Skill instructions
Instance Storage & Sessions The Pattern Problem: You run multiple instances of something (task runners, user sessions, build jobs). Each needs isolated storage, lifecycle tracking, and its own subdirectory tree. You also have expensive initialization (loading bundles, connecting to APIs) that should happen once, not per instance. Approach: A filesystem-backed instance store with per-instance directories, per-instance file locking, and a session factory that prepares once and creates many. Pattern proven in production across multiple Python CLI tools and web services. Key Design Decisions 1. Instance-rooted directory layout All data for a single instance lives under one directory. Example layout (adapt to your needs): ~/.my-tool/ instances/{instanceid}/ instance.json — lifecycle metadata (status, timestamps) workspace/ — code, git repo, tests logs/ — pipeline node logs, checkpoint.json events/ — events.jsonl, state.json, input-requests/ sidecar-data/ — sidecar service data (databases, r
