/inki:pitfalls-add: add an entry to the known-pitfalls catalog
The pitfalls-checker agent is read-only: it consults the catalog but never edits it. This skill is the writing counterpart: it adds a new, verified entry to the known-pitfalls catalog so the mistake is caught automatically in every future review.
The catalog exists in two places. The canonical copy is versioned in the repo at claude-plugins/inki/references/prompts/integrity-known-pitfalls.md. The plugin cache copy (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/prompts/integrity-known-pitfalls.md) is what the running plugin reads, and it is overwritten on every plugin update. Always write the canonical copy first, then mirror to the cache (Step 5): an entry written only to the cache is silently lost on the next update.
Step 0: Parse arguments
If $ARGUMENTS contains --help or -h, print usage and stop, per ../../references/help.md. Do not modify the catalog.
Otherwise, from $ARGUMENTS, detect --non-interactive (canonical), aliases --auto-approve, --auto, --yes, -y, --no-questions-asked (all equivalent) → AUTO=true. What remains describes the pitfall: either free text, or a finding copied from a pitfalls-check / code-verify report.
Logging: unless --no-log is passed, write this skill's report to the run log per ../../references/logging.md (--log-dir <path> and --short-log are also accepted). This skill normally runs standalone (it creates its own run directory); if ever invoked as part of an orchestrator, write into that run's existing directory instead of creating a new one.
Step 1: Derive the three required fields
Every catalog entry needs:
Hallucinated pattern: what the wrong content says (the version to catch).
Correct pattern: what the code actually does.
Context: why the mistake happens and when to watch for it.
Extract these from the input. If any is missing or unclear, ask the user (do not invent the correct pattern).
Step 2: Verify the correct pattern against the source
Do NOT add an unverified pattern: a wrong catalog entry would generate false positives forever. Confirm the "correct pattern" against the actual strapi/strapi source (a local clone if available, otherwise a raw GitHub fetch), the same way code-verify does. If it cannot be verified, say so and stop; offer to add it as a clearly-marked unverified entry only if the user insists.
Step 3: Choose the category
Read the canonical catalog and pick the matching category table (e.g. "Strapi v5 identifiers", "Lifecycle and boot sequence"). If none fits, create a new category section following the existing format.
Step 4: Show the proposed entry and confirm
Display the exact row to be added, under which category:
If AUTO=false (default), ask for confirmation before writing. If AUTO=true, skip the prompt (the source verification in Step 2 is the safety gate).
Step 5: Add the entry, canonical first
Write in this order. Never stop after the cache: that is how entries get lost.
Canonical copy (required). Add the row to the chosen table in claude-plugins/inki/references/prompts/integrity-known-pitfalls.md, preserving the file's existing Markdown formatting. Do not reorder or rewrite existing entries.
This works from anywhere inside the repo, including subdirectories such as docusaurus/. If it prints NOT_FOUND (the session is running outside strapi/documentation, or in another repo), do not fall back to writing only the cache: say the canonical copy is unreachable, print the row for the user to add themselves, and stop.
Cache copy (mirror). Copy the same row into ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/prompts/integrity-known-pitfalls.md so the entry takes effect immediately in the running session, without waiting for a plugin update.
Verify they match. The two files must be identical afterwards:
If the diff shows entries present in the cache but missing from the canonical copy, those are earlier cache-only additions that were never persisted. Surface them to the user and offer to sync them into the canonical copy in the same pass, re-verifying each against the source per Step 2 before doing so.
Step 6: Report
Confirm what was added, to which category, and in both locations. State explicitly that the canonical copy is versioned and needs committing, and that the cache copy is a working mirror that will be overwritten on the next plugin update.
The canonical copy is a tracked file in strapi/documentation, so remind the user to commit it (/inki:commit). Do not commit it as part of an unrelated documentation change unless the user asks.
Rules
Never add an unverified "correct pattern". Verification against the source is mandatory (Step 2).
Append only; never edit or remove existing catalog entries.
Always write the canonical copy in the repo before the plugin cache copy, and never write the cache alone. The cache is overwritten on plugin updates, so a cache-only entry is silently lost.
This is the only inki skill allowed to write the pitfalls catalog. The pitfalls-checker agent stays strictly read-only.
