This skill ensures that all documentation files are correctly registered for distribution in the build system.
*.rst file in doc/source/, add it to EXTRA_DIST in doc/Makefile.am.doc/Makefile.am.doc/Makefile.am.The rsyslog distribution tarball is created using make dist. For documentation to be included, every source file must be listed in the EXTRA_DIST variable within doc/Makefile.am.
Whenever you perform a filesystem operation on documentation:
doc/) into the EXTRA_DIST list. Try to maintain the existing logical grouping (e.g., source/configuration/modules/).doc/Makefile.am and replace it with the new one.make dist.For changes involving file additions, moves, or deletions, you MUST run the extended distribution check. This ensures that the documentation is correctly packaged in the source tarball and can be built from it.

Mirror rsyslog run_checks.yml container validation locally, including the change-gated Ubuntu 26.04 run-ci.sh check run, the clang static analyzer job, late prompt-based audit passes, Cubic review where applicable, service-skip validation, clean-tree rules, and container path caveats.
Standardizes testing and validation for rsyslog using the diag.sh framework.
Guidelines for maintaining structured, RAG-optimized documentation and module metadata.
Orchestrate long-running rsyslog issue-fix sessions with a rolling active set of work units, local issue cache use, separate worktrees, full validation gates, PR babysitting, merged-PR cleanup, and automatic refill until the selected issue class is exhausted.
Monitor rsyslog pull requests after push or rerun, including GitHub Actions checks, unresolved review threads, bot comments, reruns for known flakes, and concise status reporting.
