feat: Enhanced LOCAL enhancement modes with background/daemon/force options
BREAKING CHANGE: None (backward compatible - headless mode remains default) Adds 4 execution modes for LOCAL enhancement to support different use cases: from foreground execution to fully detached daemon processes. New Features: ------------ - **4 Execution Modes**: - Headless (default): Runs in foreground, waits for completion - Background (--background): Runs in background thread, returns immediately - Daemon (--daemon): Fully detached process with nohup, survives parent exit - Terminal (--interactive-enhancement): Opens new terminal window (existing) - **Force Mode (--force/-f)**: Skip all confirmations for automation - "Dangerously skip mode" requested by user - Perfect for CI/CD pipelines and unattended execution - Works with all modes: headless, background, daemon - **Status Monitoring**: - New `enhance-status` command for background/daemon processes - Real-time watch mode (--watch) - JSON output for scripting (--json) - Status file: .enhancement_status.json (status, progress, PID, errors) - **Daemon Features**: - Fully detached process using nohup - Survives parent process exit, logout, SSH disconnection - Logging to .enhancement_daemon.log - PID tracking in status file Implementation Details: ----------------------- - Status file format: JSON with status, message, progress (0.0-1.0), timestamp, PID, errors - Background mode: Python threading with daemon threads - Daemon mode: subprocess.Popen with nohup and start_new_session=True - Exit codes: 0 = success, 1 = failed, 2 = no status found CLI Integration: ---------------- - skill-seekers enhance output/react/ (headless - default) - skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --background (background thread) - skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --daemon (detached process) - skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --force (skip confirmations) - skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ (check status) - skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --watch (real-time) Files Changed: -------------- - src/skill_seekers/cli/enhance_skill_local.py (+500 lines) - Added background mode with threading - Added daemon mode with nohup - Added force mode support - Added status file management (write_status, read_status) - src/skill_seekers/cli/enhance_status.py (NEW, 200 lines) - Status checking command - Watch mode with real-time updates - JSON output for scripting - Exit codes based on status - src/skill_seekers/cli/main.py - Added enhance-status subcommand - Added --background, --daemon, --force flags to enhance command - Added argument forwarding - pyproject.toml - Added enhance-status entry point - docs/ENHANCEMENT_MODES.md (NEW, 600 lines) - Complete guide to all 4 modes - Usage examples for each mode - Status file format documentation - Advanced workflows (batch processing, CI/CD) - Comparison table - Troubleshooting guide - CHANGELOG.md - Documented all new features under [Unreleased] Use Cases: ---------- 1. CI/CD Pipelines: --force for unattended execution 2. Long-running tasks: --daemon for tasks that survive logout 3. Parallel processing: --background for batch enhancement 4. Debugging: --interactive-enhancement to watch Claude Code work Testing Recommendations: ------------------------ - Test headless mode (default behavior, should be unchanged) - Test background mode (returns immediately, check status file) - Test daemon mode (survives parent exit, check logs) - Test force mode (no confirmations) - Test enhance-status command (check, watch, json modes) - Test timeout handling in all modes Addresses User Request: ----------------------- User asked for "dangeressly skipp mode that didint ask anything" and "headless instance maybe background task" alternatives. This delivers: - Force mode (--force): No confirmations - Background mode: Returns immediately, runs in background - Daemon mode: Fully detached, survives logout 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Enhancement Modes Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Complete guide to all LOCAL enhancement modes in Skill Seekers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Skill Seekers supports **4 enhancement modes** for different use cases:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Headless** (default) - Runs in foreground, waits for completion
|
||||
2. **Background** - Runs in background thread, returns immediately
|
||||
3. **Daemon** - Fully detached process, continues after parent exits
|
||||
4. **Terminal** - Opens new terminal window (interactive)
|
||||
|
||||
## Mode Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | Headless | Background | Daemon | Terminal |
|
||||
|---------|----------|------------|--------|----------|
|
||||
| **Blocks** | Yes (waits) | No (returns) | No (returns) | No (separate window) |
|
||||
| **Survives parent exit** | No | No | **Yes** | Yes |
|
||||
| **Progress monitoring** | Direct output | Status file | Status file + logs | Visual in terminal |
|
||||
| **Force mode** | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
|
||||
| **Best for** | CI/CD | Scripts | Long tasks | Manual work |
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Headless Mode (Default)
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**: CI/CD pipelines, automation scripts, when you want to wait for completion
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Basic usage - waits until done
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/
|
||||
|
||||
# With custom timeout
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --timeout 1200
|
||||
|
||||
# Force mode - no confirmations
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --force
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**:
|
||||
- Runs `claude` CLI directly
|
||||
- **BLOCKS** until enhancement completes
|
||||
- Shows progress output
|
||||
- Returns exit code: 0 = success, 1 = failure
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Background Mode
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**: When you want to continue working while enhancement runs
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start enhancement in background
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --background
|
||||
|
||||
# Returns immediately with status file created
|
||||
# ✅ Background enhancement started!
|
||||
# 📊 Status file: output/react/.enhancement_status.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**:
|
||||
- Starts background thread
|
||||
- Returns immediately
|
||||
- Creates `.enhancement_status.json` for monitoring
|
||||
- Thread continues even if you close terminal
|
||||
|
||||
**Monitor progress**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check status once
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/
|
||||
|
||||
# Watch in real-time
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --watch
|
||||
|
||||
# JSON output (for scripts)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Daemon Mode
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**: Long-running tasks that must survive parent process exit
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start as daemon (fully detached)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --daemon
|
||||
|
||||
# Process continues even if you:
|
||||
# - Close the terminal
|
||||
# - Logout
|
||||
# - SSH session ends
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**:
|
||||
- Creates fully detached process using `nohup`
|
||||
- Writes to `.enhancement_daemon.log`
|
||||
- Creates status file with PID
|
||||
- **Survives parent process exit**
|
||||
|
||||
**Monitor daemon**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check status
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/
|
||||
|
||||
# View logs
|
||||
tail -f output/react/.enhancement_daemon.log
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if process is running
|
||||
cat output/react/.enhancement_status.json
|
||||
# Look for "pid" field
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Terminal Mode (Interactive)
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**: When you want to see Claude Code in action
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Open in new terminal window
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --interactive-enhancement
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**:
|
||||
- Opens new terminal window (macOS)
|
||||
- Runs Claude Code visually
|
||||
- Terminal auto-closes when done
|
||||
- Useful for debugging
|
||||
|
||||
## Force Mode (Dangerously Skip)
|
||||
|
||||
**What it does**: Skips ALL confirmations, auto-answers "yes" to everything
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Headless with force
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --force
|
||||
|
||||
# Background with force (silent processing)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --background --force
|
||||
|
||||
# Daemon with force (silent + detached)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --daemon --force
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use cases**:
|
||||
- ✅ CI/CD automation
|
||||
- ✅ Batch processing multiple skills
|
||||
- ✅ Unattended execution
|
||||
- ⚠️ **WARNING**: Only use if you trust the input!
|
||||
|
||||
## Status File Format
|
||||
|
||||
When using `--background` or `--daemon`, a status file is created:
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `{skill_directory}/.enhancement_status.json`
|
||||
|
||||
**Format**:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"status": "running",
|
||||
"message": "Running Claude Code enhancement...",
|
||||
"progress": 0.5,
|
||||
"timestamp": "2026-01-03T12:34:56.789012",
|
||||
"skill_dir": "/path/to/output/react",
|
||||
"error": null,
|
||||
"pid": 12345
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Status values**:
|
||||
- `pending` - Task queued, not started yet
|
||||
- `running` - Currently executing
|
||||
- `completed` - Finished successfully
|
||||
- `failed` - Error occurred (see `error` field)
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring Background Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
### Check Status Command
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# One-time check
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/
|
||||
|
||||
# Output:
|
||||
# ============================================================
|
||||
# ENHANCEMENT STATUS: RUNNING
|
||||
# ============================================================
|
||||
#
|
||||
# 🔄 Status: RUNNING
|
||||
# Message: Running Claude Code enhancement...
|
||||
# Progress: [██████████░░░░░░░░░░] 50%
|
||||
# PID: 12345
|
||||
# Timestamp: 2026-01-03T12:34:56.789012
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Watch Mode (Real-time)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Watch status updates every 2 seconds
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --watch
|
||||
|
||||
# Custom interval
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --watch --interval 5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### JSON Output (For Scripts)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Get raw JSON
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --json
|
||||
|
||||
# Use in scripts
|
||||
STATUS=$(skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --json | jq -r '.status')
|
||||
if [ "$STATUS" = "completed" ]; then
|
||||
echo "Enhancement complete!"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Workflows
|
||||
|
||||
### Batch Enhancement (Multiple Skills)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# Enhance multiple skills in parallel
|
||||
|
||||
skills=("react" "vue" "django" "fastapi")
|
||||
|
||||
for skill in "${skills[@]}"; do
|
||||
echo "Starting enhancement: $skill"
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/$skill/ --background --force
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
echo "All enhancements started in background!"
|
||||
|
||||
# Monitor all
|
||||
for skill in "${skills[@]}"; do
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/$skill/
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CI/CD Integration
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# GitHub Actions example
|
||||
- name: Enhance skill
|
||||
run: |
|
||||
# Headless mode with force (blocks until done)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --force --timeout 1200
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if enhancement succeeded
|
||||
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
|
||||
echo "✅ Enhancement successful"
|
||||
else
|
||||
echo "❌ Enhancement failed"
|
||||
exit 1
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Long-running Daemon
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start daemon for large skill
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/godot-large/ --daemon --timeout 3600
|
||||
|
||||
# Logout and come back later
|
||||
# ... (hours later) ...
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if it completed
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/godot-large/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Timeout Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Default timeout: **600 seconds (10 minutes)**
|
||||
|
||||
**Adjust based on skill size**:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Small skills (< 100 pages)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/hono/ --timeout 300
|
||||
|
||||
# Medium skills (100-1000 pages)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --timeout 600
|
||||
|
||||
# Large skills (1000+ pages)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/godot/ --timeout 1200
|
||||
|
||||
# Extra large (with PDF/GitHub sources)
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/django-unified/ --timeout 1800
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What happens on timeout**:
|
||||
- Headless: Returns error immediately
|
||||
- Background: Status marked as `failed` with timeout error
|
||||
- Daemon: Same as background
|
||||
- Terminal: Claude Code keeps running (user can see it)
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Status Check Exit Codes
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/
|
||||
echo $?
|
||||
|
||||
# Exit codes:
|
||||
# 0 = completed successfully
|
||||
# 1 = failed (error occurred)
|
||||
# 2 = no status file found (not started or cleaned up)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Errors
|
||||
|
||||
**"claude command not found"**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install Claude Code CLI
|
||||
# See: https://docs.claude.com/claude-code
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**"Enhancement timed out"**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Increase timeout
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --timeout 1200
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**"SKILL.md was not updated"**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if references exist
|
||||
ls output/react/references/
|
||||
|
||||
# Try terminal mode to see what's happening
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --interactive-enhancement
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## File Artifacts
|
||||
|
||||
Enhancement creates these files:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
output/react/
|
||||
├── SKILL.md # Enhanced file
|
||||
├── SKILL.md.backup # Original backup
|
||||
├── .enhancement_status.json # Status (background/daemon only)
|
||||
├── .enhancement_daemon.log # Logs (daemon only)
|
||||
└── .enhancement_daemon.py # Daemon script (daemon only)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Cleanup**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Remove status files after completion
|
||||
rm output/react/.enhancement_status.json
|
||||
rm output/react/.enhancement_daemon.log
|
||||
rm output/react/.enhancement_daemon.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison with API Mode
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | LOCAL Mode | API Mode |
|
||||
|---------|-----------|----------|
|
||||
| **API Key** | Not needed | Required (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) |
|
||||
| **Cost** | Free (uses Claude Code Max) | ~$0.15-$0.30 per skill |
|
||||
| **Speed** | 30-60 seconds | 20-40 seconds |
|
||||
| **Quality** | 9/10 | 9/10 (same) |
|
||||
| **Modes** | 4 modes | 1 mode only |
|
||||
| **Automation** | ✅ Full support | ✅ Full support |
|
||||
| **Best for** | Personal use, small teams | CI/CD, high volume |
|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use headless by default** - Simple and reliable
|
||||
2. **Use background for scripts** - When you need to do other work
|
||||
3. **Use daemon for large tasks** - When task might take hours
|
||||
4. **Use force in CI/CD** - Avoid hanging on confirmations
|
||||
5. **Always set timeout** - Prevent infinite waits
|
||||
6. **Monitor background tasks** - Use enhance-status to check progress
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Background task not progressing
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check status
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --json
|
||||
|
||||
# If stuck, check process
|
||||
ps aux | grep claude
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill if needed
|
||||
kill -9 <PID>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Daemon not starting
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check logs
|
||||
cat output/react/.enhancement_daemon.log
|
||||
|
||||
# Check status file
|
||||
cat output/react/.enhancement_status.json
|
||||
|
||||
# Try without force mode
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance output/react/ --daemon
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Status file shows error
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Read error details
|
||||
skill-seekers enhance-status output/react/ --json | jq -r '.error'
|
||||
|
||||
# Common fixes:
|
||||
# 1. Increase timeout
|
||||
# 2. Check references exist
|
||||
# 3. Try terminal mode to debug
|
||||
```
