Update Waystone Inventory Skill

When to Activate

Activate this skill when:

• Adding new <Waystone> components to any Grove package
• Removing waystones from pages
• The waystone-inventory CI check fails
• You want to verify the inventory matches actual codebase usage
• After merging PRs that add/remove waystones

Files Involved

Inventory Structure

The inventory tracks waystones by slug, with each slug containing its instances:

{
  "waystones": {
    "total": 15,
    "breakdown": {
      "engine": 15,
      "login": 0,
      "landing": 0
    },
    "bySlugs": 10
  },
  "slugs": [
    {
      "slug": "what-is-rings",
      "usageCount": 2,
      "instances": [
        {
          "file": "packages/engine/src/routes/arbor/analytics/+page.svelte",
          "label": "Learn about Rings",
          "placement": "page-header",
          "size": "sm"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Placement Types

When adding instances, use the appropriate placement type:

Step-by-Step Process

1. Find All Waystone Usages

# Search for <Waystone in all Svelte files across ALL packages
rg '<Waystone' --type svelte -l

# Get slug and label details
rg '<Waystone' --type svelte -A 3

2. Compare with Inventory

# Read current inventory
cat .github/waystone-inventory.json | jq '.waystones.total'

# Count actual usages
rg '<Waystone' --type svelte | wc -l

3. Identify Discrepancies

Look for:

• New waystones: <Waystone> tags in code but not in inventory
• Removed waystones: Instances in inventory whose files no longer contain the waystone
• Changed metadata: Slug, label, or placement changed

4. Update Inventory JSON

Edit .github/waystone-inventory.json:

1. Update counts:

   jsonCopy

   "waystones": {
     "total": <new total instances>,
     "breakdown": {
       "engine": <count in engine>,
       "login": <count in login>,
       ...
     },
     "bySlugs": <number of distinct slugs>
   }
   

2. Add/update slug entries — add new slugs to the slugs array, or add instances to existing slugs

3. Update metadata:

   jsonCopy

   "lastUpdated": "YYYY-MM-DD",
   "lastAuditedBy": "claude/<context>"
   

5. Commit Changes

gw git commit --write -m "docs: update waystone inventory

- Add <slug> waystone to <package>
- Update total: X -> Y
- Update package breakdown"

Quick Reference Commands

# Count all waystone instances across all packages
rg '<Waystone' packages/ --type svelte | wc -l

# List all unique slugs in use
rg 'slug="([^"]+)"' packages/ --type svelte -o -r '$1' | sort -u

# Count instances per package
for pkg in engine login landing plant meadow; do
  count=$(rg '<Waystone' "packages/$pkg" --type svelte 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
  echo "$pkg: $count"
done

# Find waystones with specific placement patterns
rg '<Waystone' packages/ --type svelte -B 2 -A 2

Adding a New Waystone (Full Checklist)

When adding a new waystone:

• Add <Waystone> component to the target file with appropriate slug, label, and size
• Ensure the file imports Waystone (from $lib/ui in engine, or @autumnsgrove/groveengine/ui in other packages)
• Add the instance to .github/waystone-inventory.json
• If it's a new slug, add a new entry to the slugs array
• If the slug already exists, add an instance to the existing entry
• Update waystones.total count
• Update waystones.breakdown.<package> count
• Update waystones.bySlugs if a new slug was added
• Update lastUpdated and lastAuditedBy
• Verify the KB article exists (or note it needs to be created)

CI Integration

The .github/workflows/waystone-inventory.yml workflow:

• Runs on PRs touching **/*.svelte files
• Counts <Waystone occurrences across all packages
• Compares to inventory total
• Comments on PRs when there's a mismatch
• Creates issues for drift on scheduled runs (Thursdays)

When CI fails, run this skill to fix the mismatch.

Checklist

Before finishing:

• All <Waystone> instances in code have entries in inventory
• All inventory instances still exist in code
• total equals sum of all breakdown values
• bySlugs equals the length of the slugs array
• Each slug's usageCount matches its instances array length
• lastUpdated date is today
• Changes committed with descriptive message
