System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents breaking existing functionality by ensuring that when tool or tool set reference names are changed, the old names are preserved as legacy aliases, maintaining backward compatibility for prompt files, configurations, and saved references.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backward Compatibility: Guarantees that tools and tool sets remain accessible even after their names are updated.
  • Regression Prevention: Catches errors where legacy references are dropped during renaming operations.
  • Use Case: After renaming a tool from oldName to newName, this skill ensures that any existing prompts or configurations that still refer to oldName continue to function correctly by mapping them to newName.

Quick Start

Run this skill whenever a tool or tool set reference name is changed to verify legacy compatibility.
