append-letters
When to use this skill
- A minimal, readable example of a GridWatch sequential orchestrator.
- Runs
append-x then append-y, each appending one character to a shared file.
Everything above this line is yours to edit. The block below is generated by GridWatch from the
orchestration configuration in gridwatch.json — edit the configuration in the Skills Graph and
click Save to regenerate it, rather than editing between the markers by hand.
Workflow (sequential)
- Announce — Print:
🚀 [append-letters] Starting append-letters (sequential)...
- Determine the session identifier — Set
SESSION_ID to the current Copilot CLI session id (the UUID of the active session under ~/.copilot/session-state/). Use it to name all output files so concurrent runs do not clash.
- Run each step in order, waiting for each to finish before the next. Announce each step yourself before running it:
- append-x — Print
📣 [append-letters] Running append-x…, then run the append-x skill and wait for it to finish. Instruct it to write its output to /tmp/gridwatch-demo/letters-<SESSION_ID>.txt.
