// The ONLY sanctioned path to the Kronk MCP service (`web_search`, `fuzzy_edit`) in the rote-routed config. Every command is a `rote ...` invocation in Bash. Load whenever you need web research, or when a host edit fails on exact-string matching and you need the rote-routed `fuzzy_edit` fallback.
Apply modern Go syntax guidelines based on project's Go version. Use when user ask for modern Go code guidelines.
Post-edit toolchain to run after writing or modifying any `.go` file. Load whenever a task changes Go source.
Using the Kronk MCP service in the default agent configuration, where Kronk is wired directly into the host (OpenCode, Kilo, Pi) as an MCP server. Exposes `fuzzy_edit` (fallback for the host's exact-match edit when whitespace / line-endings cause it to miss) and `web_search` (Brave-powered). Load whenever you need web research, or when a host edit fails on exact matching.

Kronk MCP is reachable only through rote. Direct HTTP/MCP/curl is
removed by design.
| Operation | Use |
|---|---|
| Web research | web_search via this skill (no host alternative) |
| Modify an existing file | Host's native edit/replace first; only on exact-match failure call fuzzy_edit via this skill |
Create / read / shell / go doc / gopls | Host's native tools — not this skill |
fuzzy_edit is a fallback, not a primary. web_search is primary.
http://localhost:9000/mcp directly. The host MCP
wiring is intentionally removed.fuzzy_edit after
exact-match fails.rote init. The playground workspace is created
by make agents-rote-playground. If missing, ask the user to run
make agents-rote-seed.playground workspace when invoking
rote (use the ( cd ... && rote ... ) pattern below).kronk-mcp command fails, stop and report to the user.
Do not improvise an alternative transport.( cd ~/.rote/rote/workspaces/playground && \
rote kronk_probe "<intent, e.g. 'edit a file' or 'search the web'>" )
Tool names in the catalog are bare: web_search, fuzzy_edit
(not kronk_*). The kronk_ prefix only applies to rote shorthand
verbs (kronk_probe, kronk_call).
rm -f of the session cache is mandatory before every kronk_call —
without it you get 404 session not found after the kronk-server
recycles.
( rm -f ~/.rote/adapters/kronk/runtime/sessions/workspace_playground.json && \
cd ~/.rote/rote/workspaces/playground && \
rote kronk_call web_search '{"query":"...", "count":5}' -s )
( rm -f ~/.rote/adapters/kronk/runtime/sessions/workspace_playground.json && \
cd ~/.rote/rote/workspaces/playground && \
rote kronk_call fuzzy_edit '{
"file_path":"/abs/path/to/file.go",
"old_string":"...",
"new_string":"..."
}' -s )
Response is cached as @N.json.
MCP responses wrap output as
{ content: [{ type: "text", text: "<string>" }], is_error?: bool }.
For Kronk's tools the inner text is plain text — do not
fromjson it. is_error is omitted on success.
( cd ~/.rote/rote/workspaces/playground && rote @1 '(.is_error // false)' )
( cd ~/.rote/rote/workspaces/playground && rote @1 '.content[0].text' )
If rote adapter list doesn't include the service you need, stop
and tell the user. Do not silently fall back to direct HTTP, MCP,
or hand-rolled scripts.
