SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill makes it easy to update an existing Showpane client portal without manual file hunting or risky shared-component edits. It guides discovery of the correct portal files, enforces a scope lock so only the portal directory is changed, and applies consistent visual and content patterns to preserve the site's look and behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify and verify the target portal by slug and confirm the client component and page files exist.
  • Read and summarize the portal structure (tabs, labels, icons, contact, last updated) to provide context before changes.
  • Add, remove, reorder, or update tabs; insert meeting notes from transcripts; update contact or PortalShell metadata; and update the lastUpdated timestamp.
  • Use case: After a client call, add a new meeting notes section and push updated Next Steps and documents into an existing portal directory without touching shared components.

Quick Start

Run the portal-update flow for the desired portal slug and describe the specific edits you want applied.

Yes, editing a Showpane client portal requires a configured Showpane home and app_path. You must also have read and write access to the portal's client directory to successfully apply content and metadata updates.

What is the best way to update PortalShell properties and metadata for an existing client portal?

The best way to update PortalShell properties is using an automated update flow that verifies the target portal by slug. This approach preserves consistent visual patterns while applying targeted metadata and timestamp updates to the portal.

Can I reorder or remove tabs in a client portal directory without manual file hunting?
