description	Use when analyzing Rspack/Webpack bundles from local `rsdoctor-data.json` and producing evidence-based optimization recommendations.

Rsdoctor Analysis Assistant Skill

Use the globally installed rsdoctor-agent CLI from @rsdoctor/agent-cli only after a real rsdoctor-data.json path exists. Keep analysis read-only unless I explicitly ask for install/config setup.

Response order (required): High-Priority Issues -> Proposed Solutions -> Optional Reference-Chain Follow-up Choices -> Next Deep-Dive Issue Categories (Not commands).

Core Workflow

1. Reuse current-session results and valid .rsdoctor-analysis-cache.json entries before doing new work.
2. Locate rsdoctor-data.json fast: user-provided path, then dist/rsdoctor-data.json, output/rsdoctor-data.json, static/rsdoctor-data.json, .rsdoctor/rsdoctor-data.json, then one bounded rg --files search excluding node_modules and .git. Treat manifest.json only as an index.
3. If data exists, skip all plugin version/config/build generation logic. Update cache when useful.
4. If data is missing, stop analysis: do not run rsdoctor-agent analysis commands, do not run the Analysis Gate, and either ask for the data path or run the Generation Gate below only when setup/generation is required.
5. After a real data file exists, run Analysis Gate at most once before the first rsdoctor-agent data-fetch command: verify global @rsdoctor/agent-cli with npm view @rsdoctor/agent-cli version and rsdoctor-agent --version; install latest only if missing/outdated, a version-related error occurs, or I ask to refresh.
6. Fetch only the Default Evidence Set first; run independent fetches in parallel when possible; synthesize findings in the required response order.

Performance rules: parallelize independent checks, cache only derived facts (dataFile, dataFileMtime, pluginName, pluginVersion, dependency/config/plugin modification times), and invalidate cache when paths disappear, modification times change, I ask to refresh, or cached values fail. Speculative plugin checks must not trigger generation; use them only after confirming the data file is missing.

Generation Gate

Identify pluginName (@rsdoctor/rspack-plugin or @rsdoctor/webpack-plugin) and determine pluginVersion from local files first: package.json, lockfile, then node_modules/<plugin>/package.json; use pnpm why / npm ls only as fallback.

Use this exact if/else decision tree; do not merge branches:

if pluginName is missing:
  install/register the matching Rsdoctor plugin, then configure output.mode='brief' and output.options.type=['json']; build with RSDOCTOR=true only
else if pluginVersion is unknown:
  resolve pluginVersion first; if still unknown, configure output.mode='brief' and output.options.type=['json']; build with RSDOCTOR=true only
else if pluginVersion >= 1.5.11:
  do not edit plugin config just for JSON; build with RSDOCTOR_OUTPUT=json and RSDOCTOR=true if needed
else: # pluginVersion < 1.5.11
  MUST configure output.mode='brief' and output.options.type=['json']; build with RSDOCTOR=true only

Preflight every build command: RSDOCTOR_OUTPUT=json is allowed only in the pluginVersion >= 1.5.11 branch. For missing, unknown, or < 1.5.11, it is forbidden. For < 1.5.11, generating rsdoctor-data.json requires the plugin config below:

output: {
  mode: 'brief',
  options: {
    type: ['json'],
  },
}

Evidence and Command Bounds

Default Evidence Set:

Summary key	Evidence source	Bounds
buildCost	build summary	filtered fields only
assetsTop	top assets by raw/gzip size	fixed Top-N
packagesTop	top packages by gzip size	fixed Top-N; avoid full packages list pages
duplicatePackages	E1001 duplicate package summary	first-pass summary only
crossChunkPackages	E1002 cross-chunk duplication summary	first-pass summary only
retainedModulesTop	tree-shaking retained-modules --limit 10	filtered fields only; no --compact

Scope rules:

• Use rsdoctor-agent for bundle data access only after rsdoctor-data.json exists; prefer parallel independent fetches; bound output with --filter, pagination, and --limit.
• Default analysis stays within the Default Evidence Set. For non-default analysis, choose minimal fields from references/rsdoctor-data-types.md and patterns from references/common-analysis-patterns.md.
• Treat chain tracing, broad commands, optimization edits, splitChunks experiments, and build re-runs as opt-in follow-ups that require user confirmation.
• For duplicate packages and tree-shaking issues, identify issues first; trace reference/import chains only after user confirmation.
• Prefer tree-shaking retained-modules --emitted-only --category side-effects --limit 10 with narrow --filter for side-effects investigations.
• For retained emitted modules, use tree-shaking retained-modules with --emitted-only, bounded --category, --sort gzipSize, --limit, and narrow --filter; do not pass --compact.
• Use tree-shaking summary only as fallback for missing fields or aggregate context. Treat tree-shaking bailout-reasons as high-volume; run it only when explicitly requested and pass target --modules (max 100).
• If any command exceeds 5k tokens, 500 KB raw output, or a few hundred transcript lines, stop broad fetching and switch to targeted compact queries.

Output and Recovery

Output format:

1. Issues found in the current build and recommended fixes:
   • Group each issue with its fix recommendation.
   • Include concrete evidence (size/time/count/path/rule code) and priority.
   • For duplicate packages and tree-shaking issues, include a short "continue tracing vs stop here" choice.
2. Whether deeper analysis is still needed:
   • List remaining issue categories only, not commands.

For Top-N insights, prefer a table: Name | Volume/Time | Count | Recommendation.

Recovery rules:

• rsdoctor-data.json missing: do not run rsdoctor-agent; ask for the data path or run Generation Gate, then use the matching install reference if setup is needed.
• Command not found: run Analysis Gate, then retry with rsdoctor-agent.
• query reports unknown tool: run list and use a catalog tool name, or switch to direct <group> <subcommand> mode.
• JSON read error: verify file path, JSON validity, and permissions.
• In Codex, do not run install, build, global CLI installation, version checks, or rsdoctor-agent... inside sandbox. Run Rsdoctor CLI setup and data-fetch commands outside sandbox so they can access project files and dependencies normally.
