Inspecto Onboarding

When the user asks CodeBuddy to set up Inspecto:

1. Prefer the single-entry flow: onboard --json.
2. If the result returns status: "needs_target_selection", explain that this step chooses which local development build target should receive the Inspecto plugin and settings. Choose one returned target candidate and rerun with --target <candidateId>, preferring the explicit candidateId field. The CLI also accepts a returned configPath as a compatibility fallback. Do not collapse the selection back to a package path when multiple build configs exist in the same package.
3. If the result returns status: "needs_confirmation", summarize the proposed changes and wait for approval before rerunning with --yes.
4. If the result returns status: "partial_success" and diagnostics.nextSteps includes IDE extension installation, treat that as a blocking onboarding follow-up. Do not move on to dev-server validation until the extension is installed automatically or the user confirms they completed the manual install.
5. If the result includes handoff.patches, treat them as the primary source of truth for the remaining work. Apply those patches directly before exploring framework docs or unrelated project files.
6. Only do broader documentation or repo exploration when a returned patch is clearly insufficient or conflicts with the local project structure.
7. Use node packages/cli/bin/inspecto.js when working inside the Inspecto repository.
8. Otherwise prefer an already available inspecto executable before falling back to npx @inspecto-dev/cli@latest.
9. Use doctor --json only for explicit recovery diagnostics.

Rules:

• Treat IDE extension installation as required before runtime verification.
• Let the Inspecto CLI perform dependency installation and config generation.
• Use the CLI's verification field as the source of truth for the dev-server step.
• Default to .inspecto/settings.local.json and .inspecto/prompts.local.json.
• Do not rewrite Inspecto config files manually unless the user asks for a manual fallback.
• Prefer handoff.patches, handoff.pendingSteps, and handoff.assistantPrompt over ad-hoc investigation.

Local Debugging

When debugging the skill against a local Inspecto checkout from a project outside the workspace, prefer environment-variable overrides instead of changing the target project:

• INSPECTO_CLI_BIN=/absolute/path/to/inspecto/packages/cli/dist/bin.js
• INSPECTO_DEV_REPO=/absolute/path/to/inspecto
