Summary

Injects harness-listed skill names into the agent definition's YAML frontmatter skills: section during ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap, ensuring skills reliably activate without requiring an explicit Skill tool call in the prompt body.

Changes

  • internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go — New InjectFrontmatterSkills function that parses agent definition frontmatter, deduplicates skill names by basename, and injects missing harness skills. Handles edge cases: no frontmatter (creates one), no skills: section (appends one), BOM-prefixed files, and all-skills-already-present (returns unchanged).
  • internal/runtime/claude.go — Modified ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap to read the agent file once, inject frontmatter skills from input.SkillDirs(), then upload the modified content via uploadBytes instead of UploadFile.
  • internal/runtime/claude_test.go — Fixed TestClaudeRuntime_Bootstrap_OpenshellNotInPath to pass a file path (not a directory) as agentPath, matching the updated read-then-upload flow.
  • internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills_test.go — Comprehensive test coverage (97.5%) for deduplication, no-frontmatter creation, no-skills-section injection, BOM handling, deterministic ordering, empty inputs, and frontmatter preservation.

Testing

  • All internal/runtime/... tests pass
  • go build ./... succeeds
  • go vet ./internal/runtime/... passes
  • gofmt applied — no formatting issues
  • Patch coverage at 97.5% (above 80% threshold)
  • Secret scan passed

Closes #6681

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Anchored at prior score 2/moderate: Tier1 metadata remains materially unchanged (6 files, 880 vs 856 lines, large blast radius, 0.33 test ratio, bot authorship, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes), Tier2 churn/fix-revert history on the pre-existing files (claude.go, pi_bootstrap.go) remains elevated but matches the previously observed pattern, and Tier3 issue-linkage signals show a scoped, well-matched feature request with no risk labels or unresolved discussion; the weighted composite confirms no specific new signal has appeared since the prior review to justify moving off 2/moderate.

Previous run

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Anchored at prior score 2/moderate: Tier1 metadata is unchanged in kind (same 6 files, 856 vs 851 lines, large blast radius, 0.33 test ratio, bot/human-mixed authorship, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes) giving weighted composite (1.630.5 + 2.50.3 + 2.5*0.2 ~= 2.06 -> 2); the single new commit since the prior review (80ffc8a) is a human-authored internal rewrite of frontmatter-skills parsing with added test coverage rather than a scope or risk-profile change, and while claude.go/pi_bootstrap.go continue to show elevated churn and fix/revert history, this is the same pattern already reflected in the prior assessment, so no specific new signal justifies moving off 2/moderate.

Previous run (2)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Weighted composite (Tier1 1.630.5 + Tier2 2.290.3 + Tier3 2.5*0.2 ~= 2.0) matches the prior anchored score of 2/moderate: Tier 1 metadata is essentially unchanged (863 vs 851 lines, same large blast radius, 0.33 test ratio, bot author, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes); Tier 2 still shows elevated churn and fix/revert history on claude.go and pi_bootstrap.go but the bulk of the diff (823 lines) remains two net-new, well-tested files; Tier 3s well-scoped, closely-matching issue is offset slightly by the lack of a feature flag guarding the new always-on skill-injection behavior, keeping overall risk at 2/moderate.

Previous run (3)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Tier 1 metadata is materially unchanged from the prior assessment (851 vs 808 lines, same large blast radius, 0.33 test ratio, bot author, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes); Tier 2 shows the same elevated churn on claude.go and pi_bootstrap.go with fix/revert history, but the bulk of the diff remains two net-new, well-tested files, and Tier 3's well-scoped, matching issue continues to offset risk, so the score is anchored to the prior 2/moderate.

Previous run (4)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Tier 1 metadata shows line count at 808 and large blast radius elevating the change-size dimension, but all other Tier 1 dimensions remain low (33% test ratio, bot author, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes). Tier 2 git history on claude.go remains elevated (high churn, 8 authors, fix commits) but the actual modification is small with the bulk being two net-new files. Tier 3 linked issue #6681 is well-scoped and PR scope matches. Anchored to prior assessment of 2/moderate.

Previous run (5)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Tier 1 metadata shows elevated line count (763) and large blast radius raising the change-size dimension to 5, but all other Tier 1 dimensions score 1 (33% test ratio, bot author, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes). Tier 2 git history on claude.go remains elevated (high churn, 8 authors, fix commits) but the actual modification is small with the bulk being two net-new files. Tier 3 linked issue is well-scoped and PR scope matches. Anchored to prior assessment. Composite holds at 2/moderate.

Previous run (6)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Tier 1 metadata shows elevated line count (659) and large blast radius raising the change-size dimension, but all other Tier 1 dimensions score 1 (50% test ratio, bot author, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes). Tier 2 git history on claude.go remains elevated (high churn, 8 authors, fix commits) but the actual modification is small with the bulk being two net-new files. Tier 3 linked issue is well-scoped. Composite holds at 2/moderate, consistent with prior assessment.

Details

Tier 1 metadata shows increased line count (640) and large blast radius raising the change-size dimension, but all other Tier 1 dimensions score 1 (50% test ratio, bot author, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes). Tier 2 git history on claude.go remains elevated (high churn, 8 authors, fix commits) but the actual change is small with the bulk being two net-new files. Tier 3 linked issue is well-scoped. Composite holds at 2/moderate, consistent with prior assessment.

Previous run (9)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Unchanged from prior assessment: well-scoped additive feature (2 new files, minor edits to 2 existing) with strong test coverage (50% test ratio) from a known bot author; elevated git history signals on claude.go (high churn, 8 authors, fix commits in 90d) are offset by low security/dependency/CI impact and mostly-new-file composition, holding the composite at moderate risk.

Previous run (10)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Unchanged from prior assessment: well-scoped additive feature (2 new files, minor edits to 2 existing) with strong test coverage (50% test ratio) from a known bot author; elevated git history signals on claude.go (high churn, 8 authors, 16 fix commits in 90d) are offset by low security/dependency/CI impact and mostly-new-file composition, holding the composite at moderate risk.

Previous run (11)

Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5)

Details

Moderate risk: well-scoped additive feature with strong test coverage (50% test ratio) from a known bot author, but modifies claude.go which is a high-churn hotspot with significant multi-author contention and regression history.

Findings

Medium

  • [dco-signoff-violation] Six commits still present in this PR's history (ddeaecaf, 89e6c6ff, 7c0e2847, 4b7c78ac, dbffe21f, a1f19dba) are authored under the bot commit-author identities fullsend-code/fullsend-fix (author login fullsend-ai-coder[bot]) but each still carries a Signed-off-by: Adam Scerra <ascerra@redhat.com> trailer, verified directly against the current PR commit list at head SHA acdc7f8f3187e3ed63f7e9f2288f2e54c0aa1f3f. This is the same issue flagged in every prior review of this PR and remains unresolved — the offending commits are unchanged from the prior review's head; only newer, correctly-authored-and-signed human commits have been added on top. AGENTS.md is explicit that autonomous agent commits are exempt and must never carry a DCO sign-off, since they commit using the bot identity that the Probot DCO app auto-skips; a human signing off on bot-authored commits certifies authorship of work the human didn't write, which is exactly what the exemption exists to avoid.
    Remediation: Fix the fix-agent's commit template so it does not append Signed-off-by trailers to commits it authors under the bot identity. This is a harness/automation fix, not a change to the files in this diff.

  • [logic-error] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:184 — In the no-frontmatter branch of injectFrontmatterSkills, newly injected skill names are written as bare YAML scalars via fmt.Fprintf(" - %s%s", name, eol) with no type tagging, while rewriteFrontmatterSkills (the existing-frontmatter path) explicitly tags injected names as !!str. isValidSkillName only restricts characters to [a-zA-Z0-9._-], which still permits YAML 1.1 scalars that parse as non-string types when unquoted (e.g. true, yes, off, 1.0, .nan). A harness skill directory basename colliding with one of these tokens would produce a boolean/float/null node in a newly created skills: list instead of the intended string.
    Remediation: Build the created frontmatter using the same yaml.Node/!!str-tagged encoding path used in rewriteFrontmatterSkills (or explicitly quote injected names) instead of raw fmt.Fprintf, and add a test for a skill directory basename that is a YAML-special token (e.g. true or 1.0) on the no-frontmatter path.

  • [edge-case] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:50 — An agent file with present-but-empty frontmatter fences (e.g. "---\n---\nBody\n") is accepted by parsePiAgent, but injectFrontmatterSkills fails on it: frontBytes is empty, and rewriteFrontmatterSkills's guard len(doc.Content) != 1 || doc.Content[0].Kind != yaml.MappingNode rejects it with "frontmatter must be a YAML mapping". ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap propagates this as a hard error ("injecting frontmatter skills: %w"), so an agent definition that previously bootstrapped successfully with empty frontmatter now fails outright once harness skills are configured.
    Remediation: Treat a missing or empty parsed document as an empty mapping before locating/creating the skills sequence (e.g. synthesize an empty MappingNode when doc.Content is empty), and add a regression test for "---\n---\nBody\n" with a non-empty skillDirs argument.

  • [incomplete-issue-closure] The PR body states "Closes Dynamically inject harness-listed skills into agent prompt frontmatter for always-on activation #6681", but issue Dynamically inject harness-listed skills into agent prompt frontmatter for always-on activation #6681's technical approach lists three items: (1) inject skill names into frontmatter, (2) validate that frontmatter inclusion reliably triggers activation in Claude Code, (3) handle YAML formatting edge cases. This PR (including the rewritten frontmatter_skills.go/frontmatter_skills_test.go) thoroughly implements parts 1 and 3, but part 2 — empirical validation that Claude Code actually activates frontmatter-listed skills without an explicit Skill tool call — is not demonstrated anywhere in the diff; all tests exercise the injector in isolation against synthetic YAML strings. This gap was already noted in an earlier review cycle and remains true after this update's parsing rewrite, since the rewrite improved robustness of the mechanical transformation without adding empirical validation of the core hypothesis the issue asks to validate.
    Remediation: Either add empirical evidence (a documented manual verification, a behaviour/e2e test exercising an actual Claude Code session with frontmatter-only skill declarations, or a link to observed results) demonstrating frontmatter-triggered activation before closing the issue, or soften the PR body's closing claim (e.g. "Addresses Dynamically inject harness-listed skills into agent prompt frontmatter for always-on activation #6681 (parts 1 and 3); activation still needs empirical validation") and keep the issue open until that validation is done.

  • [stale-doc] docs/glossary.md:73 — The "Always-on Skill" glossary entry contains a "Planned" banner stating that default activation via frontmatter injection "is tracked in Dynamically inject harness-listed skills into agent prompt frontmatter for always-on activation #6681 / feat(#6681): inject harness skills into agent frontmatter for always-on activation #6859" and describes the behavior in future tense ("will activate ... once Dynamically inject harness-listed skills into agent prompt frontmatter for always-on activation #6681 lands: bootstrap will inject ... Until then, today's harness-listed skills follow the upload-and-list path"). This PR implements exactly that frontmatter-injection mechanism in ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap, so the entry becomes factually incorrect once this PR lands — the feature it describes as planned/future is landing in this PR.
    Remediation: Update the "Always-on Skill" entry in docs/glossary.md to remove the "Planned" banner and describe frontmatter injection as active (at least on the Claude runtime), updating the future-tense language accordingly.

  • [logic-error] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:194rewriteFrontmatterSkills walks the parsed yaml.Node for a key literally named skills and does not resolve YAML merge keys (<<:). For frontmatter whose skills list is populated only via merge (e.g. defaults: &d\n skills: [skill-a]\n<<: *d), the function appends a sibling skills: mapping entry containing only the newly injected names, alongside the untouched merge key. Because the appended pair lands at the end of mapping.Content and yaml.v3 gives explicit keys precedence over merged ones, the injected names do survive, but any existing skill name present only through the merge (not restated explicitly) can be shadowed. This is an edge case — agent frontmatter in this repo does not currently use <<: merge keys — but the rewrite's node-walk does not special-case it, and no test exercises a merge-key frontmatter.
    Remediation: If merge-key frontmatter needs to be supported, resolve <<: (or unmarshal the mapping post-merge) before locating the effective skills sequence, and add a test for defaults: &d\n skills: [skill-a]\n<<: *d asserting both the merge-sourced name and the injected name appear in the final list. Otherwise, document that <<: merge keys in agent frontmatter are unsupported.

  • [stale-doc] docs/guides/user/bring-your-own-agent.md:262 — The guide instructs authors to reference skills in both the agent frontmatter and the harness. ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap (added in this PR) now auto-injects harness-listed skills into the agent frontmatter, so for the Claude runtime manual frontmatter entries are no longer strictly required (dual-reference still works via deduplication, but injection is Claude-runtime-specific and this doc doesn't mention it).
    Remediation: Keep dual-reference as the portable authoring recipe, but add a note explaining that fullsend's Claude runtime auto-injects harness skills into agent frontmatter at bootstrap, making manual frontmatter entries optional (and deduplicated if present) on that runtime.

  • [stale-doc] docs/guides/user/building-custom-agents.md:438 — Step 6 instructs authors to reference a skill in both the agent frontmatter and the harness. With frontmatter injection added in ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap by this PR, explicitly listing harness-provided skills in the agent frontmatter is now optional on the Claude runtime, which this step doesn't mention.
    Remediation: Clarify in Step 6 that fullsend's Claude runtime automatically injects harness skills into agent frontmatter at bootstrap, so listing them in the committed agent frontmatter file is optional on that runtime.

  • [logic-error] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:239injectFrontmatterSkills parses existing skills with yaml.Unmarshal (which accepts any valid YAML) but rewrites the frontmatter with a line scanner that only skips flow-style continuations when they are indented or a bare ]. An unindented multiline flow sequence (e.g. skills: [\n skill-a,\n skill-b\n]) leaves flowEndIdx at -1, so the original continuation lines get copied after the rewritten block list, producing invalid/duplicated YAML. Separately, the key match bytes.HasPrefix(line, []byte("skills:")) misses valid forms yaml.Unmarshal already accepted, such as a quoted key ("skills": [...]) or a space before the colon (skills :); a second skills: block is then appended, and YAML's last-key-wins semantics can silently drop the original list. None of the existing tests cover unindented multiline flow, quoted keys, or skills :.
    Remediation: Parse the frontmatter into a yaml.v3 Node, append missing sequence items on the skills node (creating it if absent), and marshal that node back between the original fences; re-parse the result and error if invalid. Add tests for the three cases above.

  • [fail-open] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:91parsePiAgent explicitly rejects a first line that starts with --- but is not an exact frontmatter fence (e.g. ---- or --- # comment), because treating it as all-body would silently drop the tools: restriction. injectFrontmatterSkills uses only isFrontmatterFence(lines[0]) to decide hasFrontmatter, and on the same malformed input takes the "no frontmatter" branch, wrapping a brand-new skills-only frontmatter block around the original bytes. ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap only logs (and continues) on a parsePiAgent error, then unconditionally calls injectFrontmatterSkills and uploads the result — so a malformed-fence agent definition is uploaded with a well-formed frontmatter that has lost its original name:/tools:/disallowedTools: fields, producing a more permissive (unconstrained-tools) agent than the original file, the same failure class the surrounding comments cite for Fail when the requested Claude agent name is unavailable #6764. Exploitability is bounded since agent definitions are harness-sourced, not external content, but the divergence from parsePiAgent's fail-closed handling of this exact case is real.
    Remediation: Align injectFrontmatterSkills with parsePiAgent: if content starts with --- but the first line is not an exact fence, return an error instead of treating it as "no frontmatter."

This is the same issue flagged in the prior review (on different SHAs, before a rebase) and remains unresolved.

  • [injection-pattern] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:266 — On the flow-style/non-block rewrite path, existing skill names parsed via yaml.Unmarshal into fm.Skills are re-emitted as bare, unquoted YAML scalars (fmt.Fprintf(&result, " - %s%s", s, eol)) with no isValidSkillName check. This path only triggers when the existing skills: value is flow-style ([a, b]), null, or carries a YAML anchor, and a new harness skill is being injected. Harness-derived names (added/newNames) are validated before being embedded; the pre-existing fm.Skills values are not. A quoted scalar that is safe as a single string in the original document (e.g., containing a colon or a YAML anchor reference) can become extra YAML keys or override adjacent frontmatter fields like tools:/disallowedTools: once re-serialized as an unquoted bare scalar. Low severity because the agent definition frontmatter is not currently attacker-controlled input in this codebase's threat model — this is a defense-in-depth gap in the rewriter, not a demonstrated new attack surface.
    Remediation: Marshal fm.Skills entries through yaml.v3 (as quoted string nodes) instead of fmt.Fprintf-ing them as bare scalars, or reject any fm.Skills entry that fails isValidSkillName before re-emitting it, matching the treatment already given to the newly injected names.

  • [logic error] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:184 — The flow-end detection loop breaks on an empty line (if len(frontLines[j]) == 0 { break }) before checking whether subsequent lines contain the closing ]. For a multi-line flow-style array with a blank line before the closing bracket (e.g., skills: [\n a,\n\n]), the loop breaks at the blank line, leaving flowEndIdx pointing to the last continuation line before the blank. The reconstruction loop then fails to skip the ] line and writes it into the output as literal frontmatter content.
    Remediation: Change the flow-end detection to continue on empty lines instead of break, so scanning reaches the closing ] past any intervening blank lines.

  • [error-message-style] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:118 — The error message "unterminated frontmatter" omits a domain prefix. The analogous error in parsePiAgent (pi_agent.go:72) uses "agent definition: unterminated frontmatter". Other errors in the same function use prefixes (e.g., "parsing frontmatter: %w").

  • [error-message-style] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:131 — The error "skills field must be a YAML list, got scalar: %w" uses a full-sentence prefix before %w wrapping. The codebase convention uses short lowercase gerund phrases (e.g., "parsing frontmatter: %w", "creating temp file: %w").

  • [scope-vs-authorization] internal/runtime/claude.go — Skill injection is implemented only in ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap, not in PiRuntime.Bootstrap. This is architecturally correct — pi activates uploaded skills natively via filesystem discovery and does not use frontmatter skills: entries — but the scoping decision is not documented in the code or PR body.

The condition at line 170 (trimmed == "skills:") only matches the bare block form; any other suffix falls into the else branch, setting flowStyleSkills = true. When no closing ] is found in subsequent lines, flowEndIdx is set to the index of the last frontmatter line, and the reconstruction loop (line 216) silently skips all frontmatter keys between skills: and the end of the block (e.g., model:, description:, disallowedTools:).
    Remediation: After detecting the skills: prefix, check whether the value portion actually starts with [ before setting flowStyleSkills = true. For example: rest := strings.TrimSpace(trimmed[len("skills:"):]); if strings.HasPrefix(rest, "[") { flowStyleSkills = true; ... } else { inSkillsBlock = true }.

Low

  • [code-organization] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:75 — The isFence closure and the BOM-stripping + line-splitting + fence-scanning pattern duplicate the identical logic in parsePiAgent (pi_agent.go:42-58). Other shared helpers in this package (hasTool, shellQuote, validateAgentNameMatch) are already extracted to package-level functions.
    Remediation: Extract isFence as a package-level unexported function (e.g., func isFrontmatterFence(line []byte) bool).

  • [architectural-coherence] internal/runtime/claude.go:86 — The uploadBytes helper (defined in pi_bootstrap.go:302) uses a fullsend-pi-* temp-file prefix. Now that the Claude runtime also calls it, the pi-specific prefix is misleading.
    Remediation: Rename the temp file prefix to fullsend-runtime-* or similar.

  • [edge-case] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:234 — When the input uses CRLF line endings, injected skill lines use Unix-style \n only while existing lines preserve \r\n, producing mixed line endings.

  • [hex literal casing] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:62 — BOM byte sequence uses lowercase hex escapes (\xef\xbb\xbf) while the identical operation in pi_agent.go:42 uses uppercase (\xEF\xBB\xBF). The codebase convention (the only other BOM-stripping site) is uppercase.
    Remediation: Change to bytes.TrimPrefix(content, []byte("\xEF\xBB\xBF")) to match pi_agent.go.

  • [edge-case] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:145 — The skills-block detection uses bytes.HasPrefix(line, []byte("skills:")) to match only top-level (unindented) skills: keys, correctly avoiding false matches inside indented block scalar continuations (tested by TestInjectFrontmatterSkills_BlockScalarNoFalseMatch). The theoretical gap with unindented continuation lines in block scalars requires invalid YAML input, which yaml.Unmarshal would reject before reaching the text-level reconstruction.

  • [BOM stripping side-effect] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:129 — In the "all skills already present" no-op path, the function returns content (BOM-stripped) instead of data (original). The other early-return paths return data unchanged. This inconsistency is documented via a dedicated test, suggesting it is intentional.

  • [edge-case] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:197 — When the input uses CRLF line endings, injected skill lines use Unix-style \n only while existing lines preserve \r\n, producing mixed line endings. Claude Code and YAML parsers handle this without issue.

Findings

Low

  • [edge-case] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:91 — When the frontmatter contains a skills: key with a non-list scalar value (e.g., skills: my-single-skill), yaml.Unmarshal into []string returns an error that surfaces as a Bootstrap failure with the message "parsing frontmatter: ...". While agent definitions are validated before reaching production and fail-closed behavior is safe, the error message does not indicate that the skills field has an unexpected type. Minor usability gap, not a correctness bug.

  • [error message consistency] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:57 — The error message for invalid skill names uses a full-sentence format ("skill name %q ... contains characters unsafe for YAML; must match ...") while other errors in this file use noun-phrase wrapping style ("parsing frontmatter: ...", "unterminated frontmatter"). Minor style inconsistency.
    Remediation: Reword to: fmt.Errorf("invalid skill name %q from %q: must match [a-zA-Z0-9._-]+", name, d)

  • [BOM stripping side-effect] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:129 — In the "all skills already present" no-op path, the function returns content (BOM-stripped) instead of data (original).

Review

Findings

Low

  • [edge-case] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:61 — In the no-frontmatter path, newNames are written directly without deduplication or sorting. If two skill directories share the same basename (e.g., /a/skill-x and /b/skill-x), duplicate entries would be emitted. The existing-frontmatter path deduplicates via the existing map and sorts added. In practice, duplicateDestinationNameError is called later in Bootstrap and would reject duplicate basenames, so this cannot produce a corrupted agent definition — but the function's own contract ("deduplication by basename") is not honored on this path.
    Remediation: Deduplicate and sort newNames before use, or at minimum before the no-frontmatter early-return path.

  • [naming-convention] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills_test.go:12 — Test functions use Test_injectFrontmatterSkills_* (underscore between Test and the function name). Every other test in this package uses TestPascalCase or TestPascalCase_Subcase — never Test_lowercase.
    Remediation: Rename to TestInjectFrontmatterSkills_* (e.g. TestInjectFrontmatterSkills_ExistingSkillsDedup).

  • [error-message-convention] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:80 — Error messages use the prefix "inject frontmatter skills: ...". The call site in claude.go wraps them with fmt.Errorf("injecting frontmatter skills: %w", err), producing a stuttered chain like "injecting frontmatter skills: inject frontmatter skills: unterminated frontmatter".
    Remediation: Either drop the prefix from the inner errors or use a distinct noun-phrase prefix like "frontmatter skills:".

Review

Findings

Medium

  • [edge-case] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:100 — The text-based skills-block detection (trimmed == "skills:") only matches the YAML block mapping form. YAML flow-style values like skills: [skill-a, skill-b] or skills: [] will not match, so the function falls through to append a second skills: key at the end of the frontmatter. YAML last-key-wins semantics mean the original inline skills are silently discarded and replaced by only the injected names. The yaml.Unmarshal dedup set is correctly populated, but the text-level reconstruction doesn't account for this format.
    Remediation: Either normalize the detection to match any line starting with skills: (e.g., strings.HasPrefix(trimmed, "skills:")) and replace the entire line with a block-form list, or round-trip the full frontmatter through the YAML parser.

Low

  • [edge-case] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:107 — YAML comments inside the skills: block cause inSkillsBlock to flip to false prematurely (trimmed != "" but not a list item), so subsequent - skill-name entries below the comment are not tracked. Injected skills are inserted mid-block rather than at the end. The resulting YAML is still valid but the ordering is surprising.
    Remediation: Add comment handling: if strings.HasPrefix(trimmed, "#") { continue } inside the inSkillsBlock branch.

  • [naming-convention] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go:17InjectFrontmatterSkills is exported but only called within the same package (from claude.go Bootstrap). The package convention is to export only types/functions that other packages consume; internal helpers like parsePiAgent, uploadBytes, buildRunCommand are all unexported.
    Remediation: Rename to injectFrontmatterSkills to match the package convention.

  • [stdlib-reuse] internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills_test.go:219 — The test file defines custom indexOf and countOccurrences helpers that duplicate strings.Index and strings.Count from the standard library. Other test files in this package use stdlib functions directly.
    Remediation: Replace indexOf calls with strings.Index and countOccurrences calls with strings.Count.

🔧 Fix agent — iteration 1 (bot-triggered)

Addressed all four review findings: fixed flow-style YAML skills detection (medium), fixed comment handling in skills block (low), unexported the function per package convention (low), and replaced custom test helpers with stdlib equivalents (low). Added three new test cases covering flow-style skills, empty flow-style, and comments within skills blocks. All 13 tests pass.

Fixed (4):

  1. Flow-style skills values (e.g. skills: [a, b]) not detected by text-based skills-block detection (internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go): Changed detection from exact skills: match to strings.HasPrefix(trimmed, "skills:"). When a flow-style value is detected, the line is rewritten in block form using the values already parsed by yaml.Unmarshal, then new skills are appended after.
  2. YAML comments inside skills block cause premature block-end detection (internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go): Added strings.HasPrefix(trimmed, "#") check inside the inSkillsBlock branch to skip over YAML comments without ending the block, so subsequent list items are still tracked.
  3. InjectFrontmatterSkills is exported but only called within the same package (internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go): Renamed to injectFrontmatterSkills to match the package convention of unexported internal helpers. Updated call site in claude.go and all test function references.
  4. Custom indexOf and countOccurrences helpers duplicate strings.Index and strings.Count (internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills_test.go): Removed custom indexOf and countOccurrences functions, replaced all call sites with strings.Index and strings.Count from stdlib, added strings import.

🔧 Fix agent — iteration 2 (bot-triggered)

Addressed all three review findings: deduplicate and sort skill names before the no-frontmatter path, rename test functions to match PascalCase convention, and remove stuttered error message prefixes.

Fixed (3):

  1. No-frontmatter path writes newNames without deduplication or sorting (internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go): Deduplicate newNames by basename using a seen map and sort them before the no-frontmatter early-return path, matching the behavior of the existing-frontmatter path. Added a test (TestInjectFrontmatterSkills_NoFrontmatterDedup) covering duplicate basenames.
  2. Test functions use Test_injectFrontmatterSkills_ naming convention instead of TestPascalCase* (internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills_test.go): Renamed all 13 test functions from Test_injectFrontmatterSkills_* to TestInjectFrontmatterSkills_* to match the package convention.
  3. Error messages stutter when wrapped by call site (internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go): Dropped the redundant 'inject frontmatter skills: ' prefix from inner error messages, leaving just the specific error description ('unterminated frontmatter' and 'parsing frontmatter: ...'), so the call site's 'injecting frontmatter skills: ' wrapper does not stutter.

…on activation

Skills listed in a harness skills: configuration are uploaded into the
sandbox but may not reliably activate because the agent definition's
frontmatter does not list them. This causes team behavior-modifier
skills to silently fail to apply.

Add InjectFrontmatterSkills to dynamically inject harness-listed skill
names into the agent prompt's YAML frontmatter skills: section during
ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap. Existing frontmatter entries are preserved,
new names are appended with deduplication by basename, and a skills:
section is created if absent. The injection happens before the agent
file is uploaded to the sandbox, ensuring Claude Code loads the skills
without requiring an explicit Skill tool call in the prompt body.

Files changed:
- internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills.go: new InjectFrontmatterSkills
  function with YAML-aware frontmatter parsing and injection
- internal/runtime/claude.go: call InjectFrontmatterSkills in Bootstrap
  before uploading the agent definition; read agent file once and use
  uploadBytes instead of UploadFile
- internal/runtime/claude_test.go: fix test that passed a directory as
  agent path (now correctly uses a file)
- internal/runtime/frontmatter_skills_test.go: comprehensive tests
  covering dedup, no-frontmatter, no-skills-section, BOM, ordering

Note: pre-commit could not run in sandbox (network-restricted); local
hooks (gofmt, go vet) passed. go test and go build passed.

…p prefix

Address all review findings on PR #6859:

- Fix logic error where skills: lines with trailing comments or null
  values were misclassified as flow-style arrays, silently skipping
  subsequent frontmatter keys. Now checks whether the value after
  "skills:" starts with "[" before entering flow-style handling.
- Extract isFence closure as package-level isFrontmatterFence function
  shared by parsePiAgent and injectFrontmatterSkills.
- Rename uploadBytes temp file prefix from "fullsend-pi-*" to
  "fullsend-runtime-*" since both Claude and pi runtimes use it.
- Detect CRLF line endings and use matching endings for injected skill
  lines to avoid mixed line endings.

Strategy change (iteration 5): instead of patching individual detection
cases, classify the skills: value by inspecting what follows the colon
(empty/comment → block, "[" → flow, other → rewrite as block).

Addresses #6859

Signed-off-by: Adam Scerra <ascerra@redhat.com>
Replace the fragile ]-based multi-line flow scan with a unified
indentation-based approach that skips all continuation content after
the skills: line. This fixes two bugs:

1. A ] inside a YAML comment on a flow-array continuation line
   (e.g., "code-review, # see ] for details") terminated the scan
   early, leaking remaining lines into the output as invalid YAML.

2. A YAML anchor on the skills value (e.g., "skills: &defaults")
   hit the else branch which replaced the skills: line but did not
   skip subsequent block list items, producing duplicate entries.

Also: remove redundant sort.Strings(added) since added is built from
already-sorted newNames, and fix "got scalar" error message that
incorrectly described YAML mappings as scalars.

[low] logic-error

In the no-frontmatter branch of injectFrontmatterSkills, newly injected skill names are written as bare YAML scalars via fmt.Fprintf(" - %s%s", name, eol) with no type tagging, while rewriteFrontmatterSkills explicitly tags injected names as !!str. isValidSkillName only restricts characters to [a-zA-Z0-9._-], which still permits YAML 1.1 scalars that parse as non-string types when unquoted (e.g. "true", "yes", "off", "1.0", ".nan"). A harness skill directory basename colliding with one of these tokens would produce a boolean/float/null node in a newly created skills: list instead of the intended string.

Suggested fix: Build the created frontmatter using the same yaml.Node/!!str-tagged encoding path used in rewriteFrontmatterSkills (or explicitly quote injected names) instead of raw fmt.Fprintf, and add a test for a skill directory basename that is a YAML-special token (e.g. "true" or "1.0") on the no-frontmatter path.

[low] edge-case

An agent file with present-but-empty frontmatter fences (e.g. "---\n---\nBody\n") is accepted by parsePiAgent, but injectFrontmatterSkills fails on it: frontBytes is empty, and rewriteFrontmatterSkills's guard len(doc.Content) != 1 || doc.Content[0].Kind != yaml.MappingNode rejects it with "frontmatter must be a YAML mapping". ClaudeRuntime.Bootstrap propagates this as a hard error once harness skills are configured, so an agent definition that previously bootstrapped successfully with empty frontmatter now fails outright.

Suggested fix: Treat a missing or empty parsed document as an empty mapping before locating/creating the skills sequence (e.g. synthesize an empty MappingNode when doc.Content is empty), and add a regression test for "---\n---\nBody\n" with a non-empty skillDirs argument.
