SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps maintain Shimmy tool shims that need local image builds, so new versioned tools can be added without breaking cleanup or repository naming conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Versioned shim setup: Defines how to add new kind and version entries to local build routing.
  • Containerfile enforcement: Ensures each supported version shim has a matching Containerfile in the expected images directory.
  • Image cleanup integration: Guides updates so newly added shims participate in cleanup logic for old local images.

Quick Start

Use this skill to update Shimmy so a new versioned tool shim builds locally and is included in the cleanup workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure local image builds for versioned container shims?

To configure local image builds for versioned container shims, you update local build routing with new kind and version entries. This directs directory-based container construction and maintains consistent image repository naming.

Why does my new versioned shim build break the cleanup automation for old local images?

New versioned shim builds break cleanup automation when they are not integrated into the existing cleanup logic. You must update the cleanup automation workflow so newly added shims participate in removing old local images.

Do I need a Containerfile for every version when adding local Podman builds?

Yes, you need a matching Containerfile for every supported version shim. Containerfile enforcement requires each version to have a corresponding file in the expected images directory to build locally.

What is the best way to add a new versioned tool to local build routing?

The best way to add a new versioned tool to local build routing is to define the new kind and version entries, create the required directory-based Containerfile, and update the image cleanup integration simultaneously.

How does directory-based container construction maintain consistent image repository naming?

Directory-based container construction maintains consistent image repository naming by enforcing that each supported version shim has a matching Containerfile in the expected images directory, standardizing the build routing.
