SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating a properly structured Anteroom pack with a valid manifest and artifact files is repetitive and error-prone when done manually; this skill automates the scaffolding and enforces schema and naming rules so teams can share consistent bundles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pack scaffolding: Generates pack directory, artifact files, and a pack.yaml manifest following the documented schema and naming conventions.
  • Validation guidance: Instructs the user to run the included validation command to ensure the manifest and file layout are correct before installation.
  • Use Case: Quickly create a team pack that bundles skills, rules, and configuration overlays for consistent onboarding and CI usage.

Quick Start

Create a new pack for my-team called code-review-tools with one skill and one rule and validate the manifest.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold an Anteroom pack with a valid manifest and artifact files?

To scaffold an Anteroom pack, you generate a pack directory with artifact files and a pack.yaml manifest. This automated scaffolding enforces the documented schema and naming conventions to ensure your bundles are structured correctly for installation.

What is the best way to bundle skills, rules, and configuration overlays for team onboarding?

The best way to bundle skills, rules, and configuration overlays is to create a standardized Anteroom pack. This approach packages your configurations into a consistent directory layout that teams can easily share and install across different environments.

How do I validate a pack manifest and file layout before installation?

You validate a pack manifest and file layout by running the included validation command. This checks that your generated pack.yaml manifest and artifact files follow the correct pack schema and directory layout before you attempt installation.

Why does manually creating an Anteroom pack cause manifest and file layout errors?

Manually creating an Anteroom pack causes errors because the repetitive process of writing schema-compliant pack.yaml manifests and organizing artifact files is highly error-prone. Automating the scaffolding enforces naming rules and validates the structure to prevent these mistakes.

Do I need any specific dependencies to generate a standardized pack directory?

You do not need any specific dependencies to generate a standardized pack directory. The scaffolding process works independently to produce the pack.yaml manifest and artifact files, followed by running the included validation command to ensure correctness.

Can I use this scaffolding to create multiple artifact files for a single team pack?

Yes, you can use this scaffolding to create multiple artifact files for a single team pack. You can quickly generate a pack that bundles multiple skills, rules, and configuration overlays together, then validate the entire manifest before sharing.
