Kyle Carberry 48fd0ef4bc feat: return workspace skill directory from read_skill (#26713)
Workspace skills live on the workspace filesystem, and the agent's read_file
and execute tools already operate there. read_skill now returns "dir", the
absolute skill directory, for workspace skills, so the agent can read or run
bundled supporting files (for example a scripts/ helper) with the workspace
tools. The field is omitted for personal skills, which are database-backed and
have no files. read_skill_file is unchanged.

Kyle Carberry cd56ab9e33 refactor: remove legacy live-read and injected-history chat context paths (#26585)
This PR makes the agent-pushed pinned snapshot
(`chat_context_resources`) the sole source of workspace context for
chats, completing the "Release 5" cleanup. It removes legacy mechanisms
now superseded by the snapshot that agents push over dRPC
(`PushContextState`) and refresh via `chat-context/refresh`.

Removed:

- **Live-read at turn time.** MCP tool discovery, skill live-body reads,
and the instruction/skill history fallback that dialed the workspace on
every turn.
- **Context injected as message history.** The
`persist_workspace_context` generation action and its decision-loop
guard.
- **The legacy write path.** `POST`/`DELETE
/api/v2/workspaceagents/me/experimental/chat-context`, the agentsdk
`AddChatContext`/`ClearChatContext` methods, and the CLI one-shot
writer.
- **The `chats.last_injected_context` column** and all of its plumbing
(migration `000529`, queries, `db2sdk`, `dbauthz`, audit table, and the
frontend `ContextUsageIndicator` fallback).

Subagent context inheritance no longer copies parent context messages;
children now hydrate the parent's pinned `chat_context_resources` on
create, which yields an identical pin for the same workspace and agent.

What stays (still served by the live agent connection, not the
snapshot): `read_skill_file` supporting-file reads, `read_skill`
supporting-file listing, and MCP tool execution.

> [!NOTE]
> Migration `000529` drops `chats.last_injected_context` and recreates
the `chats_expanded` view without it. The down migration restores both.

<details>
<summary>Decision log (D1-D5)</summary>

- **D1 (subagent inheritance):** Re-point inheritance from the legacy
message copy to a pinned hydrate. Children call
`hydrateChatContextOnCreate` instead of copying parent context messages.
- **D2 (`persist_workspace_context`):** Remove the generation action
entirely along with the decision-loop guard it existed to satisfy, since
context is never injected into history anymore.
- **D3 (legacy HTTP + CLI):** Remove the experimental `chat-context`
POST/DELETE endpoints, the agentsdk methods, and the CLI one-shot. The
dRPC push + `chat-context/refresh` replace them.
- **D4 (frontend fallback):** Remove the `last_injected_context`
fallback in `ContextUsageIndicator`; pinned `resources` are the sole
source.
- **D5 (sequencing):** Ship as a single PR rather than a stacked pair.

Kyle Carberry 78c5ab96c9 feat(coderd/x/chatd): serve workspace MCP tools and read_skill from pinned context (#26581)
This wires the last two consumer-side gaps of the agent-pushed workspace
context refactor. coderd already hydrates each chat's pinned context
(`chat_context_resources`), and `resolveTurnWorkspaceContext` already
prefers the pin for instruction files and skill metadata. This change
extends that preference to workspace MCP tools and the `read_skill`
body.

Workspace MCP tools are now built from the chat's pinned `mcp_server`
resources instead of a live `ListMCPTools` pull.
`resolveWorkspaceMCPTools` prefers the pin and falls back to live
discovery for chats whose agent has not reported context yet, gated the
same way as the instruction/skills pin: the pin wins whenever the chat
has any pinned rows, so a workspace with no MCP servers contributes no
tools rather than resurrecting stale ones. Because the agent reports
tool names unprefixed, each tool is re-prefixed to the
`{server}__{tool}` form and the pushed JSON Schema is split into
`properties` and `required` so the result matches what live discovery
produced. Calls still proxy through the workspace agent connection; the
snapshot carries tool definitions, not a way to execute them.

`read_skill` now serves a workspace skill's `SKILL.md` body from the
pinned snapshot (`SkillMeta.Meta`) instead of dialing the agent, so a
pinned chat keeps returning the same instructions even when the
workspace is unreachable. The supporting-file list stays a best-effort
live lookup, since the snapshot carries only the meta file per the agent
push contract.

The legacy live paths remain as the fallback for agents that have not
pushed context; RFC Release-5 cleanup of those paths is out of scope
here.

<details>
<summary>Implementation plan and decisions</summary>

### Background

The agentcontext refactor is mostly shipped across earlier PRs (#25983,
#26526, #26533, #26577, #26570, #26573): the agent resolves instruction
files, skills, and MCP servers into a snapshot, pushes it via
`PushContextState`, and coderd hydrates each chat's pinned context
(`chat_context_resources`). This PR closes the two remaining
consumer-side gaps.

### Key facts established from the code

- Pushed MCP tool names are **unprefixed** (`mcprunner` stores
`tool.Name`); the agent MCP proxy and `CallMCPTool` expect the
`{server}__{tool}` form (`agentmcp.ToolNameSep`). The pinned path
reconstructs the prefix for execution, matching the model-facing names
the legacy path produced.
- Legacy `agentmcp` sets `MCPToolInfo.Schema = InputSchema.Properties`
and `Required = InputSchema.Required` separately. The pushed
`input_schema` is the full JSON Schema object, so the pinned builder
extracts `properties` and `required` to match that shape.
- `SkillMetaBody.meta` is the verbatim SKILL.md. The supporting-file
list is **not** in the snapshot, so it is fetched live on demand
(best-effort).
- Gating mirrors `resolveTurnWorkspaceContext`: the pin wins when the
chat has any pinned rows; otherwise the live path is used.

### Changes

1. `chattool/skill.go`: add `SkillMeta.Meta []byte`; extract
`listSkillFiles` from `LoadSkillBody`; in `readWorkspaceSkillBody`, when
`Meta` is present, parse the body from it without dialing and list files
best-effort, else use the legacy live read.
2. `context_prompt.go`: populate `SkillMeta.Meta` in
`contextResourcesToPrompt`; add `workspaceMCPToolInfosFromResources`
(pinned `mcp_server` rows to `[]workspacesdk.MCPToolInfo` with prefixed
names and split properties/required) and `splitMCPInputSchema`.
3. `chatd.go`: add `pinnedWorkspaceMCPTools` (build tools from the pin,
ok-gated) and `resolveWorkspaceMCPTools` (pin-first, fall back to
`discoverWorkspaceMCPTools`).
4. `generation_preparer.go`: call `resolveWorkspaceMCPTools` instead of
`discoverWorkspaceMCPTools`.

### Tests

- `chattool/skill_test.go`: read_skill serves the pinned body without
dialing, lists files via LS, and still returns the body when the
workspace is unreachable.
- `context_prompt_internal_test.go`: `SkillMeta.Meta` is populated;
`workspaceMCPToolInfosFromResources` prefixing/properties/required/skip
behavior; `pinnedWorkspaceMCPTools` ok-gating and fallback dispatch.

Michael Suchacz 63900d212d feat: support personal skills in chats (#25366)
> Mux updated this PR on behalf of Mike.

## Stack Context

This PR builds on #25365 in the experimental personal skills stack and
completes the chat integration.

Stack order:
1. #25362 personal skill resolver
2. #25363 storage, permissions, API, and SDK
3. #25365 API test coverage
4. #25366 chattool and chatd integration
5. #25066 settings UI and docs
6. #25386 personal skills slash menu

## What?

Updates chattool skill formatting and `read_skill` resolution so tools
can read personal skills from the database, then injects personal skill
metadata into chatd prompts and registers the skill-reading tools when
skills are available.

This branch has also been merged with current `origin/main` to resolve
merge conflicts.

## Why?

The chattool and chatd changes need to land together so the intermediate
stack state stays buildable. This completes personal skill availability
in chats without syncing personal skills into workspace filesystems.

## Validation

- `go test -count=1 ./coderd/x/chatd/chattool -run
'TestFormatResolvedSkillIndex|TestReadSkillTool|TestReadSkillFileTool'`
- `go test -count=1 ./coderd/x/chatd -run
'TestPersonalSkillsInSystemPrompt|TestPersonalAndWorkspaceSkillCollisionInSystemPrompt|TestSkillIndexRefreshReplacesStaleAliases|TestFetchPersonalSkillMetadata|TestLoadPersonalSkillBody'`
- `go test -count=1 ./coderd -run 'Test.*UserSkill'`
- `git diff --cached --check`
- `make lint`

Kyle Carberry 919dc299fc feat: agent reads context files and discovers skills locally (#23935)
Piggybacks on #23878. Moves instruction file reading and skill discovery
from `chatd` (server-side, via multiple `LS`/`ReadFile` round-trips
through the agent connection) to the agent itself (local filesystem
access).

This intentionally drops backward compatibility with older agents that
don't support the context-config endpoint. Agents and server are
deployed together; there is no rolling-update contract to maintain here.

## What changed

The agent's `GET /api/v0/context-config` response now returns
`[]ChatMessagePart` directly — the same types chatd persists. This
eliminates intermediate type conversions and makes the protocol
extensible.

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `parts` | `[]ChatMessagePart` | Context-file and skill parts, ready to
persist |
| `working_dir` | `string` | Agent's resolved working directory |

Removed from the response: `instructions_dirs`, `instructions_file`,
`skills_dirs`, `skill_meta_file`, `mcp_config_files` — the agent reads
files locally and returns their content as parts.

Removed from chatd: all legacy `LS`/`ReadFile` fallback code
(`readHomeInstructionFile`, `readInstructionDirFile`, `DiscoverSkills`
via LS, etc).

## Why

The previous architecture had the agent resolve paths, serve them over
HTTP, then `chatd` make N+1 round-trips back through the agent
connection to read files. The agent has direct filesystem access and
should just read the files.

## Key design decisions

- **Agent returns `ChatMessagePart` directly** — same types chatd
persists. No intermediate `InstructionFileEntry`/`SkillEntry` types
needed.
- **`SkillMeta.MetaFile`** — persisted via `ContextFileSkillMetaFile` on
the skill part, so custom meta file names
(`CODER_AGENT_EXP_SKILL_META_FILE`) survive across chat turns.
- **No pre-read body** — `read_skill` always dials the workspace to
fetch the skill body on demand. Simpler than caching the body in the
response.
- **MCP config paths kept agent-internal** — `MCPConfigFiles()` getter,
not sent over the wire.
- **No backward compat fallback** — old agents that don't support
context-config get no instruction files. This is acceptable since agent
and server deploy together.

Kyle Carberry ee855f9618 feat: make agent context paths configurable via env vars (#23878)
Replace hardcoded paths for instruction files, skills, and MCP config
with
values read from `CODER_AGENT_EXP_*` environment variables. Template
authors
configure paths via the existing `coder_agent` `env` block. The agent
resolves `~`, relative, and absolute paths locally, then serves the
resolved config over `GET /api/v0/context-config`. `chatd` fetches this
once per workspace attach and falls back to today's defaults for older
agents.

All path env vars are comma-separated, allowing multiple directories:

| Env Var | Default | Controls |
|---|---|---|
| `CODER_AGENT_EXP_INSTRUCTIONS_DIRS` | `~/.coder` | Dirs containing the
instruction file |
| `CODER_AGENT_EXP_INSTRUCTIONS_FILE` | `AGENTS.md` | Instruction file
name |
| `CODER_AGENT_EXP_SKILLS_DIRS` | `.agents/skills` | Skills directories
|
| `CODER_AGENT_EXP_SKILL_META_FILE` | `SKILL.md` | Skill metadata file
name |
| `CODER_AGENT_EXP_MCP_CONFIG_FILES` | `.mcp.json` | MCP config files |

### Example

```hcl
resource "coder_agent" "main" {
  os   = "linux"
  arch = "amd64"
  env = {
    CODER_AGENT_EXP_INSTRUCTIONS_DIRS  = "/opt/company/agent-config,~/.coder"
    CODER_AGENT_EXP_INSTRUCTIONS_FILE  = "CLAUDE.md"
    CODER_AGENT_EXP_SKILLS_DIRS        = "/opt/company/ai-skills,.agents/skills"
    CODER_AGENT_EXP_MCP_CONFIG_FILES   = "/opt/company/mcp.json,.mcp.json"
  }
}
```

<details>
<summary>Implementation Details</summary>

### Architecture

Follows the same pattern as MCP tool discovery:
agent resolves locally → exposes via HTTP → chatd consumes.

**Agent-side** (`agent/agentcontextconfig/`):
- `ResolvePath` / `ResolvePaths` handle `~`, relative, and absolute path
forms; returns `""` for relative paths when baseDir is empty
- `Config` reads env vars, falls back to defaults, resolves all paths
- `GET /api/v0/context-config` serves the resolved config as JSON

**chatd-side** (`coderd/x/chatd/`):
- Calls `conn.ContextConfig()` once on first workspace attach
- Falls back to hardcoded defaults on 404 (older agents)
- Iterates instruction dirs, skills dirs using resolved absolute paths
- `LSRelativityRoot` everywhere — no more home/root juggling

### Key design decisions

- **`EXP_` prefix**: env vars use `CODER_AGENT_EXP_*` to indicate
experimental status
- **Plural names**: comma-separated vars use plural names (`DIRS`,
`FILES`); single-value vars use singular (`FILE`)
- **Defaults in `workspacesdk`**: default constants live in
`codersdk/workspacesdk/` so both agent and server reference them without
cross-layer imports
- **`skillMetaFile` persistence**: stored on context-file parts via
`ContextFileSkillMetaFile` and restored on subsequent chat turns so
custom values survive across turns
- **Working dir dedup**: `slices.Contains` guard prevents reading the
same instruction file from both `InstructionsDirs` and the working
directory
- **MCP server dedup**: first-occurrence-wins dedup prevents leaking
duplicate connections from overlapping config files
- **ResolvePath safety**: returns `""` for relative paths when `baseDir`
is empty, so `ResolvePaths` filters them out

### Files changed

| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `agent/agentcontextconfig/` | New package — path resolution + HTTP
endpoint |
| `codersdk/workspacesdk/agentconn.go` | `ContextConfigResponse` type,
default constants, client method |
| `agent/agent.go` + `agent/api.go` | Wire up endpoint, pass config to
MCP |
| `agent/x/agentmcp/manager.go` | Accept `[]string` MCP config paths,
dedup by name |
| `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go` | Fetch config, thread through, named
returns |
| `coderd/x/chatd/instruction.go` | Accept configurable dir + file name,
`skillMetaFileFromParts` |
| `coderd/x/chatd/chattool/skill.go` | Accept configurable dirs + meta
file |
| `codersdk/chats.go` | `ContextFileSkillMetaFile` field for persistence
|

### Test coverage

- `TestConfig` (4 cases): defaults, custom env vars, whitespace
trimming, comma-separated dirs
- `TestResolvePath` / `TestResolvePaths`: including empty baseDir edge
case
- `TestPersistInstructionFilesFallbackOnOlderAgent`: backward-compat
path when `ContextConfig` returns 404
- `TestChatMessagePartVariantTags`: updated exclusion list for new
internal field

### Backward compatibility

Older agents return 404 for the new endpoint. `chatd` catches this and
falls back to today's defaults via `readHomeInstructionFile` (using
`LSRelativityHome`). Existing workspaces work with no changes.

Kyle Carberry 839165818b feat(coderd/x/chatd): add skills discovery and tools for chatd (#23715)
Adds skill discovery and tools to chatd so the agent can discover and
load `.agents/skills/` from workspaces, following the same pattern as
AGENTS.md instruction loading and MCP tool discovery.

## What changed

### `chattool/skill.go` — discovery, loading, and tools

- **DiscoverSkills** — walks `.agents/skills/` via `conn.LS()` +
`conn.ReadFile()`, parses SKILL.md frontmatter (name + description),
validates kebab-case names match directory names, silently skips
broken/missing entries.
- **FormatSkillIndex** — renders a compact `<available-skills>` XML
block for system prompt injection (~60 tokens for 3 skills). Progressive
disclosure: only names + descriptions in context, full body loaded on
demand.
- **LoadSkillBody** / **LoadSkillFile** — on-demand loading with path
traversal protection and size caps (64KB for SKILL.md, 512KB for
supporting files).
- **read_skill** / **read_skill_file** tools — `fantasy.AgentTool`
implementations following the same pattern as ReadFile and
WorkspaceMCPTool. Receive pre-discovered `[]SkillMeta` via closure to
avoid re-scanning on every call.

### `chatd.go` — integration into runChat

- Skills discovered in the `g2` errgroup parallel with instructions and
MCP tools.
- `skillsCache` (sync.Map) per chat+agent, same invalidation pattern as
MCP tools cache.
- Skill index injected via `InsertSystem` after workspace instructions.
- Re-injected in `ReloadMessages` callback so it survives compaction.
- `read_skill` + `read_skill_file` tools registered when skills are
present (for both root and subagent chats).
- Cache cleaned up in `cleanupStreamIfIdle` alongside MCP tools cache.

## Format compatibility

Uses the same `.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` format as
[coder/mux](https://github.com/coder/mux) and
[openai/codex](https://github.com/openai/codex).
