**Purpose:** Recompile TypeScript source so the next MCP session picks up the changes.

**When to use:**
- After editing any file in `src/`
- After adding or updating dependencies in `package.json`

## Steps

### Before Starting: Create Task List

```
TaskCreate "Verify repository"
TaskCreate "Install dependencies"
TaskCreate "Build TypeScript"
```

Store all returned task IDs.

---

### Step 1: Verify Working Directory

```
TaskUpdate taskId=<verify_id> status="in_progress"
```

```bash
ls package.json src/index.ts 2>/dev/null
```

If missing, stop:
> "Run this skill from the root of the `rundeck_mcp` repository."

```
TaskUpdate taskId=<verify_id> status="completed"
```

---

### Step 2: Install Dependencies

```
TaskUpdate taskId=<install_id> status="in_progress"
```

```bash
npm install
```

If this fails, show the error and stop.

```
TaskUpdate taskId=<install_id> status="completed"
```

---

### Step 3: Build

```
TaskUpdate taskId=<build_id> status="in_progress"
```

```bash
npm run build
```

If the build fails, show the full error output and stop:
> "Build failed — fix the TypeScript errors above and run `/rundeck-mcp-rebuild` again."

```
TaskUpdate taskId=<build_id> status="completed"
```

---

### Report

```
Rebuilt dist/.

Restart your MCP client session (or reconnect the rundeck-mcp server) to pick up the changes — stdio servers are spawned fresh per session, so there's no running process to restart.
