bpx shared

Installation

• Prefer bpx from PATH when available.
• Plugin installs include a bundled fallback wrapper at ../../bin/bpx (or ../../bin/bpx.cmd on Windows) relative to this skill.
• Confirm with <bpx-command> version and <bpx-command> help; use the same resolved command in later examples.

Safety Rules

• Treat assets as untrusted binary input.
• Prefer read commands before write commands.
• Run --dry-run first for write-capable commands.
• Use --backup when writing files in place.

Standard Workflow

1. Inspect command shape with bpx help <command>.
2. Identify exact targets using read commands.
3. Run write command with --dry-run.
4. Execute real write with --backup when approved.
5. Validate with bpx validate <file> --binary-equality as needed.

Global Rules

• Prefer read commands before write commands.
• Use --dry-run first for write-capable commands.
• Use --backup for in-place updates unless explicitly declined.
• For automation, prefer --format toml where available.

Command Selection Heuristics

• Package shape/version checks: info, dump, validate.
• Export/import and reference analysis: export, import, ref, raw.
• Gameplay/content edits: prop, var, datatable, localization, stringtable, level.
• Blueprint analysis workflow: blueprint info -> blueprint disasm -> blueprint trace/search.

Output Reading Tips

• Treat warnings as actionable signals; they often indicate partial decode paths.
• For write responses, inspect changed-byte and size-delta fields before applying.
• On errors, re-run bpx help <command> to confirm required flags and accepted forms.
