feat(init): sync installed skills with the manifest - #8556
Conversation
netlify init now syncs the hosted Netlify skills manifest into the project's agent skills directory, verifying every file's SHA-256 and applying the stale/renamed/deprecated rules so repeat runs are no-ops. --skip-agent-setup opts out; failures warn and never block init. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review fixes: 10s per-request and 120s overall fetch deadline, follow a symlinked skills root and never touch symlinked skill entries, sweep staging and backup directories from an interrupted install, reinstall over an empty skill directory, refuse unknown manifest schemas, and install relative to the repository root. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Leftover staging and backup directories are removed only when they carry this command's ownership marker and are at least ten minutes old, so a user directory with a matching name or another run's in-flight install is never deleted. The staged tree is hash-verified before it replaces anything, and active manifest skills must carry a tree hash. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Init only installs and refreshes skills. Copies under a prior or deprecated name are reported and left in place, and leftover directories are not swept; those actions move to the sync work in EX-3055. Removes the ownership marker, overall deadline and signal plumbing, duplicate detection and staged re-hash that defended them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A skill directory is replaced only if, at swap time, it is empty or its tree hash matches a release we shipped. This stops a user directory that differs only by case on a case-insensitive filesystem, or one edited during the download, from being renamed aside and deleted. A refused swap is reported and the rest of the sync goes on. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Matches the fetch-stubbing pattern the other unit tests use instead of starting a local http server. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Removes unedited deprecated skills, migrates unedited copies under a prior name to the current name, and cleans up staging and backup directories left by an interrupted install. Edited copies are kept and reported; --reset-context replaces, migrates or deletes them. A directory that stops early still reports what it finished. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The occupant check now scans the directory itself, so a case twin without SKILL.md can no longer be migrated over on reset, and the renamed path never forces. Staging directories younger than ten minutes are left to the run that owns them, and the assembled tree must match the manifest tree_hash before it is swapped in. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Drops the duplicate classification (an unknown directory is left alone either way), the restore-a-backup branch (a missing skill is reinstalled and the backup then removed as an unedited release), and scopes the --reset-context hint to copies reset would act on.

Windows has no executable bit, so the manifest's executable list stands in for it when hashing; this was failing the Windows unit run. A skill whose download fails is recorded as failed and the rest of the sync continues. The replaceability check also runs after staging, right before the rename. Adds tests for an escaping manifest path and for a directory written mid-download. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
installed now means at least one skill is current, added or updated, not merely that the manifest was fetched. A failed backup cleanup after a successful swap no longer reports the install as failed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

[consider] Nothing tests this re-check. Every edited fixture is already marked modified at classification and gets kept before this runs, so stillUnedited could always return true and the suite would still pass.
It's the guard behind "re-hashed right before the rm" in the description, so a regression here would go unnoticed.

Added in 10c72c4: a stale skill's download writes an edit into netlify-legacy mid-run, and the deprecated copy is kept with the edit intact. The record was unedited at classification, so only the re-hash can produce that outcome.

[consider] This one survives because it's fresh, not because someone-else isn't a skill name. The known-name check on staging leftovers could be dropped and this test would still pass.

Fixed in 10c72c4. The someone-else staging dir is aged past the guard too, so the manifest-name check is what protects it.

[blocking] This only holds on a case-insensitive filesystem, so it fails both Linux unit jobs.
On Linux Netlify-Deploy isn't a twin, so reset installs netlify-deploy beside it and migrates the edited prior-name copy, which is what the description says reset does. The code looks right here; the assertion assumes macOS.

Fixed in 10c72c4. The test probes the tmp filesystem first; on Linux it asserts the migrate path you described, on macOS the occupant path.

A refused redirect or DNS failure now reads "fetch failed: <cause>" instead of the bare message. Locally edited copies count as installed since the skills are present on disk. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
--reset-context no longer forces over an exact-name directory that has no SKILL.md. A backup is removed only once its skill is present again and it has aged past the staging guard. A prior name that differs from the current name only by case is renamed in place instead of being reported as an occupant every run. Inode 0 is no longer treated as a match.

Do not print "Installed" when every download failed.
Line 718 sets the verb to Installed when changed === summary.added. Assume all downloads fail into an empty directory. Then changed is 0, summary.added is 0 and summary.failed is greater than 0. Line 715 does not return early because summary.failed is greater than 0. Line 718 then selects Installed.
The user sees "Installed Netlify skills in .agents/skills (2 failed)." No file was installed. setupAgentSkills returns installed: false for the same run, so the console text and the analytics payload disagree.
Use Installed only when at least one skill was added and nothing failed.
🐛 Proposed fix
- const verb = changed === summary.added ? 'Installed' : 'Synced'
+ const verb =
+ changed === 0 ? 'Could not install' : changed === summary.added && summary.failed === 0 ? 'Installed' : 'Synced'This change keeps the expected Synced … (1 added, 1 removed, 1 failed) output in tests/unit/utils/init/agent-skills.test.ts. If you want "Installed (1 added, 1 failed)" to stay, drop the summary.failed === 0 condition.

Install the release after a case-only rename when the copy is not current.
This branch moves the old-name folder to the current name. It does not compare the content with the release. After the move, installed.add(record.currentName) stops the before.missing loop from installing the skill. The run has two wrong outcomes:
- With
--reset-context, an edited case-twin keeps its edits. The run reportsrenamed, notreset. This contradicts the flag text "Replace locally edited Netlify skills with the latest release". - Without the flag, a stale case-twin keeps the old version. The run reports
renamed, notupdated.
A second run fixes both cases. Until then, the first run's report is wrong.
After the rename, install the release when the moved copy is not the current tree. Use force: reset for that install. Reset forces the replacement. An unedited stale copy passes the isReplaceableCopy check without force.

Summary
EX-3055. Stacked on #8555, so review that first.
#8555 makes
netlify initinstall the Netlify skills and refresh outdated copies, but it leaves copies under deprecated or prior names in place and gives the user no way to put an edited skill back to the shipped release. This PR adds the rest of the sync: re-runninginitdeletes an unedited deprecated skill, migrates an unedited copy under a prior name to its current name, and cleans up what an interrupted run left behind. Anything the user edited is kept and listed, and--reset-contextreplaces, migrates or deletes it.This is the first path that deletes directories in a user's repo. A directory is removed only when its tree hash matches a release we shipped, re-hashed right before the
rm, or under--reset-contextwhen it sits at a manifest name. Nothing else is touched: unknown directories, symlinks, and a directory that differs from a skill name only by case on macOS are all left alone, with or without the flag.Changes
