SKILL.md
Use this skill to create a scratchpad TypeScript file from the JSDoc Example nearest the user's active source cursor or selection.
Workflow
- Determine the source path and line:
- Use the IDE active file and selection/cursor line when present. - Use an explicit file and line when the user provides them. - If no line or selection is available, ask for it.
- Run:
``sh node .agents/skills/scratchpad/scripts/extract-example.mjs <source-path> <line> ``
- If the script exits with code 2 because there is no obvious runner, ask the
user whether to preserve the example exactly, name an Effect value to run, or cancel. - To preserve exactly, rerun with --mode preserve. - To run a specific Effect value, rerun with --runner <identifier>.
- Report the created path as a clickable file link. This is the deterministic
way to open it in the code pane.
- Do not run the scratchpad file unless the user explicitly asks.
Behavior
- The script chooses the example whose
Examplesection contains the line;
otherwise it chooses the first following example; otherwise the nearest previous example.
- Filenames are derived from the source file and example title, for example
scratchpad/Schedule-retrying-and-repeating-effects.ts.
- Existing files are not overwritten. The script appends a numeric suffix.
- In auto mode, if a top-level
programbinding exists, the script appends:
``ts Effect.runPromise(program).then(console.log, console.error) ``
- If the example already contains an Effect runner, the script preserves it.
