    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

groove-admin-config

Outcome

.groove/index.md is created or updated with values confirmed by the user. The git strategy is applied immediately. User is ready to run /groove-admin-install.

Acceptance Criteria

  • .groove/index.md exists with all config keys populated
  • Each key was either confirmed by the user or accepted as default
  • Git strategy is applied (.groove/.gitignore written) before exiting
  • User is shown a summary of the final config and told to run /groove-admin-install

Steps

If --defaults is passed: skip all prompts, apply all defaults, and proceed directly to writing the config (step 1 of "After all keys are confirmed"). Report the defaults being applied.

Otherwise, walk the user through each config key in order. For each key: show the current value (or default if new), explain what it does, and ask to confirm or change.

Keys and defaults

KeyDefaultOptionsQuestion to ask
tasks.storagebeansbeans | linear | github | none"Which task backend? beans tracks tasks as markdown files in your repo."
tasks.list_limit15positive integer"Max tasks shown by task-list? (default: 15)"
tasks.analyse_limit30positive integer"Max tasks shown by task-analyse? (default: 30)"
memory.review_days5positive integer"How many recent business days to review at daily start? (default: 5)"
git.memoryignore-allignore-all | hybrid | commit-all"Git strategy for memory logs? ignore-all keeps them local, hybrid commits logs but ignores sessions, commit-all commits everything."
git.tasksignore-allignore-all | commit-all"Git strategy for task files (.groove/tasks/)? ignore-all keeps them local, commit-all tracks them in git."
git.hookscommit-allignore-all | commit-all"Git strategy for hooks (.groove/hooks/)? commit-all shares hooks with the team, ignore-all keeps them local."
groovebookandreadellacorte/groovebook<owner>/<repo> or blank"Groovebook repo for sharing learnings? Default: andreadellacorte/groovebook. Leave blank to disable."

After all keys are confirmed:

  1. Write .groove/index.md with confirmed values and groove-version: <installed version>
  2. Apply git strategy — write .groove/.gitignore (see constraints)
  3. Show summary of written config
  4. Tell user: "Run /groove-admin-install to install backends."

Constraints

  • If .groove/index.md already exists, pre-fill each question with the current value
  • Always write groovebook: (default andreadellacorte/groovebook; blank = disabled). Memory path (.groove/memory/) and specs path (.groove/memory/specs/) are hardcoded — do not prompt for them.
  • If --defaults is passed, apply all defaults without any prompting — used by groove-admin-install for zero-friction first-time setup
  • If other arguments are provided (e.g. tasks=linear git.memory=hybrid), apply them without prompting and use defaults for any unspecified keys
  • Always write groove-version: matching the installed version from skills/groove/SKILL.md

Git strategy → .groove/.gitignore

After writing .groove/index.md, generate .groove/.gitignore from the git.* sub-keys:

ComponentStrategyEntry added to .groove/.gitignore
git.memoryignore-allmemory/
git.memoryhybridmemory/sessions/
git.memorycommit-all(none)
git.tasksignore-alltasks/
git.taskscommit-all(none)
git.hooksignore-allhooks/
git.hookscommit-all(none)

Write the generated entries to .groove/.gitignore, replacing the file entirely. If no entries are generated (all commit-all), write an empty file with a comment: # groove git strategy: commit-all.

Always append these lines at the end of .groove/.gitignore, regardless of strategy:

# cache — always local
.cache/*
!.cache/.gitkeep
  • If .groove/ is listed in the root .gitignore, warn the user: "Note: .groove/ is in your root .gitignore — any commit-all strategies require removing it."
  • Do not modify the root .gitignore automatically — flag it for the user to resolve
