Platform Fix Worker

Platform Fix Worker

NOTE: Startup and cleanup are handled by worker-base. This skill defines the WORK PROCEDURE.

When to Use This Skill

Features involving:

• Windows path resolution fixes (MODULE_NOT_FOUND)
• Glob pattern cross-platform compatibility
• WSL/bash script compatibility
• Auto-generated file determinism
• Format/lint compliance
• Missing command files

Work Procedure

1. Read the feature description and identify the Windows-specific failure.

2. Reproduce the failure:

   • Run the exact command that fails on Windows
   • Capture the full error output including stack trace
   • Identify the specific line and file causing the issue

3. For MODULE_NOT_FOUND fixes:

   • Read the failing require/import statement
   • Check if path separators are wrong (forward vs backslash)
   • Check if path.resolve/path.join is used correctly
   • Check for case sensitivity issues
   • Fix using path.resolve() or path.join() with proper cross-platform handling

4. For glob pattern fixes:

   • Node.js --test with glob patterns doesn't expand on Windows PowerShell
   • Use programmatic file discovery (fs.readdirSync + filter) instead of shell glob
   • Or use glob package if available
   • Test that the fix works on both Windows and Unix-like systems

5. For init.sh WSL fixes:

   • Ensure LF line endings (not CRLF)
   • Use #!/usr/bin/env bash shebang
   • Use command -v instead of which for portability
   • Handle pnpm/node path differences between Windows and WSL

6. For auto-generated JSON determinism:

   • Ensure JSON.stringify uses consistent key ordering
   • Use 2-space indentation
   • End file with newline
   • Ensure Prettier config is respected

7. Write tests for the fix, run platform-specific validation, commit.

When to Return to Orchestrator

• Fix requires changes to npm scripts in package.json
• Platform issue is in a third-party dependency
• Fix breaks Unix/Mac compatibility
