SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you use and maintain the jq Shimmy tool without losing the repository’s context-first guidance, version rules, or mount policy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • jq workflow guidance: Follows the canonical jq instructions for filter-style stdin execution.
  • Version validation: Keeps image-version checks aligned with the tool’s documented behavior.
  • Repository-aware maintenance: References the shared Shimmy context and the jq-specific context files so changes stay consistent.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I run jq inside a container without losing the repository context?

To run jq inside a container safely, this Skill applies the Shimmy canonical workflow by referencing shared context files and enforcing a minimal mount policy to preserve repository context during filter-style stdin execution.

What is the correct way to handle stdin filtering with jq in a container workflow?

Stdin filtering with jq requires following the Shimmy tool's versioned guidance files to maintain filter-style stdin handling and ensure the container execution rules align with the documented jq behavior.

Why does my jq version validation fail during container execution?

jq version validation fails when image-version checks diverge from the tool's documented behavior; this Skill aligns version checks with the jq-specific context files to troubleshoot and resolve the mismatch.

Do I need specific context files to maintain jq container execution rules?

Yes, maintaining jq container execution rules requires adherence to the shared Shimmy context and jq-specific versioned guidance files to keep filter-style stdin handling and mount policies consistent.

What's the best way to troubleshoot jq container workflow issues in my repository?

Troubleshooting jq container workflow issues involves applying the Shimmy tool's repository-aware maintenance rules, checking version validation, and reviewing the jq context files for operational consistency.

Can I edit repository files without breaking the jq Shimmy mount policy?

Editing repository files without breaking the jq Shimmy mount policy requires referencing the shared Shimmy context and jq-specific guidance files to ensure changes stay consistent with the minimal mount policy.
