guide-authoring

guide-authoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zts212653/clowder-ai. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,928 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A standard process for creating guided walkthroughs inside an existing Console product. The walkthrough is described in YAML, a human-readable configuration format, then tagged, registered, and tested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify a user scenario, define its steps, add guide labels, register the flow, and run validation checks.
Why use it?
It gives new guides a consistent structure and makes them discoverable and checkable without changing the product's business logic.

About the project

Clowder AI is a self-hosted workspace where AI agents from different model families work together as a persistent team, retaining identities, shared evidence, and memory across tasks. It is for people who want to coordinate multiple AI agents without repeatedly rebuilding their context.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

guide-authoring scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Guide Authoring

为 Console 已有功能编写引导流程的标准 SOP:场景识别 → YAML 编排 → 标签标注 → 注册发现 → 测试验证。

When to Use

  • 需要为 Console 已有功能新增一条可触发的引导流程
  • 需要维护 guides/flows/*.yamlguides/tag-manifest.yamlguides/registry.yaml
  • 需要给已有功能补引导标签或补 registry 发现规则

Not for

  • 用户正在实际使用引导流程时的交互处理,用 guide-interaction
  • Guide Engine / callback route / overlay 的代码实现与 bug 修复,用 tdd
  • 纯视觉稿、动效或高保真设计稿,用 pencil-design

核心知识

原则 说明
编排即产品 Flow YAML 是终态产物,不是脚手架
页面零侵入 只加 data-guide-id 标签,不改业务逻辑
自动推进 用户操作即推进,无手动导航按钮(v2 KD-9)
平台内聚焦 聚焦 Console 已有功能的引导(KD-13),外部平台配置改为独立页签

前置依赖:F155 Guide Engine Phase A 已验收。

流程

Step 1: 场景识别

确认需要引导的场景,产出"场景卡片":

# 场景卡片
scene_id: api-provider-setup
scene_name: 配置 API Provider
target_user: 新部署用户 / 需要配置 LLM 的团队
pain_point: Provider 配置字段多,不同 provider 参数差异大
complexity: medium  # low / medium / high
estimated_steps: 4
estimated_time: 3min
related_features: [F155]

判断标准

  • complexity=high → 必须做引导
  • complexity=medium → 评估用户卡点频率再定
  • complexity=low → 不做引导,文档即可

Step 2: 步骤拆分 + YAML 编排

按 v2 自动推进模式编排,4 种 advance mode:

advance 用途 说明
click 点击目标元素 用户点击后自动前进
visible 目标元素出现 页面切换/展开后自动前进
input 输入填充 用户填写输入框后前进
confirm 操作确认 需要 guide:confirm 事件触发(如保存成功)

Flow YAML 模板(v2 schema):

id: {scene_id}
name: {scene_name}
description: {一句话描述}

steps:
  - id: step-1
    target: "namespace.element"    # data-guide-id 值
    tips: "点击这里开始配置"       # 引导文案
    advance: click                  # click / visible / input / confirm

  - id: step-2
    target: "namespace.form-field"
    tips: "填写 API 密钥"
    advance: input

  - id: step-final
    target: "namespace.save-button"
    tips: "点击保存完成配置"
    advance: confirm               # 保存成功后 guide:confirm 触发

编排规则

  • 每个 flow 必须有退出路径(HUD 退出按钮始终可用)
  • target 值必须匹配 data-guide-id,命名空间式(如 hub.trigger
  • target 必须通过 whitelist:/^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$/
  • 最后一步建议用 confirm 类型,确保操作真正成功后才完成
  • 全局 Esc 键已禁用(KD-14),防止误退出

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
