Intelligencex Tools Authoring

Skill: intelligencex-tools-authoring

Use this skill when changing files in IntelligenceX.Tools/**, especially when adding new tools or consolidating helper logic.

Trigger Phrases

• "new tool"
• "tooling refactor"
• "reduce duplication in tools"
• "centralize tool helpers"
• "tool contract cleanup"

Strict Execution Order

1. Identify target package and existing base helpers.
2. Reuse shared helper paths first (ToolBase, ToolQueryHelpers, ToolPipeline, package base helpers).
3. Build typed request binder (ToolRequestBinder + ToolRequestBindingResult<TRequest>).
4. Implement tool/refactor changes with no output contract drift, using ToolResultV2 for output envelopes.
5. Add or update tests for helper behavior and edge cases.
6. Run targeted build/tests for changed tool packages.
7. Summarize reusable pattern changes for future tools.

Commands

• Targeted build:
  • dotnet build IntelligenceX.Tools/IntelligenceX.Tools.ADPlayground/IntelligenceX.Tools.ADPlayground.csproj -c Release
  • dotnet build IntelligenceX.Tools/IntelligenceX.Tools.EventLog/IntelligenceX.Tools.EventLog.csproj -c Release
  • dotnet build IntelligenceX.Tools/IntelligenceX.Tools.System/IntelligenceX.Tools.System.csproj -c Release
• Targeted tests:
  • dotnet test IntelligenceX.Tools/IntelligenceX.Tools.Tests/IntelligenceX.Tools.Tests.csproj -c Release
• Full tool solution gate:
  • dotnet test IntelligenceX.Tools/IntelligenceX.Tools.sln -c Release

Fail-Fast Rules

• Do not add package-specific duplicate helpers when a shared helper exists.
• Do not change error_code/metadata/table view contracts without explicit intent.
• Do not add max_results metadata with direct meta.Add("max_results", ...); use AddMaxResultsMeta(...).
• Keep mass normalization (for example line endings) in a dedicated cleanup PR, not mixed with behavior changes.
• Prefer typed request models over direct arguments?.Get... reads in new/refactored tools.
• Prefer middleware composition over inline precondition blocks when preconditions are reusable.
• For AD tools with required domain_name, use canonical helpers (TryReadRequiredDomainQueryRequest, TryReadPolicyAttributionToolRequest, ExecuteDomainRowsViewTool, ExecutePolicyAttributionTool).
