ManulAI

Guidelines for modifying the VS Code Chat participant (@manulai) in src/copilotChatParticipant.ts. Covers streaming, slash commands, auto-approve state, agent mode awareness, history handling, and keeping it independent from legacy code.

Guidelines for modifying the workspace agent instructions reader in src/agentInstructionsReader.ts. Covers file discovery, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md parsing, and injection into the Copilot Chat system prompt.

Guidelines for versioning, packaging, and releasing the ManulAI VS Code extension. Covers version bumps, VSIX builds, documentation sync, and release checks.

Guidelines for modifying Ollama streaming and reasoning extraction in src/ollamaStreamParser.ts. Covers NDJSON parsing, <think> tag extraction, and integration with the Copilot Chat participant.

Guidelines for modifying the ManulAI Settings webview panel in src/settingsPanel.ts. Covers Activity Bar registration, model fetching from Ollama, webview HTML, message passing, and VS Code settings updates.

Guidelines for modifying the workspace skills reader in src/skillsReader.ts. Covers skill discovery, frontmatter parsing, and injection into the Copilot Chat system prompt.

Atomically bump the ManulAI extension version across all 6 required locations (package.json, package-lock.json ×2 occurrences, README.md What's New, README-dev.md Release Notes, CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md) and verify the build still compiles. Enforces the CLAUDE.md rule that packaging version changes update every one of these files in the same change.

Run scripts/debug-agent.mjs against the full validated Ollama baseline (phi4-mini:3.8b, llama3.1:8b, gemma4:latest, gemma4:31b, qwen3-coder:30b) for a single user prompt. Collects pass/fail per model and reports JSONL log paths. Use this for regression testing after any change to the agent loop, recovery/nudge logic, mandate, or tool handlers.

Pre-commit sanity check for ManulAI docs. Verifies that CLAUDE.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md are byte-identical, that the version string matches across all 6 version-carrying files (package.json, package-lock.json, README.md What's New, README-dev.md Release Notes, CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md), and that the build still compiles. Report-only — never edits files.
