Skill instructions
Add a Component Before You Start bash Check if it already exists azldev comp list -p <name -q -O json Inspect the upstream spec first The fastest way to see what you're working with: 1. Add a bare inline entry in components.toml: [components.<name] 2. Pull the spec: azldev comp prep-sources -p <name --skip-overlays --force -o base/build/work/scratch/<name -q 3. Read the spec, plan your overlays 4. Decide if overlays are required, if so: Remove the inline entry, create a dedicated <name/<name.comp.toml Fedora dist-git is behind bot detection — direct web fetches often fail. Use prep-sources to pull specs reliably. Note: prep-sources -o writes to the directory you specify — this is ad-hoc output, separate from the project's configured build output dirs in base/project.toml. Decision: Inline vs Dedicated File Inline (in components.toml) — simple upstream import, no modifications: toml [components.jq] Dedicated file (<name/<name.comp.toml) — needs overlays, build config, or local spec: tom
