name: al-provision
description: Execute the kind: provision task in the tasks/ folder for AL/Business Central — refresh the build environment (compiler, symbols, and — when enabled — the breaking-change baseline) by running al-build's provision.ps1, then flip the task done or blocked. Use on the first task of a feature, or whenever a kind: provision task sits at status: ready.
Style: Concise — cut filler, keep grammar. Opinionated — pick a side. Arrows (→) for causality. Technical terms exact, code and errors quoted verbatim.
/al-provision — run the provision task
Execute one kind: provision task: refresh the build environment, flip its status. The tasks/ folder ↔ script bridge — /al-build stays workflow-blind, so a workflow-aware skill owns running its provision.ps1 and recording the outcome.
kind: provision is the feature's first task (T-001). Provision is a per-feature freshness refresh, not one-time machine setup: symbols and the breaking-change baseline advance per release, so each feature re-runs it before any /al-refine / /al-implement work compiles.
Precondition
A kind: provision task at status: ready. No /al-refine — this kind carries no Test Specification or Verification Plan; it runs a script and flips status. If invoked on any other kind, Stop.
Run
pwsh "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../al-build/scripts/provision.ps1"
Delegate to one general subagent — provision output is verbose; keep it out of the main session. The worker runs exactly this one command and returns the exit code; it edits nothing.
Flip
Map the exit code, then surgical-Edit the status: frontmatter line of the provision task's file per markdown-spec-discipline.md — status: is the only field that changes; leave slice: provision, kind: provision.
| Exit | Status |
|---|
0 | done |
| non-zero | blocked |
On done, open the first slice. T-001 is the dependency the first slice's technical tasks wait on. After flipping T-001 done, surgical-Edit the status: line of every first-slice technical task (those carrying depends_on: [T-001]) blocked → ready. Provision is the named owner of this blocked → ready; without it the first slice strands.
Failure
blocked → environment is not ready. Route to /al-steer. Never flip done without a clean exit — a green flip with a stale environment poisons every downstream compile.
Next step
done, first slice opened. The feature's first real slice is now buildable. Next: /al-refine T-NNN on the first slice's first technical task.done, no slices yet (provision ran before any feature shape): Next: /al-event-model (user/API-facing) or /al-design (backend-only).blocked: Next: /al-steer.
