The agent and skills exist in the lvt CLI repository for developing lvt itself. They are NOT automatically installed when users run 'lvt new' to create new apps. Updated the Getting Started section to clearly state: - Agent/skills are in lvt repo for lvt development - Not available in projects created with 'lvt new' - Guide is for contributors, not end users This corrects the fundamental misunderstanding in the previous documentation about agent availability. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Fixed jsonschema struct tags to use the correct format expected by the official MCP Go SDK. The SDK expects the tag value to be just the description text, not "description=..." format. Before: Name string `jsonschema:"description=Application name"` After: Name string `jsonschema:"Application name"` This follows the SDK's requirement that tag values must not begin with "WORD=" where WORD is a sequence of non-whitespace characters.

Updated AGENT_USAGE_GUIDE.md to explain that skill invocation cannot be automatically tested since it depends on Claude's autonomous decision-making. Key changes: - Added manual verification section explaining skill activation is autonomous - Clarified that skills are invoked by Claude's model, not deterministically - Updated verification steps to include manual testing approach - Added note about automated tests only validating structure and naming Context: Skills in Claude Code activate based on Claude's interpretation of user requests. There's no way to programmatically force a specific skill to be used, which means skill invocation testing must be done manually by observing Claude's behavior. The agent_skills_validation_test.go file tests: 1. Skill structure (individual directories with SKILL.md) 2. Skill naming (lowercase, numbers, hyphens only) 3. Agent metadata validity 4. Skill count accuracy But it cannot test actual skill invocation since that's controlled by the AI model. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implemented keyword-gated activation and brainstorming capabilities for
LiveTemplate skills to prevent false positives and improve user control.
## Key Changes
### 1. New Brainstorming Skill
- Created `skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md` with progressive questioning
- Phase 1: Core questions (3-5 questions)
- Phase 2: Offer more options
- Phase 3: Detailed configuration (if requested)
- Phase 4: Preview before execution
- Always requires keywords ("lvt"/"livetemplate"/"lt")
### 2. Keyword-Gated Activation (7 skills updated)
Added activation rules to prevent skills from triggering on generic requests:
- `quickstart` - Added activation rules + brainstorming recommendation
- `new-app` - Added activation rules
- `add-resource` - Added activation rules
- `gen-auth` - Added activation rules
- `add-migration` - Added activation rules
- `add-related-resources` - Added activation rules + AskUserQuestion pattern
### 3. Context Detection Logic
Skills activate when LiveTemplate context is established by:
1. **Project context** - `.lvtrc` file exists
2. **Agent context** - Using `lvt-assistant` agent
3. **Keyword context** - User mentions "lvt"/"livetemplate"/"lt"
Priority: Project > Agent > Keyword
### 4. Agent Context Declaration
Updated `lvt-assistant` agent to explicitly declare LiveTemplate context:
- Added context:livetemplate frontmatter
- Added prominent context declaration section
- Explains users don't need keywords when using agent
### 5. User Control Improvements
- `add-related-resources` now uses `AskUserQuestion` for resource selection
- Users explicitly choose which resources to add (no auto-add)
- Multi-select checkboxes for better UX
## Benefits
✅ Prevents false positives (e.g., "create a blog" won't trigger without context)
✅ Context persists after first mention (no need to repeat keywords)
✅ Works seamlessly with lvt-assistant agent
✅ Progressive disclosure in brainstorming (start simple, offer more options)
✅ Users have explicit control over what gets generated
## Remaining Work
15 skills still need activation rules added:
- add-skill, add-view, analyze, customize, deploy
- gen-schema, manage-env, manage-kits, production-ready
- resource-inspect, run-and-test, seed-data, suggest
- troubleshoot, validate-templates
Tests for keyword gating and context detection still need to be created.

Enhanced Claude Code agent to automatically trigger brainstorming workflow
when users request to create new LiveTemplate applications.
**Problem**: When users say "create a lvt blog app" in plan mode, Claude Code
would jump straight to implementation without gathering requirements first.
**Solution**:
1. **Added Instructions to settings.json**:
- Clear patterns for when brainstorming is required (new apps)
- Examples of creation requests that trigger brainstorming
- Explicit instruction to use Skill("lvt-brainstorm") first
- Guidance on when NOT to brainstorm (feature additions)
2. **Updated lvt-assistant Agent**:
- Added "Brainstorming Policy" section in Philosophy
- Updated example conversation to show brainstorm-first approach
- Clarified distinction between NEW apps (need brainstorming) vs
EXISTING apps (direct skill invocation)
**Impact**:
When Claude Code encounters requests like:
- "create a blog app"
- "build a todo application"
- "make an e-commerce site"
It will now:
1. Recognize this as a new app creation request
2. Invoke the lvt-brainstorm skill automatically
3. Guide user through progressive questions
4. Only generate code after requirements are gathered
**Benefits**:
- Better user experience with guided workflows
- Ensures proper requirements gathering before implementation
- Reduces back-and-forth from missing requirements
- Aligns with TDD and plan-before-code best practices

Modified new-app skill to defer to brainstorming when requirements are vague. **Problem**: Even with brainstorming instructions in settings.json, Claude Code would still match the new-app skill first when users say "create a blog app" because the skill detection system picks the first matching skill. **Root Cause**: Skills are content-based documents that Claude reads after being selected. The settings.json instructions tell Claude what to do, but they can't prevent skill selection from happening first. **Solution**: Add explicit guidance AT THE TOP of the new-app skill itself that instructs Claude to check if brainstorming is needed before proceeding. **Changes**: Added "⚠️ IMPORTANT: Check for Brainstorming First" section that: - Defines when to use lvt-brainstorm instead (vague requirements, new projects) - Shows explicit Skill("lvt-brainstorm") invocation - Explains when new-app can be used directly (detailed requirements, post-brainstorm) - Provides clear examples with ✅/❌ markers **Impact**: When Claude Code loads the new-app skill for "create a blog app", it will now: 1. Read the warning section at the top 2. Recognize the request is vague (no specific resources) 3. STOP and invoke lvt-brainstorm skill instead 4. Only proceed with new-app after brainstorming completes **Why This Works**: Skills are sequential documents that Claude reads from top to bottom. By placing the brainstorming check BEFORE the activation rules, Claude sees it immediately and can redirect before executing the new-app workflow. This is a defense-in-depth approach: - settings.json instructions (general guidance) - new-app skill check (specific interception at execution time) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Updated brainstorm skill to match creation requests, not just planning requests.
**Problem**: Brainstorm skill only matched planning keywords ("plan", "design",
"brainstorm") but not creation keywords ("create", "build", "make"). When users
said "create a lvt blog app", the new-app skill matched first.
**Root Cause**: The brainstorm skill's keywords and description didn't include
creation verbs, so Claude Code's skill matching algorithm never considered it
for creation requests.
**Solution**: Expand brainstorm skill's matching scope to include creation
patterns when requirements are vague (domain mentioned without resources).
**Changes**:
1. **Updated frontmatter keywords**: Added "create", "build", "make"
2. **Enhanced description**: Now explicitly mentions creation patterns:
"Use for 'create/build/make a [lvt/livetemplate] [domain] app'"
3. **Added creation pattern examples**:
- ✅ "create a lvt blog app"
- ✅ "build a livetemplate shop"
- ✅ "make an lvt CRM"
4. **Distinguished from detailed requests**:
- ❌ "create blog with posts(title,content)" → skip to new-app
**How Skill Matching Works**:
Claude Code matches skills based on:
1. **description** field (main matching signal)
2. **keywords** array (secondary signals)
3. **requires_keywords** flag (gating mechanism)
By adding creation verbs to both description and keywords, the brainstorm
skill now competes with new-app for creation requests.
**Expected Behavior**:
When user says "create a lvt blog app":
1. Both brainstorm and new-app skills match (both have "create" + "lvt")
2. Claude Code picks best match based on description relevance
3. Brainstorm should win because description explicitly mentions this pattern
4. User gets progressive questions before code generation

Added app name as first question and ensured apps are created in CWD. **Issues**: 1. App name was inferred from domain instead of asking user 2. Apps were being created in /tmp/worktrees instead of current directory **Changes**: 1. **Added Question 1: App Name** - Asks user for app name explicitly - Explains requirements (lowercase, no spaces, etc.) - Provides examples: `myblog`, `todo-app`, `my-shop` - Clarifies it will be directory name and Go module name 2. **Updated Question Sequence** - Question 1: App Name (NEW) - Question 2: App Domain (was Q1) - Question 3: Primary Resource (was Q2) - Question 4: Related Resources (was Q3) - Question 5: Test Data (was Q4) 3. **Fixed Creation Location** - Added explicit instruction: "Create the app in the current working directory (CWD)" - Added warning: "NOT in /tmp or a git worktree" - New applications should be created directly where user is working 4. **Updated Summary Phase** - Now shows app name in Phase 2 summary - Helps user confirm the name before proceeding **Why Worktree Was Used**: The user's global CLAUDE.md has: "a plan must always have a progress tracker and the work should be implemented in a new git worktree". This applies to FEATURE work in existing projects, not NEW application creation. The explicit instruction in the skill now overrides this for new apps. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Renamed skill to be more specific and avoid matching with superpowers brainstorming. **Problem**: When user says "create a lvt blog app", the generic superpowers brainstorming skill was matching instead of our lvt-specific skill because: 1. Superpowers has broader trigger patterns 2. Both skills have "brainstorm" in the name 3. Claude Code picks first matching skill **Solution**: Make our skill more specific to LiveTemplate app creation **Changes**: 1. **Renamed skill**: lvt-brainstorm → lvt-app-brainstorm - More specific name helps with matching - Clearly indicates it's for app creation, not generic brainstorming 2. **Refined description**: - OLD: "Interactive planning and app creation..." - NEW: "Create LiveTemplate applications - ... ONLY use for..." - Starts with action verb "Create" to match user intent - Emphasizes ONLY for LiveTemplate/lvt 3. **Added app-specific keywords**: - Added "app", "application", "new" to keywords - These match user's actual request: "create a lvt **app**" 4. **More explicit matching pattern**: - Description now says: "ONLY use for 'create/build/make a lvt/livetemplate [type] app/application'" - This exact pattern matches user's request better **Why This Works**: Claude Code skill matching uses description as primary signal. By: - Starting description with "Create LiveTemplate applications" - Adding "app"/"application" keywords - Making it ONLY for lvt (not generic) The skill becomes more specific than superpowers:brainstorming for this request. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Renamed skill from lvt-app-brainstorm to lvt-plan to completely avoid
conflict with superpowers:brainstorming skill.
**Problem**: Even with name "lvt-app-brainstorm", there was still potential
for conflict with the superpowers:brainstorming skill which has very broad
matching patterns.
**Solution**: Use completely different name "lvt-plan" that:
- Describes what it does (planning app structure)
- Doesn't overlap with "brainstorm" keyword at all
- Is clearer and more concise
**Changes**:
1. **Skill renamed**: lvt-app-brainstorm → lvt-plan
- Frontmatter: name, description updated
- Added "plan" to keywords
- Version bumped to 1.1.0
2. **Updated all references**:
- skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md internal references
- skills/new-app/SKILL.md references (lvt-brainstorm → lvt-plan)
- settings.json instructions (brainstorm → lvt-plan)
3. **Description refined**:
- "Plan and create LiveTemplate applications"
- Emphasizes it's an "Interactive workflow"
- Clear that it asks "progressive questions about app name, resources, auth, styling"
**Benefits**:
- Zero overlap with superpowers:brainstorming
- Clearer name for what it does (planning, not brainstorming)
- Better matches user mental model ("plan my app" vs "brainstorm")

- Update TestAuthCommand_Integration to not expect password.go file - Fix agent doc validation tests to use correct `lvt gen resource` syntax - Add time delays between migration generation to avoid timestamp conflicts - Remove users table assertions (created via create_auth_tables migration) - Update auth file expectations for new template structure (auth.tmpl instead of login/signup.tmpl) These changes align tests with the current behavior where password auth is temporarily disabled in favor of magic-link authentication. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Pull Request Review: Auth Templates & lvt-plan Skill ImprovementsSummaryThis is a comprehensive and well-executed PR that addresses critical authentication API compatibility issues and significantly improves the user experience for planning LiveTemplate applications. The changes are well-tested, properly documented, and follow the project's conventions. ✅ Strengths1. Auth Template Migration (Critical Fix)
2. Testing Infrastructure
3. MCP Server Implementation

🔍 Issues FoundSecurity Considerations1. Auth Handler Template - Session Management (Medium Priority)// internal/kits/system/multi/templates/auth/handler.go.tmpl:99-100
httpWriter http.ResponseWriter `json:"-"`
httpRequest *http.Request `json:"-"`Concern: Storing HTTP writer/request in state struct could lead to state leakage if state is cached or reused across requests. Recommendation:
2. Password Auth Disabled - Migration Risk (Low Priority)// commands/auth.go:68-75
if !flags.NoPassword {
fmt.Println("⚠️ WARNING: Password authentication is temporarily disabled...")
flags.NoPassword = true
}Concern: Users upgrading from earlier versions might expect password auth to work. Recommendation:
Potential Bugs3. MCP Server - Module Name Defaulting (Low Priority)// commands/mcp_server.go:117-120
module := input.Module
if module == "" {
module = input.Name
}Issue: Using app name as module name doesn't create a valid Go module path for real projects. Recommendation:

The skill directory naming convention is that frontmatter uses `lvt-{name}`
while the directory is just `{name}`. The test TestClaudeAgent_SkillInvocationSyntax
validates this by checking that frontmatter name = "lvt-" + directory name.

Pull Request Review: lvt CLI Auth Templates and Planning WorkflowOverviewThis PR makes significant improvements to the Recommendation: ✅ Approve with minor suggestions 🎯 Strengths1. Pragmatic API Compatibility SolutionThe auth template rewrite to use LiveTemplate v0.4.x Store/ActionContext API is excellent:
// commands/auth.go:68-75
if !flags.NoPassword {
fmt.Println("⚠️ WARNING: Password authentication is temporarily disabled...")
fmt.Println(" Use magic-link authentication instead...")
flags.NoPassword = true
}2. Well-Architected Auth TemplateThe rewritten
3. Excellent Planning Skill ImprovementsThe
4. Comprehensive TestingStrong test coverage across the board:
5. Excellent DocumentationImpressive documentation additions:
🔍 Code Quality AssessmentArchitecture & Design: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Security: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Auth template security highlights: // handler.go.tmpl:260-268
http.SetCookie(s.httpWriter, &http.Cookie{
Name: "{{.TableName}}_token",
Value: token,
Path: "/",
MaxAge: 30 * 24 * 60 * 60,
HttpOnly: true, // ✅ Prevents XSS
Secure: true, // ✅ HTTPS only
SameSite: http.SameSiteStrictMode, // ✅ CSRF protection
})
Error Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐Good error handling throughout:
Code Organization: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Excellent organization: 📝 Observations & Minor Suggestions1. Auth Template: Error HandlingLocation: func (s *{{.StructName}}State) handleRegister(ctx *livetemplate.ActionContext) error {
var input RegisterInput
if err := ctx.BindAndValidate(&input, validate); err != nil {
s.Error = "Email and password are required"
return nil // ⚠️ Returns nil even on validation error
}Observation: The template returns Suggestion: Add a comment explaining this pattern: // Return nil to show error in template rather than 500 error page
return nil2. Magic Link Token SecurityLocation: // Generate magic link token
token, err := s.generateToken(user.ID, "magic", 15*time.Minute)Observation: 15-minute expiration is good. Consider making it configurable. Suggestion: Add to auth config: type AuthConfig struct {
MagicLinkExpiry time.Duration // Default: 15 minutes
}3. Password Reset Form HTMLLocation: The inline HTML form for password reset is a quick solution but inconsistent with the rest of the template-based approach. Suggestion: Consider creating a separate template file: This would maintain consistency with the LiveTemplate approach. 4. Planning Skill: Keyword MatchingLocation: The keyword requirement is good, but the documentation could be clearer about edge cases. Question: Does "create a blog app with lvt" match if "lvt" appears later in the sentence? Suggestion: Add examples of edge cases: ✅ "using lvt, create a blog"
❌ "create a blog" (mentioned lvt earlier in conversation)5. Test Coverage GapObservation: I notice comprehensive unit tests for the install_agent functionality, but I don't see specific tests for the auth template changes in the PR. Suggestion: Consider adding tests for:
Example test: func TestAuthPasswordDisabledByDefault(t *testing.T) {
// Test that --no-password is auto-set
}🐛 Potential Issues1. Minor: Pluralization Edge CaseLocation: func pluralizeNoun(word string) string {
// ...
if strings.HasSuffix(lower, "y") && len(lower) > 1 {
secondLast := lower[len(lower)-2]
if !isVowel(secondLast) {
return lower[:len(lower)-1] + "ies"
}
}Issue: "day" → "daies" instead of "days" (vowel before y) Fix: The logic looks correct actually. "day" has 'a' (vowel) before 'y', so it won't apply the 'ies' rule. ✅ 2. Security: Session Token RotationLocation: Observation: Sessions don't appear to have rotation/refresh logic. Long-lived 30-day tokens could be a security concern. Suggestion: Consider implementing:
Priority: Low (acceptable for v0.4.x, enhance in v0.5+) 🚀 Performance ConsiderationsDatabase QueriesObservation: Auth operations are well-optimized:
Token GenerationLocation: func (s *{{.StructName}}State) generateToken(userID, context string, duration time.Duration) (string, error) {
b := make([]byte, 32)
if _, err := rand.Read(b); err != nil {
return "", err
}
token := base64.URLEncoding.EncodeToString(b)Performance: ✅ Excellent - 32 bytes from crypto/rand is appropriate 🔒 Security Review Summary
