Agent Deep Links

Overview

Use this skill when a user asks for clickable links that should open directly in an app (usually from Slack). This includes verifying whether a target app supports deep links at all, selecting the right URL shape, and providing fallbacks when deep links are unsupported.

Workflow

Identify target app + target object:
- Thread/conversation
- File/folder
- Settings/new window
Read references/deep-link-matrix.md for known-good link formats and support level.

If support is unknown, verify locally before sending:

Check URL schemes in the app bundle:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c 'Print :CFBundleURLTypes' /Applications/<App>.app/Contents/Info.plist

Smoke test launch behavior:
```
open '<scheme>://...'
```

Construct Slack-safe link syntax:
- <url|label>
If unsupported or uncertain, send a fallback:
- Plain path + command
- Documented CLI open command
- Statement that no official deep-link format is known

Output Rules

Prefer absolute paths for file/folder links.
Keep labels short and action-oriented (Open in Cursor, Open in Codex).
Do not claim deep-link support unless it is in the matrix or just verified.
For uncertain app routes, clearly mark as inferred/experimental.

Common Templates

Codex thread:
- <codex://threads/<thread-uuid>|Open in Codex>
Cursor file:
- <cursor://file/<absolute-path>:<line>:<column>|Open in Cursor>
VS Code file:
- <vscode://file/<absolute-path>:<line>:<column>|Open in VS Code>
VS Code Insiders file:
- <vscode-insiders://file/<absolute-path>:<line>:<column>|Open in VS Code Insiders>

Use references/deep-link-matrix.md for the full cross-app matrix and support notes.
