rhdh-local

Skill20 starsChanged 20 days agoApache-2.0View on GitHub

Operates a local Red Hat Developer Hub environment with the rhdh-local-setup customization system: enable or disable dynamic plugins, apply configuration, switch pristine and customized modes, start or stop containers, inspect health and logs, run plugin verification, and back up or restore customizations. Use for local RHDH, podman compose plugin testing, PR artifact verification, 504 or startup troubleshooting, and local Extensions Catalog checks.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If the setup is absent, state the required environment variable or checkout layout and stop only the runtime branch.

    line 24
  2. Very specific:

    Never read secrets from .env into conversation context.

    line 26
  3. Very specific:

    Use this CLI's up and down commands when Lightspeed or Orchestrator is enabled.

    line 50
  4. Distinctive:

    Use those references verbatim.

    line 70

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

RHDH Local

Own local execution and return evidence to the calling workflow. All commands use this skill's standalone CLI; another skill does not need to be installed.

Capability gate

  1. Run uv run scripts/rhdh-local --help.
  2. Locate rhdh-local-setup through RHDH_LOCAL_SETUP_DIR or by walking from the current directory. Run uv run scripts/rhdh-local --json status.
  3. If the setup is absent, state the required environment variable or checkout layout and stop only the runtime branch.
  4. Never read secrets from .env into conversation context. Ask only for missing variable names and let the container runtime consume their values.

Route by outcome

OutcomeLoad and follow
Read a plugin version or artifact at an overlay branch or tagRun python3 scripts/fetch-plugin-metadata.py <plugin-name> --branch <branch-or-tag> --json; default ref is main and runtime setup is not required

Disable a pluginworkflows/disable-plugin.md
Switch pristine/customized modeworkflows/switch-mode.md
Verify a plugin end to endworkflows/test-plugin.md and references/dynamic-plugin-testing.md
Inspect status or enabled packagesRun uv run scripts/rhdh-local --json status or uv run scripts/rhdh-local --json plugins list
Apply customizationsRun uv run scripts/rhdh-local --json apply
Start or stopRun uv run scripts/rhdh-local --json up [flags] or uv run scripts/rhdh-local --json down

Invariants

  • Edit only source files under rhdh-customizations/. Run apply after every edit so copies under rhdh-local/ stay synchronized.
  • Use this CLI's up and down commands when Lightspeed or Orchestrator is enabled; they own the compose lifecycle and shared networks.
  • Obtain package references from spec.dynamicArtifact or from the reference the caller supplied. Never construct OCI references from naming conventions.
  • Preserve the includes: block in dynamic plugin overrides. Put backend packages before their frontend packages.
  • A plugin test succeeds only with recorded installation, boot, health, and UI results relevant to the request. Distinguish an expected credential error from a load failure.

What a caller supplies

A caller invokes this skill by name and states, in conversation:

  • each package reference to enable, with its plugin config or none
  • the environment variables the plugin needs, by name only
  • the catalog test entities the plugin renders against
  • which checks to run: installation, startup, health, UI
  • whether to clean up afterwards

Use those references verbatim. Ask for a missing one rather than reconstructing it from a naming convention.

What this skill reports

Report to the caller in conversation. Do not write into another skill's directory.

  • the subject tested, and the mode it ran in: customized or pristine
  • one line per requested check — installation, startup, health, UI — each passed, failed, or skipped with the reason it was skipped
  • the packages actually enabled, with their exact references
  • the log excerpts that back each result
  • cleanup state: completed, retained, or not requested

Completion

Complete when the report names every source customization file changed, every CLI command run, the health and UI evidence observed, the cleanup state, and one outcome for every check the caller requested.
