simulate-pipeline

Skill: simulate-pipeline

Use this skill to run disposable end-to-end smoke checks for workspace creation and promotion pipelines. It replaces the former simulate-project-creation and simulate-l3-to-variant-promotion skills; choose the path with an explicit mode flag.

Modes

--mode project-creation

Validates the project scaffolding path driven by new-project.ts.

1. Run bun scripts/new-project.ts "e2e-test-scaffold" --variant <variant> (for example --variant co-deck). --variant is required — without it new-project.ts lists valid variants and exits 1.
2. Verify the scaffold landed at Projects/e2e-test-scaffold (bare names scaffold under Projects/).
3. Verify the generated files exist and match the expected template layout.
4. Verify UTF-8 without BOM for generated Markdown and TypeScript files.
5. Run bun scripts/verify-scripts.ts --verify in the scaffolded project; it must exit 0 with 0 errors.
6. Delete the disposable scaffold after verification.

--mode l3-to-variant-promotion

Validates the L3 scaffold to L2 variant promotion smoke-test path.

1. Run bun scripts/test-l3-to-variant-promotion.ts.
2. Confirm the harness creates and removes its disposable Projects/ fixture and tests/.temp/ output.
3. Confirm assertions cover the historical regression classes: README files not classified as agents, report field name compatibility, no process.exit(1) from the programmatic API, and incomplete-agent gap detection.
4. Treat any non-zero exit as a blocker before promoting a real L3 project.
