SimReady Update Capability

Purpose

Use this skill to maintain an existing capability folder. This includes adding requirement entries, clarifying the capability overview, reorganizing requirement docs, and keeping validators and imports aligned.

Use simready-foundation-add-capability when the capability folder does not exist.

Prerequisites

Before editing, read:

• AGENTS.md
• nv_core/sr_specs/docs/guides/naming_conventions.md
• target capability-*.md
• target requirements.md
• target requirements/*.md
• target validation.py
• feature manifests that reference requirements in this capability

Instructions

Use this checklist when changing the repository:

1. Confirm the capability folder and overview/index files exist.
2. Classify the change as documentation-only, requirement-index, validator, or contract-impacting.
3. Update capability-<slug>.md when scope, requirement list, related docs, or validation status changes.
4. Update requirements.md to include every requirement doc exactly once.
5. Add or move requirement docs with simready-foundation-add-requirement or simready-foundation-update-requirement guidance.
6. Update validation.py and capabilities/__init__.py only when executable validators or imports change.
7. If requirement semantics changed, hand off to feature/profile update skills.
8. Validate consistency:
   • every requirement doc is indexed
   • every indexed requirement file exists
   • validator registrations reference documented requirement IDs
   • features do not reference removed or renamed requirement IDs

Examples

Example request:

Update an existing SimReady Foundation capability to clarify its requirements and validation coverage.

Expected result summary:

changed_files: updated docs, manifests, indexes, validators, or adapters
validation: focused checks for the changed contract
remaining_gaps: downstream feature, profile, adapter, or runtime-test follow-up

Policies

• Avoid broad reorganization unless it removes real confusion.
• Preserve existing requirement codes and links whenever possible.
• Keep capability scope broad enough for related requirements but narrow enough to be meaningful.
• Record validation gaps honestly instead of implying coverage that does not exist.

Limitations

• Do not silently change published contracts; add versions when behavior changes.
• Do not update docs without checking validator, manifest, profile, adapter, and runtime-test impact.
• Do not broaden a change beyond the selected requirement, capability, feature, profile, validator, or adapter.

Troubleshooting

• Error: the requested change alters a published contract. Solution: create a new version and preserve the old artifact.
• Error: docs and machine-readable manifests diverge. Solution: make the JSON/TOML and markdown agree, then rerun focused checks.
• Error: downstream profile or adapter impact is unclear. Solution: list the affected artifacts before making broad edits.

Resources

• assets/openai.yaml preserves optional UI metadata for clients that read skill display hints. It is not required for the workflow.
