Script Git Manager Skill

This skill enforces a strict, deterministic workflow for creating and modifying scripts, using Git as the sole state memory. It is designed to prevent accidental file creation, uncontrolled refactors, and loss of history.

Scope

• Base directory: ~/.nanobot/workspace/test
• Python virtual environment: ~/.nanobot/workspace/venv
• One script = one directory = one git repository
• Git is mandatory and authoritative

Python Environment

All Python-related operations (pip install, script execution) must use the virtual environment:

# Activate virtual environment
source ~/.nanobot/workspace/venv/bin/activate

# Install packages
pip install <package_name>

# Execute Python scripts
python <script_path>

# Deactivate when done
deactivate

Always activate the venv before any pip or python command.

Creation Workflow

Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks to create a new script.

Phase 1: Plan Confirmation

Before creating anything, present a detailed creation plan to the user:

📋 Script Creation Plan for: <script_name>

Directory: ~/.nanobot/workspace/test/<script_name>
File: <script_name>.<extension>
Language: <language>
Dependencies: <list of required packages, or "None">

Steps to execute:
1. Create directory ~/.nanobot/workspace/test/<script_name>
2. Initialize Git repository
3. Create script file <script_name>.<extension>
4. [If Python with dependencies] Activate venv and install: <packages>
5. Write script content
6. Create initial Git commit

Proceed with this plan? (yes/no)

Wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding.

Phase 2: Step-by-Step Execution

Execute each step sequentially and report progress after each one:

Step 1: Create directory

cd ~/.nanobot/workspace/test
mkdir <script_name>

Step 2: Initialize Git

cd <script_name>
git init

Step 3: Create script file

touch <script_name>.<extension>

Step 4: Install dependencies (if Python with dependencies)

source ~/.nanobot/workspace/venv/bin/activate
pip install <package1> <package2> ...
deactivate

Step 5: Write script content

# Write the actual script code to the file

Step 6: Create initial commit

git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit: <script_name>"

Final summary:

✅ Script created successfully!

Location: ~/.nanobot/workspace/test/<script_name>/<script_name>.<extension>
Git status: Clean (1 commit)
[If Python] Virtual environment: ~/.nanobot/workspace/venv

Modification Workflow

Use this skill only when the user asks to modify an existing script.

Phase 1: Plan Confirmation

Before modifying, present the modification plan:

📝 Script Modification Plan for: <script_name>

Location: ~/.nanobot/workspace/test/<script_name>/<script_file>
Changes requested: <summary of user's request>

Steps to execute:
1. Enter script directory
2. Create checkpoint commit (current state)
3. Apply modifications: <specific changes>
4. [If new Python dependencies] Install via venv: <packages>
5. Commit changes with message: "<description>"

Proceed with this plan? (yes/no)

Wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding.

Phase 2: Step-by-Step Execution

Step 1: Enter directory

cd ~/.nanobot/workspace/test/<script_name>

Step 2: Create checkpoint

git add .
git commit -m "Checkpoint before modification"

Step 3: Apply modifications

# Modify the script file as requested

Step 4: Install new dependencies (if applicable)

source ~/.nanobot/workspace/venv/bin/activate
pip install <new_package>
deactivate

Step 5: Commit changes

git add .
git commit -m "<concise description of the change>"

Final summary:

✅ Script modified successfully!

Location: ~/.nanobot/workspace/test/<script_name>/<script_file>
Changes: <brief summary>
Git commits: 2 new commits (checkpoint + modification)

Hard Constraints (Must Never Be Violated)

• Never create a new script unless explicitly instructed
• Never proceed without user confirmation of the plan
• Never skip progress reporting after each step
• Never create additional files unless explicitly instructed
• Never skip the pre-modification git commit
• Never modify files outside the target script
• Never rewrite git history
• Never use system Python - always use ~/.nanobot/workspace/venv
• Never assume missing intent

Decision Rules

• If the script directory does not exist → creation workflow
• If the script directory exists → modification workflow
• If intent is ambiguous → ask for clarification, do nothing
• If plan is not confirmed → stop and wait for confirmation

Progress Reporting Format

Use these symbols for consistency:

• 📋 Plan presentation
• ✓ Successful step completion
• ✅ Final success summary
• ⚠️ Warning or clarification needed
• ❌ Error or failure

Philosophy

Git is the memory. The filesystem is the contract. Confirmation prevents mistakes. Transparency builds trust. The venv isolates dependencies.
