Summary

Artemis now ships agent skills: packaged procedures that teach an AI coding agent how this repository actually works. Which Playwright specs a change affects. Why a build went red. Which architectural rules a new service is subject to, and the command that proves each one.

Seven skills live in skills/ and install into roughly seventy agents with npx skills add ls1intum/Artemis, or into Claude Code as a versioned plugin. A new Work with AI page in the developer documentation explains how to install and extend them.

Checklist

General

Motivation and Context

CLAUDE.md is loaded into an agent's context on every single request, so it has to stay short. That makes it a good place for facts and a bad place for procedures.

The consequence is visible in day-to-day work. CLAUDE.md can say "do not use @Transactional in a service", but it has no room to say which of the 174 ArchUnit test classes enforces that, or how to run it locally in thirty seconds instead of discovering it in CI forty minutes later. It can say the E2E suite exists, but not how to run only the twenty tests a change affects rather than all 316. It cannot carry the knowledge that Server Tests reporting zero failures next to a timeout is a healthy run killed by the wall-clock backstop, not a broken test.

So that knowledge gets re-derived in every session, and CI catches the mistakes late with messages that often do not name the actual rule.

An agent skill is the opposite shape. Only its one-line description stays resident; the body loads when the agent decides the skill is relevant. A skill can therefore afford to be long, and can carry exactly what does not fit in CLAUDE.md: the steps, the commands, the reason behind a rule, and the failure modes that look like something else.

The division this PR establishes:

  • CLAUDE.md — what is true about this repository
  • skills/ — how to do a particular job in it

Keeping the skills in this repository, rather than in one of their own, is the point: a convention change and its skill update land in the same pull request, so the two cannot drift.

Description

The seven skills

Skill What it does
e2e-pr-check Resolves the specs a change affects, picks the single-node or multi-node runner, and interprets the result
ci-triage Classifies a red build before anyone edits code
server-arch-gates Maps a server change to the rules it must satisfy, with the local command for each
liquibase-migration Guarded NOT NULL, expand and contract, and the differences between our two databases
client-conventions Signal APIs, the ngOnChanges ban, cloning, TUM UI and semantic colour tokens
write-tests Base class selection, the admin naming rule, and the test commands that silently do the wrong thing
local-setup Fresh clone to a running server and client

Each is a SKILL.md holding the procedure, plus reference/ files holding the background. Reference files cost nothing until the agent reads them, which is what lets the skills go into real depth.

e2e-pr-check deliberately does not reimplement test selection. It calls .ci/E2E-tests/determine-relevant-tests.sh, the same resolver CI uses, so local selection and CI selection cannot disagree.

Distribution

skills/<name>/SKILL.md at the repository root is the layout the skills CLI discovers, so npx skills add ls1intum/Artemis works for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, opencode, Zed, Windsurf, Gemini CLI and others. .claude-plugin/plugin.json additionally presents the repository as a single plugin named artemis, so Claude Code users can install namespaced, versioned skills (/artemis:e2e-pr-check). One copy of the content serves both paths.

Supporting changes

Three changes outside skills/ and documentation/ were needed to make the above work, and each is a small improvement in its own right.

--specs on both fast E2E runners. Both runners hardcoded BASE_ARGS=(e2e) as the positional Playwright argument, and their --filter maps to Playwright's --grep, which matches test titles. There was therefore no way to hand either runner a set of spec files, which is exactly what the mapping in e2e-test-mapping.json produces. --specs "<paths>" replaces the positional argument and composes with --filter.

determine-relevant-tests.sh now runs on macOS. It uses associative arrays and mapfile, so on macOS's default bash 3.2 it died on declare -A with a misleading invalid option error, making it effectively CI-only. It now re-execs under a bash 4+ found on PATH (Homebrew's, typically) and gives a clear brew install bash message if there is none. On CI, which already runs bash 5, the preamble is a no-op.

A citation check. A skill that names a file which has since moved is worse than no skill, because an agent acts on it without verifying. supporting_scripts/check_skill_references.py scans everything under skills/ for backtick-quoted repository paths and fails if any no longer resolves. It runs as a new Agent Skills job in the Quality workflow. It currently validates 73 cited paths.

Steps for Testing

No test server is involved; this is repository tooling and documentation. Everything below runs locally from a checkout of this branch.

1. The citation check

python3 supporting_scripts/check_skill_references.py

Expect OK: 73 path reference(s) in skills/ all resolve. Then break one deliberately, for example change a path inside skills/write-tests/reference/server.md to something that does not exist, and confirm the script fails and names the file and the bad path.

2. Test selection

./.ci/E2E-tests/determine-relevant-tests.sh origin/develop

On this branch expect RELEVANT_COUNT=3: no mapped module source changed, so only the always-run specs are selected. Then try a base whose diff touches a mapped module, for example ./.ci/E2E-tests/determine-relevant-tests.sh HEAD~5, and confirm the selection widens accordingly. macOS users should confirm it now runs at all rather than failing on declare -A.

3. The --specs option

./run-e2e-tests-local-fast.sh --help          # the new option is documented
./run-e2e-tests-local-fast.sh --specs         # rejects a missing value, exit 1

Then, with a free stack, run the selected specs and confirm only those execute:

./run-e2e-tests-local-fast.sh --specs "e2e/Login.spec.ts e2e/Logout.spec.ts e2e/SystemHealth.spec.ts"

Without bringing services up, the narrowing itself can be seen directly:

cd src/test/playwright
pnpm exec playwright test e2e --project=fast-tests --project=slow-tests --list | grep -cE '^\s+\['
pnpm exec playwright test e2e/Login.spec.ts e2e/Logout.spec.ts e2e/SystemHealth.spec.ts --project=fast-tests --project=slow-tests --list | grep -cE '^\s+\['

Expect 418 and 17.

4. Installing the skills

npx skills add ls1intum/Artemis          # any agent
claude plugin validate .                 # the plugin manifests
claude --plugin-dir .                    # load the working copy in Claude Code

After installing in Claude Code, ask something like "Run the E2E tests my branch affects" or "Why is this PR red?" and confirm the matching skill is picked up.

5. The documentation page

cd documentation && pnpm run build

Confirm developer/work-with-ai is generated and reads correctly, including the two callouts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Local end-to-end test runs now support selecting specific Playwright specifications, optionally combined with filters.
    • Added compatibility support for running test tooling with older Bash versions.
    • Added packaged agent skills and plugin manifests for development workflows.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for AI-assisted development, local setup, CI troubleshooting, testing, coding conventions, and database migrations.
    • Added agent skill installation and usage documentation to the developer documentation sidebar.
  • Developer Tools

    • Enhanced validation for references in agent skill documentation, including fenced Markdown support and self-tests.

CLAUDE.md is loaded on every request, so it has to stay short. That makes
it a good place for facts and a bad place for procedures. Seven agent
skills now carry the procedures, loading only when used:

  e2e-pr-check        run only the specs a change affects
  ci-triage           classify a red build before changing code
  server-arch-gates   the rules a server change must satisfy
  liquibase-migration changelogs that survive a rolling deploy
  client-conventions  signal APIs, cloning, TUM UI styling
  write-tests         base classes and the test commands that mislead
  local-setup         fresh clone to a running server and client

They live at skills/ so `npx skills add ls1intum/Artemis` reaches any
agent, and .claude-plugin/ presents the repository as one plugin so
Claude Code can install namespaced, versioned skills.

Supporting changes:

- run-e2e-tests-local-fast.sh and the multinode-fast variant take
  --specs, which replaces the hardcoded e2e positional argument. Until
  now --filter mapped to Playwright --grep, which matches test titles,
  so there was no way to ask either runner for a set of spec files.
- determine-relevant-tests.sh re-execs under bash 4+ when it finds
  itself on macOS's bash 3.2, where it died on declare -A. No change on
  CI, which already runs bash 5.
- check_skill_references.py fails the Quality workflow when a skill
  cites a repository path that no longer exists. A skill naming a moved
  file is worse than no skill: an agent acts on it without checking.

🟡 Changes recommended

The new check_skill_references.py validator currently misses some repository-path citations (e.g., root-level paths and non-trailing glob patterns), weakening the CI guarantee it is meant to enforce.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces “agent skills” (procedural guidance packaged under skills/) plus a new developer documentation page (“Work with AI”), and adds small supporting tooling/CI updates to keep those skills correct and usable across environments.

Changes:

  • Add seven agent skills under skills/ (with supporting reference docs) and document installation/usage in the developer docs.
  • Add a CI-validated path-citation checker for skills (supporting_scripts/check_skill_references.py) and run it in the Quality workflow.
  • Improve local E2E ergonomics by adding --specs to both fast E2E runners and making determine-relevant-tests.sh re-exec under bash 4+ on macOS.

Align the cloning guidance with the enforced ESLint scope.

prefer-deep-clone reports every object spread in src/main/webapp/app/**/*.ts, except spec files. It does not check whether the value is entity-like. eslint.config.mjs separately blocks direct cloneDeep and cloneDeepWith imports from lodash-es and the lodash-es/cloneDeep subpath.

Document the permitted EntityManagerFactory listener-registration exception.

TitleCacheEvictionService is explicitly excluded from shouldNotUseEntityManagerDirectly. It uses EntityManagerFactory only to register Hibernate update and delete listeners, and the reference names it as the canonical cache-eviction pattern. Update both architecture rules to permit this pattern while still prohibiting direct persistence access.

of dropping those tokens early.
- Line 28: Update the reference scanning logic using BACKTICK to also inspect
ordinary lines inside fenced code blocks, not only inline backtick text. Extract
path-like tokens from fenced content, normalize a leading ./, and retain
existing inline-reference behavior.
- Line 71: Update path resolution in path_exists so tokens containing traversal
cannot escape the repository root: resolve both the candidate token path and
root, verify the candidate remains under root, then check existence. Preserve
the existing boolean return behavior for valid in-root paths.

Correctness of the skills themselves, first. A skill that states something
false is worse than no skill, and review found three that did:

- local-setup claimed create_test_users.sh seeds the Playwright users and
  that the fast E2E runner calls it. Neither is true: those users come from
  the Liquibase E2E changelog, and that script creates three unrelated ones
  and needs a server argument it was not shown with.
- ci-triage's workflow/job table was wrong in four of five rows, which is
  the map the skill navigates by.
- e2e-pr-check said the suite is ~316 tests (it is 418), that a bad --specs
  path yields a silent "no tests found" (Playwright errors and exits 1), and
  described only the harmless direction of the uncommitted-changes trap.

The citation check never ran on the PRs it guards. ci-quality.yml is gated
on build_relevant, which is false when every changed file is markdown, so a
skills-only PR skipped it entirely. Moved to its own ci-skills.yml behind a
has_skills area filter, following the has_beans precedent, and added to the
required gate.

The checker itself was narrower than its docstring claimed:

- a non-trailing glob such as config/application-*.yml was reported broken
- intra-skill reference/ links were invisible, the likeliest breakage of all
- fenced code blocks were never scanned, so example commands went unchecked
- a citation under a renamed top-level directory was skipped, not reported
- a token with .. could escape the repository
- the known-top-level set came from iterdir(), so it depended on whether the
  working tree happened to hold build output; it now comes from git ls-files

It checks 92 distinct citations, up from 73 counted with duplicates.

Also: registered the docs page in sidebar-developer.ts, which is an explicit
sidebar rather than an autogenerated one, so the page was unreachable from
the navigation; fixed the multinode --help off-by-one; marked the abridged
SQL snippet so it is not copied as a template; documented --specs and
corrected a stale ESLint rule name in CLAUDE.md; gitignored __pycache__.
Copilot suggested also validating bare tokens such as CLAUDE.md. Measured
against the current skills, that reports 8 of 13 as broken: *Test.java is a
naming rule, ArchitectureTest.java a class, SKILL.md a kind of file, ci.yml
a workflow named by its basename. The subset that would be safe, a bare name
that is a tracked top-level file, can never fail, because the token is only
recognised as a path because it already exists.

Two more claims that did not survive checking against the source.

local-setup said the E2E changelog seeds artemis_test_user_1 through _20.
It seeds seven users and the numbering is not contiguous: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 16,
plus artemis_admin. A reader following the old text would look for
artemis_test_user_5 and not find it. Replaced with the actual list and the
Playwright name each maps to.

CLAUDE.md documented `pnpm run vitest -- path/to/spec.ts` as the way to run a
single file. Measured: the path is not forwarded as a filter and the whole
suite runs, 1298 files instead of 1. This is the same trap write-tests warns
about, so the facts file contradicted the skill. Corrected to
`pnpm exec vitest run <path>` with a note about the form that does not work.

Also dropped a "wastes 40 minutes" figure from ci-triage for a claim that
does not go stale.

Merging develop brought in #13648, which renamed BlobCacheEvictionService to
PerNodeCacheEvictionService and started serving titles per node too. The
citation check caught the stale path in server-arch-gates within seconds of
the merge, which is a fair demonstration of why it exists.

Updated the caching guidance for what the code now does: RoutingCacheManager
routes both BLOB_CACHE_NAMES and the new TITLE_CACHE_NAMES to per-node
Caffeine and everything else to the distributed provider, every per-node
cache expires on a TTL, and PerNodeCacheEvictionService broadcasts evictions
over a plain topic because a dropped broadcast self-corrects within that TTL.
CLAUDE.md carried the same stale class name and is corrected with it.

Also, per review, the checker now recognises tilde fences (~~~) as well as
backtick fences, so a tilde-fenced example block is no longer skipped.

CI status: two red checks, both inherited from develop

Every check on this PR passes except two, and both fail identically on develop's own HEAD. This PR changes no Java, Gradle, or resource files (git diff --stat origin/develop...HEAD -- '*.java' '*.gradle' 'src/main/resources/**' is empty), so neither is reachable from it.

1. Bean Instantiations

Result
This PR (run 33926025597) ❌ 159 > 158 threshold
develop @ 046360c (run 33919784143) ❌ 159 > 158 threshold

Byte-identical. develop is one bean over MAX_INSTANTIATED_BEANS: 158, most likely the TitleCacheConfiguration added by #13648 landing without a matching threshold bump.

I have deliberately not raised the threshold here. Raising a repository-wide quality limit inside a documentation-and-skills PR would hide another change's regression and make the history misleading about who owns it. It wants a one-line PR from whoever owns the new bean.

2. E2E: Report E2E Overall Status

Phase 1 passes (17/17). Phase 2 has a single failure:

e2e/admin/DataExport.spec.ts:74 › Personal data export › Exports a repository as a walkable repository directory rather than a nested archive

The same spec, line and title fails on develop @ 046360c, on the first attempt and on retry. develop additionally fails admin/FeatureUsage.spec.ts:56 and admin/UserDeletion.spec.ts:167; merging develop into this branch reduced this PR from two E2E failures to that one.

develop's own All required CI Passed is currently red for both reasons.


Everything else

Green: Server Tests, Client Tests, Server + Client Code Style, Client Compilation, Server Code Quality, Query Quality, Agent Skills, Build, Docker image, CodeQL, docs build, actionlint, shellcheck, Translation Keys, Version Consistency, Gradle Wrapper, E2E Determine + Phase 1, Codacy, CodeRabbit.

Local verification

The --specs option was exercised against a real local stack: 17 passed (30.1s), running exactly the three specs determine-relevant-tests.sh selected for this branch. Beyond that: the shipped BASE_ARGS block was exercised in both runners across 7 cases each, --specs parsing across 8 edge cases, the bash re-exec across 6 (including macOS bash 3.2 and the no-recursion guard), the citation checker against a fixture of 5 broken and 6 valid citation forms, and 74 content-level claims made by the skills were checked against the code they describe.

One of those citations went stale during this PR: merging develop brought in #13648's rename of BlobCacheEvictionService to PerNodeCacheEvictionService, and the new CI check caught it immediately. CLAUDE.md carried the same stale name and is corrected here too. That is the check doing the job it was added for, on real drift, within hours.

The fence parser used a single generic toggle, so a `~~~` line inside a
``` block closed it, and a ``` line inside a `~~~` block did the same. That
inverts the inside/outside state for the rest of the file: real citations in
later code blocks stop being checked, and prose starts being scanned as code.
The failure is silent, which is the worst shape for a check whose whole job
is to notice staleness.

Fence matching now follows CommonMark: a block is closed only by a fence of
the same character, at least as long as the opening one, and carrying no info
string. Anything else is content.

Measured against a mixed-delimiter fixture, the old parser missed a citation
the new one catches:

  old: before-infostring, four-backtick-block, inside-tilde-block
  new: before-infostring, four-backtick-block, inside-tilde-block,
       inside-backtick-block

Those cases are now a --self-test in the script, run as its own CI step
before the scan. This repository has no pytest setup, and adding one for a
single script would cost more than it returns, so the regression cases live
next to the code they guard. Verified that --self-test fails against the old
parser and passes against the new one.
…nforces them

Two review nitpicks, both correct on checking.

client-conventions framed the cloning ban as applying to "anything
entity-like". The linter makes no such distinction: prefer-deep-clone flags
every object spread, Object.assign and structuredClone in production client
TypeScript, spec files exempt. Verified with a probe file — a spread of
`{ a: 1, b: 2 }` fails exactly like a spread of a Course. The entity-like
reasoning is why the rule exists, not what it checks, and the skill now says
both. Also records that eslint.config.mjs blocks cloneDeepWith and the
lodash-es/cloneDeep subpath, not just cloneDeep, and folds a duplicated
array-spread note into one place.

server-arch-gates stated "no injected EntityManager or EntityManagerFactory"
absolutely while separately naming TitleCacheEvictionService as the canonical
eviction pattern. That class is on the rule's exception list precisely because
it holds an EntityManagerFactory, to reach the Hibernate EventListenerRegistry
and register itself. Read as written, the skill pointed at an example that
appears to break the rule it had just stated. Both places now say the list is
grandfathering with a TODO attached, name all three classes on it, and tell
the reader to copy the eviction logic rather than the constructor.

Both review nitpicks addressed (1aca75a)

These two arrived in the review body rather than as inline threads, so replying here. Both were correct.

1. Cloning guidance versus the enforced ESLint scope (skills/client-conventions/SKILL.md)

Right: the skill said the ban applies to "anything entity-like", and the rule makes no such distinction. Verified with a probe under src/main/webapp/app/:

2:28  error  Object spread copies only one level...  localRules/prefer-deep-clone   ← { ...plain }
3:30  error  Object spread copies only one level...  localRules/prefer-deep-clone   ← { ...{ x: 1 } }
4:25  error  `Object.assign` copies only one level... localRules/prefer-deep-clone
5:27  error  `structuredClone` does not preserve...   localRules/prefer-deep-clone
✖ 5 problems

A spread of { a: 1, b: 2 } fails exactly like a spread of a Course; array spread and object rest were not flagged. The skill now separates what the rule checks (every spread, Object.assign and structuredClone in production client TS, specs exempt) from why it exists (the entity-like corruption). It also now records that eslint.config.mjs blocks cloneDeepWith and the lodash-es/cloneDeep subpath, not just cloneDeep, and a duplicated array-spread note is folded into one place.

2. The EntityManagerFactory exception (skills/server-arch-gates/)

Also right, and this one was actively misleading. The skill stated "no injected EntityManager or EntityManagerFactory" absolutely, then a few sections later named TitleCacheEvictionService as the canonical eviction pattern — a class that is on the rule's exception list because it holds an EntityManagerFactory.

I described it slightly differently from your suggestion, though, because "permit this pattern" overstates what the code says. ArchitectureTest.java:636-637 is:

// TODO: Refactor these classes to eliminate direct EntityManager usage and remove from this exception list.
final var exceptions = new Class[] { RepositoryImpl.class, CustomPostRepositoryImpl.class, TitleCacheEvictionService.class };

That is grandfathering with a removal TODO, not a blessed pattern. Documenting it as permitted would invite the next class to join the list, which is the opposite of the intent. Both the skill and the reference now name all three classes, say the list is grandfathering, explain that the EntityManagerFactory is only there to reach the Hibernate EventListenerRegistry, and tell the reader to copy the eviction logic rather than the constructor. shouldNotUseRawJdbcDirectly has no per-class exceptions, so it is left as it was.

All 12 review threads on this PR are now resolved.
