Read root CONTEXT.md, tools/CONTEXT.md, and the closest existing tool.
Create one self-contained tools/<kind>/ directory.
tools/<kind>/
CONTEXT.md
tool.conf
guide.md
agent/SKILL.md
versions/<major.minor>/
CONTEXT.md
run.sh
smoke.conf
container/Containerfile # only for local builds
tool.conf must retain shim_name=<kind> for manifest compatibility and add:
tool_default_version=<major.minor>
tool_selector_env=<SHIMMY_SELECTOR_ENV or empty>
run.sh receives the original CLI argument vector unchanged, uses
core/runtime/podman.sh, mounts $PWD:/work, and supports
--preview-shim. Use core/runtime/image.sh for local build contexts after
setting SHIMMY_RUNTIME_DIR to core/runtime.
The catalog discovers tool metadata automatically. Do not add central catalog,
status, or update case statements. Add focused metadata and preview validation
to tests/ and run ./shimmy test.
Use and maintain the context-first Skopeo Shimmy tool.
Create or extend a Shimmy tool kind and its concrete CLI versions. Use when adding a wrapped CLI, selecting its image strategy, adding a version track, or wiring tool-local metadata, runtime, tests, guide, and agent guidance.
Install, update, validate, activate, or remove Shimmy profiles. Use for Shimmy lifecycle work outside the source checkout, profile selection, disposable-install validation, or manifest-based state inspection.
Use and maintain the context-first OpenShift CLI Shimmy tool.
