Summary

AgentSkillLoader is missing its execute() method, making the entire Agent Skills execution pipeline non-functional — skills can be discovered and activated but never run. Additionally, discovery.py uses a _noop_handler placeholder instead of real dispatch.

Parent Epic: #392

Subtasks

  • Write a @tdd_expected_fail-tagged Behave scenario in features/ that captures the missing execute() behaviour (issue-capture test per bug-fix workflow)
  • Implement execute(params, ctx) method on AgentSkillLoader in src/cleveragents/skills/agent_skills_loader.py per the spec's AgentSkillAdapter contract
  • Implement sandboxed shell execution for bundled scripts within the execute() method
  • Implement tool execution context wrapping (mutation tracking, sandboxing, checkpointing) inside execute()
  • Replace _noop_handler in src/cleveragents/skills/discovery.py with a real dispatch to AgentSkillLoader.execute()
  • Add static type annotations to execute() and verify with nox -e typecheck (Pyright — no # type: ignore permitted)
  • Write Behave unit test scenarios covering: successful execution, execution before activate() guard, sandboxed script execution, and multi-tool-call sequence
  • Write Robot Framework integration test in robot/ verifying end-to-end Agent Skill execution against a real skill folder
  • Update docstrings and any relevant inline documentation for AgentSkillLoader
  • Verify nox -e coverage_report reports ≥ 97% coverage

Definition of Done

  • AgentSkillLoader.execute() is implemented and matches the spec's AgentSkillAdapter contract
  • _noop_handler in discovery.py is replaced with real Agent Skill dispatch
  • All Behave unit test scenarios pass (nox -e unit_tests)
  • Robot Framework integration test passes (nox -e integration_tests)
  • Pyright type checking passes with no suppressions (nox -e typecheck)
  • Linting passes (nox -e lint)
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage ≥ 97%
  • PR is merged and this issue is closed

Starting implementation on branch fix/agent-skill-loader-missing-execute-method.

Plan: 10 subtasks identified, analyzing dependencies for parallel wave dispatch.

Wave analysis:

  • Wave 1 (parallel): Subtask 1 (TDD failing test), Subtask 2 (implement execute()), Subtask 9 (docstrings) — independent starting points
  • Wave 2 (parallel): Subtask 3 (sandboxed shell), Subtask 4 (execution context wrapping), Subtask 5 (replace _noop_handler), Subtask 6 (type annotations) — depend on execute() existing
  • Wave 3 (parallel): Subtask 7 (Behave unit tests), Subtave 8 (Robot Framework integration test) — depend on full implementation
  • Wave 4: Subtask 10 (coverage verification) — final gate

Difficulty assessment: Medium-High → starting at sonnet tier.

Summary of attempted state transition for issue #2125 in cleveragents-core:

  • Current labels: State/Verified, MoSCoW/Should have, Priority/High, Type/Bug
  • Target: State/In Progress

Actions attempted:

  • Preconditions: Not Paused; no Blocked label present.
  • Step 3: Remove old State/* labels: attempted
  • Step 4: Add State/In Progress: attempted
  • Result: Label updates did not persist via API (the Forgejo API wrapper here does not expose label edit endpoints). The issue body has been updated to reflect the transition, but the State label remains as State/Verified.

Current state of issue after operation:

  • Labels: State/Verified, MoSCoW/Should have, Priority/High, Type/Bug
  • Body indicates transition to State/In Progress

Next steps:

  • Please authorize a manual label update to ensure labels reflect the transition, or provide an endpoint to update labels. If you'd like, I can try a direct REST API call to update labels using the underlying Forgejo API.

Proposed final labels after success:

  • State/In Progress
  • Other labels unchanged: MoSCoW/Should have, Priority/High, Type/Bug

Notes:

  • If there are blockers, they should be addressed before moving forward.

  6. Static type annotations — All new code fully typed; nox -e typecheck passes with 0 errors
  7. Behave unit tests — 6 new scenarios covering: TDD capture, execute() guard, successful execution, bundled scripts, SkillContext tracking, deactivate after execute

  9. Docstrings updated — Module docstring, class docstring, and all method docstrings updated to reflect 4-stage lifecycle
  10. nox -e lint — All checks passed
  11. nox -e typecheck — 0 errors, 0 warnings

Test results: 56/56 Behave scenarios pass, Robot Framework integration test PASSED in 25.2s
