## What it 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.
