Tiny Broccoli: Implement → Check → Commit → Dedup
Use this when the user request is already clear and you can safely implement directly (no plan docs), but you still want:
- repo checks to be green, and
- a dedupe pass over the resulting diff.
Not for
- Big/ambiguous work that needs research, design decisions, or a multi-phase plan.
- “Refactor the whole repo” style requests.
Preconditions (hard stop if missing)
- Confirm you are in the intended repo:
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
- Start from a clean working tree:
git status --porcelain is empty
- Ensure git can create commits (
user.name / user.email configured)
- Ensure required CLIs exist (dedup requires distinct vendors):
codex, claude
Required subskills
Workflow
0) Record BASE_SHA (required)
Capture the base ref before any changes (used later for dedup):
BASE_SHA="$(git rev-parse HEAD)"
1) Choose the repo check command(s) once (required)
Do a one-time tooling detection + configuration so the per-step “build/lint” commands match the target repo.
Detect languages and entrypoints
- Node/TS: look for
package.json in repo root and common subprojects (for example functions/package.json).
- Python: look for
pyproject.toml, uv.lock, poetry.lock, requirements.txt.
Pick build/lint/typecheck commands (prefer repo-native scripts)
- Prefer existing package scripts when present (e.g.
npm run build, npm run lint, npm test).
- Prefer the repo’s configured Python toolchain:
- If
uv is clearly in use: use uv-based commands.
- If Poetry is clearly in use: use
poetry run ....
- If neither: use the repo’s documented commands (README/CONTRIBUTING) if available.
- If multiple options exist or it’s unclear, ask the user once for the canonical build/lint/typecheck commands, then reuse them for every step.
Write down a “Tooling config” block and reuse it for every step
- Example format (adapt to the repo):
- Root (Node): build=
..., lint=...
- functions/ (Node): build=
..., lint=...
- Root (Python): build=
..., typecheck=..., lint/format=...
- From now on, only run the commands from this block after each step (instead of hard-coded defaults).
If the repo has no build/lint tooling
- Explicitly record “No build/lint configured” and skip build/lint steps (do not invent tooling). Call this out in the final summary.
2) Implement the requested change (required)
- Make the smallest correct change that satisfies the request.
- Prefer reusing existing patterns/utilities over creating new ones.
- Keep the change set small and reviewable.
3) Run repo checks and fix only what you broke (required)
- Run the commands from your Tooling config.
- If checks fail due to changes you introduced, fix and re-run until green.
- If checks fail for clearly pre-existing/unrelated reasons, stop and report:
- the exact command(s) you ran, and
- the first actionable error output.
4) Commit once checks are green (required)
git add -A
- Make a single atomic commit for the user-requested change:
git commit -m "<imperative summary>" (example: Fix flaky upload retry).
- Do not create empty/no-op commits (
--allow-empty is prohibited).
5) Run dedup against BASE_SHA (required)
Ensure the working tree is clean, then run the dedupe loop:
if [ -n "$(git status --porcelain)" ]; then
echo "Working tree is not clean; commit or stash before running dedup." >&2
exit 1
fi
resolve_skill_dir() {
local name="$1"
local repo_root=""
repo_root="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)"
local candidates=(
"$repo_root/.agents/skills/$name"
"$repo_root/.claude/skills/$name"
"$HOME/.agents/skills/$name"
"$HOME/.codex/skills/$name"
"$HOME/.claude/skills/$name"
)
for d in "${candidates[@]}"; do
if [[ -d "$d" ]]; then
echo "$d"
return 0
fi
done
echo "Error: skill '$name' not found in repo-scoped or user-scoped skill dirs." >&2
return 1
}
DEDUP_SKILL_DIR="$(resolve_skill_dir dedup)"
python3 "$DEDUP_SKILL_DIR/scripts/run_dedup_loop.py" "${BASE_SHA}"
If dedup creates additional commits, re-run the Tooling config checks once at the end and fix only issues introduced by dedupe changes.
Do not interrupt/restart the dedup loop if it looks quiet; the loop script owns timeouts and retries.
Guardrails
- Keep changes tightly scoped to the user request + required dedupe.
- Avoid drive-by refactors, renames, formatting-only churn, or dependency upgrades unless required.
- End state must be: checks green (or explicitly “no checks configured”), clean working tree, and at least one meaningful commit.
