Goal

Produce the AI context (markdown skills) that lets an agent reliably:

  1. Scaffold a brand-new Hero service from the template.
  2. Check an existing service for compliance with the canonical pattern.
  3. Refactor a legacy service to match the canonical pattern.

These are documentation skills (md + toml sidecar per the new skills structure), not CLI tools. The actual scaffold/check tooling lives in hero_rpc and lab.

New skills to add (under skills/hero/service/)

hero_service_scaffold.md

When + how an agent should create a new Hero service. Steps:

  1. Confirm name, domain, schema with the user.
  2. Run hero_rpc scaffold <name> --schema <path> (link the hero_rpc issue).
  3. Open the preserved trait stub and fill in business logic.
  4. Run cargo build to trigger codegen, then lab infocheck until clean.
  5. lab service <name> --start and verify smoke tests pass.
    Reference: hero_rpc's upgraded example/recipe_server as the canonical end-to-end demo.

hero_service_refactor.md

How to migrate a legacy service (e.g. hero_inspector, the older hero_proc patterns, hand-rolled _ui admins) to the canonical template:

  1. Run lab infocheck — collect findings.
  2. For each finding, apply the canonical fix (cross-link to hero_service_check_fix).
  3. Replace hand-rolled SDKs with the generated one.
  4. Replace hand-rolled admin templates with framework components (cross-link to hero_website_framework).
  5. Drop Makefile / scripts/*.sh / service_<name>.nu per ADR-0001.
  6. Verify with lab infocheck clean exit + lab service smoke tests.

hero_service_check.md (or extend existing hero_service_check_fix)

Decide whether to extend the existing skill or split out a leaner check-only skill that an agent can run as a fast audit (without the fix recipes). Cross-link as appropriate.

Updates to existing skills

  • hero_service.md, hero_service_check_fix.md, hero_service_toml_info.md: audit for stale references.
    • Do NOT invert Askama→Tera references. Ecosystem default is compile-time Askama; Tera is reserved for runtime-templated content. Existing Askama mentions in the skills are correct — verify they describe compile-time use, not a default-Tera fallback. The framework's current Tera usage is the exception, not the rule.
    • Any mention of hero_admin_lib → hero_website_lib (after the framework alias issue lands).
    • Any mention of HeroLifecycle / HeroRpcServer / HeroUiServer from hero_service (the hero_rpc crate) → align with whichever wins in the codegen-alignment issue (recommendation: drop in favour of herolib_core::base + lab).
    • Reference hero_compute and latest-pulled hero_proc as the reference services; remove hero_inspector as a reference (it's out of date).
  • Naming: confirm _admin / _server / _sdk / _web / _app table is current; remove any _ui references.

Format

Per Kristof's recent skill reorganization:

  • One .md per skill, one .toml sidecar.
  • No YAML front matter.
  • Skills can include other skills (use this to avoid duplicating the wiring contract — point the scaffold skill at hero_service_toml_info and herolib_base instead of repeating their content).

Acceptance

  • An agent with no prior context can read hero_service_scaffold.md and produce a working service end-to-end.
  • An agent given a legacy repo can read hero_service_refactor.md and produce a lab infocheck-clean repo.
  • No skill in skills/hero/service/ mentions hero_admin_lib or hero_inspector as a positive example. (Askama mentions are fine and expected — it's the ecosystem default; just verify they describe compile-time use.)

State refresh

Pulled latest. Skills directory has been reorganized into skills/hero/{config,proc,service,ui,networkprotocol}/ subdirs. The three service skills relevant to this issue stay at skills/hero/service/ — files unchanged in path:

  • hero_service.md + .toml
  • hero_service_toml_info.md + .toml
  • hero_service_check_fix.md + .toml

Action items in this issue are still valid. New context:

  • New scaffold/check/refactor skills land alongside the existing three at skills/hero/service/.
  • Cleanup pass on existing skills can start now (tier-1 work per META).
  • New skills wait on hero_rpc#54 (scaffolder shape) + #55 (codegen alignment) so they document the actual tool surface.

Tier-1 cleanup pass — done

Audited the three existing service skills (hero_service.md, hero_service_toml_info.md, hero_service_check_fix.md) for stale references per the action list.

Findings

Stale ref Found? Action
hero_admin_lib no none (and per #262, the alias-drop premise was wrong anyway — the two framework crates stay separate)
hero_inspector (positive example) no none
HeroLifecycle / HeroRpcServer / HeroUiServer from old hero_service crate no none — skills already point at herolib_core::base + lab
Tera (as default) no none — only Askama appears, which is the locked default; added a clarifying note that it's compile-time
_ui naming references yes fixed (see below)
_client (old SDK name) not previously called out added to bad-suffix list

Edits in 2a05555

  • hero_service_toml_info.md — dropped the legacy ui.sock / *_ui.sock rows from the router-card table; added a one-line note that admin.sock is canonical and _ui is out.
  • hero_service_check_fix.md — naming table now includes _sdk (Rust SDK lib crate, required when a server exists) and _examples (optional); added an Askama-as-compile-time-default note pointing at hero_admin_lib (Askama) vs hero_website_lib (Tera); added _client to the "fix needed if" bad-suffix list and broadened the grep accordingly.
  • hero_service.md — no changes needed; already aligned (uses admin / web / cli / cmdline enum values, no _ui references).

Held back (tier 3 — waits on hero_rpc#54 + #55)

Per the May-18 state-refresh comment, the new scaffold / check / refactor skills wait on the scaffolder shape (hero_rpc#54) and codegen alignment (hero_rpc#55) so they describe the actual tool surface. Will pick those up once those land.

## Tier-1 cleanup pass — done Audited the three existing service skills (`hero_service.md`, `hero_service_toml_info.md`, `hero_service_check_fix.md`) for stale references per the action list. ### Findings | Stale ref | Found? | Action | |---|---|---| | `hero_admin_lib` | no | none (and per #262, the alias-drop premise was wrong anyway — the two framework crates stay separate) | | `hero_inspector` (positive example) | no | none | | `HeroLifecycle` / `HeroRpcServer` / `HeroUiServer` from old `hero_service` crate | no | none — skills already point at `herolib_core::base` + `lab` | | `Tera` (as default) | no | none — only `Askama` appears, which is the locked default; added a clarifying note that it's compile-time | | `_ui` naming references | yes | fixed (see below) | | `_client` (old SDK name) | not previously called out | added to bad-suffix list | ### Edits in `2a05555` - `hero_service_toml_info.md` — dropped the legacy `ui.sock` / `*_ui.sock` rows from the router-card table; added a one-line note that `admin.sock` is canonical and `_ui` is out. - `hero_service_check_fix.md` — naming table now includes `_sdk` (Rust SDK lib crate, required when a server exists) and `_examples` (optional); added an Askama-as-compile-time-default note pointing at `hero_admin_lib` (Askama) vs `hero_website_lib` (Tera); added `_client` to the "fix needed if" bad-suffix list and broadened the grep accordingly. - `hero_service.md` — no changes needed; already aligned (uses `admin` / `web` / `cli` / `cmdline` enum values, no `_ui` references). ### Held back (tier 3 — waits on hero_rpc#54 + #55) Per the May-18 state-refresh comment, the **new** scaffold / check / refactor skills wait on the scaffolder shape (hero_rpc#54) and codegen alignment (hero_rpc#55) so they describe the actual tool surface.

Tier-3 — new scaffold / check / refactor skills landed

Pushed three new skills on development_timur (d97366a). Diff vs development: https://forge.ourworld.tf/lhumina_code/hero_skills/compare/development...development_timur

What's new under skills/hero/service/

File Purpose
hero_service_scaffold.md + .toml End-to-end flow for creating a new Hero service via the WorkspaceScaffolder (library API + hero_rpc_generator CLI). Documents the generated 5-crate layout, the known gaps the scaffolder doesn't yet emit (Makefile/buildenv.sh removal, _examples, PURPOSE.md, README.md, .forgejo/workflows/build-linux.yaml, hero_rpc2 trait SDK pending), and the post-scaffold validation loop.
hero_service_check.md + .toml Fast read-only audit — single command (lab infocheck); per-dimension spot-checks (naming, service.toml, base wiring, socket paths, lab-driven lifecycle, OpenRPC); live smoke-test recipe; finding-to-fix pointer table referencing hero_service_check_fix. Split from _check_fix per the issue body's "leaner check-only skill" option.
hero_service_refactor.md + .toml Migrating legacy services. Step-by-step plan (baseline → rename _ui/_client → fix service.toml → rewrite main.rs against herolib_core::base → swap admin to hero_admin_lib → stage SDK toward hero_rpc2 trait emitter → drop Makefile/scripts/.nu → regenerate PURPOSE.md/README.md → add _examples → add release CI). Drives the lab infocheck fix-loop.

Source-of-truth check

  • Pulled hero_rpc development and issue-55-codegen-alignment. §1–§6 of #55 are landed on the branch (from_service_toml, _admin via hero_admin_lib, §5 main.rs boilerplate, _admin/_sdk naming, per-binary service.toml, hero_lifecycle rename, hero_rpc2 vendor + context types + HTTP wiring + scaffolded trait/Python SDK emitters). Skills describe what the scaffolder produces today on that branch, with explicit "known gaps" pointers for the deltas #54 still tracks.
  • All cross-links are by skill name ([name](name)) — hero_service_toml_info, herolib_base, hero_sockets, hero_service_check_fix, forge-release-workflow, etc. — so agents follow the wiring rules from those skills without duplication.
  • hero_inspector is referenced only as a negative example ("do not model on this — out of date"), per the acceptance criteria. No mention of hero_admin_lib as something to drop (kept as the canonical admin foundation per parent META).
  • All three files follow the established hero/service/ format: pure markdown body + .toml sidecar (description, technology, links, tags, purposes), no YAML frontmatter.

Acceptance from the issue body

  • An agent with no prior context can read hero_service_scaffold.md and produce a working service end-to-end. (Inputs table → scaffold flow → known gaps to patch by hand → lab infocheck + lab service --install/--start validation → acceptance checklist.)
  • An agent given a legacy repo can read hero_service_refactor.md and produce a lab infocheck-clean repo. (Ten-step migration plan + explicit acceptance criteria + reference to hero_service_check_fix for per-finding recipes.)
  • No skill in skills/hero/service/ mentions hero_admin_lib or hero_inspector as a positive example. (hero_admin_lib appears only where the META locks it in as the admin foundation; hero_inspector appears only with "do NOT mimic.")

Closing this issue

All tier-3 deliverables in the issue body are landed. The downstream pieces flagged as "known gaps" in hero_service_scaffold.md (Makefile/buildenv.sh deletion in scaffolder, _examples crate emission, PURPOSE.md / README.md / .forgejo/workflows/build-linux.yaml generation, hero_rpc2 trait translator) stay with hero_rpc#54 + #55 §2 part 4 and don't belong here. Once both land, the "known gaps" section of hero_service_scaffold.md can shrink in a follow-up cleanup pass on this repo.

Marking this complete on my side — ready for review.
