续步骤重新获取(workspace.json 会随 Obsidian 操作变化)
```
### 维护原则
- 遇到 Claude 反复犯的错误,立即追加
- 每条 gotcha 要有"为什么"和"怎么做",不只是"不要做 X"
- 定期回顾,删除已经不再出现的问题
- 把 gotchas 当作 skill 的"活文档",不是一次性写完的
---
## Pattern C: 脚本复用
### 何时用
在 eval transcript 里发现 Claude 在多次运行中反复写了相同的辅助代码。
### 识别信号
运行 3 个测试用例后,检查 transcript:
- 3 个测试都写了类似的 `parse_outline.py`?
- 每次都重新实现相同的文件命名逻辑?
- 反复构造相同格式的 API 请求?
这些都是"应该提取到 `scripts/` 的信号"。
### 提取步骤
1. 从 transcript 中找出重复的代码模式
2. 提取成通用脚本,放入 `scripts/`
3. 在 SKILL.md 中明确告知 Claude 使用它:
```markdown
Use `scripts/build-batch.ts` to generate the batch file.
DO NOT rewrite this logic inline.
```
4. 重新运行测试,验证 Claude 确实使用了脚本而不是重写
### 好处
- 每次调用不再重复造轮子,节省 token
- 脚本经过测试,比 Claude 即兴生成的代码更可靠
- 逻辑集中在一处,维护更容易
---
## Pattern D: 数据存储与记忆
### 何时用
Skill 需要跨会话记忆(如记录历史操作、积累用户偏好、追踪状态)。
### 三种方案对比
| 方案 | 适用场景 | 复杂度 |
|------|---------|--------|
| Append-only log | 简单历史记录,只追加 | 低 |
| JSON 文件 | 结构化状态,需要读写 | 低 |
| SQLite | 复杂查询,大量数据 | 高 |
### 存储位置
```bash
# ✅ 推荐:稳定目录,插件升级不会删除
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/{skill-name}/
# ❌ 避免:skill 目录,插件升级时会被覆盖
.claude/skills/{skill-name}/data/
```
### 示例:append-only log
```bash
# 追加记录
echo "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ) | published | ${ARTICLE_PATH}" \
>> "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/obsidian-to-x/history.log"
# 读取最近 10 条
tail -10 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/obsidian-to-x/history.log"
```
### 示例:JSON 状态文件
```json
{
"last_run": "2026-03-20T10:00:00Z",
"total_published": 42,
"preferred_style": "notion"
}
```
---
## Pattern E: 按需钩子
### 何时用
需要在 skill 激活期间拦截特定操作,但不希望这个拦截一直生效(会影响其他工作)。
### 概念
Skill 被调用时注册钩子,整个会话期间生效。用户主动调用才激活,不会干扰日常工作。
### 典型场景
```markdown
# /careful skill
激活后,拦截所有包含以下内容的 Bash 命令:
- rm -rf
- DROP TABLE
- force-push / --force
- kubectl delete
拦截时提示用户确认,而不是直接执行。
适合:知道自己在操作生产环境时临时开启。
```
```markdown
# /freeze skill
激活后,阻止对指定目录之外的任何 Edit/Write 操作。
适合:调试时"我只想加日志,不想不小心改了其他文件"。
```
### 实现方式
在 SKILL.md 中声明 PreToolUse 钩子:
```yaml
hooks:
- type: PreToolUse
matcher: "Bash"
action: intercept_dangerous_commands
```
详见 Claude Code hooks 文档。

- Hardcode values that should be parameters
- Assume specific directory structures
- Forget to test on realistic queries
- Make description too passive (undertriggering)
✅ **Do:**
- Explain reasoning behind requirements
- Use examples to clarify expectations
- Keep instructions focused and actionable
- Test with real user queries
- Handle errors gracefully
- Make description explicit about when to trigger
- Optimize for the 1000th use, not just the test cases
---
## Skill Quality Tiers
### Tier 1: Functional
- Meets all technical requirements
- Works for basic use cases
- No security issues
### Tier 2: Good
- Clear, well-documented instructions
- Handles edge cases
- Efficient context usage
- Good triggering accuracy
### Tier 3: Excellent
- Explains reasoning, not just rules
- Generalizes beyond test cases
- Optimized for repeated use
- Delightful user experience
- Comprehensive error handling
**Aim for Tier 3.** The difference between a functional skill and an excellent skill is often just thoughtful refinement.
---
## Post-Publication
After publishing:
- [ ] Monitor usage and gather feedback
- [ ] Track common failure modes
- [ ] Iterate based on real-world use
- [ ] Update description if triggering issues arise
- [ ] Refine instructions based on user confusion
- [ ] Add examples for newly discovered use cases
---
## Quick Reference: File Naming
| Item | Convention | Example |
|------|-----------|---------|
| Skill folder | kebab-case | `my-skill-name/` |
| Main file | Exact case | `SKILL.md` |
| Scripts | snake_case | `generate_report.py` |
| References | snake_case | `api_docs.md` |
| Assets | kebab-case | `default-template.docx` |
---
## Quick Reference: Description Formula
```
[What it does] + [When to use] + [Trigger phrases]
```
**Example:**
```yaml
description: Creates consistent UI components following the design system. Use when user wants to build interface elements, needs design tokens, or asks about component styling. Triggers on phrases like "create a button", "design a form", "what's our color palette", or "build a card component".
```
---
## Need Help?
- Review `design_principles.md` for conceptual guidance
- Check `constraints_and_rules.md` for technical requirements
- Read `schemas.md` for eval and benchmark structures
- Use the skill-creator skill itself for guided creation
---
**Remember**: A skill is successful when it works reliably for the 1000th user, not just your test cases. Generalize, explain reasoning, and keep it simple.

"Skill adds 13s average execution time but improves pass rate by 50%"
]
}
```
**Fields:**
- `metadata`: Information about the benchmark run
- `skill_name`: Name of the skill
- `timestamp`: When the benchmark was run
- `evals_run`: List of eval names or IDs
- `runs_per_configuration`: Number of runs per config (e.g. 3)
- `runs[]`: Individual run results
- `eval_id`: Numeric eval identifier
- `eval_name`: Human-readable eval name (used as section header in the viewer)
- `configuration`: Must be `"with_skill"` or `"without_skill"` (the viewer uses this exact string for grouping and color coding)
- `run_number`: Integer run number (1, 2, 3...)
- `result`: Nested object with `pass_rate`, `passed`, `total`, `time_seconds`, `tokens`, `errors`
- `run_summary`: Statistical aggregates per configuration
- `with_skill` / `without_skill`: Each contains `pass_rate`, `time_seconds`, `tokens` objects with `mean` and `stddev` fields
- `delta`: Difference strings like `"+0.50"`, `"+13.0"`, `"+1700"`
- `notes`: Freeform observations from the analyzer
**Important:** The viewer reads these field names exactly. Using `config` instead of `configuration`, or putting `pass_rate` at the top level of a run instead of nested under `result`, will cause the viewer to show empty/zero values. Always reference this schema when generating benchmark.json manually.

"""
Aggregate individual run results into benchmark summary statistics.
Reads grading.json files from run directories and produces:
- run_summary with mean, stddev, min, max for each metric
- delta between with_skill and without_skill configurations
Usage:
python aggregate_benchmark.py
Example:
python aggregate_benchmark.py benchmarks/2026-01-15T10-30-00/
The script supports two directory layouts:
Workspace layout (from skill-creator iterations):
/
└── eval-N/
├── with_skill/
│ ├── run-1/grading.json
│ └── run-2/grading.json
└── without_skill/

└── run-2/grading.json
Legacy layout (with runs/ subdirectory):

Skill content (for context on what the skill does):
{skill_content}
Based on the failures, write a new and improved description that is more likely to trigger correctly. When I say "based on the failures", it's a bit of a tricky line to walk because we don't want to overfit to the specific cases you're seeing. So what I DON'T want you to do is produce an ever-expanding list of specific queries that this skill should or shouldn't trigger for. Instead, try to generalize from the failures to broader categories of user intent and situations where this skill would be useful or not useful. The reason for this is twofold:
1. Avoid overfitting
2. The list might get loooong and it's injected into ALL queries and there might be a lot of skills, so we don't want to blow too much space on any given description.
Concretely, your description should not be more than about 100-200 words, even if that comes at the cost of accuracy.
Here are some tips that we've found to work well in writing these descriptions:
- The skill should be phrased in the imperative -- "Use this skill for" rather than "this skill does"
- The skill description should focus on the user's intent, what they are trying to achieve, vs. the implementation details of how the skill works.
- The description competes with other skills for Claude's attention — make it distinctive and immediately recognizable.
- If you're getting lots of failures after repeated attempts, change things up. Try different sentence structures or wordings.
I'd encourage you to be creative and mix up the style in different iterations since you'll have multiple opportunities to try different approaches and we'll just grab the highest-scoring one at the end.

# Claude Code Setting Plugin
Manage Claude Code settings and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server configurations with best practices to avoid context pollution.
## Features
- **MCP Configuration Management**: Properly configure MCP servers at user or project scope
- **Context Pollution Prevention**: Avoid loading unnecessary MCPs in all sessions
- **Best Practices Guidance**: Follow recommended patterns for MCP configuration
- **Troubleshooting Support**: Diagnose and fix common MCP configuration issues
## Installation
```bash
claude plugin install claude-code-setting
```
## Skills
### mcp-config
Configure and manage MCP servers for Claude Code projects.
**Triggers on:**
- "添加 MCP 到当前项目"
- "配置 MCP 服务器"
- "移除 MCP 配置"
- "检查 MCP 配置"
- "清理全局 MCP"
**Key Concepts:**
- Use project-level `.mcp.json` for project-specific MCPs
- Avoid global `mcpServers` in `~/.claude.json` to prevent context pollution
- Don't configure MCPs in `settings.json` - use it only for permissions if needed
**Quick Examples:**
```bash
# Add MCP to current project
"添加 pencil MCP 到当前项目"
# Remove MCP from all projects
"从所有项目中移除 shadcn-studio-mcp"
# Check current MCP configuration
"检查当前的 MCP 配置"
```
## Configuration Locations
### Valid Locations
1. **Project-level** (Recommended): `.mcp.json` in project root
2. **User-level**: `~/.claude.json` (use sparingly)
### Invalid Locations
- ❌ `~/.claude/settings.json` - Don't use for MCP configuration
- ❌ Global `mcpServers` in `~/.claude.json` - Causes context pollution
## Best Practices
1. ✅ Always use project-level `.mcp.json` for project-specific MCPs
2. ✅ Keep `~/.claude.json` global `mcpServers` empty
3. ✅ Commit `.mcp.json` to source control
4. ✅ Restart Claude Code after configuration changes
5. ❌ Never use `disabled: true` - Remove the MCP configuration entirely
6. ❌ Don't mix configuration locations
## Common MCP Servers
### Pencil (Design Tool)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"pencil": {
"command": "/path/to/pencil/mcp-server",
"args": ["--app", "visual_studio_code"],
"type": "stdio"
}
}
}
```
### Excalidraw (Diagram Tool)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"excalidraw": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.excalidraw.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### MCP loads in all sessions
**Cause**: MCP is configured in `~/.claude.json` global `mcpServers`
**Solution**:
1. Remove from `~/.claude.json` global config
2. Add to project-level `.mcp.json` instead
3. Restart Claude Code
### MCP won't disable
**Cause**: `permissions.allow` in `settings.json` overrides disabled setting
**Solution**:
1. Remove MCP from `settings.json` permissions
2. Remove the entire `permissions` block if empty
3. Restart Claude Code

# MCP Configuration Management
## Overview
This skill helps you properly configure MCP servers in Claude Code. It ensures MCP servers are configured in the right location and scope to avoid unnecessary context pollution across all sessions.
## Critical Concepts
### Two Valid Configuration Locations
**ONLY these two locations are valid for MCP configuration:**
1. **User/Local scope**: `~/.claude.json`
- In the `mcpServers` field (global for all projects)
- Or under specific project paths (project-specific in user config)
2. **Project scope**: `.mcp.json` in your project root
- Checked into source control
- Only affects the current project
### ⚠️ Important Rules
- **DO NOT configure MCPs in `~/.claude.json` global `mcpServers`** - This loads MCPs in ALL sessions and wastes context space
- **DO configure MCPs in project-level `.mcp.json`** - This only loads MCPs when working in that specific project
- **Avoid `settings.json` for MCP control** - The `permissions.allow` field can override disabled settings and cause confusion
## When to Use This Skill
Invoke this skill when:
- Adding a new MCP server to a project
- Removing/disabling an MCP server
- MCP servers are loading when they shouldn't be
- Need to clean up MCP configuration
- Want to understand why an MCP is or isn't loading
## Quick Start
| Task | Example |
|------|---------|
| Add MCP to current project | "添加 pencil MCP 到当前项目" |
| Remove MCP from all projects | "从所有项目中移除 shadcn-studio-mcp" |
| Check MCP configuration | "检查当前的 MCP 配置" |
| Clean up global MCPs | "清理全局 MCP 配置" |
---
## Configuration Workflow
### 1. Check Current MCP Status
First, understand what MCPs are currently loaded:
```bash
# Check user-level configuration
cat ~/.claude.json | grep -A 20 '"mcpServers"' | head -25
# Check project-level configuration
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No project .mcp.json found"
# Check settings.json (should NOT have MCP config)
cat ~/.claude/settings.json | grep -A 5 '"permissions"'
```
### 2. Add MCP to Current Project
**Best Practice**: Always add MCPs at project level
Create or edit `.mcp.json` in your project root:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"server-name": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "package-name"],
"env": {
"API_KEY": "your-key-here"
}
}
}
}
```
### 3. Remove MCP Configuration
**From global config** (`~/.claude.json`):
```python
import json
with open('/Users/likai/.claude.json', 'r') as f:
data = json.load(f)
# Remove from global mcpServers
if 'mcpServers' in data and 'server-name' in data['mcpServers']:
del data['mcpServers']['server-name']
print(f"Removed server-name from global config")
with open('/Users/likai/.claude.json', 'w') as f:
json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
```
**From project config** (`.mcp.json`):
```python
import json
try:
with open('.mcp.json', 'r') as f:
data = json.load(f)
if 'mcpServers' in data and 'server-name' in data['mcpServers']:
del data['mcpServers']['server-name']
with open('.mcp.json', 'w') as f:
json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
print("Removed server-name from project config")
except FileNotFoundError:
print("No .mcp.json found in project")
```
### 4. Clean Up settings.json
Remove any MCP-related permissions that might override configuration:
```python
import json
with open('/Users/likai/.claude/settings.json', 'r') as f:
data = json.load(f)
# Remove permissions block if it contains MCP references
if 'permissions' in data:
if 'allow' in data['permissions']:
data['permissions']['allow'] = [
item for item in data['permissions']['allow']
if not item.startswith('mcp__')
]
if not data['permissions']['allow']:
del data['permissions']
with open('/Users/likai/.claude/settings.json', 'w') as f:
json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
```
---
## Common MCP Servers
### Pencil (Design Tool)
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"pencil": {
"command": "/Users/likai/.vscode/extensions/highagency.pencildev-0.6.29/out/mcp-server-darwin-arm64",
"args": ["--app", "visual_studio_code"],
"env": {},
"type": "stdio"
}
}
}
```
### Shadcn Studio
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"shadcn-studio-mcp": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"shadcn-studio-mcp",
"API_KEY=your-api-key",
"EMAIL=your-email"
],
"env": {}
}
}
}
```
### Unsplash
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"unsplash": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@microlee666/unsplash-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY": "your-access-key"
}
}
}
}
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Problem: MCP loads in all sessions
**Cause**: MCP is configured in `~/.claude.json` global `mcpServers`
**Solution**:
1. Remove from `~/.claude.json` global config
2. Add to project-level `.mcp.json` instead
3. Restart Claude Code session
### Problem: MCP won't disable despite `"disabled": true`
**Cause**: `permissions.allow` in `settings.json` overrides disabled setting
**Solution**:
1. Remove MCP from `settings.json` permissions
2. Remove the entire `permissions` block if empty
3. Restart Claude Code session
### Problem: MCP configuration conflicts
**Cause**: MCP configured in multiple locations with different settings
**Solution**:
1. Check all three locations: `~/.claude.json`, `.mcp.json`, `settings.json`
2. Keep configuration in ONE place only (prefer `.mcp.json`)
3. Remove from other locations
### Problem: Can't find where MCP is configured
**Diagnostic commands**:
```bash
# Search all possible locations
echo "=== Global Config ==="
grep -A 10 '"mcpServers"' ~/.claude.json | head -15
echo "=== Project Config ==="
cat .mcp.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No .mcp.json"
echo "=== Settings ==="
grep -A 5 '"permissions"' ~/.claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No permissions"
echo "=== Project Settings ==="
grep -A 5 '"permissions"' .claude/settings.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No project settings"
```
---
## Best Practices
1. ✅ **Always use project-level `.mcp.json`** for project-specific MCPs
2. ✅ **Keep `~/.claude.json` global `mcpServers` empty** to avoid context pollution
3. ✅ **Avoid MCP configuration in `settings.json`** - use it only for permissions if needed
4. ✅ **Restart Claude Code after configuration changes** to ensure they take effect
5. ✅ **Check into source control** - Commit `.mcp.json` so team members get the same MCPs
6. ❌ **Never use `disabled: true`** - Just remove the MCP configuration entirely
7. ❌ **Don't mix configuration locations** - Pick one place and stick to it
---
## Configuration Priority
When Claude Code loads MCPs, it follows this priority:
1. Project-level `.mcp.json` (highest priority)
2. User-level `~/.claude.json` project-specific config
3. User-level `~/.claude.json` global `mcpServers`
4. `settings.json` permissions can override all of the above
**Recommendation**: Use only project-level `.mcp.json` to avoid confusion.
---
## Example: Complete Cleanup and Reconfiguration
```bash
# 1. Clean up global config
python3 << 'EOF'
import json
with open('/Users/likai/.claude.json', 'r') as f:
data = json.load(f)
data['mcpServers'] = {}
with open('/Users/likai/.claude.json', 'w') as f:
json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
print("✓ Cleaned global mcpServers")
EOF
# 2. Clean up settings.json
python3 << 'EOF'
import json
with open('/Users/likai/.claude/settings.json', 'r') as f:
data = json.load(f)
if 'permissions' in data:
del data['permissions']
with open('/Users/likai/.claude/settings.json', 'w') as f:
json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
print("✓ Cleaned settings.json permissions")
EOF
# 3. Create project-level config
cat > .mcp.json << 'EOF'
{
"mcpServers": {
"your-mcp-name": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "your-command",
"args": [],
"env": {}
}
}
}
EOF
echo "✓ Created project .mcp.json"
# 4. Restart Claude Code
echo "⚠️ Please restart Claude Code for changes to take effect"
```
---
## Summary
- **Two valid locations**: `~/.claude.json` and `.mcp.json`
- **Best practice**: Use project-level `.mcp.json` only
- **Avoid**: Global `mcpServers` in `~/.claude.json` (wastes context)
- **Avoid**: MCP config in `settings.json` (causes conflicts)
- **Always restart** Claude Code after configuration changes

# VSCode httpYac Configuration
## About This Skill
Transform API documentation into executable, testable .http files with httpYac. This skill provides workflow guidance for creating production-ready API collections with scripting, authentication, environment management, and CI/CD integration.
### When to Use This Skill
- **API Documentation → Executable Files**: Converting API specs (Swagger, Postman, docs) to httpYac format
- **Authentication Implementation**: Setting up OAuth2, Bearer tokens, or complex auth flows
- **Large Collections**: Organizing 10+ endpoints with multi-file structure
- **Request Chaining**: Passing data between requests (login → use token → create → update)
- **Environment Management**: Dev/test/production environment switching
- **Team Workflows**: Git-based collaboration with secure credential handling
- **CI/CD Integration**: Automated testing in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.
### Expected Outcomes
- ✅ Working .http files with correct httpYac syntax
- ✅ Environment-based configuration (.env files, .httpyac.json)
- ✅ Secure credential management (no secrets in git)
- ✅ Request chaining and response validation
- ✅ Team-ready structure with documentation
- ✅ CI/CD pipeline integration (optional)
---
## Core Workflow
### Phase 1: Discovery and Planning
**Objective**: Understand API structure and propose file organization.
**Key Questions:**
1. How many endpoints? (< 20 = single file, 20+ = multi-file)
2. Authentication method? (Bearer, OAuth2, API Key, Basic Auth)
3. Environments needed? (dev, test, staging, production)
4. Existing docs? (Swagger, Postman collection, documentation URL)
**Propose Structure to User:**
```
Identified API modules:
- Authentication (2 endpoints)
- Users (5 endpoints)
- Articles (3 endpoints)
Recommended: Multi-file structure
- auth.http
- users.http
- articles.http
Proceed with this structure?
```
**📖 Detailed Guide**: `references/WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md`
---
### Phase 2: Template-Based File Creation
**🚨 MANDATORY: Always start with templates from `assets/` directory.**
**Template Usage Sequence:**
1. Read `assets/http-file.template`
2. Copy structure to target file
3. Replace {{PLACEHOLDER}} variables
4. Add API-specific requests
5. Verify syntax against `references/SYNTAX.md`
**Available Templates:**
- `assets/http-file.template` → Complete .http file structure
- `assets/httpyac-config.template` → Configuration file
- `assets/env.template` → Environment variables
**Key Files to Create:**
- `.http` files → API requests
- `.env` → Environment variables (gitignored)
- `.env.example` → Template with placeholders (committed)
- `.httpyac.json` → Configuration (optional)
**📖 File Structure Guide**: `references/WORKFLOW_GUIDE.md#phase-2`
---
### Phase 3: Implement Authentication
**Select Pattern Based on API Type:**
| API Type | Pattern | Reference Location |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Static token | Simple Bearer | `references/AUTHENTICATION_PATTERNS.md#pattern-1` |
| OAuth2 credentials | Auto-fetch token | `references/AUTHENTICATION_PATTERNS.md#pattern-2` |
| Token refresh | Auto-refresh | `references/AUTHENTICATION_PATTERNS.md#pattern-3` |
| API Key | Header or query | `references/AUTHENTICATION_PATTERNS.md#pattern-5-6` |
**Quick Example:**
```http
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
Content-Type: application/json
{
"email": "{{user}}",
"password": "{{password}}"
}
{{
// Store token for subsequent requests
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
console.log('✓ Token obtained');
}
}}
###
# Use token in protected request
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
**📖 Complete Patterns**: `references/AUTHENTICATION_PATTERNS.md`
**Search Pattern**: `grep -n "Pattern [0-9]:" references/AUTHENTICATION_PATTERNS.md`
---
## ⚠️ CRITICAL SYNTAX RULES
### 🎯 Variable Management (Most Common Mistake)
**1. Environment Variables** (from .env file)
```http
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@token = {{API_TOKEN}}
```
✅ Use `@variable = {{ENV_VAR}}` syntax at file top
**2. Utility Functions** (in script blocks)
```http
{{
// ✅ CORRECT: Export with exports.
exports.validateResponse = function(response, actionName) {
return response.statusCode === 200;
};
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/test
{{
// ✅ CORRECT: Call WITHOUT exports.
if (validateResponse(response, 'Test')) {
console.log('Success');
}
}}
```
**3. Response Data** (post-response only)
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
// ✅ Store for next request
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.id;
}}
```
### ❌ FORBIDDEN
```http
{{
// ❌ WRONG: Don't use exports/process.env for env vars
exports.baseUrl = process.env.API_BASE_URL; // NO!
// ❌ WRONG: Don't use exports when calling
if (exports.validateResponse(response)) { } // NO!
}}
```
### 🔍 Post-Creation Checklist
- [ ] Template used as base
- [ ] `###` delimiter between requests
- [ ] Variables: `@variable = {{ENV_VAR}}`
- [ ] Functions exported: `exports.func = function() {}`
- [ ] Functions called without exports
- [ ] `.env.example` created
- [ ] No secrets in .http files

## Format Optimization for httpbook UI
### Clean, Scannable Structure
```http
# ============================================================
# Article Endpoints - API Name
# ============================================================
# V1-Basic | V2-Metadata | V3-Full Content⭐
# Docs: https://api.example.com/docs
# ============================================================
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
### Get Articles V3 ⭐
# @name getArticlesV3
# @description Full content + Base64 HTML | Requires auth | Auto-decode
GET {{baseUrl}}/articles?page=1
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
### Format Guidelines
**DO:**
- ✅ Use 60-character separators: `# =============`
- ✅ Inline descriptions with `|`: `Detail 1 | Detail 2`
- ✅ `@description` for hover details
- ✅ Emoji for visual cues: ⭐⚠️📄
**DON'T:**
- ❌ 80+ character separators
- ❌ HTML comments `` (visible in UI)
- ❌ Multi-line documentation blocks
- ❌ Excessive `###` decorations
**📖 Complete Guide**: See SKILL.md Phase 3.5 for before/after examples
---
## Security Configuration
### Essential .gitignore
```gitignore
# httpYac: Protect secrets
.env
.env.local
.env.*.local
.env.production
# httpYac: Ignore cache
.httpyac.cache
*.httpyac.cache
httpyac-output/
```
### Security Rules
**ALWAYS:**
- ✅ Environment variables for secrets
- ✅ `.env` in .gitignore
- ✅ `.env.example` without real secrets
- ✅ Truncate tokens in logs: `token.substring(0, 10) + '...'`
**NEVER:**
- ❌ Hardcode credentials in .http files
- ❌ Commit .env files
- ❌ Log full tokens/secrets
- ❌ Disable SSL in production
**📖 Complete Guide**: `references/SECURITY.md`
**Search Pattern**: `grep -n "gitignore\|secrets" references/SECURITY.md`
---
## Reference Materials Loading Guide
**Load references when:**

## Implementation Notes
**Before Generating Files:**
- Confirm structure with user
- Validate API docs completeness
- Verify authentication requirements
**While Generating:**
- Always use templates from `assets/`
- Validate syntax before writing
- Include authentication where needed
- Add assertions for critical endpoints
**After Generation:**
- Show created structure to user
- Test at least one request
- Highlight next steps (credentials, testing)
- Offer to add more endpoints
**Common User Requests:**
- "Add authentication" → Load `references/AUTHENTICATION_PATTERNS.md` → Choose pattern
- "Not working" → Check: variables defined, `{{ }}` syntax, .env loaded
- "Chain requests" → Use `# @name` and `exports` variables
- "Add tests" → Add `{{ }}` block with assertions
- "CI/CD setup" → Load `references/CLI_CICD.md` → Provide examples

# Environment Variables:
# - Define in .env file: API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
# - Access with: $processEnv.VARIABLE_NAME
#
# Scripts:
# - Pre-request: {{ }} before request line
# - Post-response: {{ }} after request
# - Use exports.var to make variables global
# - Use console.log() for debugging
#
# Testing:
# - Use test() function for assertions
# - Use Chai's expect() for validation
# - Run all tests: httpyac send file.http --all

Cookie: session_id={{sessionId}}; user_pref=dark_mode
```
### Auto-Manage Cookies (Cookie Jar)
**Enable in .httpyac.json:**
```json
{
"cookieJarEnabled": true
}
```
**Cookies automatically stored and sent:**
```http
# Step 1: Login (receives Set-Cookie header)
POST {{baseUrl}}/login
Content-Type: application/json
{
"email": "user@example.com",
"password": "password123"
}
{{
// Cookies automatically stored
console.log('✓ Login successful, cookies stored');
}}
###
# Step 2: Subsequent requests use stored cookies automatically
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/profile
# Cookies sent automatically - no need to specify
```
### Manual Cookie Access
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
{{
// Access response cookies
const cookies = response.headers['set-cookie'];
if (cookies) {
cookies.forEach(cookie => {
console.log('🍪 Cookie:', cookie);
// Parse specific cookie
if (cookie.startsWith('session_id=')) {
exports.sessionId = cookie.split(';')[0].split('=')[1];
}
});
}
}}
```

## Request/Response Hooks
### Global Hooks (httpyac.config.js)
```javascript
module.exports = {
hooks: {
// Before request is sent
onRequest: (request) => {
console.log("🚀 Sending:", request.method, request.url);
// Add custom headers to all requests
request.headers["X-App-Version"] = "1.0.0";
request.headers["X-Request-Time"] = new Date().toISOString();
return request;
},
// After response is received
onResponse: (response) => {
console.log("📥 Received:", response.statusCode, response.duration + "ms");
// Log rate limit headers
if (response.headers["x-ratelimit-remaining"]) {
console.log("⏱️ Rate limit:", response.headers["x-ratelimit-remaining"], "remaining");
}
return response;
},
// On request error
onError: (error) => {
console.error("✗ Request failed:", error.message);
return error;
},
},
};
```
### Per-Request Middleware
```http
{{
// Pre-request middleware
exports.addRequestHeaders = function(request) {
request.headers['X-Custom-Header'] = 'custom-value';
request.headers['X-Timestamp'] = Date.now().toString();
return request;
};
exports.processResponse = function(response) {
// Custom response processing
if (response.statusCode === 429) {
const retryAfter = response.headers['retry-after'];
console.warn('⚠️ Rate limited, retry after', retryAfter, 'seconds');
}
return response;
};
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
{{
// Apply middleware
const processedRequest = addRequestHeaders(request);
const processedResponse = processResponse(response);
}}
```
---
## Performance Monitoring
### Request Timing
```http
{{
exports.startTime = Date.now();
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/large-dataset
{{
const endTime = Date.now();
const duration = endTime - startTime;
console.log('⏱️ Request duration:', duration, 'ms');
console.log('📦 Response size:', response.body.length, 'bytes');
console.log('🚀 Transfer rate:', (response.body.length / duration * 1000 / 1024).toFixed(2), 'KB/s');
// Store metrics
exports.lastRequestDuration = duration;
exports.lastResponseSize = response.body.length;
}}
```
### Performance Assertions
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
?? status == 200
?? duration < 2000 # Response in less than 2 seconds
?? js response.body.length < 1048576 # Less than 1MB
{{
if (response.duration > 1000) {
console.warn('⚠️ Slow response:', response.duration, 'ms');
}
}}
```
---
## Batch Operations
### Parallel Requests
```http
# Request 1
# @name getUsers
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
###
# Request 2
# @name getArticles
GET {{baseUrl}}/articles
###
# Request 3
# @name getComments
GET {{baseUrl}}/comments
###
# Aggregate results
# @name aggregateData
GET {{baseUrl}}/noop
{{
console.log('📊 Aggregated data:');
console.log(' Users:', getUsers.response.parsedBody.length);
console.log(' Articles:', getArticles.response.parsedBody.length);
console.log(' Comments:', getComments.response.parsedBody.length);
}}
```
### Loop Requests (Script-Based)
```http
{{
const userIds = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const axios = require('axios');
const results = [];
for (const userId of userIds) {
const response = await axios.get(`${baseUrl}/users/${userId}`, {
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${accessToken}` }
});
results.push(response.data);
console.log('✓ Fetched user:', userId);
}
exports.allUsers = results;
console.log('📊 Total users fetched:', results.length);
}}
```
### @loop Directive (Metadata-Based)
The `@loop` directive repeats the same HTTP request multiple times. **Critical**: Variable persistence differs from script-based loops.
#### Basic Usage
```http
# @loop for 3
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data?page={{$index + 1}}
{{
console.log(`Page ${$index + 1} fetched`);
}}
```
#### ⚠️ Variable Persistence in @loop
**CRITICAL ISSUE**: `exports` object is **reset on each iteration** in `@loop` context!
```http
# ❌ WRONG: exports is reset each iteration
# @loop for 3
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles?page={{$index + 1}}
{{
exports.articles = exports.articles || [];
exports.articles.push(...response.parsedBody.data);
console.log(`Accumulated: ${exports.articles.length}`);
// Output: 5, 5, 5 (NOT 5, 10, 15) ❌
}}
```
**Solution**: Use `$global` object (httpYac's persistent global object) for persistent state across iterations:
```http
# ✅ CORRECT: $global persists across iterations
# @loop for 3
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles?page={{$index + 1}}
{{
// Initialize once
if (typeof $global.articles === 'undefined') {
$global.articles = [];
}
// Accumulate data
$global.articles.push(...response.parsedBody.data);
console.log(`Accumulated: ${$global.articles.length}`);
// Output: 5, 10, 15 ✅
// Save to exports on last iteration
if ($index === 2) { // for @loop for 3
exports.articles = $global.articles;
}
}}
```
#### Variable Scope Summary
| Variable Type | Persistence in @loop | Use Case |
| ------------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `exports.*` | ❌ Reset each iteration | NOT suitable for accumulation |
| `$global.*` | ✅ Persists across iterations | Accumulating data across loop |
| `const/let` | ❌ Local to script block | Temporary calculations |
| `$index` | ✅ Built-in loop counter | Accessing iteration number |
#### Pre-Request Scripts in @loop
Use `{{@request}}` for pre-request initialization:
```http
# @loop for 3
{{@request
// Runs BEFORE each HTTP request
console.log(`Preparing request ${$index + 1}`);
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data?page={{$index + 1}}
{{
// Runs AFTER receiving response
console.log(`Received response ${$index + 1}`);
}}
```
**Note**: Combining `{{@request}}` with `@loop` may cause compatibility issues in some httpYac versions. Prefer `$global` variables when possible.
#### Best Practices
1. **Use `$global` for accumulation**: Never rely on `exports` to persist data across loop iterations
2. **Initialize on first iteration**: Check `$index === 0` or `typeof $global.var === 'undefined'`
3. **Export on last iteration**: Save `$global.*` to `exports.*` when `$index === (loopCount - 1)`
4. **Avoid hardcoded indices**: If using `$index` checks, document the loop count dependency
```http
# Best practice example
# @loop for 5
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/page/{{$index + 1}}
{{
// Initialize once using $global
if (typeof $global.allData === 'undefined') {
$global.allData = [];
}
if (validateResponse(response, `Page ${$index + 1}`)) {
const pageData = response.parsedBody.items;
$global.allData.push(...pageData);
// Real-time progress
console.log(`Page ${$index + 1}: ${pageData.length} items | Total: ${$global.allData.length}`);
// Rate limiting
await sleep(100);
}
// Export on last iteration (adjust for loop count)
if ($index === 4) { // Note: 4 for @loop for 5
exports.allData = $global.allData;
console.log(`✓ Complete: ${exports.allData.length} total items`);
}
}}
```
---
## Data Transformation
### JSON Manipulation
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/users
{{
const users = response.parsedBody.data;
// Transform data
const transformed = users.map(user => ({
id: user.id,
fullName: `${user.first_name} ${user.last_name}`,
emailDomain: user.email.split('@')[1],
isActive: user.status === 'active'
}));
// Filter data
const activeUsers = transformed.filter(u => u.isActive);
// Sort data
const sorted = activeUsers.sort((a, b) =>
a.fullName.localeCompare(b.fullName)
);
exports.processedUsers = sorted;
console.log('✓ Processed', sorted.length, 'active users');
}}
```
### XML/HTML Parsing
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/rss-feed
Accept: application/xml
{{
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const $ = cheerio.load(response.body);
// Parse XML/HTML
const articles = [];
$('item').each((i, elem) => {
articles.push({
title: $(elem).find('title').text(),
link: $(elem).find('link').text(),
pubDate: $(elem).find('pubDate').text()
});
});
exports.rssArticles = articles;
console.log('✓ Parsed', articles.length, 'articles from RSS feed');
}}
```
### CSV Parsing
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/export/users.csv
Accept: text/csv
{{
const parse = require('csv-parse/sync');
// Parse CSV
const records = parse.parse(response.body, {
columns: true,
skip_empty_lines: true
});
exports.csvUsers = records;
console.log('✓ Parsed', records.length, 'records from CSV');
console.log('📄 Sample:', records[0]);
}}
```
---
## Retry Logic
### Simple Retry
```http
{{
const axios = require('axios');
const maxRetries = 3;
let attempt = 0;
let success = false;
while (attempt < maxRetries && !success) {
attempt++;
console.log(`🔄 Attempt ${attempt}/${maxRetries}...`);
try {
const response = await axios.get(`${baseUrl}/api/unstable`);
if (response.status === 200) {
success = true;
exports.data = response.data;
console.log('✓ Request successful on attempt', attempt);
}
} catch (error) {
console.warn(`⚠️ Attempt ${attempt} failed:`, error.message);
if (attempt < maxRetries) {
// Exponential backoff
const delay = Math.pow(2, attempt) * 1000;
console.log(`⏳ Waiting ${delay}ms before retry...`);
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
}
}
}
if (!success) {
console.error('✗ All retry attempts failed');
}
}}
```
### Conditional Retry
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
{{
if (response.statusCode === 429) { // Rate limited
const retryAfter = parseInt(response.headers['retry-after']) || 60;
console.warn(`⚠️ Rate limited, retry after ${retryAfter} seconds`);
// Store retry info
exports.shouldRetry = true;
exports.retryAfter = retryAfter;
} else if (response.statusCode >= 500) { // Server error
console.error('✗ Server error, retry recommended');
exports.shouldRetry = true;
exports.retryAfter = 5; // Retry after 5 seconds
} else {
exports.shouldRetry = false;
}
}}
```
---
## Advanced Authentication
### PKCE OAuth2 Flow
```http
{{
const crypto = require('crypto');
// Generate code verifier and challenge for PKCE
function generatePKCE() {
const verifier = crypto.randomBytes(32).toString('base64url');
const challenge = crypto
.createHash('sha256')
.update(verifier)
.digest('base64url');
return { verifier, challenge };
}
const pkce = generatePKCE();
exports.codeVerifier = pkce.verifier;
exports.codeChallenge = pkce.challenge;
console.log('✓ PKCE generated');
console.log(' Verifier:', exports.codeVerifier.substring(0, 10) + '...');
console.log(' Challenge:', exports.codeChallenge.substring(0, 10) + '...');
}}
###
# Step 1: Authorization request
# Open this URL in browser:
# {{authUrl}}/authorize?client_id={{clientId}}&redirect_uri={{redirectUri}}&response_type=code&code_challenge={{codeChallenge}}&code_challenge_method=S256
###
# Step 2: Exchange code for token (with PKCE)
POST {{authUrl}}/token
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
grant_type=authorization_code
&code={{authCode}}
&client_id={{clientId}}
&redirect_uri={{redirectUri}}
&code_verifier={{codeVerifier}}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
console.log('✓ Token obtained with PKCE');
}
}}
```

| **AMQP** | Advanced Message Queue | RabbitMQ integration |
### Quick Reference
**REST API (this skill's focus):**
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/users
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
```
**GraphQL (covered in this skill):**
```graphql
query GetUsers {
users {
id
name
email
}
}
```
**Other protocols (consult official docs):**

FILE: plugins/vscode-extensions-toolkit/skills/vscode-httpyac-config/references/AUTHENTICATION_PATTERNS.md
================================================
# Authentication Patterns for httpYac (CORRECTED)
Complete authentication implementations for common patterns in httpYac .http files.
## ⚠️ CRITICAL: httpYac Authentication Philosophy
httpYac uses **request references (`@name`, `@ref`, `@forceRef`)** instead of sending HTTP requests in scripts.
**✅ CORRECT:**
- Use `# @name` to name authentication requests
- Use `# @ref` or `# @forceRef` to reference them
- Access response data via `{{requestName.response.parsedBody.field}}`
**❌ WRONG:**
- Do NOT use `require('axios')` or `require('got')` in scripts
- These are NOT available or should NOT be used directly
---
## Pattern 1: Simple Bearer Token
**Use when:** API provides a static token or pre-generated token.
```http
# Define token in variables
@accessToken = {{API_TOKEN}}
###
# Use in requests
GET {{baseUrl}}/protected/resource
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
**Key points:**
- Token loaded from environment variable
- No expiry handling
- Suitable for development/testing
---
## Pattern 2: Auto-Fetch Token (Recommended) ⭐
**Use when:** API uses OAuth2 client credentials or password grant.
```http
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/oauth/token
Content-Type: application/json
{
"grant_type": "client_credentials",
"client_id": "{{clientId}}",
"client_secret": "{{clientSecret}}"
}
{{
// Store token for subsequent requests
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
exports.refreshToken = response.parsedBody.refresh_token;
exports.expiresAt = Date.now() + (response.parsedBody.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Token obtained:', exports.accessToken.substring(0, 20) + '...');
} else {
console.error('✗ Login failed:', response.statusCode);
}
}}
###
# Use token in authenticated requests
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
console.log('✓ Data retrieved successfully');
} else if (response.statusCode === 401) {
console.error('✗ Token expired or invalid');
}
}}
```
**Key points:**
- Token fetched automatically from named request
- Response data stored in `exports` for request chaining
- Error handling for failed authentication
- Token expiry tracked for refresh logic
---
## Pattern 3: Token Refresh with Request Reference ⭐
**Use when:** API provides refresh tokens and tokens expire frequently.
```http
# Variables
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@clientId = {{CLIENT_ID}}
@clientSecret = {{CLIENT_SECRET}}
###
# Initial login
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/oauth/token
Content-Type: application/json
{
"grant_type": "password",
"username": "{{username}}",
"password": "{{password}}",
"client_id": "{{clientId}}",
"client_secret": "{{clientSecret}}"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
exports.refreshToken = response.parsedBody.refresh_token;
exports.expiresAt = Date.now() + (response.parsedBody.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Initial login successful');
}
}}
###
# Token refresh request
# @name refresh
POST {{baseUrl}}/oauth/token
Content-Type: application/json
{
"grant_type": "refresh_token",
"refresh_token": "{{refreshToken}}",
"client_id": "{{clientId}}",
"client_secret": "{{clientSecret}}"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
exports.refreshToken = response.parsedBody.refresh_token;
exports.expiresAt = Date.now() + (response.parsedBody.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Token refreshed');
}
}}
###
# Protected request - references login/refresh as needed
# @forceRef login
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/protected-data
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
{{
console.log('✓ Retrieved protected data');
}}
```
**Key points:**
- Separate requests for login and refresh
- Use `@forceRef` to ensure authentication runs first
- Manually call refresh request when needed
- No external HTTP libraries required
---
## Pattern 4: Cross-File Token Import ⭐
**Use when:** Multiple API files need the same authentication.
**File: auth.http**
```http
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
###
# @name auth
POST {{baseUrl}}/oauth/token
Content-Type: application/json
{
"grant_type": "client_credentials",
"client_id": "{{clientId}}",
"client_secret": "{{clientSecret}}"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
console.log('✓ Token obtained');
}
}}
```
**File: users.http**
```http
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
# Import authentication from another file
# @import ./auth.http
###
# This request will automatically run auth first
# @forceRef auth
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{auth.response.parsedBody.access_token}}
```
**Key points:**
- `# @import` loads external .http file
- `# @forceRef` ensures auth runs before this request
- Access token via `{{auth.response.parsedBody.access_token}}`
- Clean separation of concerns
---
## Pattern 5: API Key (Header)
**Use when:** API uses API key in custom header.
```http
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@apiKey = {{API_KEY}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
X-API-Key: {{apiKey}}
{{
console.log('✓ Request sent with API key');
}}
```
---
## Pattern 6: API Key (Query Parameter)
**Use when:** API requires API key in URL query string.
```http
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@apiKey = {{API_KEY}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data?api_key={{apiKey}}
###
# Alternative: Multiple parameters
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data?api_key={{apiKey}}&format=json&limit=10
```
---
## Pattern 7: Basic Auth
**Use when:** API uses HTTP Basic Authentication (username + password).
```http
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@username = {{API_USERNAME}}
@password = {{API_PASSWORD}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Authorization: Basic {{username}}:{{password}}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
console.log('✓ Basic auth successful');
} else if (response.statusCode === 401) {
console.error('✗ Invalid credentials');
}
}}
```
---
## Pattern Selection Guide
| API Type | Pattern | Use Case |
|----------|---------|----------|
| Static token | Pattern 1 | Development, testing |
| OAuth2 client credentials | Pattern 2 | Machine-to-machine |
| OAuth2 with refresh | Pattern 3 | Long-running sessions |
| Cross-file auth | Pattern 4 | Multiple API modules |
| API key (header) | Pattern 5 | Public APIs, webhooks |
| API key (query) | Pattern 6 | Public APIs (less secure) |
| Basic Auth | Pattern 7 | Legacy APIs |
---
## Common Mistakes
### ❌ WRONG: Using axios/got in Scripts
```http
{{
const axios = require('axios'); // ❌ NOT AVAILABLE
const response = await axios.post(...);
}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT: Using Request References
```http
# @name auth
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
{ ... }
###
# @forceRef auth
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Authorization: Bearer {{auth.response.parsedBody.token}}
```

COPY tests/ ./tests/
COPY .env.example ./.env
# Set environment variables
ENV API_BASE_URL=http://api.example.com
ENV NODE_ENV=production
# Run tests
CMD ["httpyac", "send", "tests/*.http", "--all"]
```
### Docker Compose
```yaml
version: '3.8'
services:
api-tests:
build: .
environment:
- API_BASE_URL=${API_BASE_URL}
- API_TOKEN=${API_TOKEN}
volumes:
- ./tests:/app/tests:ro
- ./results:/app/results
command: >
sh -c "httpyac send tests/*.http --all --output results/output.json"
```
### Run Tests in Docker
```bash
# Build image
docker build -t api-tests .
# Run tests
docker run --rm \
-e API_BASE_URL=http://api.example.com \
-e API_TOKEN=your_token \
-v $(pwd)/results:/app/results \
api-tests
# With docker-compose
docker-compose run --rm api-tests
```
---
## Advanced CLI Features
### Parallel Execution
```bash
# Run multiple files in parallel (use GNU parallel or xargs)
find tests -name '*.http' | xargs -P 4 -I {} httpyac send {}
# GNU parallel
parallel httpyac send ::: tests/*.http
```
### Conditional Execution
```bash
# Run tests and capture exit code
if httpyac send tests/critical.http --all; then
echo "✓ Critical tests passed, running full suite"
httpyac send tests/*.http --all
else
echo "✗ Critical tests failed, aborting"
exit 1
fi
```
### Custom Reporting
```bash
# Generate custom report
httpyac send tests/*.http --all --output-format json --output results.json
# Parse results with jq
jq '.requests[] | {name: .name, status: .response.statusCode, duration: .response.duration}' results.json
# Generate HTML report
cat results.json | jq -r '
"
API Test Results
" +
"
" +
"
Request
Status
Duration
" +
(.requests[] |
"
\(.name)
\(.response.statusCode)
\(.response.duration)ms
"
) +
"
"
' > report.html
```
### Monitoring Integration
```bash
# Send metrics to monitoring system
httpyac send tests/*.http --all --output-format json --output results.json
# Extract metrics and send to monitoring
TOTAL=$(jq '.requests | length' results.json)
FAILED=$(jq '[.requests[] | select(.response.statusCode >= 400)] | length' results.json)
AVG_DURATION=$(jq '[.requests[].response.duration] | add / length' results.json)
# Send to monitoring service (e.g., Datadog, Prometheus)
curl -X POST https://monitoring.example.com/metrics \
-d "api.tests.total=$TOTAL" \
-d "api.tests.failed=$FAILED" \
-d "api.tests.avg_duration=$AVG_DURATION"
```
---
## Troubleshooting CLI
### Common Issues
**Issue: Command not found**
```bash
# Verify installation
which httpyac
npm list -g httpyac
# Reinstall
npm install -g httpyac
```
**Issue: Environment variables not loaded**
```bash
# Debug variable loading
httpyac send api.http --verbose
# Explicitly set variables
export API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
httpyac send api.http
# Use --var flag
httpyac send api.http --var API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
```
**Issue: Permission denied**
```bash
# Fix permissions
chmod +x api.http
# Use sudo for global install (not recommended)
sudo npm install -g httpyac
```
---
## Best Practices
### CI/CD Configuration
1. **Use secrets management** - Store credentials in CI/CD secrets, not in code
2. **Fail fast** - Run critical tests first, abort on failure
3. **Parallel execution** - Run independent test suites in parallel
4. **Retry flaky tests** - Implement retry logic for network issues
5. **Cache dependencies** - Cache Node.js modules for faster builds
6. **Artifact storage** - Save test results for debugging
### Test Organization
```
tests/
├── critical/ # Must-pass tests
│ ├── auth.http
│ └── health.http
├── integration/ # Full workflow tests
│ ├── user-flow.http
│ └── order-flow.http
├── regression/ # Edge cases
│ └── edge-cases.http
└── .httpyac.json # Shared configuration
```
### Script Integration
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# run-api-tests.sh
set -e # Exit on error
echo "🚀 Starting API tests..."
# Load environment
source .env
# Run critical tests first
echo "⚡ Running critical tests..."
if ! httpyac send tests/critical/*.http --all; then
echo "✗ Critical tests failed, aborting"
exit 1
fi
# Run full test suite
echo "🧪 Running full test suite..."
httpyac send tests/**/*.http --all --output results.json
# Generate report
echo "📊 Generating report..."
node scripts/generate-report.js results.json
echo "✓ All tests completed"
```

================================================
# Common httpYac Mistakes
Critical errors to avoid when creating .http files.
## 1. Missing Request Separator
### ❌ WRONG
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
GET {{baseUrl}}/orders
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/orders
```
**Error:** Requests run together, second request ignored
**Fix:** Always use `###` between requests
---
## 2. Using require() for External Modules (CRITICAL)
### ❌ WRONG - require() Not Supported
```http
{{
// ❌ WILL FAIL in most httpYac environments
const got = require('got');
const axios = require('axios');
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
// These external HTTP libraries are NOT available:
// - In VSCode httpYac extension (browser-based runtime)
// - In httpYac CLI (sandboxed environment)
// - In CI/CD runners (minimal Node.js installation)
const response = await axios.get('https://api.example.com');
exports.data = response.data;
}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT - Use @import and @forceRef
```http
# auth.http - Define authentication once
# @name auth
POST {{baseUrl}}/token
Content-Type: application/json
{
"client_id": "{{clientId}}",
"client_secret": "{{clientSecret}}"
}
{{
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
console.log('✓ Token obtained');
}}
###
# users.http - Import and reference
# @import ./auth.http
# @name getUsers
# @forceRef auth
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
**Why this matters:**
- httpYac runtime does **NOT support Node.js require()** in most environments
- Use `@import` for cross-file dependencies
- Use `@forceRef` to ensure requests run in order
- Use `exports` for sharing data between requests
**Real-world error you'll encounter:**
```
ReferenceError: require is not defined
at Object. (/path/to/file.http:5:16)
at Script.runInContext (node:vm:144:12)
```
**What IS supported (environment-dependent):**
```http
{{
// ✅ Built-in Node.js modules MAY work
const crypto = require('crypto'); // Usually works
const fs = require('fs'); // May work in CLI only
// ✅ httpYac provides these globally (no require needed)
// - String manipulation: normal JavaScript
// - Date functions: Date() object
// - JSON: JSON.parse() / JSON.stringify()
}}
```
**Decision Guide:**
| Need | Solution | Don't Use |
|------|----------|-----------|
| Make HTTP request | `@name` + `@forceRef` | `require('axios')` |
| Share access token | `exports` + `@import` | Separate function with `require('got')` |
| Hash/encrypt data | `crypto` (built-in) | `require('bcrypt')` |
| Date manipulation | `Date()` + exports function | `require('moment')` |
| Generate UUID | Write own or use timestamp | `require('uuid')` |
**Complete example - WeChat API pattern:**
```http
# 01-auth.http
# @name auth
POST {{baseUrl}}/token?grant_type=client_credentials&appid={{appId}}&secret={{appSecret}}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
exports.tokenExpiresAt = Date.now() + (response.parsedBody.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Token obtained:', exports.accessToken.substring(0, 20) + '...');
}
}}
###
# 02-user.http
# @import ./01-auth.http
# @name getUserList
# @forceRef auth
GET {{baseUrl}}/cgi-bin/user/get?access_token={{accessToken}}&next_openid=
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
console.log('✓ User list retrieved:', response.parsedBody.total);
}
}}
```
---
## 3. Wrong Script Delimiters
### ❌ WRONG
```http
console.log('This will not work');
?>
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
??
console.log('This will not work either');
??
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
{{
// Pre-request script (before request line)
console.log('Pre-request script');
exports.timestamp = Date.now();
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
// Post-response script (after request)
console.log('Post-response script');
console.log('Status:', response.statusCode);
}}
```
**Error:** Scripts not executing, treated as request body
**Fix:** Use `{{ }}` for all scripts. Position determines when it runs (before or after request)
---
## 4. Variable Used Before Declaration
### ❌ WRONG
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
baseUrl = "http://localhost:3000";
}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
{{
baseUrl = "http://localhost:3000";
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
```
**Error:** "Variable baseUrl not defined"
**Fix:** Declare variables at top of file or before first usage
---
## 5. Mixing Variable Syntax Styles
### ❌ WRONG
```http
@baseUrl = http://localhost:3000
{{
token = "abc123";
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT (Option A)
```http
@baseUrl = http://localhost:3000
@token = abc123
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT (Option B)
```http
{{
baseUrl = "http://localhost:3000";
token = "abc123";
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
```
**Error:** Inconsistent variable resolution
**Fix:** Choose one style and stick to it throughout the file
---
## 6. Using Local Variable Instead of Global
### ❌ WRONG
```http
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
{{
// Local variable - lost after this request
const accessToken = response.parsedBody.token;
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/protected
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}} // accessToken is undefined!
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
{{
// Export to make it global - persists across requests
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.token;
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/protected
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}} // Works!
```
**Error:** Variable not available in next request
**Fix:** Use `exports.variableName` to make variables available globally
---
## 6.5. Pre-Request Variable Scope (Template Access)
### ❌ WRONG - Local Variable in Pre-Request
```http
{{
// ❌ Local variable - NOT accessible in request template
const dates = getDateRange(7);
}}
POST {{baseUrl}}/analytics
Content-Type: application/json
{
"begin_date": "{{dates.begin_date}}", // ❌ undefined!
"end_date": "{{dates.end_date}}" // ❌ undefined!
}
```
### ✅ CORRECT - Export Variable in Pre-Request
```http
{{
// Define helper function once (file-level)
exports.getDateRange = function(days) {
const end = new Date();
end.setDate(end.getDate() - 1); // End at yesterday (data delay)
const start = new Date(end);
start.setDate(start.getDate() - days + 1);
const formatDate = (d) => d.toISOString().split('T')[0];
return {
begin_date: formatDate(start),
end_date: formatDate(end)
};
};
}}
###
# @name analytics7days
{{
// ✅ Export before request - accessible in template
exports.dates = getDateRange(7);
}}
POST {{baseUrl}}/analytics
Content-Type: application/json
{
"begin_date": "{{dates.begin_date}}", // ✅ Works!
"end_date": "{{dates.end_date}}" // ✅ Works!
}
###
# @name analytics3days
{{
// Different parameter for different request
exports.dates = getDateRange(3); // 3 days
}}
POST {{baseUrl}}/analytics
Content-Type: application/json
{
"begin_date": "{{dates.begin_date}}", // ✅ Works with 3-day range!
"end_date": "{{dates.end_date}}"
}
```
**Key Principle:**
- **Pre-request scripts**: Use `exports.var` to make variables accessible in the **SAME request template**
- **Post-response scripts**: Use `exports.var` to make variables accessible in **SUBSEQUENT requests**
**Variable Scope Flow:**
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ File-level script │
│ exports.getDateRange = function() {...} │
│ → Callable in all requests in this file │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Request 1 - Pre-request script │
│ exports.dates = getDateRange(7) │
│ → Accessible in Request 1 template: {{dates.begin_date}} │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Request 1 - Execution │
│ POST /api │
│ { "begin_date": "{{dates.begin_date}}" } │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Request 1 - Post-response script │
│ exports.token = response.parsedBody.access_token │
│ → Accessible in Request 2+ templates: {{token}} │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
↓
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Request 2 - Pre-request script │
│ Can use: {{token}} (from Request 1 post-response) │
│ Can use: {{dates}} (if set in this request's pre-script) │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Common Mistake - Trying to use const:**
```http
{{
const apiKey = "abc123"; // ❌ NOT accessible in template
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/data?key={{apiKey}} // ❌ apiKey is undefined
```
**Fix:**
```http
{{
exports.apiKey = "abc123"; // ✅ Accessible in template
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/data?key={{apiKey}} // ✅ Works!
```
**Error:** Variable undefined in template
**Fix:** Use `exports.variableName` in pre-request script for template access
---
## 7. Forgetting Request Name for Chaining
### ❌ WRONG
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.id;
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
```
**This works but is harder to reference**
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
# @name createUser
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.id;
}}
###
# @name getUser
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
```
**Error:** Difficult to reference specific requests
**Fix:** Always name requests with `# @name`
---
## 8. Incorrect Environment Variable Access
### ❌ WRONG
```http
{{
baseUrl = process.env.API_BASE_URL; // Wrong
token = process.env.API_TOKEN; // Wrong
}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
{{
baseUrl = $processEnv.API_BASE_URL; // Correct
token = $processEnv.API_TOKEN; // Correct
}}
```
**Error:** "process is not defined"
**Fix:** Use `$processEnv.VAR_NAME` to access environment variables
---
## 9. Missing Content-Type for JSON
### ❌ WRONG
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
{
"name": "John Doe"
}
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "John Doe"
}
```
**Error:** Server may not parse JSON correctly
**Fix:** Always include `Content-Type: application/json` for JSON bodies
---
## 10. Not Handling Response Errors
### ❌ WRONG
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
// Crashes if response is error or data is missing
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.data[0].id;
}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200 && response.parsedBody.data) {
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.data[0].id;
console.log('✓ User ID:', exports.userId);
} else {
console.error('❌ Error:', response.statusCode, response.parsedBody);
}
}}
```
**Error:** Script crashes on API errors
**Fix:** Always check response.statusCode before accessing data
---
## 11. Incorrect .env File Location
### ❌ WRONG
```
project/
├── api/
│ ├── .env # Wrong location
│ └── users.http
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```
project/
├── .env # Correct location (project root)
├── api/
│ └── users.http
```
**Error:** Environment variables not loading
**Fix:** Place .env in project root or same directory as .http files
---
## 12. Forgetting to Gitignore .env
### ❌ WRONG
No .gitignore entry for .env
### ✅ CORRECT
```gitignore
# .gitignore
.env
.env.local
.env.production
.env.*.local
```
**Error:** Secrets committed to Git
**Fix:** Always add .env to .gitignore
---
## 13. Using Synchronous Code in Async Context
### ❌ WRONG
```http
{{
const axios = require('axios');
const response = axios.get('https://api.example.com'); // Missing await
const data = response.data; // Won't work - response is a Promise
exports.data = data;
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/endpoint
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
{{
const axios = require('axios');
const response = await axios.get('https://api.example.com');
const data = response.data;
exports.data = data;
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/endpoint
```
**Error:** Data not available when request runs
**Fix:** Always use `await` with async operations
---
## 14. Incorrect Test Syntax
### ❌ WRONG
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
test("Status is 200", function() {
assert(response.statusCode === 200); // Wrong assertion
});
}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
const { expect } = require('chai');
test("Status is 200", () => {
expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200); // Chai assertion
});
// Or using Node's assert
const assert = require('assert');
assert.strictEqual(response.statusCode, 200);
}}
```
**Error:** Test not recognized or fails incorrectly
**Fix:** Use Chai's `expect().to.equal()` or Node's `assert.strictEqual()`
---
## 15. Not Separating Concerns
### ❌ WRONG (Everything in one file with no organization)
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
###
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/orders
###
PUT {{baseUrl}}/users/123
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/products
```
### ✅ CORRECT (Organized by feature)
```
api/
├── _common.http # Shared variables, auth
├── users.http # User endpoints
├── orders.http # Order endpoints
├── products.http # Product endpoints
```
**Error:** Hard to maintain, difficult to find requests
**Fix:** Split into multiple files by feature/resource
---
## 16. Using exports in @loop for Accumulation
### ❌ WRONG
```http
# @loop for 3
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles?page={{$index + 1}}
{{
exports.articles = exports.articles || [];
exports.articles.push(...response.parsedBody.data);
console.log(`Accumulated: ${exports.articles.length}`);
// Output: 5, 5, 5 (exports resets each iteration!)
}}
```
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
# @loop for 3
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles?page={{$index + 1}}
{{
// Use $global for persistent state in @loop
if (typeof $global.articles === 'undefined') {
$global.articles = [];
}
$global.articles.push(...response.parsedBody.data);
console.log(`Accumulated: ${$global.articles.length}`);
// Output: 5, 10, 15 ✅
// Save to exports on last iteration
if ($index === 2) {
exports.articles = $global.articles;
}
}}
```
**Error:** `exports` object is reset on each `@loop` iteration, making accumulation impossible
**Fix:** Use `$global.*` (httpYac's persistent global object) for persistent state across loop iterations, then save to `exports` at the end
**Why:** httpYac's `@loop` creates a new script context for each iteration, resetting `exports` but preserving `$global`
---
## 17. Response Content-Type Not application/json
### ❌ WRONG
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/api/upload
{{
// Assumes response is always application/json
const data = response.parsedBody;
if (data.media_id) {
exports.mediaId = data.media_id; // Crash: Cannot read properties of undefined
}
}}
```
**Problem:** API returns `Content-Type: text/plain` but body is JSON, so `response.parsedBody` is `undefined`.
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/api/upload
{{
// Fallback to manual parsing if parsedBody is undefined
const data = response.parsedBody || JSON.parse(response.body);
if (data.media_id) {
exports.mediaId = data.media_id;
}
}}
```
**Real-world example:** WeChat API returns `Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8` even though body is JSON.
**Error:** `TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'field_name')`
**Fix:** Use `response.parsedBody || JSON.parse(response.body)` for APIs with incorrect Content-Type
**Alternative (for debugging):**
```http
{{
console.log('Content-Type:', response.headers['content-type']);
console.log('parsedBody:', response.parsedBody);
console.log('body:', response.body);
const data = response.parsedBody || JSON.parse(response.body);
console.log('Response:', data);
}}
```
---
## 18. Incorrect multipart/form-data Boundary Format
### ❌ WRONG
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/upload
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----FormBoundary
------FormBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test.jpg"
< ./test.jpg
------FormBoundary--
```
**Problem:** Boundary in Content-Type header has `----` prefix, which is incorrect.
### ✅ CORRECT
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/upload
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=FormBoundary
--FormBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
< ./test.jpg
--FormBoundary--
```
**RFC 2046 Rules:**
1. **Header**: `boundary=BoundaryName` (no dashes)
2. **Separator**: `--BoundaryName` (two dashes prefix)
3. **End marker**: `--BoundaryName--` (two dashes prefix + suffix)
**Common patterns:**
- ✅ `boundary=WebKitFormBoundary`
- ✅ `boundary=FormBoundary`
- ❌ `boundary=----FormBoundary` (don't include dashes in boundary name)
**Error:** File upload fails or returns "400 Bad Request"
**Fix:** Remove dashes from boundary name in Content-Type header
**Complete example (matching curl -F):**
```http
# Equivalent to: curl -F "media=@test.jpg" URL
POST {{baseUrl}}/upload?type=image
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=WebKitFormBoundary
--WebKitFormBoundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="media"; filename="test.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpeg
< ./path/to/test.jpg
--WebKitFormBoundary--
```
**Key point:** The `name="media"` corresponds to `-F media=@file` in curl.
---
## Quick Checklist
Before finalizing .http files, verify:
- [ ] All requests separated by `###`
- [ ] Variables declared before usage
- [ ] Scripts use `{{ }}` delimiters only
- [ ] Global variables use `exports.` prefix (except in `@loop` - use `$global`)
- [ ] Environment variables use `$processEnv.` prefix
- [ ] Content-Type header included for JSON bodies
- [ ] Response errors handled in post-response scripts
- [ ] .env file in correct location (project root)
- [ ] .env added to .gitignore
- [ ] Requests named with `# @name` for chaining
- [ ] Built-in packages used (axios, not fetch)
- [ ] Async operations use `await`
- [ ] In `@loop` directives, use `$global.*` for data accumulation
- [ ] Response parsing handles non-JSON Content-Type (use `parsedBody || JSON.parse(body)`)
- [ ] multipart/form-data boundary format is correct (no dashes in boundary name)
- [ ] File upload field names match API requirements (e.g., `name="media"`)

# Documentation for httpYac Collections
Guide to creating clear, maintainable documentation for httpYac API collections.
## README.md Template
### Basic Template
```markdown
# API Collection Name - httpYac
Brief description of the API collection and its purpose.
## Quick Start
1. **Install httpYac Extension**
- **VS Code**: Install "httpYac" extension from marketplace
- **CLI**: `npm install -g httpyac`
2. **Configure Environment**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your credentials
```
3. **Run Requests**
- **VS Code**: Open `.http` file → Click "Send Request" above any request
- **CLI**: `httpyac send api-collection.http`
## File Structure
```
.
├── api-collection.http # Main API requests
├── auth.http # Authentication endpoints
├── users.http # User management endpoints
├── .env # Local environment (gitignored)
├── .env.example # Environment template
├── .httpyac.json # Configuration
└── README.md # This file
```
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Example | Required |
|----------|-------------|---------|----------|
| `API_BASE_URL` | API base endpoint | `http://localhost:3000` | Yes |
| `API_TOKEN` | Authentication token | `your-token-here` | Yes |
| `API_USER` | API username/email | `user@example.com` | Yes |
| `DEBUG` | Enable debug logging | `true` / `false` | No |
## Available Endpoints
### Authentication
- `login` - Obtain access token
- `refresh` - Refresh expired token
- `logout` - Invalidate token
### Users
- `getUsers` - List all users
- `getUser` - Get user by ID
- `createUser` - Create new user
- `updateUser` - Update user details
- `deleteUser` - Delete user
### Articles
- `getArticles` - List articles
- `getArticle` - Get article by ID
- `createArticle` - Create new article
## Request Chaining
Requests automatically pass data between each other:
1. Run `login` → Stores access token
2. Run `getUsers` → Uses stored token automatically
3. Run `createUser` → Returns user ID
4. Run `getUser` → Uses created user ID
## Testing
### Run All Requests
```bash
httpyac send api-collection.http --all
```
### Run Specific Request
```bash
httpyac send api-collection.http --name getUsers
```
### Run with Different Environment
```bash
httpyac send api-collection.http --env production
```
## CI/CD Integration
### GitHub Actions
```yaml
name: API Tests
on: [push]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Run API Tests
run: |
npm install -g httpyac
httpyac send tests/*.http --all
env:
API_BASE_URL: ${{ secrets.API_BASE_URL }}
API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN }}
```
### GitLab CI
```yaml
test:
script:
- npm install -g httpyac
- httpyac send tests/*.http --all
variables:
API_BASE_URL: ${API_BASE_URL}
API_TOKEN: ${API_TOKEN}
```
## Troubleshooting
### Variables Not Loaded
- Ensure `.env` file exists in project root
- Check variable names match exactly (case-sensitive)
- Reload VS Code window
### Authentication Failed
- Run `login` request first
- Check credentials in `.env` file
- Verify token hasn't expired
### Request Timeout
- Increase timeout in `.httpyac.json`:
```json
{
"request": {
"timeout": 60000
}
}
```

## CONTRIBUTING.md
Guide for team contributions:
```markdown
# Contributing to API Collection
## Setup
1. Clone repository
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`
3. Install VS Code httpYac extension
4. Configure your credentials in `.env`
## Before Adding Endpoints
- [ ] Check if endpoint already exists
- [ ] Review API documentation
- [ ] Understand authentication requirements
- [ ] Plan request/response structure
## Adding New Endpoints
1. **Choose appropriate file**
- Authentication → `auth.http`
- User management → `users.http`
- New module → Create new file
2. **Follow naming conventions**
```http
# @name actionResource
# Examples:
# @name getUsers
# @name createArticle
# @name deleteComment
```
3. **Add documentation**
```http
### Descriptive Title
# @name requestName
# @description Brief description | Key details | Special notes
```
4. **Include assertions**
```http
?? status == 200
?? js response.parsedBody.data exists
```
5. **Add error handling**
```http
{{
if (validateResponse(response, 'Action Name')) {
// Success logic
} else {
// Error handling
}
}}
```
## Code Style
### Variables
```http
# ✅ Use descriptive names
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@userId = {{USER_ID}}
# ❌ Avoid abbreviations
@url = {{BASE}}
@id = {{ID}}
```
### Scripts
```http
{{
// ✅ Export functions for reuse
exports.functionName = function() { };
// ✅ Add comments for complex logic
// Calculate expiry time accounting for server offset
exports.expiresAt = Date.now() + (response.parsedBody.expires_in * 1000);
// ✅ Use descriptive variable names
const articleId = response.parsedBody.id;
// ❌ Avoid single-letter variables
const a = response.parsedBody.id;
}}
```
### Logging
```http
{{
// ✅ Use emoji for visual distinction
console.log('✓ Success');
console.warn('⚠️ Warning');
console.error('✗ Error');
// ✅ Include context
console.log('📄 Retrieved', articles.length, 'articles');
// ❌ Avoid generic messages
console.log('Done');
}}
```
## Testing Your Changes
### Before Committing
1. **Run all requests in file**
```bash
httpyac send your-file.http --all
```
2. **Test in different environments**
```bash
httpyac send your-file.http --env dev
httpyac send your-file.http --env test
```
3. **Verify assertions pass**
- Check console output for test results
- Ensure no errors logged
4. **Check security**
- No hardcoded credentials
- Secrets in .env file
- .env not committed
### Pull Request Checklist
- [ ] All requests execute successfully
- [ ] Assertions added and passing
- [ ] Documentation updated (README, comments)
- [ ] No hardcoded credentials
- [ ] Code follows style guide
- [ ] Environment variables documented
- [ ] Tested in dev and test environments
## Common Issues
### "Variable not defined"
- Define variable at file top: `@variable = {{ENV_VAR}}`
- Or in script: `exports.variable = value`
### "Function not defined"
- Export function: `exports.functionName = function() {}`
- Call without exports: `functionName()`
### "Token expired"
- Implement token refresh logic
- See `auth.http` for examples
## Getting Help
- Check documentation: `README.md`, `API_REFERENCE.md`
- Review existing requests for examples
- Ask in #api-support Slack channel
- Tag @api-team in pull requests

# Environment Management in httpYac
Complete guide to managing environments, configuration files, and variables in httpYac.
## Overview
httpYac supports multiple environment management approaches:
1. **.env files** (Recommended) - Environment variables with dotenv support
2. **.httpyac.json** - JSON-based configuration (simple, recommended for settings)
3. **httpyac.config.js** - JavaScript-based configuration (for dynamic logic)
**Best Practice:** Use .env files for **variables** (API_BASE_URL, API_TOKEN), and configuration files for **behavior settings** (timeout, log level, proxy).
---
## .env Files (Recommended for Variables)
### Basic Setup
**File: `.env` (Development)**
```env
API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
API_USER=dev@example.com
API_TOKEN=dev_token_12345
DEBUG=true
```
**File: `.env.production` (Production)**
```env
API_BASE_URL=https://api.production.com
API_USER=prod@example.com
API_TOKEN=prod_secure_token
DEBUG=false
```
**File: `.env.local` (Local Overrides - gitignored)**
```env
API_BASE_URL=http://192.168.1.100:3000
API_USER=local@example.com
```
### Usage in .http Files
```http
# Load environment variables
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@user = {{API_USER}}
@token = {{API_TOKEN}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/users
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
X-User: {{user}}
```
### Environment Switching
**In VS Code:**
- Status bar shows current environment
- Click to switch between environments
- httpYac automatically loads corresponding .env file
**In CLI:**
```bash
# Default (uses .env)
httpyac send api.http
# Production
httpyac send api.http --env production
# Custom environment
httpyac send api.http --env staging
```
### .env File Naming Convention
| File | Purpose | Loaded When |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------ |
| `.env` | Default/Development | Always (default) |
| `.env.production` | Production | `--env production` |
| `.env.test` | Testing | `--env test` |
| `.env.staging` | Staging | `--env staging` |
| `.env.local` | Local overrides | Always (if exists) |
| `.env.*.local` | Environment-specific overrides | With parent env |
**Priority:** `.env.production.local` > `.env.production` > `.env.local` > `.env`
### .env File Syntax
```env
# ✅ Correct syntax
API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
API_TOKEN=abc123
ENABLE_DEBUG=true
# ❌ Wrong - quotes included in value
API_BASE_URL="http://localhost:3000" # Value will be: "http://localhost:3000"
API_TOKEN='abc123' # Value will be: 'abc123'
# Comments
# This is a comment
API_KEY=key123 # Inline comment works too
# Multi-line values (not recommended, use separate variables instead)
DESCRIPTION=First line\nSecond line
# Empty values
OPTIONAL_SETTING=
```
### .env.example Template
**File: `.env.example`**
```env
# API Configuration
API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
API_USER=your-email@example.com
API_TOKEN=your-token-here
# Feature Flags
DEBUG=false
ENABLE_LOGGING=true
# Optional Settings
PROXY_URL=
TIMEOUT=30000
```
**Instructions for team members:**
```bash
# 1. Copy example file
cp .env.example .env
# 2. Edit .env with your actual credentials
# Never commit .env to git!
```
---
## Configuration Files
### Option A: .httpyac.json (Simple, Recommended)
**Use for:** Behavior settings only (timeout, logging, proxy). **DO NOT use for environment variables.**
**File: `.httpyac.json`**
```json
{
"log": {
"level": "warn",
"supportAnsiColors": true
},
"request": {
"timeout": 30000,
"rejectUnauthorized": true
},
"cookieJarEnabled": true,
"responseViewPrettyPrint": true
}
```
**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** This file configures httpYac's **behavior**, NOT API variables. For API variables (baseUrl, token), use `.env` files.
**Configuration Options:**
| Option | Type | Description |
| ---------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `log.level` | string | `trace`, `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error` |
| `log.supportAnsiColors` | boolean | Enable colored output |
| `request.timeout` | number | Timeout in milliseconds |
| `request.rejectUnauthorized` | boolean | Verify SSL certificates |
| `cookieJarEnabled` | boolean | Enable cookie jar |
| `responseViewPrettyPrint` | boolean | Pretty print JSON responses |
| `followRedirects` | boolean | Follow HTTP redirects |
### Option B: httpyac.config.js (Dynamic Logic)
**Use for:** Dynamic configuration based on environment variables or computed values. **DO NOT use for API variables.**
**File: `httpyac.config.js`**
```javascript
module.exports = {
log: {
level: process.env.NODE_ENV === "production" ? "error" : "warn",
supportAnsiColors: true,
},
request: {
timeout: parseInt(process.env.REQUEST_TIMEOUT) || 30000,
rejectUnauthorized: process.env.NODE_ENV === "production",
},
cookieJarEnabled: true,
// Optional: Dynamic proxy configuration
proxy: process.env.HTTP_PROXY || null,
};
```
**Benefits:**
- Can use `process.env` for dynamic behavior
- Supports computed values and conditional logic
- Useful for per-environment behavior changes
**⚠️ IMPORTANT:** This file is for httpYac **behavior settings** only. For API variables, use `.env` files.
**Dynamic Configuration Examples:**
```javascript
module.exports = {
// Environment-based timeout
request: {
timeout: process.env.CI ? 60000 : 30000,
},
// Conditional SSL verification
request: {
rejectUnauthorized: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "development",
},
// Dynamic proxy from environment
proxy: process.env.HTTP_PROXY || process.env.HTTPS_PROXY,
};
```
---
## Environment Selection in .http Files
### Force Specific Environment
```http
# @forceEnv production
# This file always uses production environment
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
```
### Conditional Requests by Environment
```http
# @name getData
# Run only in development
# @forceEnv dev
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/test-data
###
# Run only in production
# @forceEnv production
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/production-data
```
---
## Shared Variables Across Environments
**❌ DO NOT use .httpyac.json `environments` field for variables**
Use `.env` files instead:
**Shared variables in .http files:**
```http
# Common variables (defined once at file top)
@userAgent = httpYac/1.0
@acceptLanguage = en-US
# Environment-specific variables (from .env)
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
User-Agent: {{userAgent}}
Accept-Language: {{acceptLanguage}}
```
**Or use script blocks:**
```http
# Shared variables (available in all requests)
{{
exports.userAgent = 'httpYac/1.0';
exports.acceptLanguage = 'en-US';
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/endpoint
User-Agent: {{userAgent}}
Accept-Language: {{acceptLanguage}}
```
---
## Environment-Specific Scripts
```http
{{
const env = $processEnv.NODE_ENV || 'development';
if (env === 'production') {
console.log('⚠️ Running in PRODUCTION');
exports.baseUrl = 'https://api.production.com';
exports.logEnabled = false;
} else if (env === 'test') {
console.log('🧪 Running in TEST');
exports.baseUrl = 'https://test-api.example.com';
exports.logEnabled = true;
} else {
console.log('🔧 Running in DEVELOPMENT');
exports.baseUrl = 'http://localhost:3000';
exports.logEnabled = true;
}
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
{{
if (logEnabled) {
console.log('Response:', response.parsedBody);
}
}}
```
---
## Multi-Project Setup
### Scenario: Multiple API Projects
**Project structure:**
```
project-root/
├── api-v1/
│ ├── users.http
│ ├── auth.http
│ └── .httpyac.json
├── api-v2/
│ ├── users.http
│ ├── auth.http
│ └── .httpyac.json
├── .env
├── .env.production
└── .gitignore
```
**Root `.env`:**
```env
API_V1_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000/v1
API_V2_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000/v2
SHARED_TOKEN=shared_token_123
```
**api-v1/.httpyac.json:** (Optional behavior settings only)
```json
{
"log": {
"level": "warn"
},
"request": {
"timeout": 30000
}
}
```
**api-v1/users.http:**
```http
@baseUrl = {{API_V1_BASE_URL}}
@token = {{SHARED_TOKEN}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
```
---
## CLI Environment Management
### Basic Usage
```bash
# Use default environment (.env)
httpyac send api.http
# Use specific environment
httpyac send api.http --env production
httpyac send api.http --env test

## Environment Detection
### Automatic Detection
```http
{{
// Detect environment from various sources
const env =
$processEnv.NODE_ENV || // Node.js environment
$processEnv.HTTPYAC_ENV || // httpYac-specific
$processEnv.CI ? 'ci' : 'dev'; // CI detection
console.log('📍 Detected environment:', env);
exports.environment = env;
// Environment-specific configuration
const configs = {
dev: {
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',
debug: true
},
test: {
baseUrl: 'https://test-api.example.com',
debug: true
},
production: {
baseUrl: 'https://api.production.com',
debug: false
},
ci: {
baseUrl: 'http://ci-api.example.com',
debug: false
}
};
const config = configs[env] || configs.dev;
exports.baseUrl = config.baseUrl;
exports.debugEnabled = config.debug;
}}
```
### CI Platform Detection
```http
{{
// Detect CI platform
let platform = 'local';
if ($processEnv.GITHUB_ACTIONS) {
platform = 'GitHub Actions';
} else if ($processEnv.GITLAB_CI) {
platform = 'GitLab CI';
} else if ($processEnv.CIRCLECI) {
platform = 'CircleCI';
} else if ($processEnv.JENKINS_URL) {
platform = 'Jenkins';
}
console.log('🚀 Running on:', platform);
exports.ciPlatform = platform;
}}
```
---
## Special Environment Variables
httpYac recognizes special variables that control request behavior. These variables provide environment-specific settings without modifying .http files.
### request_rejectUnauthorized
Control SSL certificate validation per environment. Useful for development with self-signed certificates.
**.env (Development):**
```env
API_BASE_URL=https://localhost:3000
API_TOKEN=dev_token_123
# Ignore SSL certificate errors in development
request_rejectUnauthorized=false
```
**.env.production:**
```env
API_BASE_URL=https://api.production.com
API_TOKEN=prod_secure_token
# Enforce SSL validation in production
request_rejectUnauthorized=true
```
**Effect:** Development environment ignores SSL errors, production enforces strict validation.
**When to use:**
- ✅ Testing with self-signed certificates
- ✅ Local HTTPS development
- ✅ Internal APIs with custom CA
- ❌ Never set to `false` in production
### request_proxy
Set environment-specific HTTP proxy without code changes.
**.env.local (for debugging):**
```env
# Route through debugging proxy
request_proxy=http://localhost:8888
# Optional: proxy authentication
request_proxy=http://user:pass@proxy.company.com:8080
```
**.env (default - no proxy):**
```env
# No proxy configuration needed - leave unset
```
**Effect:** Requests automatically route through specified proxy when variable is set.
**Common uses:**
- ✅ Debugging with Fiddler/Charles (port 8888)
- ✅ Corporate proxy requirements
- ✅ Network traffic inspection
- ✅ Request/response logging
### Usage Example
```http
# No special syntax required - httpYac reads these automatically
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@token = {{API_TOKEN}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
# Behavior automatically adjusted based on:
# - request_rejectUnauthorized (SSL validation)
# - request_proxy (network routing)
```
### Environment-Specific Behavior
**Development (.env):**
```env
API_BASE_URL=https://localhost:3000
request_rejectUnauthorized=false
request_proxy=http://localhost:8888
```
→ Ignores SSL errors, routes through Fiddler for debugging
**Testing (.env.test):**
```env
API_BASE_URL=https://test.example.com
request_rejectUnauthorized=true
```
→ Validates SSL, no proxy
**Production (.env.production):**
```env
API_BASE_URL=https://api.production.com
request_rejectUnauthorized=true
request_proxy=http://proxy.company.com:8080
```
→ Strict SSL, corporate proxy
### Security Notes
**⚠️ WARNING:**
- Never commit `.env` files with `request_rejectUnauthorized=false`
- Always use `request_rejectUnauthorized=true` in production
- Proxy credentials should be in `.env.local` (gitignored)
**Best practice:**
```gitignore
# .gitignore
.env
.env.local
.env.*.local
```
### Complete Example
**.env.example (committed to git):**
```env
# API Configuration
API_BASE_URL=https://api.example.com
API_TOKEN=your_token_here
# Special Variables (optional)
# request_rejectUnauthorized=true
# request_proxy=http://proxy:8080
```
**.env.local (developer's machine, gitignored):**
```env
API_BASE_URL=https://localhost:3000
API_TOKEN=dev_token_123
request_rejectUnauthorized=false
request_proxy=http://localhost:8888
```
**users.http:**
```http
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@token = {{API_TOKEN}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/users
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
# Automatically uses:
# - SSL validation from request_rejectUnauthorized
# - Proxy from request_proxy
# - No code changes needed between environments
```
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Separation of Concerns
**DO:**
- Variables (API_BASE_URL, API_TOKEN) → `.env` files
- Behavior settings (timeout, log level) → `.httpyac.json`
- Dynamic logic → `httpyac.config.js`
**DON'T:**
- Mix variables and settings in same file
- Put secrets in `.httpyac.json` or `httpyac.config.js`
### 2. Security
```gitignore
# .gitignore
.env
.env.local
.env.*.local
*.httpyac.cache
```
```env
# .env.example (committed)
API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
API_USER=your-email@example.com
API_TOKEN=your-token-here
```
### 3. Environment Naming
Use consistent environment names:
- `dev` / `development` - Local development
- `test` / `testing` - Automated testing
- `staging` - Pre-production
- `production` / `prod` - Production
- `ci` - CI/CD pipelines
### 4. Variable Naming Conventions
```env
# ✅ Good - Clear, descriptive, consistent
API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
API_AUTH_TOKEN=abc123
DATABASE_HOST=localhost
FEATURE_FLAG_NEW_UI=true
# ❌ Bad - Unclear, inconsistent
URL=http://localhost:3000
token=abc123
db=localhost
newUI=true
```
### 5. Default Values
**In .http files:**
```http
{{
// Provide defaults for optional variables
exports.baseUrl = $processEnv.API_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:3000';
exports.timeout = parseInt($processEnv.TIMEOUT) || 30000;
exports.debug = $processEnv.DEBUG === 'true';
}}
```
**In httpyac.config.js:**
```javascript
module.exports = {
request: {
timeout: parseInt(process.env.REQUEST_TIMEOUT) || 30000,
},
log: {
level: process.env.LOG_LEVEL || "info",
},
};
```
---
## Common Issues
### Issue 1: Variables Not Loading
**Symptom:** `{{API_BASE_URL}}` shows as literal text
**Causes & Fixes:**
1. .env file not in project root → Move to root
2. Wrong variable name → Check case-sensitivity
3. Environment not selected → Check VS Code status bar
### Issue 2: Wrong Environment Loaded
**Symptom:** Using dev instead of production
**Fix:**
```bash
# CLI: Explicitly specify environment
httpyac send api.http --env production
# VS Code: Check status bar environment selector
# File: Add @forceEnv directive
# @forceEnv production
```
### Issue 3: Configuration Not Applied
**Symptom:** Settings in .httpyac.json not working
**Causes & Fixes:**
1. JSON syntax error → Validate JSON
2. Wrong file location → Must be in project root
3. Cached config → Reload VS Code
### Issue 4: Secrets in Git
**Prevention:**
```bash
# Add to .gitignore BEFORE committing
echo ".env" >> .gitignore
echo ".env.local" >> .gitignore
echo ".env.*.local" >> .gitignore
# Check what will be committed
git status
# If already committed, remove from history
git rm --cached .env
git commit -m "Remove .env from git"
```

```
**Switch environment (CLI):**
```bash
httpyac send api.http --env production
```
**Force environment (in file):**
```http
# @forceEnv production
```
**Environment-specific script:**
```http
{{
const env = $processEnv.NODE_ENV || 'dev';
if (env === 'production') {
// Production logic
}
}}
```
**Configuration file priority:**
```
httpyac.config.js > .httpyac.json
.env.production.local > .env.production > .env.local > .env

# Request Dependencies and Chaining
Complete guide for managing dependencies between HTTP requests using httpYac's native patterns: `@import`, `@forceRef`, and `exports`.
## Overview
httpYac provides three mechanisms for request dependencies:
1. **`@import`** - Include definitions from other .http files
2. **`@forceRef`** - Force execution of a named request before current request
3. **`exports`** - Share variables between requests and templates
**Why NOT use require()?** See COMMON_MISTAKES.md #2 - require() is not supported in most httpYac environments.
---
## Decision Guide: When to Use What
| Scenario | Pattern | Example Use Case |
|----------|---------|------------------|
| Shared resource (all requests need it) | Separate request + @forceRef | Access token, API configuration |
| Request-specific parameter | Inline calculation + exports | Different date ranges, page sizes, filters |
| One-time transformation | File-level function | Date formatting, signature generation |
| Cross-file shared logic | @import + file-level function | Validation functions, formatters |
### Decision Tree
```
Need to share data between requests?
├─ YES → Data is same for ALL requests?
│ ├─ YES → Use separate request + @forceRef
│ │ Example: Access token, API version
│ └─ NO → Data varies per request?
│ └─ YES → Use inline calculation + exports
│ Example: Different date ranges (7 days, 3 days, 30 days)
└─ NO → Data only needed in current request?
└─ YES → Use exports in pre-request script
Example: Temporary variables for request body
```
---
## Pattern 1: Shared Resources (@import + @forceRef)
**Use when:** All requests need the SAME resource (e.g., access token).
### Example: Authentication Token
**File: 01-auth.http**
```http
@baseUrl = {{WECHAT_BASE_URL}}
@appId = {{WECHAT_APP_ID}}
@appSecret = {{WECHAT_APP_SECRET}}
# @name auth
# @description Fetch access token | Valid for 7200 seconds
POST {{baseUrl}}/cgi-bin/token?grant_type=client_credentials&appid={{appId}}&secret={{appSecret}}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
const data = response.parsedBody;
// Export for use in all subsequent requests
exports.accessToken = data.access_token;
exports.tokenExpiresIn = data.expires_in;
exports.tokenExpiresAt = Date.now() + (data.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Token obtained:', exports.accessToken.substring(0, 20) + '...');
console.log(' Expires in:', exports.tokenExpiresIn, 'seconds');
} else {
console.error('✗ Failed to get token:', response.parsedBody);
}
}}
```
**File: 02-user.http**
```http
@baseUrl = {{WECHAT_BASE_URL}}
# @import ./01-auth.http
###
# @name getUserList
# @description Get follower list | Max 10,000 per request
# @forceRef auth
GET {{baseUrl}}/cgi-bin/user/get?access_token={{accessToken}}&next_openid=
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
const data = response.parsedBody;
console.log('✓ Follower list retrieved');
console.log(' Total followers:', data.total);
console.log(' Returned in this page:', data.count);
}
}}
```
**Key Points:**
- `@import ./01-auth.http` - Makes auth request definition available
- `@forceRef auth` - Ensures auth request runs first
- `{{accessToken}}` - Uses token from auth request
- Token is fetched ONCE and reused by all requests
---
## Pattern 2: Request-Specific Parameters (Inline Calculation)
**Use when:** Each request needs DIFFERENT values for the same parameter.
### Example: Date Range Analytics
**File: 12-analytics.http**
```http
@baseUrl = {{WECHAT_BASE_URL}}
@appId = {{WECHAT_APP_ID}}
@appSecret = {{WECHAT_APP_SECRET}}
# @import ./01-auth.http
{{
// Helper: Get date range for last N days
// Note: WeChat Analytics API has 1-3 days data delay
exports.getDateRange = function(days = 7) {
const end = new Date();
end.setDate(end.getDate() - 1); // End date = yesterday (to avoid data delay)
const start = new Date(end);
start.setDate(start.getDate() - days + 1); // Start date = (end - days + 1)
const formatDate = (d) => {
return d.toISOString().split('T')[0]; // YYYY-MM-DD
};
return {
begin_date: formatDate(start),
end_date: formatDate(end)
};
};
}}
###
# @name getUserSummary
# @description Daily user analytics | New followers, unfollows, net growth
# @forceRef auth
{{
// Calculate 7-day range for this request
exports.dates = getDateRange(7);
}}
POST {{baseUrl}}/datacube/getusersummary?access_token={{accessToken}}
Content-Type: application/json
{
"begin_date": "{{dates.begin_date}}",
"end_date": "{{dates.end_date}}"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
const data = response.parsedBody;
if (data.list) {
console.log('✓ User summary retrieved (7 days)');
data.list.forEach(item => {
console.log(` ${item.ref_date}: +${item.new_user} / -${item.cancel_user}`);
});
}
}
}}
###
# @name getArticleSummary
# @description Article analytics | Views, shares, favorites per day
# @forceRef auth
{{
// Calculate 3-day range for this request (different from above!)
exports.dates = getDateRange(3);
}}
POST {{baseUrl}}/datacube/getarticlesummary?access_token={{accessToken}}
Content-Type: application/json
{
"begin_date": "{{dates.begin_date}}",
"end_date": "{{dates.end_date}}"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
const data = response.parsedBody;
if (data.list) {
console.log('✓ Article summary retrieved (3 days)');
data.list.forEach(item => {
console.log(` ${item.ref_date}: ${item.int_page_read_count} views`);
});
}
}
}}
```
**Key Points:**
- `exports.getDateRange` - File-level function, callable in all requests
- `exports.dates = getDateRange(7)` - Calculate 7-day range for request 1
- `exports.dates = getDateRange(3)` - Calculate 3-day range for request 2 (overwrites previous value)
- Each request gets its own date range without affecting others
**Why NOT use separate dateRange requests?**
- Would need `dateRange7`, `dateRange3`, `dateRange30` - inflexible
- Inline calculation is more flexible and clearer
- Shared resources (token) vs. request-specific parameters (dates)
---
## Pattern 3: API Constraints Handling
**Use when:** API has business constraints (data delay, timezone, rate limits).
### Example 1: Analytics APIs with Data Delay
Many analytics APIs have data processing delays:
| API | Data Delay | Solution |
|-----|------------|----------|
| WeChat Analytics | 1-3 days | End date = yesterday |
| Google Analytics | 24-48 hours | End date = 2 days ago |
| Twitter Analytics | 1 day | End date = yesterday |
| Facebook Insights | Real-time but incomplete | End date = yesterday for complete data |
**Implementation:**
```http
{{
exports.getDateRange = function(days) {
// ❌ WRONG: Query today's data
// const end = new Date(); // No data available yet!
// ✅ CORRECT: Account for API delay
const end = new Date();
end.setDate(end.getDate() - 1); // End at yesterday
const start = new Date(end);
start.setDate(start.getDate() - days + 1);
const formatDate = (d) => d.toISOString().split('T')[0];
return {
begin_date: formatDate(start),
end_date: formatDate(end)
};
};
}}
###
POST {{baseUrl}}/datacube/getusersummary?access_token={{accessToken}}
Content-Type: application/json
{
"begin_date": "{{dates.begin_date}}",
"end_date": "{{dates.end_date}}"
}
{{
// Handle API-specific error codes
if (response.parsedBody.errcode === 61501) {
console.error('✗ Date range error - data not available for this period');
console.error(' Tip: WeChat Analytics has 1-3 day data delay');
console.error(' Try querying older dates or reduce the end_date');
}
}}
```
### Example 2: Timezone Handling
```http
{{
exports.getDateRangeUTC8 = function(days) {
// WeChat API uses UTC+8 (Beijing Time)
const now = new Date();
const utc8Offset = 8 * 60 * 60 * 1000; // 8 hours in milliseconds
// Convert to UTC+8
const utc8Now = new Date(now.getTime() + utc8Offset);
const end = new Date(utc8Now);
end.setDate(end.getDate() - 1); // Yesterday in UTC+8
const start = new Date(end);
start.setDate(start.getDate() - days + 1);
const formatDate = (d) => {
const year = d.getUTCFullYear();
const month = String(d.getUTCMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0');
const day = String(d.getUTCDate()).padStart(2, '0');
return `${year}-${month}-${day}`;
};
return {
begin_date: formatDate(start),
end_date: formatDate(end)
};
};
}}
```
### Example 3: Rate Limiting
```http
{{
// Track request timestamps to avoid rate limits
exports.requestHistory = exports.requestHistory || [];
exports.checkRateLimit = function(maxRequests, windowSeconds) {
const now = Date.now();
const windowStart = now - (windowSeconds * 1000);
// Remove old requests outside the window
exports.requestHistory = exports.requestHistory.filter(t => t > windowStart);
if (exports.requestHistory.length >= maxRequests) {
const oldestRequest = exports.requestHistory[0];
const waitMs = oldestRequest + (windowSeconds * 1000) - now;
console.warn(`⚠️ Rate limit: wait ${Math.ceil(waitMs / 1000)}s`);
return false;
}
exports.requestHistory.push(now);
return true;
};
}}
###
{{
// GitHub API: 60 requests per hour for unauthenticated
if (!checkRateLimit(60, 3600)) {
throw new Error('Rate limit exceeded');
}
}}
GET https://api.github.com/repos/anthropics/claude-code
```
---
## Pattern 4: Cross-File Function Sharing
**Use when:** Multiple .http files need the same utility functions.
**File: common/utils.http**
```http
{{
// Validation functions
exports.validateEmail = function(email) {
return /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(email);
};
exports.validatePhone = function(phone) {
return /^1[3-9]\d{9}$/.test(phone); // Chinese mobile
};
// Formatters
exports.formatTimestamp = function(timestamp) {
return new Date(timestamp * 1000).toISOString();
};
// Signature generation
exports.generateSignature = function(params, secret) {
const crypto = require('crypto'); // May work in CLI only
const sorted = Object.keys(params).sort().map(k => `${k}=${params[k]}`).join('&');
return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(sorted + secret).digest('hex');
};
}}
```
**File: api/users.http**
```http
# @import ../common/utils.http
{{
const email = "user@example.com";
if (!validateEmail(email)) {
throw new Error('Invalid email');
}
}}
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
Content-Type: application/json
{
"email": "user@example.com"
}
```
---
## Common Patterns Comparison
### Pattern A: Sequential Requests (Data Chaining)
```http
# Request 1: Create user
# @name createUser
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
Content-Type: application/json
{ "name": "John" }
{{
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.id;
}}
###
# Request 2: Update user (uses data from Request 1)
# @name updateUser
PUT {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
Content-Type: application/json
{ "email": "john@example.com" }
{{
exports.userEmail = response.parsedBody.email;
}}
###
# Request 3: Get user (uses data from Request 1)
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
```
### Pattern B: Parallel Requests (Independent)
```http
# These can run in parallel (no dependencies)
# @name getUsers
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
###
# @name getProducts
GET {{baseUrl}}/products
###
# @name getOrders
GET {{baseUrl}}/orders
```
### Pattern C: Conditional Execution
```http
# @name checkStatus
GET {{baseUrl}}/status
{{
if (response.parsedBody.status === 'ready') {
exports.canProceed = true;
} else {
exports.canProceed = false;
console.warn('⚠️ System not ready');
}
}}
###
{{
if (!canProceed) {
throw new Error('Cannot proceed - system not ready');
}
}}
POST {{baseUrl}}/process
```
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Name Requests Meaningfully
```http
# ✅ GOOD
# @name auth
# @name getUserList
# @name createDraft
# ❌ BAD
# @name req1
# @name test
# @name api
```
### 2. Use Descriptive Variable Names
```http
{{
// ✅ GOOD
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
exports.userEmailList = response.parsedBody.data.map(u => u.email);
// ❌ BAD
exports.token = response.parsedBody.access_token; // Which token?
exports.data = response.parsedBody.data; // What data?
}}
```
### 3. Add Validation and Error Handling
```http
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
console.log('✓ Token obtained');
} else {
console.error('✗ Failed:', response.parsedBody);
throw new Error('Authentication failed');
}
}}
```
### 4. Document Complex Dependencies
```http
# @name getUserAnalytics
# @description Requires: @forceRef auth (for token), @forceRef dateRange (for dates)
# @forceRef auth
# @forceRef dateRange
GET {{baseUrl}}/analytics?access_token={{accessToken}}&start={{startDate}}&end={{endDate}}
```
### 5. Keep File-Level Functions Pure
```http
{{
// ✅ GOOD: Pure function (no side effects)
exports.formatDate = function(date) {
return date.toISOString().split('T')[0];
};
// ❌ BAD: Side effects (modifies global state)
exports.formatDate = function(date) {
exports.lastFormatted = date; // Side effect!
return date.toISOString().split('T')[0];
};
}}
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Issue 1: Variable Undefined in Template
**Error:** `{{accessToken}}` is undefined
**Causes:**
1. Forgot to use `exports`: `const token = ...` instead of `exports.token = ...`
2. Request with the variable didn't run first (missing `@forceRef`)
3. Variable defined in post-response but used in same request template
**Fix:**
```http
# @name auth
POST {{baseUrl}}/token
{{
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token; // Use exports
}}
###
# @forceRef auth // Ensure auth runs first
GET {{baseUrl}}/data?token={{accessToken}}
```
### Issue 2: @forceRef Not Working
**Error:** Request runs but referenced request didn't execute
**Causes:**
1. Request name mismatch: `@name auth` but `@forceRef authenticate`
2. Missing `@import` when request is in different file
3. Circular dependency
**Fix:**
```http
# @import ./01-auth.http // Add import if cross-file
# @name getUserData
# @forceRef auth // Ensure name matches @name
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
```
### Issue 3: Request Runs Multiple Times
**Cause:** Multiple requests use `@forceRef` to the same request
**Expected Behavior:** httpYac caches results, request only runs once per session
**To Force Re-run:** Clear httpYac cache or restart
---
## Summary
| Need | Pattern | Key Tools |
|------|---------|-----------|
| Share token across files | Separate auth request | `@import`, `@forceRef`, `exports` |
| Different parameters per request | Inline calculation | File-level function + `exports` |
| Handle API constraints | Custom date/time logic | `exports` functions with validation |
| Reuse utility functions | Cross-file import | `@import` + file-level functions |
| Sequential data flow | Request chaining | `@name`, `exports` for data passing |
**Remember:**
- Use `@import` for cross-file definitions
- Use `@forceRef` to ensure execution order
- Use `exports` to share data between requests and templates
- Avoid `require()` - it's not supported in most httpYac environments

================================================
# Scripting and Testing in httpYac
Complete guide to JavaScript scripting and test assertions in httpYac .http files.
## Pre-Request Scripts
Execute JavaScript **before** request is sent. Use `{{ }}` block positioned before the request.
### Basic Pre-Request Script
```http
{{
// Set dynamic variables
exports.timestamp = Date.now();
exports.requestId = require('uuid').v4();
console.log('🚀 Sending request:', exports.requestId);
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/endpoint?timestamp={{timestamp}}
X-Request-ID: {{requestId}}
```
### External Data Loading
```http
{{
const axios = require('axios');
// Fetch configuration from external service
const config = await axios.get('https://config-service.com/api-config');
exports.baseUrl = config.data.apiUrl;
exports.apiVersion = config.data.version;
console.log('✓ Configuration loaded:', exports.baseUrl);
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/v{{apiVersion}}/users
```
### Conditional Logic
```http
{{
const environment = $processEnv.NODE_ENV || 'development';
if (environment === 'production') {
console.log('⚠️ WARNING: Running against production!');
exports.baseUrl = 'https://api.production.com';
} else {
exports.baseUrl = 'http://localhost:3000';
}
console.log('📍 Environment:', environment, '| Base URL:', exports.baseUrl);
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
```
### File Reading
```http
{{
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
// Read test data from file
const dataPath = path.join(__dirname, 'test-data.json');
const testData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(dataPath, 'utf8'));
exports.userId = testData.users[0].id;
exports.userName = testData.users[0].name;
console.log('✓ Test data loaded:', exports.userName);
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
```
### Token Expiry Check
```http
{{
// Check if token exists and is valid
if (!accessToken || Date.now() >= expiresAt) {
console.log('⟳ Token expired, fetching new token...');
const axios = require('axios');
const response = await axios.post(`${baseUrl}/oauth/token`, {
grant_type: 'client_credentials',
client_id: clientId,
client_secret: clientSecret
});
exports.accessToken = response.data.access_token;
exports.expiresAt = Date.now() + (response.data.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ New token obtained');
} else {
console.log('✓ Using existing token');
}
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/protected
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
---
## Post-Response Scripts
Execute JavaScript **after** receiving response. Use `{{ }}` block positioned after the request.
### Basic Post-Response Script
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
// Log response details
console.log('📊 Status:', response.statusCode);
console.log('⏱️ Duration:', response.duration, 'ms');
console.log('📦 Body:', JSON.stringify(response.parsedBody, null, 2));
}}
```
### Extract Data for Next Request
```http
# @name createUser
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "John Doe",
"email": "john@example.com"
}
{{
// Store user ID for subsequent requests
if (response.statusCode === 201) {
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.id;
exports.userName = response.parsedBody.name;
exports.userEmail = response.parsedBody.email;
console.log('✓ User created:', exports.userId);
console.log(' Name:', exports.userName);
console.log(' Email:', exports.userEmail);
} else {
console.error('✗ User creation failed:', response.statusCode);
}
}}
###
# Use extracted user ID
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
```
### Response Validation
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles
{{
const articles = response.parsedBody.data;
// Validation logic
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
console.log('✓ Request successful');
console.log('📄 Retrieved', articles.length, 'articles');
// Validate data structure
const hasRequiredFields = articles.every(article =>
article.id && article.title && article.author
);
if (hasRequiredFields) {
console.log('✓ All articles have required fields');
} else {
console.warn('⚠️ Some articles missing required fields');
}
} else {
console.error('✗ Request failed:', response.statusCode);
console.error(' Message:', response.parsedBody.message);
}
}}
```
### Store Token from Login Response
```http
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
Content-Type: application/json
{
"email": "user@example.com",
"password": "password123"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
// Store authentication data
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
exports.refreshToken = response.parsedBody.refresh_token;
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.user.id;
exports.expiresAt = Date.now() + (response.parsedBody.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Login successful');
console.log(' User ID:', exports.userId);
console.log(' Token expires in:', response.parsedBody.expires_in, 'seconds');
console.log(' Token preview:', exports.accessToken.substring(0, 20) + '...');
} else if (response.statusCode === 401) {
console.error('✗ Invalid credentials');
} else {
console.error('✗ Login failed:', response.statusCode);
}
}}
```
### Error Handling
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
{{
if (response.statusCode >= 200 && response.statusCode < 300) {
console.log('✓ Success:', response.statusCode);
exports.lastSuccess = Date.now();
} else if (response.statusCode === 401) {
console.error('✗ Unauthorized - check credentials');
console.log('💡 Hint: Run the login request first');
} else if (response.statusCode === 404) {
console.error('✗ Resource not found');
} else if (response.statusCode >= 500) {
console.error('✗ Server error:', response.statusCode);
console.error(' Message:', response.parsedBody?.message || 'Unknown error');
} else {
console.error('✗ Request failed:', response.statusCode);
}
}}
```
---
## Utility Functions
Create reusable functions for common operations.
### Response Validation Function
```http
{{
// Export utility function for response validation
exports.validateResponse = function(response, actionName) {
if (response.statusCode >= 200 && response.statusCode < 300) {
console.log(`✓ ${actionName} 成功 (${response.statusCode})`);
return true;
} else {
console.error(`✗ ${actionName} 失败 (${response.statusCode})`);
if (response.parsedBody?.message) {
console.error(` 错误: ${response.parsedBody.message}`);
}
return false;
}
};
console.log('✓ Utility functions loaded');
}}
###
# Use the utility function
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
// Call the function (without exports.)
if (validateResponse(response, '获取用户列表')) {
console.log('📊 Retrieved', response.parsedBody.length, 'users');
}
}}
```
### Base64 Content Decoder
```http
{{
// Export utility function for Base64 decoding
exports.decodeBase64Content = function(base64String) {
if (!base64String) return null;
return Buffer.from(base64String, 'base64').toString('utf8');
};
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/article/123
{{
if (validateResponse(response, '获取文章')) {
const article = response.parsedBody;
// Decode Base64 content
if (article.content) {
const decodedContent = decodeBase64Content(article.content);
console.log('📄 Title:', article.title);
console.log('📝 Content preview:', decodedContent.substring(0, 100) + '...');
exports.articleContent = decodedContent;
}
}
}}
```
### Multiple Utility Functions
```http
{{
// Response validator
exports.validateResponse = function(response, actionName) {
const isSuccess = response.statusCode >= 200 && response.statusCode < 300;
console.log(isSuccess ? '✓' : '✗', actionName, `(${response.statusCode})`);
return isSuccess;
};
// Base64 decoder
exports.decodeBase64 = function(encoded) {
return Buffer.from(encoded, 'base64').toString('utf8');
};
// Timestamp formatter
exports.formatTimestamp = function(timestamp) {
return new Date(timestamp * 1000).toISOString();
};
// Safe JSON parser
exports.safeJsonParse = function(str, fallback = {}) {
try {
return JSON.parse(str);
} catch (e) {
console.warn('⚠️ JSON parse failed, using fallback');
return fallback;
}
};
console.log('✓ All utility functions loaded');
}}
```
---
## Test Assertions
### Simple Assertions (Recommended)
Use `??` syntax for direct field assertions (no `js` prefix needed).
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles
# Direct field assertions (no js prefix)
?? status == 200
?? duration < 1000
# Response object access (requires js prefix)
?? js response.parsedBody.status == success
?? js response.parsedBody.data isArray
?? js response.parsedBody.data.length > 0
{{
console.log('✓ All assertions passed');
}}
```
### Assertion Operators
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/123
# Equality
?? js response.parsedBody.id == 123
?? js response.parsedBody.name == John Doe
# Inequality
?? js response.parsedBody.age != 0
# Type checking
?? js response.parsedBody.id isNumber
?? js response.parsedBody.name isString
?? js response.parsedBody.active isBoolean
?? js response.parsedBody.tags isArray
# Existence
?? js response.parsedBody.email exists
?? js response.parsedBody.phone exists
# Comparison
?? js response.parsedBody.age > 18
?? js response.parsedBody.score >= 75
?? js response.parsedBody.price < 100
?? js response.parsedBody.discount <= 50
# Contains (for arrays)
?? js response.parsedBody.tags includes admin
```
**⚠️ CRITICAL RULES:**
1. Direct fields (`status`, `duration`) → No `js` prefix
2. `response` object access → **MUST use `js` prefix**
3. String comparisons → **NO quotes needed**
- ✅ `?? js response.parsedBody.status == success`
- ❌ `?? js response.parsedBody.status == "success"`
### Script-Based Assertions (Complex Logic)
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/users
{{
const assert = require('assert');
const users = response.parsedBody.data;
// Assertion 1: Status code
assert.strictEqual(response.statusCode, 200, 'Expected 200 status');
console.log('✓ Status code is 200');
// Assertion 2: Response has data
assert.ok(users, 'Response should have users data');
console.log('✓ Users data exists');
// Assertion 3: Array is not empty
assert.ok(users.length > 0, 'Users array should not be empty');
console.log('✓ Users array contains', users.length, 'items');
// Assertion 4: Each user has required fields
users.forEach((user, index) => {
assert.ok(user.id, `User ${index} should have ID`);
assert.ok(user.email, `User ${index} should have email`);
assert.ok(user.name, `User ${index} should have name`);
});
console.log('✓ All users have required fields');
}}
```
### Chai Assertions (Fluent API)
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles
{{
const { expect } = require('chai');
test("Response is successful", () => {
expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
});
test("Response contains articles array", () => {
expect(response.parsedBody).to.have.property('data');
expect(response.parsedBody.data).to.be.an('array');
expect(response.parsedBody.data.length).to.be.greaterThan(0);
});
test("First article has required structure", () => {
const article = response.parsedBody.data[0];
expect(article).to.have.property('id');
expect(article).to.have.property('title');
expect(article).to.have.property('author');
expect(article).to.have.property('created_at');
});
test("Article title is not empty", () => {
const article = response.parsedBody.data[0];
expect(article.title).to.be.a('string');
expect(article.title).to.not.be.empty;
});
test("Response time is acceptable", () => {
expect(response.duration).to.be.below(2000); // Less than 2 seconds
});
}}
```
### JSON Schema Validation
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/user/123
{{
const Ajv = require('ajv');
const ajv = new Ajv();
// Define JSON schema
const userSchema = {
type: 'object',
required: ['id', 'name', 'email'],
properties: {
id: { type: 'number' },
name: { type: 'string', minLength: 1 },
email: { type: 'string', format: 'email' },
age: { type: 'number', minimum: 0 },
roles: {
type: 'array',
items: { type: 'string' }
}
}
};
// Validate response against schema
const validate = ajv.compile(userSchema);
const valid = validate(response.parsedBody);
if (valid) {
console.log('✓ Response matches schema');
} else {
console.error('✗ Schema validation failed:');
console.error(validate.errors);
}
}}
```
---
## test() Convenience Methods
httpYac provides shorthand methods for common assertions, simplifying test code without chai/assert libraries.
### Quick Assertions
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/users
{{
// Status code check
test.status(200);
// Response time check (milliseconds)
test.totalTime(300);
// Exact header match
test.header("content-type", "application/json");
// Partial header match
test.headerContains("content-type", "json");
// Body content match
test.responseBody('{"status":"success"}');
// Body existence checks
test.hasResponseBody();
// test.hasNoResponseBody(); // Uncomment for empty response check
}}
```
### Method Reference
| Method | Purpose | Example |
|--------|---------|---------|
| `test.status(code)` | Verify HTTP status code | `test.status(200)` |
| `test.totalTime(ms)` | Max response time check | `test.totalTime(500)` |
| `test.header(name, value)` | Exact header match | `test.header("content-type", "application/json")` |
| `test.headerContains(name, substr)` | Partial header match | `test.headerContains("content-type", "json")` |
| `test.responseBody(content)` | Exact body content match | `test.responseBody('{}')` |
| `test.hasResponseBody()` | Verify body exists | `test.hasResponseBody()` |
| `test.hasNoResponseBody()` | Verify body is empty | `test.hasNoResponseBody()` |
### Usage Patterns
**Basic validation (most common):**
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/api/login
Content-Type: application/json
{
"email": "{{user}}",
"password": "{{password}}"
}
{{
test.status(200);
test.totalTime(1000);
test.headerContains("content-type", "json");
test.hasResponseBody();
// Additional validation
if (response.parsedBody.token) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.token;
console.log('✓ Login successful');
}
}}
```
**Performance monitoring:**
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/heavy-computation
{{
test.status(200);
test.totalTime(2000); // Must complete within 2 seconds
console.log(`⏱️ Response time: ${response.timings.total}ms`);
}}
```
**API contract validation:**
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/users
{{
test.status(200);
test.header("content-type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
test.header("x-api-version", "2.0");
test.hasResponseBody();
}}
```
### When to Use
**Use test() convenience methods when:**
- ✅ Quick validation without external libraries
- ✅ Simple status/header/body checks
- ✅ Performance thresholds
- ✅ Existence checks
**Use test() with chai/assert when:**
- ✅ Complex data structure validation
- ✅ Custom error messages needed
- ✅ Multiple related assertions
- ✅ JSON schema validation
**Example combining both:**
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles
{{
// Quick checks
test.status(200);
test.totalTime(500);
test.hasResponseBody();
// Complex validation with chai
const { expect } = require('chai');
test('Response structure', () => {
expect(response.parsedBody).to.have.property('data');
expect(response.parsedBody.data).to.be.an('array');
expect(response.parsedBody.data.length).to.be.greaterThan(0);
});
test('Article properties', () => {
const article = response.parsedBody.data[0];
expect(article).to.have.all.keys('id', 'title', 'content', 'author');
});
}}
```
---
## Request Chaining
Pass data between requests using `exports` variables.
### Sequential Workflow
```http
# Step 1: Create resource
# @name createArticle
POST {{baseUrl}}/articles
Content-Type: application/json
{
"title": "Test Article",
"content": "Article content here"
}
{{
if (validateResponse(response, 'Create Article')) {
exports.articleId = response.parsedBody.id;
exports.articleSlug = response.parsedBody.slug;
console.log('📝 Article created with ID:', exports.articleId);
}
}}
###
# Step 2: Retrieve created resource
# @name getArticle
GET {{baseUrl}}/articles/{{articleId}}
{{
if (validateResponse(response, 'Get Article')) {
console.log('📄 Retrieved article:', response.parsedBody.title);
}
}}
###
# Step 3: Update resource
# @name updateArticle
PATCH {{baseUrl}}/articles/{{articleId}}
Content-Type: application/json
{
"title": "Updated Article Title"
}
{{
if (validateResponse(response, 'Update Article')) {
console.log('✏️ Article updated successfully');
}
}}
###
# Step 4: Delete resource
# @name deleteArticle
DELETE {{baseUrl}}/articles/{{articleId}}
{{
if (validateResponse(response, 'Delete Article')) {
console.log('🗑️ Article deleted successfully');
}
}}
```
### Parallel Data Collection
```http
# Collect data from multiple endpoints
# Request 1: Get user info
# @name getUser
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/123
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.userName = response.parsedBody.name;
exports.userEmail = response.parsedBody.email;
}
}}
###
# Request 2: Get user's posts
# @name getUserPosts
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/123/posts
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.postCount = response.parsedBody.length;
}
}}
###
# Request 3: Aggregate results
# @name aggregateData
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/123/summary
{{
console.log('👤 User Summary:');
console.log(' Name:', userName);
console.log(' Email:', userEmail);
console.log(' Posts:', postCount);
}}
```
---
## Available Response Object
Access these properties in post-response scripts:
```javascript
response.statusCode // HTTP status code (200, 404, etc.)
response.statusMessage // Status message ("OK", "Not Found", etc.)
response.duration // Request duration in milliseconds
response.headers // Response headers object
response.body // Raw response body (string/buffer)
response.parsedBody // Parsed JSON response (if Content-Type is JSON)
response.contentType // Content-Type header
response.request // Original request object
```
### Example Usage
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
{{
console.log('Status:', response.statusCode, response.statusMessage);
console.log('Duration:', response.duration, 'ms');
console.log('Content-Type:', response.contentType);
console.log('Headers:', JSON.stringify(response.headers, null, 2));
// Access specific header
const rateLimit = response.headers['x-ratelimit-remaining'];
console.log('Rate limit remaining:', rateLimit);
// Work with parsed body
if (response.parsedBody) {
console.log('Data:', JSON.stringify(response.parsedBody, null, 2));
}
}}
```
---
## Available Request Object
Access request details in both pre and post-request scripts:
```javascript
request.url // Full request URL
request.method // HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.)
request.headers // Request headers
request.body // Request body
```
### Example Usage
```http
{{
console.log('About to send:');
console.log(' Method:', request.method);
console.log(' URL:', request.url);
console.log(' Headers:', JSON.stringify(request.headers, null, 2));
}}
POST {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "test"
}
{{
console.log('Request completed in', response.duration, 'ms');
}}
```
---
## Node.js Modules
httpYac scripts run in Node.js context. You can use any built-in or installed modules.
### Built-in Modules
```http
{{
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const os = require('os');
// File operations
const data = fs.readFileSync('./config.json', 'utf8');
// Path operations
const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'data', 'test.json');
// Crypto operations
const hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update('data').digest('hex');
// System info
console.log('Platform:', os.platform());
console.log('Hostname:', os.hostname());
}}
```
### External Modules (require package installation)
```http
{{
const axios = require('axios'); // HTTP client
const uuid = require('uuid'); // UUID generator
const moment = require('moment'); // Date manipulation
const lodash = require('lodash'); // Utility functions
const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken'); // JWT operations
// Generate UUID
exports.requestId = uuid.v4();
// Format date
exports.timestamp = moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss');
// Use lodash
const sorted = lodash.sortBy([3, 1, 2]);
}}
```
**Note:** Install packages in your project:
```bash
npm install axios uuid moment lodash jsonwebtoken
```
---
## Best Practices
### 1. Function Naming
```http
{{
// ✅ Export functions for use in later requests
exports.validateResponse = function(response, actionName) { };
exports.decodeBase64 = function(encoded) { };
// ❌ Don't use exports when calling
// exports.validateResponse(response, 'Test'); // WRONG
// ✅ Call without exports
validateResponse(response, 'Test'); // CORRECT
}}
```
### 2. Error Handling
```http
{{
try {
const data = JSON.parse(someString);
exports.parsedData = data;
} catch (error) {
console.error('✗ Parse error:', error.message);
exports.parsedData = null;
}
}}
```
### 3. Logging
```http
{{
// Use emoji for visual distinction
console.log('✓ Success message');
console.warn('⚠️ Warning message');
console.error('✗ Error message');
console.log('📊 Data:', data);
console.log('⏱️ Time:', duration);
console.log('🚀 Starting...');
}}
```
### 4. Variable Management
```http
# ✅ Environment variables at top
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@apiKey = {{API_KEY}}
{{
// ✅ Dynamic variables in scripts
exports.timestamp = Date.now();
exports.nonce = require('uuid').v4();
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
X-API-Key: {{apiKey}}
X-Timestamp: {{timestamp}}
```
### 5. Reusable Utilities
Put common functions at the top of file for reuse:
```http
# ============================================================
# Utility Functions
# ============================================================
{{
exports.validateResponse = function(response, actionName) {
// Implementation
};
exports.decodeBase64 = function(encoded) {
// Implementation
};
console.log('✓ Utilities loaded');
}}
###
# ============================================================
# API Requests
# ============================================================
# All requests below can use utility functions
```
---
## Common Issues
### Issue 1: Function Not Defined
**Symptom:** `ReferenceError: functionName is not defined`
**Cause:** Function not exported or called with `exports.` prefix
**Fix:**
```http
{{
// Define with exports.
exports.myFunction = function() { };
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/test
{{
// Call WITHOUT exports.
myFunction(); // ✅ Correct
// exports.myFunction(); // ❌ Wrong
}}
```
### Issue 2: Variable Not Persisting
**Symptom:** Variable works in one request but undefined in next
**Cause:** Using `const`/`let` instead of `exports`
**Fix:**
```http
{{
// ❌ Wrong - local variable
const token = response.parsedBody.token;
// ✅ Correct - persists across requests
exports.token = response.parsedBody.token;
}}
```
### Issue 3: Assertion Syntax Error
**Symptom:** Assertion fails unexpectedly
**Fix:** Check `js` prefix usage
```http
# ✅ Direct fields - no js prefix
?? status == 200
?? duration < 1000
# ✅ Response object - js prefix required
?? js response.parsedBody.status == success
?? js response.parsedBody.data isArray
```
---
## Quick Reference
**Pre-request script:**
```http
{{ /* JavaScript before request */ }}
GET {{baseUrl}}/endpoint
```
**Post-response script:**
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/endpoint
{{ /* JavaScript after response */ }}
```
**Export variables:**
```javascript
exports.variableName = value; // Persists across requests
```
**Call exported functions:**
```javascript
functionName(); // NO exports. prefix
```
**Simple assertions:**
```http
?? status == 200
?? js response.parsedBody.field == value
```
**Complex assertions:**
```javascript
const { expect } = require('chai');
test("Description", () => {
expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
});
```

# Security Configuration for httpYac
Complete security guide for protecting credentials, preventing secret leaks, and securing API testing workflows.
## Git Security
### Essential .gitignore Configuration
**Immediately add to `.gitignore`:**
```gitignore
# httpYac: Protect environment files with secrets
.env
.env.local
.env.*.local
.env.production
.env.staging
.env.test
# httpYac: Ignore cache and output files
.httpyac.log
.httpyac.cache
*.httpyac.cache
httpyac-output/
httpyac-report/
# httpYac: Ignore temporary test data
test-data-sensitive/
api-responses/
# Node.js (if using npm packages)
node_modules/
package-lock.json
```
### .env.example Template (Safe for Git)
**File: `.env.example`**
```env
# API Configuration
API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
API_USER=your-email@example.com
API_TOKEN=your-token-here
# Authentication
CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
# Optional Settings
DEBUG=false
LOG_LEVEL=info
TIMEOUT=30000
# Feature Flags
ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL=false
```
**Include setup instructions:**
```markdown
## Setup
1. Copy environment template:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
2. Edit `.env` with your actual credentials
3. Never commit `.env` to git
## Required Variables
- `API_BASE_URL` - API endpoint URL
- `API_TOKEN` - Your API authentication token
- `API_USER` - Your API username/email
```
---
## Protecting Secrets
### Rule 1: Never Hardcode Credentials
**❌ NEVER DO THIS:**
```http
# DON'T HARDCODE SECRETS
GET https://api.example.com/data
Authorization: Bearer sk-abc123def456ghi789 # EXPOSED!
POST https://api.example.com/login
Content-Type: application/json
{
"username": "admin@company.com", # EXPOSED!
"password": "SuperSecret123!" # EXPOSED!
}
```
**✅ ALWAYS USE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES:**
```http
# Load from environment
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@token = {{API_TOKEN}}
@user = {{API_USER}}
@password = {{API_PASSWORD}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/data
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
###
POST {{baseUrl}}/login
Content-Type: application/json
{
"username": "{{user}}",
"password": "{{password}}"
}
```
### Rule 2: Use $processEnv for Sensitive Data
```http
{{
// Load from environment (not stored in file)
exports.apiKey = $processEnv.API_KEY;
exports.clientSecret = $processEnv.CLIENT_SECRET;
exports.privateKey = $processEnv.PRIVATE_KEY;
// Verify secrets are loaded
if (!exports.apiKey) {
console.error('✗ API_KEY not found in environment');
throw new Error('Missing API_KEY');
}
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
X-API-Key: {{apiKey}}
```
### Rule 3: Minimal Logging of Secrets
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
Content-Type: application/json
{
"client_id": "{{clientId}}",
"client_secret": "{{clientSecret}}"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
// ✅ Safe logging (truncated)
console.log('✓ Token obtained:', exports.accessToken.substring(0, 10) + '...');
// ❌ NEVER log full token
// console.log('Token:', exports.accessToken); // DON'T DO THIS!
}
}}
```
---
## Environment-Specific Security
### Development Environment
**File: `.env`**
```env
# Development - Less strict security
API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
API_TOKEN=dev_token_12345
REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=false # Allow self-signed certs
DEBUG=true
LOG_LEVEL=debug
```
**Configuration: `.httpyac.json`**
```json
{
"environments": {
"dev": {
"logLevel": "debug"
}
},
"request": {
"rejectUnauthorized": false
}
}
}
```
### Production Environment
**File: `.env.production` (NEVER commit)**
```env
# Production - Maximum security
API_BASE_URL=https://api.production.com
API_TOKEN=prod_secure_token_abc123xyz789
REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=true # Strict SSL verification
DEBUG=false
LOG_LEVEL=error
```
**Configuration: `httpyac.config.js`**
```javascript
module.exports = {
environments: {
production: {
logLevel: 'error'
}
},
request: {
rejectUnauthorized: true, // Always verify SSL in production
timeout: 60000
},
log: {
level: 'error',
// Don't log request/response bodies in production
options: {
requestOutput: false,
responseOutput: false
}
}
};
```
---
## SSL/TLS Configuration
### Trust Custom Certificates
**For development with self-signed certificates:**
```javascript
// httpyac.config.js
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
request: {
// Development: Allow self-signed certs
rejectUnauthorized: process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production',
// Custom CA certificate
ca: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'certs', 'ca.crt')),
// Client certificate authentication
cert: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'certs', 'client.crt')),
key: fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'certs', 'client.key'))
}
};
```
**⚠️ Security Warning:**
- **NEVER** disable SSL verification in production
- **NEVER** commit certificate files to git
- **ALWAYS** use proper SSL certificates in production
### Environment-Based SSL Configuration
```http
{{
const isProd = $processEnv.NODE_ENV === 'production';
if (!isProd) {
console.warn('⚠️ SSL verification disabled (development only)');
} else {
console.log('✓ SSL verification enabled (production)');
}
}}
```
---
## Credential Management Strategies
### Strategy 1: Environment Variables (Recommended)
**Best for:** Most use cases, team collaboration, CI/CD
```env
# .env
API_TOKEN=your_token_here
```
```http
@token = {{API_TOKEN}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
```
**Pros:**
- Standard approach
- Easy to manage
- Works with CI/CD
- .gitignore protection
**Cons:**
- Visible in process environment
- Needs setup for each team member
### Strategy 2: Secret Management Services
**Best for:** Enterprise, production environments, regulated industries
**Using AWS Secrets Manager:**
```http
{{
const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const secretsManager = new AWS.SecretsManager();
async function getSecret(secretName) {
const data = await secretsManager.getSecretValue({
SecretId: secretName
}).promise();
return JSON.parse(data.SecretString);
}
const secrets = await getSecret('api-credentials');
exports.apiToken = secrets.API_TOKEN;
exports.clientSecret = secrets.CLIENT_SECRET;
}}
```
**Using HashiCorp Vault:**
```http
{{
const axios = require('axios');
async function getVaultSecret(path) {
const vaultToken = $processEnv.VAULT_TOKEN;
const vaultAddr = $processEnv.VAULT_ADDR;
const response = await axios.get(`${vaultAddr}/v1/secret/data/${path}`, {
headers: { 'X-Vault-Token': vaultToken }
});
return response.data.data.data;
}
const secrets = await getVaultSecret('api-credentials');
exports.apiToken = secrets.token;
}}
```
### Strategy 3: Encrypted Configuration Files
**Best for:** Local development, single-user environments
**Using git-crypt:**
```bash
# Install git-crypt
brew install git-crypt # macOS
apt install git-crypt # Linux
# Initialize in repository
git-crypt init
# Create .gitattributes
echo ".env filter=git-crypt diff=git-crypt" >> .gitattributes
echo "secrets/** filter=git-crypt diff=git-crypt" >> .gitattributes
# Encrypt files
git-crypt lock
```
---
## Token Rotation Best Practices
### Automatic Token Refresh
```http
{{
// Check token expiry and refresh if needed
exports.ensureValidToken = async function() {
const now = Date.now();
const expiryBuffer = 5 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes
// Check if token will expire soon
if (!accessToken || !expiresAt || (now + expiryBuffer) >= expiresAt) {
console.log('⟳ Token expired or expiring soon, refreshing...');
const axios = require('axios');
const response = await axios.post(
`${baseUrl}/oauth/token`,
{
grant_type: 'refresh_token',
refresh_token: refreshToken,
client_id: clientId,
client_secret: clientSecret
}
);
exports.accessToken = response.data.access_token;
exports.refreshToken = response.data.refresh_token;
exports.expiresAt = now + (response.data.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Token refreshed, expires in', response.data.expires_in, 'seconds');
} else {
const timeLeft = Math.floor((expiresAt - now) / 1000);
console.log('✓ Token valid for', timeLeft, 'more seconds');
}
};
}}
###
# Protected request with auto-refresh
{{
await ensureValidToken();
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/protected
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
### Token Expiry Notifications
```http
{{
// Check token expiry and warn if expiring soon
if (expiresAt) {
const now = Date.now();
const timeLeft = Math.floor((expiresAt - now) / 1000);
const hoursLeft = Math.floor(timeLeft / 3600);
if (timeLeft < 0) {
console.error('✗ Token expired', Math.abs(timeLeft), 'seconds ago');
} else if (timeLeft < 300) { // Less than 5 minutes
console.warn('⚠️ Token expires in', timeLeft, 'seconds!');
} else if (hoursLeft < 1) { // Less than 1 hour
console.log('⏰ Token expires in', Math.floor(timeLeft / 60), 'minutes');
} else {
console.log('✓ Token valid for', hoursLeft, 'hours');
}
}
}}
```

---
## Common Security Issues
### Issue 1: Secrets Committed to Git
**Detection:**
```bash
# Search git history for potential secrets
git log -p | grep -i "password\|token\|secret\|api_key"
# Use tools like truffleHog or git-secrets
truffleHog --regex --entropy=False .
```
**Removal:**
```bash
# Remove file from git history
git filter-branch --force --index-filter \
"git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch .env" \
--prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all
# Alternative: Use BFG Repo-Cleaner (faster)
bfg --delete-files .env
git reflog expire --expire=now --all
git gc --prune=now --aggressive
# Force push to remote
git push origin --force --all
```
**After removal:**
1. Rotate all exposed credentials immediately
2. Add to .gitignore
3. Audit access logs for unauthorized usage
### Issue 2: Environment Variables Exposed in Logs
**Problem:**
```http
{{
console.log('Config:', {
baseUrl,
apiToken, // ❌ Token exposed in logs!
clientSecret // ❌ Secret exposed in logs!
});
}}
```
**Solution:**
```http
{{
// Redact sensitive values in logs
function redactSensitive(obj) {
const redacted = { ...obj };
const sensitiveKeys = ['token', 'secret', 'password', 'key'];
for (const key of Object.keys(redacted)) {
if (sensitiveKeys.some(s => key.toLowerCase().includes(s))) {
const value = redacted[key];
if (value && typeof value === 'string') {
redacted[key] = value.substring(0, 4) + '***';
}
}
}
return redacted;
}
console.log('Config:', redactSensitive({
baseUrl,
apiToken,
clientSecret
}));
// Output: Config: { baseUrl: '...', apiToken: 'sk-a***', clientSecret: 'cs_1***' }
}}
```
### Issue 3: Insecure File Permissions
**Check permissions:**
```bash
# .env should be readable only by owner
chmod 600 .env
# Verify
ls -la .env
# Should show: -rw------- (600)
```
**Set secure permissions:**
```bash
# .env files
chmod 600 .env*
# httpYac config files
chmod 644 .httpyac.json
chmod 644 httpyac.config.js
# .http files
chmod 644 *.http
```

git secrets --add 'API_TOKEN=[A-Za-z0-9]+'
git secrets --add 'password\s*=\s*.+'
# Scan repository
git secrets --scan
git secrets --scan-history
```
### truffleHog (Detect Secrets in History)
```bash
# Install
pip install truffleHog
# Scan repository
truffleHog --regex --entropy=True .
# Scan specific branch
truffleHog --regex https://github.com/user/repo.git
```
### detect-secrets (Pre-commit Hook)
```bash
# Install
pip install detect-secrets
# Create baseline
detect-secrets scan > .secrets.baseline

## Secure Credential Storage on Different Platforms
### macOS Keychain
```http
{{
const { exec } = require('child_process');
const util = require('util');
const execPromise = util.promisify(exec);
async function getKeychainSecret(service, account) {
try {
const { stdout } = await execPromise(
`security find-generic-password -s "${service}" -a "${account}" -w`
);
return stdout.trim();
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to retrieve from keychain:', error.message);
return null;
}
}
exports.apiToken = await getKeychainSecret('api-service', 'token');
}}
```
### Linux Secret Service
```http
{{
const keytar = require('keytar');
async function getSecret(service, account) {
try {
return await keytar.getPassword(service, account);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to retrieve secret:', error.message);
return null;
}
}
exports.apiToken = await getSecret('api-service', 'token');
}}
```
### Windows Credential Manager
```http
{{
const credentialManager = require('node-credential-manager');
function getWindowsCredential(target) {
try {
return credentialManager.getCredential(target);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to retrieve credential:', error.message);
return null;
}
}
const cred = getWindowsCredential('api-service-token');
exports.apiToken = cred ? cred.password : null;
}}
```

## Request Basics
### Request Separator
**CRITICAL:** All requests MUST be separated by `###`:
```http
GET https://api.example.com/users
###
POST https://api.example.com/users
```
### Request Line Format
```http
METHOD URL [HTTP/VERSION]
```
**Examples:**
```http
GET https://api.example.com/users
POST https://api.example.com/users HTTP/1.1
PUT {{baseUrl}}/users/123
DELETE {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
```
### Request Naming
Use `# @name` to name requests for reference chaining:
```http
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
###
# @name getUsers
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{login.response.parsedBody.token}}
```
---
## Variables
### Variable Declaration Syntax
**Option 1: Inline Variables (@ syntax)**
```http
@baseUrl = https://api.example.com
@token = abc123
```
**Option 2: JavaScript Block ({{ }} syntax)**
```http
{{
baseUrl = "https://api.example.com";
token = "abc123";
userId = 123;
}}
```
**DO NOT MIX BOTH STYLES IN SAME FILE**
### Variable Interpolation
Use `{{variableName}}` to interpolate:
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
```
### Variable Types
#### 1. Process Environment Variables
```http
{{
baseUrl = $processEnv.API_BASE_URL;
token = $processEnv.API_TOKEN;
}}
```
#### 2. Global Variables (Cross-Request)
```http
# First request - set variable via exports
POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.token;
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.id;
}
}}
###
# Use in next request - variables persist across requests
GET {{baseUrl}}/users/{{userId}}
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
**Note:** Variables set via `exports` in scripts are available globally to all subsequent requests.
#### 3. Dynamic Variables
```http
{{
uuid = $uuid; // UUID v4
timestamp = $timestamp; // Unix timestamp
randomInt = $randomInt; // Random 0-1000
datetime = $datetime; // ISO datetime
guid = $guid; // GUID
}}
```
#### 4. User Input Variables
```http
{{
apiKey = $input "Enter API Key";
password = $password "Enter Password";
env = $pick "dev" "test" "prod";
}}
```
---
## Headers
### Basic Headers
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
User-Agent: httpYac/1.0
X-Custom-Header: value
```
### Headers with Variables
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
X-Request-ID: {{$uuid}}
X-Timestamp: {{$timestamp}}
```
### Multiline Header Values
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9
.eyJzdWIiOiIxMjM0NTY3ODkwIn0
.SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c
```
---
## Request Body
### No Body
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
```
### JSON Body
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "John Doe",
"email": "john@example.com",
"age": 30
}
```
### JSON with Variables
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/users
Content-Type: application/json
{
"name": "{{userName}}",
"email": "{{userEmail}}",
"timestamp": {{$timestamp}}
}
```
### Form Data
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/upload
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
name=John+Doe&email=john@example.com
```
### Multipart Form Data
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/upload
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----Boundary
------Boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="field1"
value1
------Boundary
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain
< ./files/test.txt
------Boundary--
```
### GraphQL
```http
POST {{baseUrl}}/graphql
Content-Type: application/json
{
"query": "query GetUser($id: ID!) { user(id: $id) { id name email } }",
"variables": {
"id": "{{userId}}"
}
}
```
---
## Scripts
### Script Execution Timing
httpYac provides multiple script execution contexts with different timing:
#### 1. Standard Script Blocks `{{ }}`
Position determines when the script executes:
**Pre-request (before request line):**
```http
{{
// Executes BEFORE sending request
exports.timestamp = Date.now();
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users?timestamp={{timestamp}}
```
**Post-response (after request line):**
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
// Executes AFTER receiving response
console.log('Status:', response.statusCode);
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.id;
}}
```
#### 2. Event-Based Scripts `{{@event}}`
Explicit control over execution timing in the request pipeline:
| Event | Timing | Use Case |
|-------|--------|----------|
| `{{@request}}` | Before every request (post-variable replacement) | Modify request headers, inject auth tokens |
| `{{@streaming}}` | During client streaming | Send streaming data to server |
| `{{@response}}` | Upon receiving response | Process response data |
| `{{@responseLogging}}` | During response output | Alter response display format |
| `{{@after}}` | After all processing completes | Cleanup, final logging |
**Example:**
```http
{{@request
// Runs right before sending request
request.headers['X-Request-Time'] = new Date().toISOString();
console.log('→ Sending request to', request.url);
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{@response
// Runs immediately upon receiving response
console.log('← Response received:', response.statusCode);
}}
{{@after
// Runs after all processing
console.log('✓ Request completed');
}}
```
#### 3. Global Scripts `{{+}}` or `{{+event}}`
Execute for ALL requests in the file:
```http
{{+
// Runs for every request in this file
exports.globalHeader = 'my-app-v1.0';
console.log('🌍 Global script executed');
}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
X-App-Version: {{globalHeader}}
###
GET {{baseUrl}}/orders
X-App-Version: {{globalHeader}}
```
**With events:**
```http
{{+@request
// Runs before EVERY request in this file
request.headers['X-Timestamp'] = Date.now().toString();
}}
{{+@response
// Runs after EVERY response in this file
console.log('Duration:', response.duration, 'ms');
}}
```
#### Script Execution Order
For a single request, scripts execute in this order:
1. Global pre-request scripts (`{{+}}` or `{{+@request}}`)
2. Request-specific pre-request scripts (`{{}}` before request)
3. `{{@request}}` event scripts
4. **HTTP request sent**
5. `{{@streaming}}` (if applicable)
6. **HTTP response received**
7. `{{@response}}` event scripts
8. Request-specific post-response scripts (`{{}}` after request)
9. `{{@responseLogging}}` event scripts
10. Global post-response scripts (`{{+@response}}`)
11. `{{@after}}` event scripts
### Pre-Request Scripts
Execute BEFORE request is sent. Place `{{ }}` block **before** the request line:
```http
{{
// Set dynamic variables
exports.timestamp = Date.now();
exports.requestId = require('uuid').v4();
// Fetch external data
const axios = require('axios');
const config = await axios.get('https://config.example.com');
exports.baseUrl = config.data.url;
// Conditional logic
if (environment === 'production') {
console.log('⚠️ Running against production');
}
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users?timestamp={{timestamp}}
X-Request-ID: {{requestId}}
```
**Note:** Use `exports.variableName` to make variables available in the request.
### Post-Response Scripts
Execute AFTER receiving response. Place `{{ }}` block **after** the request:
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
// Log response
console.log('Status:', response.statusCode);
console.log('Duration:', response.duration, 'ms');
// Extract data for next request (using exports for global scope)
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.userId = response.parsedBody.data[0].id;
exports.userName = response.parsedBody.data[0].name;
}
// Error handling
if (response.statusCode >= 400) {
console.error('Error:', response.parsedBody.message);
}
}}
```
**Note:** Variables set via `exports` in response scripts are available in subsequent requests.
### Available Objects in Scripts
**Pre-Request Scripts ({{ }} before request or {{@request}}):**
- `request` - Upcoming request object (can be modified)
- `exports` - Export variables for use in request/later requests
- `$global` - Persistent global object across all requests
- `httpFile` - Current HTTP file metadata
- `httpRegion` - Current request region details
- All declared variables
- Node.js modules via `require()`
**Post-Response Scripts ({{ }} after request or {{@response}}):**
- `response` - Response object
- `response.statusCode` - HTTP status code
- `response.headers` - Response headers
- `response.parsedBody` - Parsed response body (JSON, XML, etc.)
- `response.body` - Raw response body
- `response.duration` - Request duration in ms
- `response.timings` - Detailed timing breakdown
- `request` - Original request object
- `exports` - Export variables for use in later requests
- `$global` - Persistent global object
- All declared variables
- Node.js modules via `require()`
**Special Variables:**
- `$global` - Persistent storage across requests (critical for `@loop`)
- `__dirname` and `__filename` - Module path information
- `console` - Custom console object (output to httpYac panel)
### Cancelling Request Execution
Export `$cancel` to stop execution:
```http
{{
// Check if API is available
const axios = require('axios');
try {
await axios.get('{{baseUrl}}/health');
} catch (error) {
console.error('❌ API is down, cancelling request');
exports.$cancel = true; // Stops execution
}
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
# This request won't execute if health check fails
```
### Test Assertions
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
// Using Node's assert module
const assert = require('assert');
assert.strictEqual(response.statusCode, 200);
assert.ok(response.parsedBody.data);
// Using test() helper with Chai expect
const { expect } = require('chai');
test("Status is 200", () => {
expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
});
test("Response has users array", () => {
expect(response.parsedBody.data).to.be.an('array');
expect(response.parsedBody.data).to.have.length.greaterThan(0);
});
test("First user has required fields", () => {
const user = response.parsedBody.data[0];
expect(user).to.have.property('id');
expect(user).to.have.property('name');
expect(user).to.have.property('email');
});
}}
```

## Authentication
### Bearer Token
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/protected
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
### Basic Auth
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/protected
Authorization: Basic {{username}}:{{password}}
```
### OAuth2 (Built-in)
Configure in `.httpyac.json`, then:
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/protected
Authorization: Bearer {{$oauth2 myFlow access_token}}
```
### Auto-Fetch Token Pattern
```http
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/oauth/token
Content-Type: application/json
{
"grant_type": "client_credentials",
"client_id": "{{clientId}}",
"client_secret": "{{clientSecret}}"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
exports.expiresAt = Date.now() + (response.parsedBody.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Token obtained');
}
}}
###
# All subsequent requests use the token
GET {{baseUrl}}/protected
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
### Token Refresh Pattern
```http
{{
async function ensureValidToken() {
if (!accessToken || Date.now() >= expiresAt) {
const axios = require('axios');
const response = await axios.post(`${baseUrl}/oauth/refresh`, {
refresh_token: refreshToken
});
exports.accessToken = response.data.access_token;
exports.expiresAt = Date.now() + (response.data.expires_in * 1000);
console.log('✓ Token refreshed');
}
}
await ensureValidToken();
}}
GET {{baseUrl}}/protected
Authorization: Bearer {{accessToken}}
```
---
## Comments and Metadata
### Single-Line Comments
```http
# This is a comment
// This is also a comment
```
### Multi-Line Comments
```http
###
# This is a multi-line comment
# Describing the API endpoint
###
```
### Request Metadata
```http
# @name requestName
# @description Request description
# @forceEnv production
# @ref otherRequestName
# @import ./other-file.http
```
**Available Metadata:**
- `@name` - Name the request for chaining

## Complete Assertion Operators
Assertions use `??` operator for validation. Common operators cover 90% of use cases.
### Basic Comparison
```http
?? status == 200 # Equal
?? status != 201 # Not equal
?? status > 199 # Greater than
?? status >= 200 # Greater than or equal
?? status < 300 # Less than
?? status <= 299 # Less than or equal
```
### String Operations
```http
?? status startsWith 20 # Prefix match
?? status endsWith 00 # Suffix match
?? header content-type includes json # Substring
?? header content-type contains application # Substring (alias)
```
### Type Checking
```http
?? js response.parsedBody.data isArray # Array type
?? js response.parsedBody.count isNumber # Number type
?? js response.parsedBody.name isString # String type
?? js response.parsedBody.active isBoolean # Boolean type
?? js response.parsedBody.name exists # Property exists
?? js response.parsedBody.optional isFalse # Falsy check
```
### Advanced (Less Common)
```http
# Regex matching
?? js response.parsedBody.email matches ^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$
# Hash validation
?? body sha256 eji/gfOD9pQzrW6QDTWz4jhVk/dqe3q11DVbi6Qe4ks=
?? body md5 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592
?? body sha512
# XPath for XML responses
?? xpath /root/element exists
?? xpath /root/element == "value"
```
**Most Common (90% of use cases):**
- Comparison: `==`, `!=`, `>`, `<`
- Existence: `exists`, `isFalse`
- Type checking: `isArray`, `isNumber`, `isString`
- String matching: `includes`, `startsWith`
**Example Usage:**
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/articles
?? status == 200
?? js response.parsedBody.status == success
?? js response.parsedBody.data isArray
?? js response.parsedBody.data.length > 0
?? js response.parsedBody.count isNumber
?? duration < 1000
{{
console.log(`✓ Retrieved ${response.parsedBody.data.length} articles`);
}}
```

# httpYac 语法速查表
## 基本结构
```http
### 请求分隔符(必需)
# @name requestName # 请求名称(用于引用)
# @description 描述 # 悬停可见的详细描述
GET {{baseUrl}}/endpoint
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
Content-Type: application/json
{ "data": "value" }
{{ # 响应后脚本
exports.nextId = response.parsedBody.id;
}}
```
## 变量定义
```http
### 文件顶部定义
@baseUrl = {{API_BASE_URL}}
@token = {{API_TOKEN}}
### 脚本中定义(请求前)
{{
exports.userId = "123"; // 供请求中使用
exports.timestamp = Date.now();
}}
### 响应后存储
{{
exports.newToken = response.parsedBody.token;
}}
```
## 认证模式
### Bearer Token
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
```
### 基础认证
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/api/data
Authorization: Basic {{username}}:{{password}}
```
### 自动获取 Token
```http
# @name login
POST {{baseUrl}}/oauth/token
Content-Type: application/json
{
"grant_type": "client_credentials",
"client_id": "{{clientId}}",
"client_secret": "{{clientSecret}}"
}
{{
if (response.statusCode === 200) {
exports.accessToken = response.parsedBody.access_token;
}
}}
```
## 测试断言
```http
GET {{baseUrl}}/users
{{
const assert = require('assert');
assert.strictEqual(response.statusCode, 200);
assert.ok(response.parsedBody.data);
// 使用 Chai
const { expect } = require('chai');
test("状态码为 200", () => {
expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
});
}}
```
## 环境配置
```json
// .httpyac.json
{
"environments": {
"dev": {
"baseUrl": "http://localhost:3000",
"token": "{{$processEnv API_TOKEN}}"
},
"prod": {
"baseUrl": "https://api.example.com"
}
}
}
```
## 动态变量
```http
{{
uuid = $uuid; // UUID v4
timestamp = $timestamp; // Unix 时间戳
randomInt = $randomInt; // 随机整数
datetime = $datetime; // ISO 时间
}}
```
## 常见错误
- ❌ `exports.baseUrl = process.env.API_URL` // 错误
- ✅ `@baseUrl = {{API_URL}}` // 正确
- ❌ 忘记 `###` 分隔符
- ✅ 每个请求之间用 `###` 分隔

name: vscode-port-monitor-config
description: This skill should be used when configuring VS Code Port Monitor extension for development server monitoring. Use when the user asks to "set up port monitoring for Vite", "monitor my dev server ports", "configure port monitor for Next.js", "track which ports are running", "set up multi-port monitoring", "monitor frontend and backend ports", or "check port status in VS Code". Provides ready-to-use configuration templates for Vite (5173), Next.js (3000), and microservices architectures with troubleshooting guidance.
---
# VS Code Port Monitor Configuration
Configure the VS Code Port Monitor extension to monitor development server ports in real-time with visual status indicators in your status bar.
**Extension**: [dkurokawa.vscode-port-monitor](https://github.com/dkurokawa/vscode-port-monitor)
## Core Concepts
### Port Monitor Features
- 🔍 **Real-time monitoring** - Live status bar display
- 🏷️ **Intelligent configuration** - Supports arrays, ranges, well-known ports
- 🛑 **Process management** - Kill processes using ports
- 🎨 **Customizable display** - Icons, colors, positioning
- 📊 **Multiple groups** - Organize ports by service/project
### Status Icons
- 🟢 = Port is in use (service running)
- ⚪️ = Port is free (service stopped)
---
## Configuration Workflow
### Step 1: Create Configuration File
Add configuration to `.vscode/settings.json`:
```json
{
"portMonitor.hosts": {
"GroupName": {
"port": "label",
"__CONFIG": { ... }
}
}
}
```
### Step 2: Choose a Template
Select from common scenarios (see examples/ directory):
| Scenario | Template File | Ports |
|----------|--------------|-------|
| Vite basic | `vite-basic.json` | 5173 (dev) |
| Vite with preview | `vite-with-preview.json` | 5173 (dev), 4173 (preview) |
| Full stack | `fullstack.json` | 5173, 4173, 3200 |
| Next.js | `nextjs.json` | 3000 (app), 3001 (api) |
| Microservices | `microservices.json` | Multiple groups |
### Step 3: Apply Configuration
1. Copy template content to `.vscode/settings.json`
2. Customize port numbers and labels for your project
3. Save file - Port Monitor will auto-reload
---
## Quick Start Examples
### Example 1: Vite Project
```json
{
"portMonitor.hosts": {
"Development": {
"5173": "dev",
"__CONFIG": {
"compact": true,
"bgcolor": "blue",
"show_title": true
}
}
},
"portMonitor.statusIcons": {
"inUse": "🟢 ",
"free": "⚪️ "
}
}
```
**Display**: `Development: [🟢 dev:5173]`
### Example 2: Microservices
```json
{
"portMonitor.hosts": {
"Frontend": {
"3000": "react",
"__CONFIG": { "compact": true, "bgcolor": "blue", "show_title": true }
},
"Backend": {
"3001": "api",
"5432": "postgres",
"__CONFIG": { "compact": true, "bgcolor": "yellow", "show_title": true }
}
}
}
```
**Display**: `Frontend: [🟢 react:3000] Backend: [🟢 api:3001 | 🟢 postgres:5432]`
---
## Best Practices
### ✅ Do
- Use descriptive labels: `"5173": "dev"` not `"5173": "5173"`
- Add space after emojis: `"🟢 "` for better readability
- Group related ports: Frontend, Backend, Database
- Use compact mode for cleaner status bar
- Set reasonable refresh interval (3000-5000ms)
### ❌ Don't
- Reverse port-label format: `"dev": 5173` ❌
- Use empty group names
- Set refresh interval too low (<1000ms)
- Monitor too many ports (>10 per group)
---
## Common Issues
### Port Monitor Not Showing
1. Check extension is installed: `code --list-extensions | grep port-monitor`
2. Verify `.vscode/settings.json` syntax
3. Reload VS Code: `Cmd+Shift+P` → "Reload Window"
### Configuration Errors
Check port-label format is correct:
```json
// ✅ Correct
{"5173": "dev"}
// ❌ Wrong
{"dev": 5173}
```

- **Examples**: `examples/` - Ready-to-use JSON configurations
---
## Workflow Summary
1. **Choose template** from examples/ directory based on your stack
2. **Copy to** `.vscode/settings.json`
3. **Customize** port numbers and labels
4. **Save** and verify status bar display
5. **Troubleshoot** if needed using references/troubleshooting.md
Port Monitor will automatically detect running services and update the status bar in real-time.

# Troubleshooting Guide
## Issue 1: Port Monitor Not Showing
**Symptoms**: Status bar doesn't show port status
**Solutions**:
1. Check if extension is installed:
```bash
code --list-extensions | grep port-monitor
```
2. Verify configuration in `.vscode/settings.json`
3. Reload VS Code window: `Cmd+Shift+P` → "Reload Window"
## Issue 2: Configuration Errors
**Symptoms**: "Port Monitor: Configuration Error" in status bar
**Common causes**:
- Reversed port-label format
- Empty host name
- Invalid JSON syntax
**Fix**: Check configuration format:
```json
// ❌ Wrong
{
"localhost": {
"dev": 5173 // Reversed!
}
}
// ✅ Correct
{
"localhost": {
"5173": "dev"
}
}
```
## Issue 3: Ports Not Detected
**Symptoms**: All ports show as ⚪️ (free) when they're actually in use
**Solutions**:
1. Check if ports are actually in use:
```bash
lsof -i :5173
```
2. Increase refresh interval:
```json
{
"portMonitor.intervalMs": 5000
}
```
3. Check port permissions (some ports require sudo)
## Issue 4: Process Kill Not Working
**Symptoms**: "Kill Process" option doesn't terminate process
**Solutions**:
1. Ensure feature is enabled:
```json
{
"portMonitor.enableProcessKill": true
}
```
2. Check process permissions (may need sudo for system processes)
3. Use manual kill:
```bash
lsof -ti :5173 | xargs kill -9
```

name: vscode-sftp-config
description: This skill should be used when setting up SFTP deployment for static websites to production servers, including converting projects from Docker/Express to static hosting, deploying Vue/React/Angular builds, setting up Slidev presentations, or configuring Hugo/Jekyll/Gatsby sites. Use this when the user asks to "setup SFTP deployment", "deploy static site to server", "configure Nginx for static files", "convert from Docker to static hosting", "deploy Vue build to production", "setup subdomain hosting", or "configure SFTP in VS Code". Provides SFTP configuration templates and production-ready Nginx configurations with security headers and caching.
---
# VSCode SFTP Configuration
Configure VSCode SFTP for deploying static websites to production servers. Provides complete workflow including production-ready Nginx configuration templates with security headers, caching strategies, and performance optimizations.
## Core Workflow
### Step 1: Analyze Project Structure
Identify the static files to deploy:
- **Pure static projects**: HTML, CSS, JS in root directory
- **Build-based projects**: Look for `dist/`, `build/`, or `public/` output directories
- **Static generators**: Check for build commands in `package.json` or documentation
Ask the user for deployment details:
1. Remote server address (IP or hostname)
2. Remote path (e.g., `/var/www/sitename`)
3. SSH authentication method (password or SSH key path)
4. Domain name(s) for Nginx configuration
5. Whether this is a main domain or subdomain
### Step 2: Generate SFTP Configuration
**VSCode Extension**: This skill uses the [code-sftp](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=satiromarra.code-sftp) extension by Satiro Marra.
#### Step 2A: Configure SSH Config (Recommended Best Practice)
Before creating `sftp.json`, set up SSH host alias in `~/.ssh/config` for better management:
```ssh-config
Host project-prod
HostName 82.157.29.215
User root
Port 22
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
ServerAliveInterval 60
ServerAliveCountMax 3
```
**Benefits of SSH config**:
- ✅ Eliminates SFTP extension warnings (`Section for 'IP' not found`)
- ✅ Use host alias in terminal: `ssh project-prod`
- ✅ Centralized SSH settings (connection keep-alive, compression, etc.)
- ✅ Easier to manage multiple environments (dev, staging, prod)
Check if `~/.ssh/config` already has the server:
```bash
cat ~/.ssh/config | grep -A 5 "82.157.29.215"
```
If found, use that existing host alias. If not, add a new entry.
#### Step 2B: Create SFTP Configuration
Create `.vscode/sftp.json` using the template from `assets/sftp.json.template`.
**Essential configuration fields**:
- `name`: Profile name for easy identification
- `host`: **SSH host alias** (e.g., `"Tencent_Pro"`) or IP address
- `protocol`: "sftp" for SFTP (secure) or "ftp" for FTP
- `port`: 22 for SFTP, 21 for FTP
- `username`: SSH/FTP username
- `privateKeyPath`: Path to SSH private key (e.g., `/Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa`)
- `remotePath`: Remote directory path (e.g., `/var/www/sitename`)
- `uploadOnSave`: `false` recommended (manual sync is safer)
**Optional advanced fields**:
- `ignore`: Array of files/folders to exclude from upload
- `watcher`: File watching configuration for auto-upload
- `syncOption`: Sync behavior (delete, update, skip existing files)
- `useTempFile`: Use temporary files during upload
- `downloadOnOpen`: Auto-download files when opened
Customize for the project:
- Replace `{{HOST_ALIAS}}` with SSH config alias (recommended) or IP address
- Replace other `{{PLACEHOLDERS}}` with actual values
- Add project-specific files to `ignore` array (`.claude`, `nginx.conf`, build artifacts, etc.)
- For build-based projects: Keep `uploadOnSave: false`, sync manually after build
- For pure static projects: Optionally enable `uploadOnSave: true` for instant deployment
### Step 3: Generate Nginx Configuration
Choose the appropriate template:
- **Main domain**: Use `assets/nginx-static.conf.template` for primary website
- **Subdomain**: Use `assets/nginx-subdomain.conf.template` for subdomains like `slides.example.com`
Customize the configuration:
1. Replace `{{DOMAIN}}` with actual domain name
2. Replace `{{DOCUMENT_ROOT}}` with remote path (e.g., `/var/www/aiseed`)
3. Adjust SSL certificate paths if using custom certificates
4. Configure subdomain-specific settings if needed
Include essential features from `references/nginx-best-practices.md`:
- HTTP → HTTPS redirect
- HTTP/2 support
- Gzip compression
- Static resource caching (1 year for JS/CSS/images, 1 hour for HTML)
- Security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, CSP, etc.)
- Access and error logs
### Step 4: Provide Deployment Instructions
Generate a deployment checklist based on `assets/deploy-checklist.md`:
1. **Initial setup** (one-time):
- Install VSCode extension: [code-sftp by Satiro Marra](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=satiromarra.code-sftp)
- Open Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P) → `SFTP: Config` to create `.vscode/sftp.json`
- Verify SSH access to server: `ssh user@host`
- Ensure remote directory exists: `ssh user@host "mkdir -p /var/www/sitename"`
- Set proper permissions: `ssh user@host "chmod 755 /var/www/sitename"`
2. **File deployment**:
- For build projects: Run build command first (e.g., `npm run build`)
- Open VSCode Command Palette → `SFTP: Sync Local → Remote` to upload all files
- Or right-click folder in Explorer → "Upload Folder"
- Monitor upload progress in VSCode Output panel (View → Output → SFTP)
- Verify files uploaded: `ssh user@host "ls -la /var/www/sitename"`
3. **Nginx configuration**:
- Upload generated config to `/etc/nginx/sites-available/`
- Create symlink: `ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/site.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/`
- Test config: `sudo nginx -t`
- Reload: `sudo systemctl reload nginx`
4. **SSL/TLS setup** (if not configured):
- Refer to `references/ssl-security.md` for certificate setup
- Use Let's Encrypt for free certificates: `certbot --nginx -d example.com`
5. **Verification**:
- Test HTTPS: `curl -I https://example.com`
- Check security headers: Use securityheaders.com
- Test performance: Use PageSpeed Insights
### Step 5: Document the Setup
Update project documentation (README.md or CLAUDE.md) with:
- Deployment method (SFTP to `/var/www/path`)
- SFTP configuration location (`.vscode/sftp.json`)
- Nginx configuration reference
- Build commands (if applicable)
- Deployment workflow for future updates
## Benefits of This Architecture
Explain to users why static + SFTP deployment is advantageous:
1. **Simplicity**: Edit → Upload → Live (no build pipelines, no containers)
2. **Performance**: Nginx serves static files faster than Node.js/Python backends
3. **Reliability**: No backend processes to crash or hang
4. **Resource efficiency**: Lower server memory and CPU usage
5. **Cost effective**: Can host on minimal VPS or shared hosting
6. **Easy rollback**: Copy previous version from backup directory
## When NOT to Use This Architecture
Static + SFTP deployment is not appropriate when:
- Backend API endpoints are required
- Server-side form processing is needed (unless using external services like n8n, FormSpree)
- User authentication/sessions are required
- Database interactions are needed
- Server-side rendering (SSR) is required

- [ ] Open VSCode SFTP extension
- [ ] Right-click project folder → "Upload Folder" or "Sync Local → Remote"
- [ ] Verify no upload errors in VSCode Output panel
- [ ] SSH to server and verify files: `ls -la /var/www/sitename`
- [ ] Check file permissions: `chmod -R 755 /var/www/sitename`
## Nginx Configuration
- [ ] Upload Nginx config to `/etc/nginx/sites-available/sitename.conf`
- [ ] Create symlink: `sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/sitename.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/`
- [ ] Test configuration syntax: `sudo nginx -t`
- [ ] Reload Nginx: `sudo systemctl reload nginx`
- [ ] Check Nginx status: `sudo systemctl status nginx`
## SSL/TLS (if not configured)
- [ ] Install Certbot: `sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx`
- [ ] Obtain certificate: `sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com`
- [ ] Verify auto-renewal: `sudo certbot renew --dry-run`
- [ ] Check certificate expiry: `sudo certbot certificates`
## Verification
- [ ] Test HTTP → HTTPS redirect: `curl -I http://example.com`
- [ ] Test HTTPS response: `curl -I https://example.com`
- [ ] Verify security headers: `curl -I https://example.com | grep -E 'X-Frame|Strict-Transport|X-Content'`
- [ ] Test in browser (Chrome/Firefox/Safari)
- [ ] Check browser console for errors (F12)
- [ ] Test mobile responsiveness
- [ ] Verify all static assets load correctly (images, CSS, JS)
## Performance Check
- [ ] Test Gzip compression: `curl -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" -I https://example.com`
- [ ] Verify caching headers: `curl -I https://example.com/style.css | grep Cache-Control`
- [ ] Run PageSpeed Insights: https://pagespeed.web.dev/
- [ ] Run WebPageTest: https://www.webpagetest.org/
- [ ] Check security score: https://securityheaders.com/
## Post-Deployment
- [ ] Monitor Nginx logs: `sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/sitename-access.log`
- [ ] Check for errors: `sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/sitename-error.log`
- [ ] Test all critical user flows
- [ ] Update project documentation with deployment details
- [ ] Create backup: `sudo tar -czf /backup/sitename-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /var/www/sitename`
## Troubleshooting
**Issue: 403 Forbidden**
- Check file permissions: `sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/sitename`
- Check Nginx user: `ps aux | grep nginx`
- Verify directory ownership: `sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/sitename`
**Issue: 502 Bad Gateway**
- Not applicable for static sites (only affects reverse proxies)
- If you see this, check if Nginx is trying to proxy instead of serving static files
**Issue: Files not updating**
- Clear browser cache: Ctrl+Shift+R (Chrome/Firefox)
- Check if old files still on server: `ls -la /var/www/sitename`
- Verify SFTP uploaded correctly: Check VSCode Output panel
**Issue: SSL certificate errors**
- Renew certificate: `sudo certbot renew`
- Check certificate paths in Nginx config
- Verify certificate validity: `sudo certbot certificates`

# Nginx Best Practices for Static Sites
## Caching Strategy
### Static Assets (Long-term Cache)
```nginx
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot|webp|avif)$ {
expires 1y;
add_header Cache-Control "public, immutable";
access_log off;
}
```
**Rationale**: Static assets with content hashes can be cached indefinitely. The `immutable` directive tells browsers not to revalidate.
### HTML Files (Short Cache)
```nginx
location ~* \.html$ {
expires 1h;
add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate";
}
```
**Rationale**: HTML should have short cache to allow quick content updates while still benefiting from caching.
### Dynamic Content (No Cache)
```nginx
location ~* \.(json|xml)$ {
expires -1;
add_header Cache-Control "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
}
```
## Gzip Compression
```nginx
gzip on;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_min_length 1024;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types
text/plain
text/css
text/xml
text/javascript
application/javascript
application/x-javascript
application/json
application/xml
application/rss+xml
application/atom+xml
font/truetype
font/opentype
image/svg+xml;
```
**Compression levels**:
- Level 1-3: Fast compression, lower ratio
- Level 4-6: Balanced (recommended)
- Level 7-9: Maximum compression, slower
**Tip**: `gzip_vary on` ensures proper caching with proxies.
## Brotli Compression (Optional, Better than Gzip)
```nginx
brotli on;
brotli_comp_level 6;
brotli_types
text/plain
text/css
text/xml
text/javascript
application/javascript
application/json
application/xml
image/svg+xml;
```
**Note**: Requires `ngx_brotli` module. Brotli provides 15-25% better compression than gzip.
## Security Headers
### Essential Headers
```nginx
# Prevent clickjacking
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN" always;
# Prevent MIME type sniffing
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" always;
# Enable XSS protection (legacy browsers)
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block" always;
# Control referrer information
add_header Referrer-Policy "no-referrer-when-downgrade" always;
# Force HTTPS for 1 year
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload" always;
```
### Content Security Policy (Strict)
```nginx
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' cdn.example.com; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' cdn.example.com; img-src 'self' data: https:; font-src 'self' data:; connect-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'self';" always;
```
**Adjust based on requirements**:
- Remove `'unsafe-inline'` and `'unsafe-eval'` for stricter security
- Add CDN domains to `script-src` and `style-src`
- Use `report-uri` directive for CSP violation reporting
### Permissions Policy (formerly Feature Policy)
```nginx
add_header Permissions-Policy "geolocation=(), microphone=(), camera=()" always;
```
## HTTP/2 Optimization
```nginx
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
# HTTP/2 push (optional, use sparingly)
http2_push_preload on;
```
**HTTP/2 Push Example**:
```nginx
location = /index.html {
http2_push /style.css;
http2_push /script.js;
}
```
**Caution**: HTTP/2 push can hurt performance if overused. Modern browsers with preload links are often better.
## SSL/TLS Configuration
### Modern Configuration (2024)
```nginx
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384';
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off;
# SSL session caching
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout 10m;
ssl_session_tickets off;
# OCSP stapling
ssl_stapling on;
ssl_stapling_verify on;
resolver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 valid=300s;
resolver_timeout 5s;
```
**Security notes**:
- TLSv1.2 minimum (TLSv1.0/1.1 deprecated)
- Prefer TLSv1.3 when possible (faster, more secure)
- Disable SSL session tickets (privacy concern)
## Performance Tuning
### Worker Configuration
```nginx
# /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
worker_processes auto;
worker_connections 1024;
multi_accept on;
use epoll;
```
### Buffers and Timeouts
```nginx
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_header_buffer_size 1k;
large_client_header_buffers 4 4k;
keepalive_timeout 65;
keepalive_requests 100;
send_timeout 30;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
```
## Logging
### Custom Log Format (with request time)
```nginx
log_format main_ext '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for" '
'rt=$request_time uct="$upstream_connect_time" '
'uht="$upstream_header_time" urt="$upstream_response_time"';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main_ext;
```
### Conditional Logging (skip static assets)
```nginx
map $request_uri $loggable {
~*\.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|svg|woff|woff2)$ 0;
default 1;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log combined if=$loggable;
```
## Security: Deny Access to Sensitive Files
```nginx
# Deny access to hidden files (except Let's Encrypt)
location ~ /\.(?!well-known) {
deny all;
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
# Deny access to backup files
location ~* \.(bak|backup|old|orig|save|swp|~)$ {
deny all;
}
# Deny access to version control
location ~ /\.(git|svn|hg|bzr) {
deny all;
}
```
## SPA (Single Page Application) Support
```nginx
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
```
**Explanation**: Fallback to `index.html` for client-side routing (Vue Router, React Router, etc.)
## Rate Limiting (Optional)
```nginx
# Define rate limit zone in http block
limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=general:10m rate=10r/s;
# Apply in server/location block
location / {
limit_req zone=general burst=20 nodelay;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
```
**Parameters**:
- `rate=10r/s`: 10 requests per second
- `burst=20`: Allow burst of 20 requests
- `nodelay`: Process burst requests immediately
## Testing Configuration
```bash
# Test syntax
sudo nginx -t
# Reload configuration
sudo systemctl reload nginx
# Check if Nginx is running
sudo systemctl status nginx
# View error log
sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log
```
## Performance Testing
```bash
# Test Gzip compression
curl -H "Accept-Encoding: gzip" -I https://example.com
# Test HTTP/2
curl -I --http2 https://example.com
# Check response headers
curl -I https://example.com
# Benchmark (simple)
ab -n 1000 -c 10 https://example.com/
```
## Monitoring
```bash
# Active connections
sudo nginx -V 2>&1 | grep -o with-http_stub_status_module
# Add to Nginx config
location /nginx_status {
stub_status on;
access_log off;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
}
# Check status
curl http://localhost/nginx_status
```
## Common Pitfalls
1. **Using `if` for URL rewriting**: Avoid `if` blocks in location context. Use `try_files` or `rewrite` instead.
2. **Not enabling HTTP/2**: Major performance gain with minimal effort.
3. **Over-aggressive caching**: HTML should have short cache to allow updates.
4. **Missing `gzip_vary`**: Can cause issues with cached compressed/uncompressed responses.
5. **Not testing with `nginx -t`**: Always test before reloading.
6. **Forgetting IPv6**: Always include `listen [::]:443 ssl http2;`
7. **Weak SSL configuration**: Use modern ciphers and protocols.
8. **Not using HSTS**: Leave site vulnerable to downgrade attacks.

# SSH Config Best Practices
## Overview
SSH config file (`~/.ssh/config`) centralizes SSH connection settings, eliminating the need to specify connection details every time you connect.
## Benefits
1. **Simplifies commands**: `ssh myserver` instead of `ssh user@192.168.1.100 -i ~/.ssh/key -p 2222`
2. **Works with SFTP extensions**: Eliminates "Section not found" warnings
3. **Reusable across tools**: Works with ssh, scp, rsync, git, VSCode SFTP, etc.
4. **Environment separation**: Easy to manage dev, staging, prod configurations
5. **Security**: Centralized key management and connection settings
## File Location
- **macOS/Linux**: `~/.ssh/config`
- **Windows**: `C:\Users\USERNAME\.ssh\config`
## Basic Syntax
```ssh-config
Host alias-name
HostName actual.server.com
User username
Port 22
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
```
## Common Configuration Examples
### Basic Server (IP Address)
```ssh-config
Host prod-server
HostName 82.157.29.215
User root
Port 22
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
```
Usage: `ssh prod-server`
### Server with Custom Port
```ssh-config
Host custom-port-server
HostName example.com
User deploy
Port 2222
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/deploy_key
```
### Multiple Environments
```ssh-config
Host aiseed-dev
HostName dev.aiseed.org.cn
User developer
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aiseed_dev
Host aiseed-staging
HostName staging.aiseed.org.cn
User deployer
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aiseed_staging
Host aiseed-prod
HostName aiseed.org.cn
User root
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/aiseed_prod
```
### Wildcard Patterns
```ssh-config
Host *.example.com
User admin
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/example_key
ForwardAgent yes
```
Matches: `ssh server1.example.com`, `ssh api.example.com`, etc.
## Important Configuration Options
### Connection Settings
```ssh-config
Host myserver
# Connection keep-alive (prevents disconnection)
ServerAliveInterval 60 # Send keepalive every 60 seconds
ServerAliveCountMax 3 # Disconnect after 3 failed keepalives
# Connection timeout
ConnectTimeout 10 # Timeout after 10 seconds if can't connect
# Compression (faster for slow connections)
Compression yes
```
### Security Settings
```ssh-config
Host secure-server
# Only use this specific key (don't try other keys)
IdentitiesOnly yes
# Disable password authentication (key-only)
PasswordAuthentication no
# Strict host key checking (prevents MITM attacks)
StrictHostKeyChecking yes
# Disable agent forwarding (more secure)
ForwardAgent no
```
### Agent Forwarding (Use SSH keys on remote server)
```ssh-config
Host jump-server
HostName jump.example.com
User admin
ForwardAgent yes # Forward SSH agent to remote
```
**Warning**: Only enable `ForwardAgent` on trusted servers.
### Jump Host (Bastion/Proxy)
```ssh-config
# Jump through bastion to reach private server
Host private-server
HostName 10.0.1.50
User app
ProxyJump bastion
Host bastion
HostName bastion.example.com
User admin
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bastion_key
```
Usage: `ssh private-server` (automatically goes through bastion)
### Port Forwarding
```ssh-config
Host database-tunnel
HostName db.example.com
User dbadmin
LocalForward 5432 localhost:5432 # Forward local 5432 to remote 5432
```
Usage: `ssh database-tunnel` then connect to `localhost:5432` locally.
## VSCode SFTP Integration
When using SSH config with VSCode SFTP extension:
**~/.ssh/config**:
```ssh-config
Host tencent-prod
HostName 82.157.29.215
User root
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
```
**.vscode/sftp.json**:
```json
{
"host": "tencent-prod",
"protocol": "sftp",
"remotePath": "/var/www/project"
}
```
The extension will automatically read connection details from SSH config.
## File Permissions
SSH config file must have restricted permissions:
```bash
# Set correct permissions
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
# Set correct ownership
chown $USER:$USER ~/.ssh/config
```
**SSH will refuse to use the config if permissions are too open** (e.g., 644).
## Testing Configuration
```bash
# Test SSH connection with verbose output
ssh -v myserver
# Test which config is being used
ssh -G myserver
# Check if config syntax is valid
ssh -T git@github.com # Should show GitHub authentication message
```
## Advanced: Include Directive
Split config into multiple files for better organization:
**~/.ssh/config**:
```ssh-config
Include ~/.ssh/config.d/*
```
**~/.ssh/config.d/work.conf**:
```ssh-config
Host work-*
User employee
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work_key
```
**~/.ssh/config.d/personal.conf**:
```ssh-config
Host personal-*
User myusername
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/personal_key
```
## Common Patterns
### Pattern 1: Work vs Personal Separation
```ssh-config
# Work servers
Host work-*
User work.email@company.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/work_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
# Personal projects
Host personal-*
User personal.email@gmail.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/personal_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
# Specific servers
Host work-prod
HostName prod.company.com
Host personal-blog
HostName myblog.com
```
### Pattern 2: Development/Staging/Production
```ssh-config
# Shared settings for all environments
Host app-*
User deployer
ServerAliveInterval 60
ForwardAgent no
# Environment-specific settings
Host app-dev
HostName dev.app.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/app_dev
Host app-staging
HostName staging.app.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/app_staging
Host app-prod
HostName app.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/app_prod
StrictHostKeyChecking yes
```
### Pattern 3: Multi-Hop (Jump through bastion)
```ssh-config
# Bastion/jump server
Host bastion
HostName bastion.company.com
User admin
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/bastion_key
# Application servers (accessed via bastion)
Host app-server-1
HostName 10.0.1.10
User app
ProxyJump bastion
Host app-server-2
HostName 10.0.1.11
User app
ProxyJump bastion
```
## Complete Real-World Example
```ssh-config
# GitHub (multiple accounts)
Host github.com-work
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_work
IdentitiesOnly yes
Host github.com-personal
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_personal
IdentitiesOnly yes
# Production server
Host aiseed-prod
HostName 82.157.29.215
User root
Port 22
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
IdentitiesOnly yes
ServerAliveInterval 60
ServerAliveCountMax 3
StrictHostKeyChecking yes
Compression yes
# Staging server (accessed via VPN)
Host aiseed-staging
HostName 192.168.1.100
User deployer
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/staging_key
ServerAliveInterval 120
# Local development VM
Host local-vm
HostName 192.168.56.10
User vagrant
IdentityFile ~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
```
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: "Bad configuration option"
**Cause**: Typo in option name or unsupported option
**Fix**: Check spelling, verify option exists in `man ssh_config`
### Issue: "Too open" permissions error
**Cause**: Config file has permissions like 644 or 777
**Fix**: `chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config`
### Issue: SSH still asks for password
**Cause**: Key not loaded, wrong key path, or server requires password
**Fix**:
```bash
# Check if key is loaded
ssh-add -l
# Add key to agent
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
# Test connection with verbose output
ssh -v myserver
```
### Issue: Host alias not recognized
**Cause**: Config file not in default location or syntax error
**Fix**:
```bash
# Verify config location
ls -la ~/.ssh/config
# Test config parsing
ssh -G myserver
# Check for syntax errors (look for warnings)
ssh -v myserver 2>&1 | grep -i "config"
```
## Security Best Practices
1. **Use `IdentitiesOnly yes`**: Prevents trying all loaded SSH keys
2. **Separate keys per environment**: Different keys for dev/staging/prod
3. **Disable password auth on production**: `PasswordAuthentication no`
4. **Use `StrictHostKeyChecking yes`** on production servers
5. **Keep config file permissions tight**: `chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config`
6. **Don't commit private keys**: Add `*.pem` and `id_rsa*` to `.gitignore`
7. **Use agent forwarding sparingly**: Only on fully trusted servers
8. **Rotate keys regularly**: Especially for production access
## Useful Commands
```bash
# Show effective config for a host
ssh -G hostname
# Test connection without executing commands
ssh -T hostname
# Copy SSH key to server (enable key-based auth)
ssh-copy-id hostname
# List loaded SSH keys
ssh-add -l
# Remove all loaded keys
ssh-add -D
# Add key with passphrase
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
# Generate new SSH key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
```

# SSL/TLS Security Configuration
## Let's Encrypt Certificate (Free, Recommended)
### Installation
```bash
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt update
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
# CentOS/RHEL
sudo yum install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
# Verify installation
certbot --version
```
### Obtain Certificate
#### For Single Domain
```bash
sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com
```
#### For Domain with www
```bash
sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com
```
#### For Wildcard Certificate (requires DNS validation)
```bash
sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d *.example.com -d example.com
```
**Follow prompts**:
1. Enter email for renewal notifications
2. Agree to Terms of Service
3. Choose whether to share email with EFF
4. For wildcard: Add TXT record to DNS as instructed
### Auto-Renewal
Certbot installs a cron job/systemd timer automatically. Verify:
```bash
# Check renewal status
sudo certbot renew --dry-run
# View systemd timer (Ubuntu 20.04+)
sudo systemctl list-timers | grep certbot
# Manual renewal (if needed)
sudo certbot renew
```
Certificates expire after 90 days. Auto-renewal runs twice daily.
## SSL Configuration File (Shared Parameters)
Create `/etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl_params.conf`:
```nginx
# Modern SSL/TLS configuration (2024)
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384';
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers off;
# SSL session caching (improves performance)
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout 10m;
ssl_session_tickets off;
# OCSP stapling (improves SSL handshake speed)
ssl_stapling on;
ssl_stapling_verify on;
resolver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 valid=300s;
resolver_timeout 5s;
# Diffie-Hellman parameter (generate with: openssl dhparam -out /etc/nginx/dhparam.pem 2048)
ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/dhparam.pem;
```
**Include in site config**:
```nginx
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl_params.conf; # Include shared SSL config
# ... rest of config
}
```
## Generate Diffie-Hellman Parameters
```bash
sudo openssl dhparam -out /etc/nginx/dhparam.pem 2048
```
**Note**: This takes 5-10 minutes. Use 4096 bits for higher security (takes longer).
## Certificate Locations (Let's Encrypt)
```
/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/
├── fullchain.pem → Use for ssl_certificate
├── privkey.pem → Use for ssl_certificate_key
├── chain.pem → Intermediate certificates only
└── cert.pem → Your certificate only
```
**Always use `fullchain.pem`** (includes intermediate certificates).
## HTTP to HTTPS Redirect
### Redirect All HTTP to HTTPS
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
```
### Redirect HTTP to HTTPS (non-www)
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
}
```
## www to non-www Redirect (HTTPS)
```nginx
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name www.example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl_params.conf;
return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl_params.conf;
# Main site configuration
root /var/www/example;
# ...
}
```
## HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)
```nginx
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload" always;
```
**Parameters**:
- `max-age=31536000`: 1 year in seconds
- `includeSubDomains`: Apply to all subdomains
- `preload`: Submit to HSTS preload list (https://hstspreload.org/)
**Warning**: Before using `preload`:
1. Ensure all subdomains support HTTPS
2. Test thoroughly (preload is permanent)
3. Submit to https://hstspreload.org/ after deployment
## Certificate Verification
```bash
# Check certificate expiry
sudo certbot certificates
# Check certificate details
openssl x509 -in /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem -text -noout
# Test SSL configuration (online)
# Visit: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
# Check OCSP stapling
echo | openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -status 2>&1 | grep -A 17 'OCSP response:'
```
## Wildcard Certificate Setup
### Step 1: Request Certificate
```bash
sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns -d *.example.com -d example.com
```
### Step 2: Add DNS TXT Record
Certbot will provide instructions like:
```
Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name:
_acme-challenge.example.com
with the following value:
abc123def456ghi789jkl012mno345pqr678stu901vwx234yz
```
Add this TXT record to your DNS provider.
### Step 3: Verify DNS Propagation
```bash
# Check TXT record
dig _acme-challenge.example.com TXT +short
# Or use online tool: https://mxtoolbox.com/TXTLookup.aspx
```
### Step 4: Continue with Certbot
Press Enter in Certbot prompt after DNS record is live.
### Step 5: Use in Nginx Config
```nginx
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
```
Works for `*.example.com` (any subdomain).
## Renewal Hooks (Run Commands After Renewal)
### Deploy Hook (Run after successful renewal)
```bash
# /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy/01-reload-nginx.sh
#!/bin/bash
systemctl reload nginx
```
Make executable:
```bash
sudo chmod +x /etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/deploy/01-reload-nginx.sh
```
### Pre/Post Hooks
```bash
# Pre-hook (before renewal)
/etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/pre/
# Post-hook (after renewal attempt)
/etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/post/
```
## Custom Certificate (Not Let's Encrypt)
If using custom certificate (purchased SSL):
```nginx
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/example.com.crt; # Your certificate + intermediate
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/example.com.key; # Private key
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/ca-bundle.crt; # For OCSP stapling
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl_params.conf;
}
```
**Certificate format**: PEM (Base64 encoded)
## Security Best Practices
1. **Use modern protocols**: TLSv1.2 minimum, prefer TLSv1.3
2. **Strong ciphers**: Prioritize ECDHE and AEAD ciphers
3. **Enable HSTS**: Force HTTPS for returning visitors
4. **OCSP stapling**: Improve SSL handshake performance
5. **Session tickets off**: Better privacy (forward secrecy)
6. **DH parameters**: Generate custom 2048-bit or 4096-bit
7. **Regular updates**: Keep Nginx and OpenSSL updated
8. **Monitor expiry**: Set up alerts 30 days before expiry
## Testing SSL Configuration
### Online Tools
- **SSL Labs**: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ (Detailed analysis, A+ rating)
- **SSL Checker**: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html
- **Security Headers**: https://securityheaders.com/
### Command Line
```bash
# Test SSL handshake
openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -servername example.com
# Test specific protocol
openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -tls1_2
openssl s_client -connect example.com:443 -tls1_3
# Check cipher suites
nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 example.com
```
## Common SSL Issues
### Issue: ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
**Cause**: Certificate doesn't match domain name
**Fix**: Ensure certificate includes all necessary domains (example.com and www.example.com)
### Issue: Certificate chain incomplete
**Cause**: Using `cert.pem` instead of `fullchain.pem`
**Fix**: Use `fullchain.pem` in `ssl_certificate` directive
### Issue: OCSP stapling not working
**Cause**: Missing `ssl_trusted_certificate` or DNS resolver
**Fix**: Add `resolver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4;` and verify `fullchain.pem` is used
### Issue: Auto-renewal fails
**Cause**: Nginx blocking `.well-known/acme-challenge/`
**Fix**: Add to Nginx config:
```nginx
location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
allow all;
root /var/www/html;
default_type "text/plain";
}
```
## Certificate Backup
```bash
# Backup entire Let's Encrypt directory
sudo tar -czf letsencrypt-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz /etc/letsencrypt
# Restore from backup
sudo tar -xzf letsencrypt-backup-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz -C /
```
## Multi-Domain Certificate (SAN)
Let's Encrypt supports up to 100 domains in one certificate:
```bash
sudo certbot --nginx \
-d example.com \
-d www.example.com \
-d blog.example.com \
-d shop.example.com
```
All domains will share the same certificate (Subject Alternative Names).

name: obsidian-to-x
description: 发布内容和文章到 X (Twitter)。支持常规推文(文字/图片/视频)和 X Articles(长文 Markdown)。使用真实 Chrome 浏览器绕过反机器人检测。当用户说"发推"、"发到 X"、"发到 twitter"、"分享到 X"、"分享到 twitter"、"发 tweet"、"同步到 X"、"发布到 X"、提到"X Articles"、想从 Obsidian 笔记发布长文内容、或需要转换 Obsidian Markdown 到 X 格式时使用。适用于所有 X/Twitter 发布任务。
---
# Post to X (Twitter)
Posts text, images, videos, and long-form articles to X via real Chrome browser (bypasses anti-bot detection).
## Default Behavior (No Additional Instructions)
When user invokes this skill without specifying what to publish (e.g., just says "发到 X" or uses slash command):
1. **Clean Chrome CDP processes first** (REQUIRED - prevents port conflicts):
```bash
pkill -f "Chrome.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; pkill -f "Chromium.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; sleep 2
```
2. **Get current active file** from Obsidian workspace:
```bash
jq -r '.lastOpenFiles[0]' .obsidian/workspace.json
```
3. **Read the file content** using Read tool
4. **Auto-detect publishing type**:
- Check if file has frontmatter with `title:`, `标题:`, or `Title:` field
- **Has title in frontmatter** → Publish as **X Article** (long-form)
- **No frontmatter or no title** → Publish as **Regular Post** (short-form)
5. **Inform user** of detected type and proceed with publishing
6. **Execute appropriate workflow**:
- For X Article: Convert with `obsidian-to-article.ts` → Publish with `x-article.ts`
- For Regular Post: Convert with `obsidian-to-post.ts` → Publish with `x-post.ts`
7. **Success Detection**: When running publishing scripts in background, check output for success markers:
- **Best method**: Count `Image upload verified` occurrences matching expected image count
- **Alternative**: Look for `Post composed (preview mode)` or `Browser remains open`
- **For X Articles**: Look for `Article composed` or `Browser remains open`
- Use short timeout (10-15s) with `block=false`, then check output content
- Report success immediately when markers detected, don't wait for task completion
- Example: 3 images → wait for 3x `Image upload verified` + text typing completion
**Example**:
```
User: "发到 X"
AI: ✓ Detected current file: Articles/news/my-article.md
✓ Found frontmatter with title → Publishing as X Article
[proceeds with article publishing workflow]
```
## Content Types
**X Articles vs Regular Posts**:
| Feature | X Articles | Regular Posts |
|---------|-----------|---------------|
| Content | Rich text (Markdown) | Plain text only |
| Formatting | ✅ Bold, italic, headers, lists | ❌ All stripped |
| Code blocks | ✅ Syntax highlighting | ❌ Not supported |
| Images | ✅ Multiple images | ✅ Max 4 images |
| Length | Long-form (unlimited) | Short (280 chars) |
| Requirements | X Premium | Free |
| Script | `x-article.ts` | `x-post.ts` |
| Conversion | `obsidian-to-x.ts` | `extract-post-content.ts` |
**When to use**:
- **X Articles**: Blog posts, tutorials, technical articles with code
- **Regular Posts**: Quick updates, announcements, simple text + images
**AI Auto-Detection (for Obsidian files)**:
When user requests to publish the currently active Obsidian file without specifying the type:
1. **Read the file content** using Read tool
2. **Check for frontmatter** (YAML block between `---` markers at the start)
3. **Auto-select publishing type**:
- **Has frontmatter with title field** (`title:`, `标题:`, or `Title:`) → Publish as **X Article**
- **No frontmatter or no title field** → Publish as **Regular Post**
4. **Inform the user** of the detected type before publishing
**IMPORTANT**:
- **ONLY use frontmatter presence to determine publishing type**
- **DO NOT consider content length, word count, or any other factors**
- Even if content is very long (800+ words), if there's no frontmatter with title → publish as Regular Post
- Even if content is very short, if there's frontmatter with title → publish as X Article
- Strictly follow the frontmatter rule without exceptions
**Example decision logic**:
```
File with frontmatter:
---
title: My Technical Article
---
Content here...
→ Detected: X Article (has title in frontmatter)
File without frontmatter:
Just some quick thoughts to share...
→ Detected: Regular Post (no frontmatter)
```
## Quick Start
For Obsidian users who want to publish the currently active article:
```bash
bash ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish-active.sh
```
This automatically:
1. Detects the active file (via workspace.json or Obsidian CLI)
2. Converts Obsidian syntax to X format
3. Opens X Articles editor with content filled in
## Script Directory
**Important**: All scripts are located in the `scripts/` subdirectory of this skill.
**Agent Execution Instructions**:
1. Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as `SKILL_DIR`
2. Script path = `${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/.ts`
3. Replace all `${SKILL_DIR}` in this document with the actual path
4. Resolve `${BUN_X}` runtime: if `bun` installed → `bun`; if `npx` available → `npx -y bun`; else suggest installing bun
**Script Reference**:
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| **Publishing Scripts** | |
| `scripts/x-post.ts` | Publish regular posts (text + images, max 4) |
| `scripts/x-video.ts` | Publish video posts (text + video) |
| `scripts/x-quote.ts` | Publish quote tweet with comment |
| `scripts/x-article.ts` | Publish X Articles (rich text + images + code) |
| **Conversion Scripts** | |
| `scripts/obsidian-to-post.ts` | Convert Obsidian Markdown → plain text + images (for Posts) |
| `scripts/obsidian-to-article.ts` | Convert Obsidian Markdown → X Articles format (for Articles) |
| **Utilities** | |
| `scripts/publish-active.sh` | One-command publish for active Obsidian file |
## Prerequisites
- Google Chrome or Chromium
- `bun` runtime
- First run: log in to X manually (session saved)
- For Obsidian integration: `jq` tool (`brew install jq` on macOS)
## Pre-flight Check (Optional)
Before first use, suggest running the environment check:
```bash
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/check-paste-permissions.ts
```
Checks: Chrome, Bun, Accessibility permissions, clipboard, paste keystroke.
**If any check fails**, provide fix guidance per item:
| Check | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| Chrome | Install Chrome or set `X_BROWSER_CHROME_PATH` env var |
| Bun runtime | `brew install oven-sh/bun/bun` (macOS) or `npm install -g bun` |
| Accessibility (macOS) | System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → enable terminal app |
| Paste keystroke (Linux) | Install `xdotool` (X11) or `ydotool` (Wayland) |
## Obsidian Integration
For Obsidian users, this skill can automatically detect the currently active file and convert Obsidian-specific syntax.
**Quick workflow**:
```bash
# One-command publish
bash ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish-active.sh
```
**Manual workflow**:
```bash
# Step 1: Get active file (workspace.json method, 39x faster)
ACTIVE_FILE=$(jq -r '.lastOpenFiles[0]' .obsidian/workspace.json)
# Step 2: Convert Obsidian syntax
bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/obsidian-to-article.ts "$ACTIVE_FILE" "Temp/converted.md"
# Step 3: Publish
bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/x-article.ts "Temp/converted.md"
```
**For detailed Obsidian integration**, see `references/obsidian-integration.md`:
- How to detect active file (workspace.json vs CLI)
- Performance comparison (0.007s vs 0.274s)
- Error handling and fallback strategies
**For Obsidian syntax conversion**, see `references/obsidian-conversion.md`:
- Converting `![[]]` image syntax
- Handling Chinese frontmatter fields
- Manual conversion commands
---
## Regular Posts
Text + up to 4 images. **Plain text only** (all Markdown formatting stripped).
### From Obsidian Markdown
**Step 1: Clean Chrome CDP processes first** (REQUIRED - prevents port conflicts)
```bash
pkill -f "Chrome.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; pkill -f "Chromium.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; sleep 2
```
**Step 2: Convert Markdown to plain text + images**
```bash
# Extract content from Markdown file
# Supports both standard Markdown  and Obsidian ![[path]] image syntax
bun ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/obsidian-to-post.ts "Articles/my-post.md" > /tmp/post-content.json
TEXT=$(jq -r '.text' /tmp/post-content.json)
IMAGES=$(jq -r '.images[]' /tmp/post-content.json)
```
**Image Syntax Support**:
- ✅ Standard Markdown: ``
- ✅ Obsidian syntax: `![[path/to/image.png]]`
- ✅ Network URLs: `` or `![[https://example.com/image.jpg]]`
- Local paths are converted to absolute paths
- Network images are automatically downloaded in parallel (3-4x faster than sequential)
**Step 3: Publish post**
```bash
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/x-post.ts "$TEXT" --image "$IMAGES"
```
### Direct Usage
```bash
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/x-post.ts "Hello!" --image ./photo.png
```
**Parameters**:
| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `` | Post content (plain text, positional) |
| `--image ` | Image file (repeatable, max 4) |
| `--profile ` | Custom Chrome profile |
**Content Processing**:
- ✅ Plain text (all formatting stripped)
- ✅ Images (max 4)
- ❌ No rich text formatting
- ❌ No code blocks
- ❌ No HTML
**Browser Behavior**:
- Script opens browser with content filled in
- Browser **remains open** for manual review
- User can review, edit, and publish at their own pace
- User manually closes browser when done
- Add `--submit` flag to auto-publish (closes after 2 seconds)
**AI Success Detection** (for background execution):
- Don't wait for task completion (browser stays open indefinitely)
- **Best method**: Count `Image upload verified` in output matching expected image count
- **Alternative**: Check for `Post composed (preview mode)` or `Browser remains open`
- Use short timeout (10-15s) then check output content
- Report success immediately when markers detected
- Example workflow:
```
1. Know you're uploading 3 images
2. Wait 10-15s for uploads
3. Check output: grep "Image upload verified" | wc -l
4. If count == 3 → Report success immediately
```

```
**Step 2: Publish video post**
```bash
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/x-video.ts "Check this out!" --video ./clip.mp4
```
**Parameters**:
| Parameter | Description |

```bash
pkill -f "Chrome.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; pkill -f "Chromium.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; sleep 2
```
This prevents "Chrome debug port not ready" errors. **Always run this first, automatically, without asking the user.**
**Step 2: Publish article**
```bash
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/x-article.ts article.md
${BUN_X} ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/x-article.ts article.md --cover ./cover.jpg

Code blocks are automatically extracted from Markdown and inserted into X Articles editor. Supports all languages (JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Shell, etc.). No manual action required.
---
## Troubleshooting
**Common issues**:
- Chrome debug port not ready → Always clean CDP processes first (see above)
- macOS Accessibility Permission Error → Enable in System Settings
- Code blocks not inserting → Automatic, check console for errors
**For detailed troubleshooting**, see `references/troubleshooting.md`.
