SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of confirming that an installed skill can be invoked from ordinary trigger wording, without requiring the user to know the skill package name or install path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic workspace handshake: Writes a single, expected marker file into the current workspace root.
  • Stable trigger contract: Designed to work with the trigger phrase "workspace probe handshake" during demos and tests.
  • Exact JSON payload: Produces the required marker_kind, probe_id, and status so automation can validate success reliably.

Quick Start

Ask for a workspace probe handshake in your current workdir so the skill writes the expected marker file.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-invocation-probe

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify skill invocation in an automated testing workflow?▼

To verify skill invocation in automated testing, trigger the skill using ordinary wording to write a deterministic workspace marker file. This confirms the deployed skill activates correctly without needing the package name or install path.

What is a workspace probe handshake and when do I need it?▼

A workspace probe handshake is a stable trigger contract that writes a single expected marker file into the current workspace root. You need it during demo flows and automated tests to validate skill activation reliably.

How do I validate skill activation in a copied workdir?▼

You validate skill activation in a copied workdir by requesting a workspace probe handshake. The skill then creates a marker directory and writes an exact JSON payload to .houmao-skill-invocation-demo/markers/workspace-probe.json for validation.

Does the workspace probe require knowing the skill package name?▼

The workspace probe does not require knowing the skill package name. It confirms that an installed skill can be invoked from ordinary trigger wording by generating a deterministic marker file in the workspace.

What specific JSON payload does the workspace probe generate for automation validation?▼

The workspace probe generates a JSON payload containing marker_kind, probe_id, and status fields. This exact structure allows automation scripts to validate the skill invocation success reliably.
