## What it does

The skill works with the extension in `extensions/vscode`. It uses `pnpm` to install dependencies and build the project, and can run the typecheck and tests. For Antigravity IDE, it can link the extension into the IDE’s extensions directory. Reload the IDE window afterward to activate the Tendril sidebar and commands.

Helper scripts cover installation, removal, and `.vsix` packaging. You can also create a package with `npx @vscode/vsce package --no-dependencies`. Antigravity IDE runs VS Code engine `1.107.0`, so it rejects a VSIX that requires a newer engine version; for local development, the skill recommends linking the extension directly.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril --skill tendril-extension -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril --skill tendril-extension -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril --skill tendril-extension -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril tendril-extension
```

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

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril --skill tendril-extension -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril --path skills/tendril-extension
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril --skill tendril-extension -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/Ivy-Interactive/Ivy-Tendril/tree/HEAD/skills/tendril-extension/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build the Ivy Tendril extension from `extensions/vscode`
- link the extension into Antigravity IDE
- run the extension’s typecheck and tests
- package the extension as a `.vsix` archive
- remove the extension from Antigravity IDE

## Example prompts
- Build Ivy Tendril and install it in Antigravity IDE.

# Ivy Tendril Extension Skill

This skill provides procedures and helper scripts for building, testing, packaging, and installing the Ivy Tendril extension directly into **Antigravity IDE** or VS Code.

## Directory & Environment

- **Extension Directory**: `extensions/vscode`
- **Antigravity Extensions Directory**: `~/.antigravity-ide/extensions`
- **Installed Extension Name**: `ivy-interactive.ivy-tendril-0.1.0`
- **Package Manager**: `pnpm` (fixed versions configured via `.npmrc`)

---

## Common Workflows

### 1. Install / Link to Antigravity IDE

To compile the latest extension bundle and link it live into Antigravity IDE:

```bash
skills/tendril-extension/scripts/install-antigravity.sh
```

Or manually:

```bash
cd extensions/vscode
pnpm install
pnpm run build
mkdir -p ~/.antigravity-ide/extensions
ln -sfn "$(pwd)" ~/.antigravity-ide/extensions/ivy-interactive.ivy-tendril-0.1.0
antigravity-ide --list-extensions | grep "ivy-interactive.ivy-tendril"
```

After installing/linking:
1. Reload Antigravity IDE by opening the Command Palette (`Cmd+Shift+P`) and selecting **Developer: Reload Window**.
2. The Tendril sidebar view and commands (`Tendril: Open Dashboard`, `Tendril: Start Server`, etc.) are now active.

---

### 2. Package as `.vsix` Archive

To build a standalone VSIX distribution file:

```bash
skills/tendril-extension/scripts/package-vsix.sh
```

Or manually:

```bash
cd extensions/vscode
pnpm install
pnpm run build
npx @vscode/vsce package --no-dependencies
```

> [!NOTE]
> Since Antigravity IDE runs VS Code engine `1.107.0`, installing a VSIX with an engine requirement greater than `1.107.0` via `antigravity-ide --install-extension` will be rejected by the version validator. The direct symlink method (Workflow 1) is the recommended approach for local development and daily usage.

---

### 3. Run Extension Tests & Typecheck

To verify extension integrity and TypeScript compliance:

```bash
cd extensions/vscode
pnpm run typecheck
pnpm test
```

---

### 4. Uninstall / Unlink from Antigravity IDE

To remove the extension from Antigravity IDE:

```bash
skills/tendril-extension/scripts/uninstall-antigravity.sh
```

Or manually:

```bash
rm -rf ~/.antigravity-ide/extensions/ivy-interactive.ivy-tendril-0.1.0
```
