Reference for keyboard shortcut implementation, keybinding registration, shortcut parity with vim and other TUI tools, and the complete shortcut assignment table across all sidecar plugins. Use when adding or modifying keyboard shortcuts, checking shortcut assignments, resolving key conflicts, or assessing alignment with vim conventions.
Create conversation adapters for importing AI chat history from different tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Warp, Codex, etc.). Covers the adapter.Adapter interface, caching strategies, incremental parsing, watch/FD management, and performance standards. Use when creating a new adapter, modifying adapter behavior, or debugging adapter performance issues. See references/ for Cursor DB and Warp SQLite schema details.
Writing and maintaining the Sidecar Docusaurus documentation site, including page structure, doc authoring, blog posts, styling, images, and deployment workflow. Use when writing documentation, updating the docs site, adding pages or blog posts, or working with Docusaurus configuration.
Create declarative modals using the modal library API. Covers modal types (confirm, input, select, form), sections (Text, Buttons, Input, Textarea, Checkbox, List, When, Custom), rendering with OverlayModal, and keyboard/mouse handling. Use when adding modals or dialogs to the application.
Create new sidecar plugins implementing the plugin.Plugin interface, rendering views with Bubble Tea, handling keyboard input via keymap contexts, and integrating with the app shell (footer hints, event bus, adapters). Use when creating a new plugin, modifying plugin architecture, or debugging plugin rendering/lifecycle issues. See references/ for sidebar list and fixed footer layout details.
Create prompts for sidecar workspaces. Covers prompt structure (name, ticketMode, body), template variables (ticket with fallbacks), config file locations (global vs project), and scope overrides. Use when creating or modifying prompts in sidecar config files.

git status shows no changes)go test ./...)gh auth status)replace directives in go.mod.goreleaser.yml in repo root)HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN secret exists in GitHub repo settingsBeware of go.work: A parent go.work file can silently use local dependencies instead of published versions. Always use GOWORK=off when updating dependencies and testing builds.
Follow semantic versioning:
git tag -l | sort -V | tail -1
Sidecar embeds td as a Go module. Always update to latest before releasing:
GOWORK=off go get github.com/marcus/td@latest
GOWORK=off go mod tidy
Ensure no replace directives (they break go install):
grep replace go.mod && echo "ERROR: Remove replace directives before releasing!" && exit 1
GOWORK=off go build ./...
If this fails with "undefined" errors, the required dependency version hasn't been published yet.

git add CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "docs: Update changelog for vX.Y.Z"
git tag vX.Y.Z -m "Brief description of release"
git push origin main && git push origin vX.Y.Z
Pushing the tag triggers .github/workflows/release.yml, which has two jobs:
goreleaser — creates the GitHub Release, builds/attaches binaries for
darwin/linux (amd64/arm64), and generates checksums.txt. The GitHub release
notes are auto-generated by GoReleaser from commit subjects (excluding
docs:/test:/ci:/chore:) — these are separate from the hand-written
CHANGELOG.md, which is bundled into the archives.update-homebrew-tap — runs after goreleaser, computes the source
tarball's sha256, and rewrites the tag URL + sha256 in
Formula/sidecar.rb in marcus/homebrew-tap, then commits and pushes.GoReleaser-the-tool does not publish the formula (there is no
brews:block, because the formula builds from source to dodge macOS Gatekeeper warnings). The bump is done by theupdate-homebrew-tapjob, not by GoReleaser. Earlier versions of this skill said the tap had to be bumped by hand — that is no longer true forsidecar.rb.
For a normal sidecar-only release you do nothing here — the
update-homebrew-tap job bumps Formula/sidecar.rb for you. The job is a no-op
if the formula is already current (it checks git diff --cached --quiet).
You only touch the tap by hand in two cases:
update-homebrew-tap job from the Actions UI, or bump it manually:
curl -sL "https://github.com/marcus/sidecar/archive/refs/tags/vX.Y.Z.tar.gz" | shasum -a 256
cd /opt/homebrew/Library/Taps/marcus/homebrew-tap # or clone marcus/homebrew-tap
# Edit Formula/sidecar.rb — update the URL tag and sha256
git add Formula/sidecar.rb && git commit -m "sidecar: bump to vX.Y.Z" && git push
sidecar.rb. If
this release also bumps the td dependency (step 2) or nightshift, update
Formula/td.rb / Formula/nightshift.rb by hand the same way.# Check workflow succeeded

go build -ldflags "-X main.Version=v0.0.1" -o /tmp/sidecar-test ./cmd/sidecar
/tmp/sidecar-test
# Should show toast: "Update vX.Y.Z available!"
Version is embedded at build time via ldflags:
go build -ldflags "-X main.Version=v0.2.0" ./cmd/sidecar
go install -ldflags "-X main.Version=v0.2.0" ./cmd/sidecar
Without ldflags, version falls back to:
go install)devel+abc123)develOn startup, sidecar checks https://api.github.com/repos/marcus/sidecar/releases/latest, compares tag_name against current version, and shows a toast if newer. Results cached for 3 hours. Pre-release suffixes (-rc1, -beta) are stripped for comparison. Dev versions skip the check.
