feat(sjskills): support local-path sources in project [[direct]] entries - #29
Conversation
A project that develops its own skill in-repo can now declare it with `source = "./skills/<name>"` (or `../`, `/abs`, `C:/abs`). Relative paths resolve against the directory containing sjskills.toml, not the process working directory, so plan/apply behave the same from any subdirectory. Design: - Resolution records the absolute LocalPath on the desired skill while Source keeps the committed spelling. Provenance uses `local:<normalized manifest path>` plus the tree hash, so recloning or moving the project keeps ownership and editing the source yields an ordinary verified update rather than local-modification. - The materializer copies the local tree into the same staging layout a Skills CLI fetch produces, after any remote fetch, and only preflights bunx when a remote source is selected. Placement, quarantine, rollback, and restore therefore need no separate path. The staged copy must hash equal to the inspected source, so mid-copy edits are reported, not adopted. - Local sources must be real directories holding only regular files and directories, with a SKILL.md whose frontmatter name matches the entry. Sources inside generated .agents/skills, .claude/skills, or .sjskills directories, project roots, and parent-only paths are rejected. Paths are forward-slash only; `~`, backslashes, access, and full_depth are rejected. Absolute or project-escaping paths work but warn as machine-specific. - A missing or invalid source fails plan/apply as invalid input (exit 65) with an actionable message instead of looking like an outage. - Status never caches local hashes: the cache key and refresh cover only remote skills and local sources are hashed on every check. - The registry and fixed global baseline stay remote-only, and global provenance never trusts a `local:` identity. ResolveProject now takes the project root explicitly. Provenance with `local:` identities requires a build with this change. Closes #28 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

When a local path reaches a parent of the project through a symlinked ancestor (for example, /alias/container with /alias -> /real and the project at /real/container/project), resolveLocalSourcePath compares only the unresolved spelling, and this canonicalized path is never compared with the project root. The forbidden parent source is therefore accepted and can copy the project itself into the generated skill tree; after the first apply, later plans can also fail because that source now contains the generated roots. Preserve the project root for inspection and perform the containment check on this canonical path.

Fixed in 49ccf61. The tree walk over the symlink-resolved source now rejects any sjskills.toml. A source that reaches the project (or any project) through a symlinked ancestor is therefore refused, with no lexical root comparison needed. Covered by TestLocalSourceRejectsParentOnlyAndProjectRoots.

For a mixed manifest with a missing or malformed local source, any Bun preflight or remote fetch failure returns from the earlier remote loop, so this local loop never runs and the CLI reports unavailable instead of the intended invalid_source. This makes a deterministic manifest error depend on network/tool availability and hides the actionable diagnostic; pre-inspect all local sources before remote materialization while still staging their copies afterward.

Fixed in 49ccf61. Materialize inspects every local source before Bun preflight or any remote fetch, so a broken entry always reports invalid_source. Staging copies still happen after the remote fetches. Covered by TestMaterializeReportsBrokenLocalSourceBeforeRemoteTooling, which uses a failing runner and asserts no process was started.

A valid frontmatter line such as name: "team-tool" # maintained locally is rejected: because the final character is not a quote, the code takes the comment branch and returns "team-tool" with its quotes still attached, which then produces a false name-mismatch error. Remove the comment before handling quotes, or parse the frontmatter as YAML, so supported scalar formatting does not make local skills uninstallable.

Fixed in 49ccf61. A quoted scalar now ends at its closing quote, and only a # comment may follow it. name: "team-tool" # maintained locally parses as team-tool. Covered by TestLocalSkillDeclaredNameStripsCommentAfterQuotedValue.

When a local source is edited during copying, the staged/source hash mismatch is returned as LocalSourceError, and application.prepare maps every such error to invalid_source with exit 65 even though this message explicitly says to retry. This is a transient consistency race rather than malformed configuration, so return a non-configuration error for this case and let the CLI report it as unavailable or conflict instead of telling automation that the manifest is invalid.

Fixed in 49ccf61. Copy failures and the staged/source hash mismatch are now ordinary materialization errors, so the CLI reports them as unavailable (retryable). LocalSourceError / invalid_source is now used only for configuration problems found during inspection.

For a project containing only local direct sources, cachedDesired is empty, but Check still requires a readable cache entry or successful acquisition of the shared empty-selection cache lock before it reaches withLocalStatusExpected. On a cold cache, an unwritable cache directory, or two concurrent local-only status checks, the lock/cache failure returns an unavailable advisory without hashing or inspecting any local source, even though no upstream evidence is needed. Handle the empty cached selection directly so live local status does not depend on upstream cache infrastructure.

Fixed in 49ccf61. When the selection has no remote Skills CLI skills, Check skips the cache read, lock, and refresh, and classifies using only live local hashes. Covered by TestLocalOnlyStatusDoesNotDependOnUpstreamCache, which points the cache root at a file and fails on any refresh.

- Inspect, hash, and copy a local source through the one symlink-resolved path, so a swapped ancestor symlink cannot make staging read a different tree than validation saw. The tree walk now rejects any sjskills.toml, which also catches sources that contain the project root through a symlinked ancestor without needing the root at materialization time. - Inspect every local source before Bun preflight or remote fetches, so a broken manifest entry reports invalid_source instead of an unrelated tooling or network outage. - Report edits racing the staging copy as retryable materialization errors (unavailable) rather than invalid configuration. - Parse quoted SKILL.md names followed by a YAML comment. - Serve local-only status without touching the upstream cache or its lock.

Advance the minor version for PR #29: project manifests can declare [[direct]] skills from local paths, copied and tracked under `local:` provenance identities. Older binaries reject such provenance, so projects using local sources need this release. Publish only artifacts that pass the tagged native matrix.

Closes #28
Resulting behavior
A project manifest can install a skill it develops in-repo:
./and../paths resolve against the directory containingsjskills.toml, not the cwd. Absolute/pathandC:/pathwork too. Paths must use forward slashes. Absolute paths and paths that escape the project produce amachine-specific-sourcewarning.planandapplycopy the tree into.agents/skillsand.claude/skillsusing the existing staged-snapshot pipeline.
