SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of verifying the correct runtime behavior of native applications, especially when traditional browser developer tools are unavailable or insufficient, and provides a structured alternative to screenshot-based debugging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runtime Verification: Ensure native apps (Tauri, Electron) function correctly after code modifications.
  • State Querying: Inspect semantic UI state, subsystem health, and diffs without relying on screenshots.
  • Use Case: After updating a critical subsystem in a Tauri application, use this Skill to scaffold a diagnostic server and CLI to confirm that the simulation, UI, and economy subsystems are healthy and that no unexpected state changes have occurred.

Quick Start

Use the runtime-diagnostics skill to scaffold a diagnostic HTTP server and CLI for your native application.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify native app health in Tauri or Electron without taking screenshots?▼

To verify native app health without screenshots, you can scaffold a diagnostic HTTP server and CLI. This allows you to inspect semantic UI state, run health checks, and perform diff analysis on Tauri and Electron applications.

What is the best way to inspect runtime state in native applications after code changes?▼

Inspecting runtime state in native applications is best achieved by querying a scaffolded diagnostic server. It enables subsystem health verification and diff analysis without relying on visual debugging tools.

Can I run assertion testing and smoke tests on my Electron app's runtime behavior?▼

Yes, you can run assertion testing and smoke tests on your Electron app. The runtime diagnostics pattern integrates health, diff, assert, and smoke tests to verify runtime behavior comprehensively.

How do I check if unexpected state changes occurred in my Tauri application?▼

To check for unexpected state changes in a Tauri application, you use diff analysis via a diagnostic CLI. This inspects semantic UI state and subsystem health to confirm no regressions happened post-change.

Does runtime diagnostics work when traditional browser developer tools are unavailable?▼

Yes, runtime diagnostics works when browser developer tools are unavailable. It provides a structured alternative to screenshot-based debugging by scaffolding a dedicated HTTP server for state querying.

Are there limitations to using a diagnostic HTTP server for native app state management?▼

A limitation of using a diagnostic HTTP server for native app state management is that it requires scaffolding within the application. It is specifically designed for Tauri and Electron apps rather than generic web applications.
