Can this skill be used to read run data?

No, this skill is strictly for writing updates to status, last_flow, and updated_at fields. To read or derive data from the index, you should use the companion 'runs-derive' skill.

Does this skill create the index.json file?

No, it is a write-bearing tool for updates only. The index.json file must be initialized by the run-prep agent; otherwise, the skill will fail to prevent unauthorized file creation.

What is the primary purpose of the Runs Index skill?

It is designed to update the status and metadata of SDLC runs in a central index file, ensuring a reliable and machine-readable audit trail for automated workflows.

Which agents are authorized to use this skill?

This skill is restricted to run-prep agents and various cleanup agents (such as signal-cleanup, deploy-cleanup, and gate-cleanup) to maintain strict data ownership.

Why are the writes described as deterministic?

Deterministic writes ensure that the JSON output is consistently sorted and formatted, which prevents 'noisy' git diffs when multiple agents or runs update the same file.

배포 및 DevOps

Maintains deterministic audit trails and status updates for SDLC runs within automated Claude Code workflows.

소개

The Runs Index skill provides a specialized interface for managing a central registry of software development lifecycle (SDLC) runs within the Demo Swarm framework. It ensures deterministic, idempotent updates to the .runs/index.json file, focusing specifically on tracking run status, timestamps, and flow progress while preserving existing data and git-friendly formatting. This tool is essential for maintaining consistent audit trails and coordination across multiple autonomous agents during complex deployment, gate verification, and cleanup operations.
