majordomus skills explain

One skill in full: each naming test and its evidence, its page, its gates, every invocation

majordomus skills explain

Usage

majordomus skills explain [OPTIONS] <ID>

Arguments

argumentvaluedefaultdescription
<ID> <ID> required The skill's id, which is also its directory name
--repo <PATH> — Start the search for the repository root here (default: the current directory) (accepted by every subcommand)
--discovery vcs | filesystem vcs How declarative files are enumerated (accepted by every subcommand)
  • vcs — Tracked files, through the version-control index (the layer's contract); a layer none of which is tracked is read from the work tree
  • filesystem — A walk of the work tree with the same glob semantics; untracked files included
--strict flag — Refuse to proceed when any file of the layer carries an error diagnostic (accepted by every subcommand)
--share <DIR> — The tool distribution's share directory (kinds.yaml, schemas/); default: $MAJORDOMUS_SHARE, then the repository's own share/, then the one beside the executable (accepted by every subcommand)
--format text | json text Output shape (accepted by every subcommand)
  • text — Lines for a person
  • json — One JSON document, deterministic

Examples

  • A skill the repository does not hold is a refusal, not an empty answer

    `skills explain <id>` answers one skill in full: each naming test with the state of its latest run and how to reproduce it, its page, its gates and every invocation by path and line. An id that names no skill exits 12 and names what was looked for.

    $ majordomus skills explain no-such-skill

    What it asserts: exits 12.

    Tested by apps/majordomus-cli/tests/cli_examples.rs, which runs the command against the built executable and asserts what the page states.

Where this comes from

Declared once in apps/majordomus-cli/src/cli.rs: clap for the structure, typed Rust metadata beside it for the examples. This page, majordomus skills explain --help, docs/generated/cli.md and docs/generated/cli.json are projections of that one declaration.

The whole command line on one page: the registry's command-line page. The task lifecycle (init, start, finish, doctor, ...) belongs to the shell tool, a different program: Commands and its specification.
