# /go

> Switch gear. Single source of truth.

## Usage

```
/go                     # all skills — profile tier + installed status
/go list                # same as /go (no args)
/go minimal             # newcomer essentials (7 skills, default)
/go standard            # daily driver (13 skills)
/go full                # all stable (excludes lab-only experiments)
/go lab                 # everything including experimental
/go cleanup             # remove ALL skills → fetch latest → fresh install
/go update              # check for new version + upgrade in-place
/go install team-agents # cherry-pick install specific skills
/go remove watch        # uninstall specific skills
/go find feel           # search all available skills by name
```

> ⚠ NEW (#285): `/go <profile>` now ALIGNS your installed skills to the target profile.
> arra-managed skills NOT in the target profile will be **removed**.
> External / non-arra skills are never touched.
> A pre-removal diff is shown before any deletion occurs.

## CLI Detection

Before running any command, detect the CLI path. It may not be in `$PATH` on all machines.

Two variables, because reading and writing have different safety requirements.

```bash
# $ARRA — READ-ONLY commands (profiles, list, --version). The local binary is fine
# here: it is fast, and a slightly stale profile listing is harmless.
if command -v arra-oracle-skills &>/dev/null; then
  ARRA="arra-oracle-skills"
elif [ -x "$HOME/.bun/bin/arra-oracle-skills" ]; then
  ARRA="$HOME/.bun/bin/arra-oracle-skills"
else
  ARRA="$HOME/.bun/bin/bunx --bun github:Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli#alpha"
fi

# $ARRA_INSTALL — anything that WRITES skills to disk. Always from GitHub.
ARRA_INSTALL="$HOME/.bun/bin/bunx --bun github:Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli#alpha"
```

**Why they differ.** The installed binary carries its own frozen copy of every skill — the
set as of the day you installed it. Installing through it therefore writes *those* skills
over whatever you have now. Once the binary is older than your skills (normal after a few
weeks) every "install" is really a downgrade; a `26.5.15` binary was seen overwriting
`26.7.25` skills. Reading through it costs you nothing, so keep the fast path for reads and
take the network hit only when writing.

Use `$ARRA` for reads and `$ARRA_INSTALL` for installs/updates below.

---

## Execution

Parse the user's `/go` arguments and run the matching `$ARRA` command.

### `/go` or `/go list` — show all skills with profile + installed status + type

Write this script to `/tmp/go-list.sh` and run it with `bash /tmp/go-list.sh`. The script auto-discovers profile membership from the CLI — zero hardcoded skill names.

```bash
#!/bin/bash
SKILLS_DIR="$HOME/.claude/skills"
ARRA="$HOME/.bun/bin/arra-oracle-skills"
VERSION=$($ARRA --version 2>/dev/null || echo "?")

# Auto-get skill lists from CLI (no hardcoding)
get_profile_skills() {
  $ARRA profiles "$1" 2>/dev/null | grep "Skills:" | sed 's/.*Skills: //' | tr ',' '\n' | sed 's/^ *//' | tr '\n' ' '
}

- **Description**: parsed from installed SKILL.md frontmatter, truncated to 40 chars
- **Installed**: checks `$HOME/.claude/skills/<name>/` exists

**`--zombies` flag**: append zombie skills section. Only shown when explicitly requested.

### `/go <profile>` — switch profile

```bash
$ARRA_INSTALL install -g --profile <name> -y
```

Profiles: `minimal`, `standard`, `full`, `lab`

- `/go minimal` → `$ARRA_INSTALL install -g --profile minimal -y`
- `/go standard` → `$ARRA_INSTALL install -g --profile standard -y`
- `/go full` → `$ARRA_INSTALL install -g --profile full -y`
- `/go lab` → `$ARRA_INSTALL install -g --profile lab -y`

> Note: passing `--profile` explicitly triggers alignment — arra-managed skills NOT in the target
> are removed automatically. External skills are never touched.

### `/go cleanup` — fresh install (safe)

Crosscheck installed skills, remove stale arra-managed ones, fetch latest, reinstall. External skills are never touched.

**Step 1: Crosscheck** — list all installed skills, classify by `installer:` field in SKILL.md:

```bash
SKILLS_DIR="$HOME/.claude/skills"
LATEST=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli/tags | grep -m1 '"name"' | cut -d'"' -f4)

echo "📋 Crosscheck (latest: $LATEST):"
ARRA_COUNT=0; EXT_COUNT=0; STALE_COUNT=0; CONFLICT_COUNT=0
for dir in "$SKILLS_DIR"/*/; do
  [ -d "$dir" ] || continue
  name=$(basename "$dir")
  version=$(grep -o 'v[0-9][0-9.]*' "$dir/SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
  installer=$(grep 'installer:' "$dir/SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null | head -1)

  if echo "$installer" | grep -q "arra-oracle"; then
    # Arra-managed skill — check version
    if [ "$version" = "$LATEST" ]; then
      echo "  ✓ arra: $name ($version)"
      ARRA_COUNT=$((ARRA_COUNT + 1))
    else
      echo "  ⚠️ stale: $name ($version → $LATEST)"
      STALE_COUNT=$((STALE_COUNT + 1))
    fi
  else
    echo "  ○ external: $name — will keep"
    EXT_COUNT=$((EXT_COUNT + 1))
  fi
done
echo ""
echo "  Summary: $ARRA_COUNT ok, $STALE_COUNT stale, $EXT_COUNT external"
```

**Step 2: Combined table** — crosscheck + usage in ONE table. Mine session JSONL files, then display everything together:

```bash
# Mine usage data from all sessions
TOTAL=0
for jsonl in ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl; do
  [ -f "$jsonl" ] || continue
  TOTAL=$((TOTAL + 1))
done
```

Build the combined table. For each of the 29 arra skills, show: profile tier, installed status, version, status, and usage count from session mining.

```
📋 Skills Overview (29 arra + N external) — $TOTAL sessions mined:

  External (will keep):
  ○ drink, mawjs, mawjs-local, ultrathink

  💡 Skills with 0 usage might not need to be in your profile.
```

**How to get usage counts**: for each skill, count sessions containing `/$skill`:

```bash
for skill in about-oracle awaken contacts create-shortcut \
  dig dream feel forward go inbox incubate learn oracle-family-scan \
  oracle-soul-sync-update philosophy project recap resonance rrr \
  schedule standup talk-to team-agents trace vault where-we-are who-are-you xray; do
  count=$(grep -rl "/$skill" ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
  echo "$count $skill"
done | sort -rn
```

Status legend:
- `✓ ok` — arra-managed, current version
- `⚠️ stale` — arra-managed but outdated (needs update)
- `—` — not installed (available in higher profile)

**Step 3: Confirm** — now with full context:

```
Proceed with cleanup?
  - Conflicts will be replaced (backed up to .bak)
  - External skills kept untouched
  - Which profile? [standard / full / lab]
```

**Step 4: Clean + reinstall** (only after user confirms):

```bash
# Uninstall arra-managed via CLI
$ARRA uninstall -g -y

# For each conflict skill: rename to .bak (Nothing is Deleted)
for name in [conflicting skills]; do
  mv "$SKILLS_DIR/$name" "$SKILLS_DIR/${name}.bak.$(date +%s)"
done

# Fresh install at latest
LATEST=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli/tags | grep -m1 '"name"' | cut -d'"' -f4)
~/.bun/bin/bunx --bun arra-oracle-skills@github:Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli#$LATEST install -g -y
```

**Output:**
```
🧹 Cleanup complete!
  Kept: [N] external skills
  Replaced: [N] conflicts (backed up to .bak)
  Installed: [N] fresh at $LATEST
  Restart required.
```

**When to use:**
- Stale skills from old versions mixed with new
- `[hidden]` flags persisting after unhide
- Version mismatch (some v3.6.1, some v3.7.0)
- Want a clean slate without losing personal skills

### `/go update` — pull the newest skills from GitHub

**Never update through the installed `$ARRA` binary.** It ships its own copy of the skills,
frozen at whatever version you installed it — so `$ARRA install` re-writes those frozen
skills over your current ones. When the binary is older than your skills (the normal case
after a few weeks), "update" quietly becomes a **downgrade**. Observed live: a
`26.5.15` binary overwriting `26.7.25` skills.

Always fetch from GitHub instead, so the newest skills come from the branch rather than
from whatever is cached on disk:

```bash
CURRENT=$($ARRA --version 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown")
LATEST=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli/tags | grep -m1 '"name"' | cut -d'"' -f4)
echo "  CLI binary:   $CURRENT"
echo "  Latest tag:   $LATEST"

# The update itself — always from GitHub, never from $ARRA
$ARRA_INSTALL install -g -y
```

`#alpha` is the branch every cut lands on first; it is also the repo's default branch, so
this is the same code the plugin marketplace serves. Pin a tag (`#$LATEST`) instead when
you deliberately want a specific release.

**Already on the plugin?** If `claude plugin list` shows `oracle-skills@oracle-skills`, that
install updates itself — run `/plugin update oracle-skills@oracle-skills` and stop here.
Running both leaves two copies of every skill and it stops being obvious which one loads.

**Refreshing a specific set** — `-s` takes a LIST of names, so each name must arrive as its
own argument. In zsh (the default shell here) `$VAR` does **not** word-split, so a variable
holding names collapses into one bogus argument and the CLI silently installs only the
default profile:

```bash
NAMES="dig learn talk-to"
… install -g -y -s $NAMES      # zsh: ONE argument → wrong, installs default profile only
… install -g -y -s ${=NAMES}   # zsh: three arguments → correct
… install -g -y -s dig learn talk-to   # always correct, in any shell
```

Also note `-s` is **additive on top of the default profile** — it adds the named skills, it
does not restrict the install to them.

### MCP-server drift (#426)

Skills are only half of what goes stale. The `arra-oracle` MCP server is wired
separately in `~/.claude.json`, so it drifts on its own — a real case had it
pinned **161 commits / 30 days** behind while `/go update` still reported
everything synced, because the skills matched. Check both, or "synced" is a
half-truth.

```bash
python3 - <<'PY'
import json, os, re, subprocess
cfg = (json.load(open(os.path.expanduser('~/.claude.json'))).get('mcpServers') or {}).get('arra-oracle')
if not cfg:
    print('  arra-oracle MCP: not configured — nothing to check'); raise SystemExit

args = ' '.join(cfg.get('args') or [])

# 1. Local checkout — drift is commits behind upstream.
repo = next((a for a in (cfg.get('args') or []) if a.startswith('/')), None)
if repo:
    while repo != '/' and not os.path.isdir(os.path.join(repo, '.git')):
        repo = os.path.dirname(repo)
    if repo != '/':
        subprocess.run(['git', '-C', repo, 'fetch', '--quiet', 'origin'], check=False)
        behind = subprocess.run(['git', '-C', repo, 'rev-list', '--count', 'HEAD..@{u}'],
                                capture_output=True, text=True).stdout.strip() or '?'
        print(f'  arra-oracle MCP: local checkout {repo}')
        print(f'    {"up to date" if behind == "0" else behind + " commits behind upstream — git -C " + repo + " pull"}')
        raise SystemExit

# 2. Git-pinned bunx — drift is the pinned ref vs upstream HEAD.
m = re.search(r'github:([\w.-]+/[\w.-]+)#([\w.-]+)', args)
if m:
    slug, ref = m.groups()
    head = subprocess.run(['git', 'ls-remote', f'https://github.com/{slug}', 'HEAD'],
                          capture_output=True, text=True).stdout.split()
    print(f'  arra-oracle MCP: pinned {slug}#{ref}')
    print(f'    upstream HEAD {head[0][:12] if head else "unknown"} — repin if this is stale')
    raise SystemExit

# 3. Unpinned bunx — resolves from bun's cache, so version is whatever was cached.
print('  arra-oracle MCP: unpinned bunx — resolves from cache, version unknowable')
print('    pin a tag, or clear with: bun pm cache rm')
PY
```

Report drift alongside the skills version; never auto-edit `~/.claude.json` —
that file holds credentials for every MCP server the user has, and a wrong write
costs more than a stale server. Print the fix and let them run it.

- `/go update` → fetch latest from GitHub and reinstall in place
- Does NOT change your profile — pass `-p <name>` only if you also want to switch tiers
- Safe to run anytime — idempotent

### `/go install <skill...>` — cherry-pick specific skills

```bash
$ARRA_INSTALL install -g -s <skill...> -y
```

- `/go install team-agents` → `$ARRA_INSTALL install -g -s team-agents -y`
- `/go install dig hey xray` → `$ARRA_INSTALL install -g -s dig hey xray -y`

Works for ANY skill — standard, lab, or even zombie. Does not change your profile; just adds the named skills on top of whatever you have.

### `/go remove <skill...>` — uninstall specific skills

```bash
$ARRA uninstall -g -s <skill...> -y
```

- `/go remove watch` → `$ARRA uninstall -g -s watch -y`

### `/go find <query>` — search available skills

```bash
$ARRA profiles lab 2>/dev/null
```

Show all skills from the lab profile (the superset) and highlight any matching the query. If the user says `/go find feel`, search the profile output for "feel" and show where it lives (which tier, installed or not).

- `/go find feel` → show feel is in lab tier, not installed, description
- `/go find team` → show team-agents in standard tier, installed

---

## Available Profiles

| Profile | Count | Description |
|---------|-------|-------------|
| **minimal** | 7 | Newcomer essentials — lite lifecycle, trace, update (token-optimized) |
| **standard** | 13 | Daily driver — essential Oracle skills |
| **full** | ~30 | All stable skills (excludes lab-only + minimal-only lite variants) |
| **lab** | ~48 | Everything including experimental (excludes minimal-only lite variants) |

---

## Rules

1. **Always `-g`** — global (user-level) skills
2. **Always `-y`** — skip confirmation
3. **Restart required** — agent loads skills at session start
4. **`go` is always preserved** — it's in every profile
5. **Show result** — after running the command, tell the user what changed and remind them to restart
