crawlkit

Crawlkit

Purpose

Maintain crawlkit, the shared Go library for crawl app archive infrastructure. Use this skill to keep shared archive infrastructure reusable, tagged, and safe for downstream app branches.

When to use

Editing or reviewing crawlkit.
Moving common crawl app behavior into the library.
Checking whether gitcrawl, slacrawl, discrawl, or notcrawl can merge against a released crawlkit tag.
Preparing or verifying a crawlkit Go module release.
Investigating shared TUI, snapshot, config, SQLite, mirror, progress, or control metadata behavior.

Workflow

Locate the crawlkit checkout from the current repository, an explicit user path, or the configured workspace root.
Read repo-local AGENTS.md, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and docs/publishing.md before release or compatibility work.
Keep provider-specific logic out of crawlkit. Shared mechanics belong in packages such as config, store, snapshot, mirror, state, output, progress, tui, cache, and control.

Run the library gate with workspace masking disabled:

GOWORK=off go mod tidy
git diff --exit-code -- go.mod go.sum
GOWORK=off go vet ./...
GOWORK=off go test -count=1 ./...

For release checks, verify the signed tag and public Go proxy:

git tag -v <version>
GOPROXY=https://proxy.golang.org GONOSUMDB= go list -m github.com/vincentkoc/crawlkit@<version>

For downstream readiness, inspect app branches read-only. Confirm they are clean, rebased, require the released crawlkit version, and pass:
```
GOWORK=off go test ./...
<app> --help
<app> --version
<app> metadata --json
<app> status --json
<app> tui --json
```
Use temp HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, and XDG_CACHE_HOME for CLI smokes. Never mutate live app archives.

Inputs

Target task: library edit, release verification, downstream readiness, or TUI backport.
Optional version tag such as v0.4.0.
Optional downstream app branch paths.

Outputs

A clean crawlkit change or readiness report.
Validation commands and results.
Explicit compatibility risks for downstream app branches.
Local binary rebuild notes only when the user asks for app binaries.
