Skill instructions
Fix an Overlay Diagnosis Workflow 1. Render and inspect The fastest way to check if overlays apply cleanly: bash azldev comp render -p <name Inspect the result cat specs/<first-char/<name/<name.spec If render fails, the error message will identify which overlay failed and why. 2. Diff pre/post overlay (deep debug) When you need to understand exactly what upstream provides vs. what overlays change: Use a temp dir for prep-sources output. Use --force to overwrite an existing output dir. prep-sources -o <dir writes to a user-specified directory (NOT base/out/ — that's for comp build output). bash azldev comp prep-sources -p <name --skip-overlays --force -o base/build/work/scratch/<name-pre -q azldev comp prep-sources -p <name --force -o base/build/work/scratch/<name-post -q diff -r base/build/work/scratch/<name-pre base/build/work/scratch/<name-post 3. Inspect the upstream spec/sources Look at the pre-overlay output dir — this is what the overlay is trying to modify. Common root cause: up
