aide-repo-maintenance
How to add a new skill, update a shared rule, or change the 4-file spec structure in the Aide repo itself, and how install.sh/uninstall.sh must stay mirrored. Use when: adding or editing a skill or rule under core/, changing spec-structure.md, or touching install.sh/uninstall.sh. Do NOT use for: ordinary spec work (create/analyze/implement/archive) in any project Aide is installed into — this is about maintaining Aide's own source.

Topics in the source
- Adding new functionality to Aide
- New skill
- Updating rules
- Changing the spec structure
- install.sh and uninstall.sh
This only matters when actually adding a skill, changing a rule, or changing the spec structure — not for ordinary spec work in this repo. 1. Read docs/SKILLGUIDE.md for structure and best practices 2. Create core/skills/ /SKILL.md with frontmatter and core instructions 3. Put heavy documentation in core/skills/ /references/ 4. Run cd core/implementations/claude-code && ./install.sh; the manifest records it for uninstall 1. Edit in core/rules/ (shared source for all AI tools) 2. Run core/scripts/build-agents-md.sh (regenerates core/AGENTS.md AND core/skills/spec-structure/SKILL.md) 3. Run core/implementations/claude-code/install.sh (rules → /.claude/rules/), core/implementations/copilot/install.sh and core/implementations/codex/install.sh (new AGENTS.md → /.copilot/ and /.codex/) workflows, documentation, tools-and-scripts and markdown-linting are skills, not rules, in core/skills/, and spec-structure is a rule for Claude Code and a GENERATED skill for Codex/Copilot. The reason is a byte budget: Codex appends at most projectdocmaxbytes of AGENTS.md — 32768 by default — and drops the rest silently. testcorescripts.py::TestBuildAgentsMd::testoutputfitscodexreadwindow is what says so
