help-add — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
This skill adds built-in help to a 1C object by creating help files and linking the help section to the object’s forms.
/plugin marketplace add Nikolay-Shirokov/cc-1c-skills
/plugin install 1c-skills@cc-1c-skillsWhat help-add does
help-add adds Ext/Help.xml and an HTML help page at Ext/Help/ru.html for a 1C object. The object path is read relative to the source directory, so the same workflow can cover catalogs, documents, reports, and data processors.
The skill runs scripts/add-help.ps1. When forms are present, it inserts <IncludeHelpInContents> into their metadata if the element is missing. It does not add the help entry to ChildObjects; the generated files are enough.
After the command finishes, edit Ext/Help/ru.html and write the actual help content with standard HTML. Without that content, the result is only a template. The form help button appears through Autofill in the form’s AutoCommandBar.

# /help-add — Добавление справки
Добавляет встроенную справку к объекту: файл метаданных `Help.xml`, HTML-страницу и при необходимости обновляет метаданные форм.
## Usage
```
/help-add <ObjectName> [Lang] [SrcDir]
```
| Параметр | Обязательный | По умолчанию | Описание |
|------------|:------------:|--------------|-------------------------------------|
| ObjectName | да | — | Путь объекта относительно SrcDir (например `Catalogs/МойСправочник`, `DataProcessors/МояОбработка`) |
| Lang | нет | `ru` | Код языка справки |
| SrcDir | нет | `src` | Каталог исходников |
## Команда
```powershell
powershell.exe -NoProfile -File "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/add-help.ps1" -ObjectName "<ObjectName>" [-Lang "<Lang>"] [-SrcDir "<SrcDir>"]
```
## Что делает скрипт
- Создаёт `Ext/Help.xml` и `Ext/Help/ru.html` — шаблон справки
- Если у объекта есть формы — добавляет `<IncludeHelpInContents>` в метаданные форм (если отсутствует)
- Справка **не регистрируется** в `ChildObjects` — достаточно наличия файлов
## После запуска
Отредактируй `Ext/Help/ru.html` — наполни содержимым справки (стандартный HTML: `<h1>`..`<h4>`, `<p>`, `<ul>`, `<table>` и т.д.). Кнопка справки появится автоматически через `Autofill` в AutoCommandBar формы.
