LangBot Skills Maintenance

Use this skill before changing reusable assets in this repository.

Workflow

1. Read AGENTS.md, skills/.env, and the relevant existing skill files.
2. Classify the change:
   • SKILL.md for routing and concise operating rules.
   • references/*.md for canonical detailed workflows.
   • cases/*.yaml for executable test-plan skeletons.
   • suites/*.yaml for reusable groups of case ids.
   • fixtures/fixtures.json for deterministic fixture readiness metadata.
   • reports/evidence/<run-id>/automation-result.json as automation output and reports/evidence/<run-id>/result.json as final judgment output; neither is a catalog asset to commit.
   • troubleshooting/*.yaml for one reusable failure mode.
3. Search existing assets before adding new files:
   • rg "<feature|error|case id>" skills
   • bin/lbs case list
   • bin/lbs suite list
   • bin/lbs fixture list
4. Put detail in one canonical place and link to it from cases or routing bullets.
5. Run the checks in AGENTS.md after edits.

Entropy Rules

• Prefer extending an existing reference or troubleshooting entry when the root cause is the same.
• Keep cases short: setup, action, evidence, pass/fail checks. Do not paste long prompts or debug transcripts when a reference exists.
• Put machine-checkable inputs in env, automation_env, or fixtures; put operator-confirmed assumptions in preconditions so test plan can surface manual_check.
• Keep suites short: title, intent, tags, and ordered case ids. Do not duplicate case steps inside a suite.
• Keep fixture manifests factual: id, title, path, kind, and related case ids. Do not encode environment-specific absolute paths.
• Keep troubleshooting entries narrow: symptoms, patterns, likely causes, fixes, related assets.
• Do not hardcode local ports, browser profile paths, secrets, tokens, or provider keys.
• Use bin/lbs index --check to verify the committed index is current without writing it; run bin/lbs index when the index needs regeneration.
