Dagger@Dagger

QA CLI and TUI applications with asciinema recordings, timestamped terminal snapshots, and hang/timing analysis. Use when validating terminal output, progress behavior, delays, or what a user would see at a given moment.

Drive any dagger command's live pretty TUI headlessly over HTTP via DAGGER_TUI_CONSOLE — GET the screen, POST keystrokes, navigate spans/checks/tests, zoom to a span — to explore or reproduce TUI rendering interactively without a pty. Use when investigating how a run or trace renders, reproducing a rendering bug, or operating the idtui frontend by hand.

Handle quick, repeatable Dagger repository maintenance chores. Use when the user asks for small operational changes and wants the same established edits and commit style applied quickly.

Add or change a Dagger module pragma/directive/decorator — the `@check`, `@generate`, `@up`, `@agent`, `@defaultPath`, `@ignorePatterns` family that authors write as `// +check` (Go), `@check()` (TypeScript), `@check` (Python), or `@check` (Dang). Use when adding a new marker, wiring an existing one into another SDK, or debugging why a marker set in module source doesn't reach the engine.

Run Dagger repo tests and debug Dagger engine, core, dagql, filesync, cache, CI trace, panic, hang, leak, and performance issues. Use whenever an agent needs to run tests, choose a test command, or interpret test output in this repository, even before a failure is diagnosed; also use for engine-dev tests, Dagger Cloud trace replay, debug endpoints or pprof, goroutine dumps, panics, hangs, leaks, performance issues, and /debug/dagql/cache snapshots.

Capture and inspect the raw OTel telemetry (spans, logs, metrics) a dagger CLI invocation emits, using the hack/otlpdump tool. Use when debugging telemetry emission, verifying spans/log records/attributes reach the exporter, checking streaming progress records (dagger.io/progress.*), or diagnosing why something doesn't render in the TUI or Dagger Cloud. Triggers on: capture telemetry, OTLP, otlpdump, debug spans, debug telemetry, progress records, telemetry not showing up.

Write design proposals for Dagger features. Use when asked to draft, review, or iterate on Dagger design documents, RFCs, or proposals.
