name: generate-schema description: | Generate the conclaude-schema.json configuration schema file using src/bin/generate-schema.rs. USE WHEN the configuration format changes, new config fields are added, or the schema needs to be updated for release or testing.

Generate Schema

This skill helps you generate the conclaude-schema.json file that defines the configuration schema for conclaude. The schema is used for validation and is published as a release asset.

USE WHEN

Use this skill when:

• Adding new configuration fields to conclaude
• Modifying existing configuration structure
• Changing hook definitions or their schema
• Updating configuration validation rules
• Preparing for a new release that includes config changes
• The schema file is out of sync with the code
• Implementing new features that add configuration options

Do NOT use this skill when:

• Just reading or viewing the current schema
• Working on features that don't affect configuration
• Making non-configuration code changes

How It Works

The schema generator (src/bin/generate-schema.rs) uses the conclaude library's built-in schema generation capabilities to:

1. Introspect the Rust configuration structs
2. Generate a JSON Schema representation
3. Write it to conclaude-schema.json at the workspace root

The generated schema file is then published as a release asset for users to reference.

Instructions

Step 1: Make Your Configuration Changes

First, implement your configuration changes in the relevant Rust files (typically src/config.rs or related modules).

Step 2: Generate the Schema

Run the schema generator:

cargo run --bin generate-schema

This will:

• Generate the schema from the current configuration code
• Write it to conclaude-schema.json in the workspace root
• Display a success message

Step 3: Verify the Changes

Check the generated schema file:

cat conclaude-schema.json

Or use a JSON formatter:

jq . conclaude-schema.json

Look for:

• Your new fields appear with correct types
• Descriptions are accurate and helpful
• Required fields are marked appropriately
• Enum values are correct

Step 4: Commit the Schema

Include the updated schema in your commit:

git add conclaude-schema.json
git commit -m "Update schema for [your feature]"

Expected Output

When successful, you'll see:

[OK] Schema generated successfully: conclaude-schema.json
     The schema file is ready to be published as a release asset.

Common Issues

Build Errors

If the generator fails to build:

• Ensure your Rust code compiles: cargo build
• Check for syntax errors in configuration structs
• Verify all dependencies are available

Schema Validation Errors

If the generated schema doesn't match expectations:

• Check your derive macros on configuration structs
• Ensure you're using the correct serde attributes
• Review the schema generation code in src/schema.rs

File Permission Errors

If it fails to write the file:

• Ensure you have write permissions in the workspace root
• Check that conclaude-schema.json isn't locked by another process

Notes

• The schema is automatically generated from code, so manual edits to conclaude-schema.json will be overwritten
• Always regenerate the schema after configuration changes
• The schema is version-controlled and should be kept in sync with the code
• The schema file is published as a release asset for external tools and IDEs
