One of 6 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Please operate Praxist for me right now.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Exits without initiating any default lifecycle operations or launcher commands | Passed | Passed |
| Asks the user to explicitly specify one of the supported operations (`start`, `stop`, `resume`, `status`, `monitor`, or `detect-active-runs`) | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use this skill to operate an existing Praxist task project. It controls runs; it does not create task projects, install dependencies, edit Praxist core, or change provider credentials.
If the user invokes this skill without naming an operation, exit without taking
an action. Ask the user to specify one of: start, stop, resume, status,
monitor, or detect-active-runs. Do not infer a default lifecycle action from
an empty prompt.
Verify the live CLI before acting:
praxist --help
praxist start --help
praxist stop --help
praxist status --help
praxist --monitor --help
praxist resume --help
praxist resolve --help
If praxist is not on PATH but the current directory is a Praxist source
checkout, use uv run praxist .... If neither works, refuse the lifecycle action and
tell the user to install or activate Praxist first.
Prefer JSON for machine decisions:
praxist status --json
praxist start --task-path /path/to/task --daemonize --json
praxist stop <run_id> --grace 300 --json
praxist resume <run_id-or-run-dir> --daemonize --json
