What changed\n- Adds a local Skills library with name, description, version, source, enabled state, and bounded instruction content.\n- Adds create/update/delete/enable APIs and an App Settings library manager.\n- Adds per-bot Skills selection in Bot Settings. Only enabled, assigned skill IDs are composed into that bot's system context.\n\n## Architecture\n- Skill content stays local and is intentionally excluded from catalog/config snapshots.\n- skillPrompt is the one central gate, so unknown, disabled, and unassigned skills cannot inflate prompts.\n- The persisted portable format is intentionally shared with the forthcoming Teach a Skill slice.\n\n## Overlap avoided\n- Does not duplicate PR #51 routines/command palette, connector work, MCP management, or provider behavior.\n\n## Verification\n- corepack pnpm typecheck\n- corepack pnpm test — 66 passed, 39 platform-gated skips\n- corepack pnpm build\n- New tests cover snapshot non-disclosure, selective loading, validation, and API CRUD/enable behavior.\n\n## Limitations\n- The first manager supports create, enable/disable, and delete. Rich instruction editing/import and generated taught skills land in the next vertical slice.\n- Browser UI interaction was not re-run for this small Settings extension; the production build and typed component checks passed.

Warning

Review limit reached

@carbongotfound, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 54 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Changes

Skill management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Skill contracts and prompt utilities
server/config.ts, server/skills.ts, server/store.ts, server/skills.test.ts
The server adds skill types, validation, snapshots, prompt generation, persistence fields, and utility tests.
Skill API and server integration
server/index.ts
The server adds skill CRUD endpoints, configuration status data, bot skill assignments, persistence, deletion cleanup, and prompt integration.
Settings UI and client state
src/state/store.tsx, src/components/SettingsPanel.tsx, src/components/SkillsManager.tsx, src/components/AppSettingsPanel.tsx
The client manages skill metadata and assignments. Settings panels support creation, toggling, selection, and deletion.
End-to-end API validation
server/index.test.ts
The lifecycle test covers creation, listing, disabling, instruction redaction, and deletion.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8529a

Skill management currently allows updates to target the wrong identifier and can create records that cannot be managed through the API; repeated settings actions can also create duplicate writes or misleading errors, while duplicate assignments may repeat instructions in a bot’s context. The PR should not merge until these bounded correctness and interaction issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

In `@server/index.ts`:
- Line 890: Update the skillIds handling in the PATCH body processing to retain
only known skill IDs and remove duplicates before assigning them to
patch.skillIds, while preserving the existing string-type filtering and 50-item
limit.

In `@server/skills.ts`:
- Line 11: Update the source validation expression to require typeof
input.source === "string" before checking the allowed values, while preserving
the "custom" fallback and storing only a validated SkillConfig["source"] string.
- Line 12: Update the skill ID handling in the skill construction logic so
updates always retain existingId and cannot be overridden by request input. For
creation, validate supplied input.id against the API route’s [\w-]+ format and
reject invalid values, including whitespace-only or slash-containing IDs;
continue generating an ID when none is supplied. Add API coverage for attempted
ID changes and invalid create IDs.

In `@src/components/SkillsManager.tsx`:
- Line 14: Update the skill form in the component containing the name,
description, and instructions controls to provide persistent accessible labels
for all three fields, using visible label elements or correctly associated
aria-labelledby attributes; keep the existing values, handlers, and placeholders
unchanged.
- Around line 10-12: Update the SkillsManager mutation handlers add, toggle, and
remove to share an in-flight mutation state that disables every mutation control
while any write is pending, preventing overlapping requests. Keep each API write
in its own error handling so write failures retain their current messages, then
run refresh only after success and report refresh failures separately without
treating them as mutation failures or enabling unsafe retries.

Selective skills are worth keeping, but IDs and assignments need hardening. Updates can replace a skill ID, creates accept IDs that cannot be addressed by the route, and bot patches retain unknown and duplicate skill IDs. Please keep existing IDs immutable, validate or generate route-safe create IDs, deduplicate and filter assignments against known skills, serialize UI mutations, add persistent form labels, and cover these API invariants.

Addressed the server-side correctness findings in the latest commit: existing route IDs now remain immutable during updates; supplied create IDs are restricted to the route-safe character set (or generated); source is type-validated; and bot skill assignments are deduplicated and filtered to known skills. Focused skills/API tests passed (15), and typecheck passes. I did not claim the UI mutation/accessibility comments resolved: the one-line component needs a separate careful refactor to add labels and a shared pending state without obscuring its error behavior.

Completed the remaining UI review items: the form now has persistent labels; add/toggle/remove share one in-flight state and disable every mutation control; and refresh failures are reported separately after a successful write. Verified with pnpm typecheck and focused skills/API tests.
