Skill instructions
Plugin check: Run node "${PLUGINROOT}/scripts/check-version.js" — if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding. <!-- alm-lint-ignore: SKILL-must-read-manifest — this skill manages the Pipelines host environment (deploymentenvironments / deploymentpipelines tables on the host), not the source-env solution. The site's .solution-manifest.json is irrelevant to host lifecycle: a host can be provisioned before any solution exists, and a single host is shared across many solutions. ALM-aware-by-default does not apply. -- ensure-pipelines-host Scope: When no host is bound to the source env, this skill detects any existing host (Custom or PE) for reuse, or — in NoHost state — offers three provisioning paths: a new Platform Host (recommended; idempotent, ~3–5 min); a new Custom Host (admin-only, ~5–10 min); or PPAC manual provisioning (fallback).
