## What it does

The skill guides your coding agent when creating or updating workflow definitions in the `.rwx` directory. It pulls reference schemas using `rwx docs pull` and validates configurations with `rwx lint .rwx/<name>.yml` before execution.

You do not need to commit or push your branch to run a test pipeline. The `rwx run .rwx/<file>.yml --wait` command automatically patches the remote clone with your uncommitted local files. Isolated commands execute via `rwx sandbox exec`.

Without an installed RWX CLI and an active login via `rwx whoami`, this skill will fail immediately. It relies entirely on local CLI authentication.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rwx-cloud/skills --skill rwx -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/rwx/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/rwx/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rwx-cloud/skills --skill rwx -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/rwx/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rwx-cloud/skills --skill rwx -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/rwx/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install rwx-cloud/skills rwx
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/rwx/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rwx-cloud/skills --skill rwx -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/rwx-cloud/skills --path plugins/rwx/skills/rwx
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/rwx/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rwx-cloud/skills --skill rwx -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/rwx-cloud/skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/rwx/skills/rwx/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- draft and validate CI/CD definitions in the `.rwx` directory
- execute remote test runs using uncommitted local changes
- debug build failures and inspect run logs directly in terminal
- run custom commands inside an RWX sandbox environment

## Example prompts
- Check why the CI run failed on this branch
- Generate a pipeline config in `.rwx/ci.yml` and run lint on it
- Execute `npm test` inside an RWX sandbox

# Using RWX

Ensure the user is signed in and on the latest version of the RWX CLI before
getting started: `rwx whoami`

## RWX Run Definition Syntax

When working with RWX, it is extremely important to use the reference
documentation. Run the following command to pull the reference documentation.
The output is already constrained in size, and it is very important to not
truncate the output of this command.

`rwx docs pull /migrating/rwx-reference`

If you encounter a question not covered by these references, use
`rwx docs search "<query>"` to find the relevant documentation page, then
`rwx docs pull` the result.

## Executing Runs

If the user chooses, you can kick off an actual run on RWX:

`rwx run .rwx/<file>.yml --wait`

When the run finishes, results will be shown, and you can iterate until the run
passes.

You do not need to commit or push to invoke a run with RWX, even if the run
definition references a commit sha. RWX will automatically patch the git clone
with the local contents.

## Check CI / run results or status of a branch

If you have been asked to check on run failures or CI failures, or if you have
been asked to check the current run status of the current branch or a given
branch:

`rwx results -h`

## Sandboxes

If the user mentions using a sandbox:

`rwx sandbox exec -- <command>`

## Generate or Modify RWX Config

You may have been tasked with creating, modifying, or understanding/explaining
an RWX CI/CD config for this project. Use the same aforementioned documentation.

When making changes, you can run validation on the config:

    rwx lint .rwx/<name>.yml
```
