Avatarcore Desktop Acceptance

AvatarCore Desktop Acceptance

Use this skill for AvatarCore workstation launch acceptance, not for generic proxy-only validation.

Workflow

1. Read the target repo AGENTS.md and runtime docs first.
2. Do not treat backend-only proxy startup as desktop success on this workstation.
3. Require an explicit combined frontend-plus-backend launcher. If it does not exist yet, report the lane as undone.
4. Validate desktop acceptance gates:
   • no empty cmd.exe, powershell.exe, or pwsh.exe windows remain open after launch
   • no stale repo-owned AvatarCore windows remain before relaunch
   • the visible frontend and required local backend start together
   • /health exposes a sanitized readiness snapshot the operator can verify
5. When display or frontend readiness is part of the lane, keep launcher behavior, health reporting, and display/runtime docs aligned.
6. If acceptance changes, update launcher docs, startup checks, and nearby repo guidance in the same pass.

Required Evidence

• launcher path used
• stale-window cleanup result
• visible frontend proof
• backend health proof
• explicit note if the repo still lacks a valid combined launcher

Guardrails

• Backend-only dev or proxy launch paths are diagnostics, not workstation acceptance.
• Do not claim app readiness if the visible frontend and local backend are not coupled.
• Keep health output sanitized and operator-readable.
• Keep host-specific display or machine assumptions out of repo-tracked public-shape docs.

Scope Boundary

Use this skill only for AvatarCore desktop-launch acceptance and launcher ownership.

Do not use it for:

1. generic provider-routing changes without launcher impact
2. Unreal content work that does not affect workstation acceptance
3. cross-app meta-harness alignment by itself

Loopback

If this lane is unresolved, blocked, or ambiguous:

1. capture the missing launcher or failing acceptance gate
2. route back through $skill-hub for chain recalculation
3. resume only after the updated chain returns a deterministic workstation-acceptance next step
