Active Skills Phase 1: Foundation Implementation Plan

For Claude: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

Goal: Fix fundamental issues in llms.txt handling: rename .txt→.md, download all 3 variants, remove truncation.

Architecture: Modify existing llms.txt download/parse/build workflow to handle multiple variants correctly, store with proper extensions, and preserve complete content without truncation.

Tech Stack: Python 3.10+, requests, BeautifulSoup4, existing Skill_Seekers architecture

Task 1: Add Multi-Variant Detection

Files:

Modify: cli/llms_txt_detector.py
Test: tests/test_llms_txt_detector.py

Step 1: Write failing test for detect_all() method

# tests/test_llms_txt_detector.py (add new test)

def test_detect_all_variants():
    """Test detecting all llms.txt variants"""
    from unittest.mock import patch, Mock

    detector = LlmsTxtDetector("https://hono.dev/docs")

    with patch('cli.llms_txt_detector.requests.head') as mock_head:
        # Mock responses for different variants
        def mock_response(url, **kwargs):
            response = Mock()
            # All 3 variants exist for Hono
            if 'llms-full.txt' in url or 'llms.txt' in url or 'llms-small.txt' in url:
                response.status_code = 200
            else:
                response.status_code = 404
            return response

        mock_head.side_effect = mock_response

        variants = detector.detect_all()

        assert len(variants) == 3
        assert any(v['variant'] == 'full' for v in variants)
        assert any(v['variant'] == 'standard' for v in variants)
        assert any(v['variant'] == 'small' for v in variants)
        assert all('url' in v for v in variants)

Step 2: Run test to verify it fails

Run: source .venv/bin/activate && pytest tests/test_llms_txt_detector.py::test_detect_all_variants -v

Expected: FAIL with "AttributeError: 'LlmsTxtDetector' object has no attribute 'detect_all'"

Step 3: Implement detect_all() method

# cli/llms_txt_detector.py (add new method)

def detect_all(self) -> List[Dict[str, str]]:
    """
    Detect all available llms.txt variants.

    Returns:
        List of dicts with 'url' and 'variant' keys for each found variant

    for filename, variant in self.VARIANTS:
        parsed = urlparse(self.base_url)
        root_url = f"{parsed.scheme}://{parsed.netloc}"
        url = f"{root_url}/{filename}"

        if self._check_url_exists(url):
            found_variants.append({
                'url': url,
                'variant': variant
            })

    return found_variants

Step 4: Add import for List and Dict at top of file

# cli/llms_txt_detector.py (add to imports)
from typing import Optional, Dict, List

Step 5: Run test to verify it passes

Run: source .venv/bin/activate && pytest tests/test_llms_txt_detector.py::test_detect_all_variants -v

Expected: PASS

Step 6: Commit

git add cli/llms_txt_detector.py tests/test_llms_txt_detector.py
git commit -m "feat: add detect_all() for multi-variant detection"

Task 2: Add File Extension Renaming to Downloader

Files:

Modify: cli/llms_txt_downloader.py
Test: tests/test_llms_txt_downloader.py

Step 1: Write failing test for get_proper_filename() method

def test_get_proper_filename():
    """Test filename conversion from .txt to .md"""
    downloader = LlmsTxtDownloader("https://hono.dev/llms-full.txt")

    downloader = LlmsTxtDownloader("https://hono.dev/llms-small.txt")

    filename = downloader.get_proper_filename()

    assert filename == "llms-small.md"

Step 2: Run test to verify it fails

Run: source .venv/bin/activate && pytest tests/test_llms_txt_downloader.py::test_get_proper_filename -v

Expected: FAIL with "AttributeError: 'LlmsTxtDownloader' object has no attribute 'get_proper_filename'"

Step 3: Implement get_proper_filename() method

# cli/llms_txt_downloader.py (add new method)

def get_proper_filename(self) -> str:
    """
    Extract filename from URL and convert .txt to .md

    # Replace .txt with .md
    if filename.endswith('.txt'):
        filename = filename[:-4] + '.md'

    return filename

Step 4: Run test to verify it passes

Run: source .venv/bin/activate && pytest tests/test_llms_txt_downloader.py::test_get_proper_filename -v

Expected: PASS (all 3 tests)

Step 5: Commit

git add cli/llms_txt_downloader.py tests/test_llms_txt_downloader.py
git commit -m "feat: add get_proper_filename() for .txt to .md conversion"

Expected: PASS

Step 5: Run full test suite to check for regressions

Run: source .venv/bin/activate && pytest tests/ -v

Expected: All 201+ tests pass

git commit -m "feat: remove content truncation in reference files"

Task 5: Update Documentation

Files:

Modify: docs/plans/2025-10-24-active-skills-design.md
Modify: CHANGELOG.md

Step 1: Update design doc status

# docs/plans/2025-10-24-active-skills-design.md (update header)

**Status:** Phase 1 Implemented ✅

Step 2: Add CHANGELOG entry

# CHANGELOG.md (add new section at top)

## [Unreleased]

### Added - Phase 1: Active Skills Foundation
- Multi-variant llms.txt detection: downloads all 3 variants (full, standard, small)
- Automatic .txt → .md file extension conversion
- No content truncation: preserves complete documentation
- `detect_all()` method for finding all llms.txt variants
- `get_proper_filename()` for correct .md naming

### Changed
- `_try_llms_txt()` now downloads all available variants instead of just one
- Reference files now contain complete content (no 2500 char limit)
- Code samples now include full code (no 600 char limit)

### Fixed
- File extension bug: llms.txt files now saved as .md
- Content loss: 0% truncation (was 36%)

Step 3: Commit

git add docs/plans/2025-10-24-active-skills-design.md CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "docs: update status for Phase 1 completion"

Task 6: Manual Verification

Files:

None (manual testing)

Step 1: Test with Hono config

Run: source .venv/bin/activate && python3 cli/doc_scraper.py --config configs/hono.json

Expected output:

🔍 Checking for llms.txt at https://hono.dev/docs...
📌 Using explicit llms_txt_url from config: https://hono.dev/llms-full.txt
  💾 Saved llms-full.md (319000 chars)
📄 Parsing llms-full.md for skill building...
  ✓ Parsed 93 sections
✅ Used llms.txt (explicit) - skipping HTML scraping

Step 2: Verify all 3 files exist with correct extensions

Run: ls -lah output/hono/references/llms*.md

Expected:

llms-full.md    319k
llms.md         5.4k
llms-small.md   176k

Step 3: Verify no truncation in reference files

Run: grep -c "Content truncated" output/hono/references/*.md

Expected: 0 matches (no truncation messages)

Step 4: Check file sizes are correct

Run: wc -c output/hono/references/llms-full.md

Expected: Should match original download size (~319k), not reduced to 203k

Step 5: Verify all tests still pass

Run: source .venv/bin/activate && pytest tests/ -v

Expected: All tests pass (201+)

Completion Checklist

Task 6: Manual verification
All tests passing
No regressions in existing functionality

Success Criteria

Technical:

✅ All 3 variants downloaded when available
✅ Files saved with .md extension (not .txt)
✅ 0% content truncation (was 36%)
✅ All existing tests pass
✅ New tests cover all changes

User Experience:

✅ Hono skill has all 3 files: llms-full.md, llms.md, llms-small.md
✅ Reference files contain complete documentation
✅ No "[Content truncated]" messages in output

Notes

This plan implements Phase 1 from docs/plans/2025-10-24-active-skills-design.md
Phase 2 (Catalog System) and Phase 3 (Active Scripts) will be separate plans
All changes maintain backward compatibility with existing HTML scraping
File extension fix (.txt → .md) is critical for proper skill functionality

Estimated Time

Task 1: 15 minutes
Task 2: 15 minutes
Task 3: 30 minutes
Task 4: 20 minutes
Task 5: 10 minutes
Task 6: 15 minutes
