## What it does

This skill connects a coding agent with the SLICC browser agent. It can move an in-progress task into a browser session or send SLICC a request to install a skill from GitHub. The two actions use the `handoff:` and `upskill:` prefixes.

The package includes the `slicc-handoff` helper, launched with Node.js and `--open`. SLICC then shows an approval card in its Chat tab before dispatching the request. A GitHub URL may point to a repository root or a branch sub-path.

You need Node.js 18+, a browser opener on the host, and either a SLICC instance at `localhost:5710` or the SLICC extension in the browser profile. Without Node.js 18+, the helper cannot use the APIs it requires.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill slicc-handoff -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill slicc-handoff -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill slicc-handoff -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install adobe/skills slicc-handoff
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill slicc-handoff -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/adobe/skills --path plugins/aem/edge-delivery-services/skills/slicc-handoff
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill slicc-handoff -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/adobe/skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/aem/edge-delivery-services/skills/slicc-handoff/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- send the current task to SLICC’s browser agent
- continue testing a live site in the browser
- install a GitHub skill into SLICC
- pass SLICC a task without conversation history

## Example prompts
- Hand the current task to SLICC and continue testing the signup flow in the browser.
- Install the skill from `https://github.com/slicc/skills-extra` into SLICC.
- Run `handoff:check the current user flow in the browser` through SLICC.

# SLICC Handoff

This skill bridges the current coding agent and the [SLICC](https://www.sliccy.ai) browser agent. It builds and dispatches a structured handoff that SLICC surfaces to the user as a yes/no approval card.

It supports two verbs:

- `handoff:<instruction>` — continue the current task inside SLICC.
- `upskill:<github-url>` — ask SLICC to install a skill from a GitHub repository.

For canonical SLICC protocol, API, and documentation references, fetch [`https://www.sliccy.ai/llms.txt`](https://www.sliccy.ai/llms.txt) — it is the maintainer-curated, machine-readable index for LLM consumers and is the authoritative source for the handoff/upskill rels, the public API catalog, and links to the protocol and architecture docs.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

- Continue the in-progress task inside the SLICC browser agent (for example, to drive a real browser session, test a flow on a live site, or use a tool only available in SLICC).
- Install a skill from a GitHub repo into a running SLICC instance.

Do **not** use this skill when:

- The user just wants the local agent to keep working — no handoff is needed.
- The user wants to install a skill into the local agent (use the local agent's own skill install flow instead).

## What to Do

1. Compose a single-line, action-oriented instruction that captures what SLICC should do next. Include enough context for SLICC to pick up the work without your conversation history.
2. Pick a verb prefix:
   - `handoff:<instruction>` to continue a task.
   - `upskill:<github-url>` to install a skill. The URL can be the repo root or a `tree/<branch>/<sub/path>` URL to install only a sub-path of the repo.
3. Run the helper script with `--open`:

   ```bash
   node .claude/skills/slicc-handoff/scripts/slicc-handoff --open "handoff:<instruction>"
   ```

   ```bash
   node .claude/skills/slicc-handoff/scripts/slicc-handoff --open "upskill:<github-url>"
   ```

4. Tell the user that SLICC will show an approval prompt in its Chat tab, and they should accept it to dispatch the handoff.

If the user runs a non-default SLICC instance on another port, prefix the call with `SLICC_PORT=5720` (or whatever port they chose) so the localhost POST hits the right instance:

```bash
SLICC_PORT=5720 node .claude/skills/slicc-handoff/scripts/slicc-handoff --open "handoff:<instruction>"
```
