feat(web): add create_skill, update_skill, and list_skills tools to MCP and Ask Sourcebot#1612jsourcebot wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
…CP and Ask Sourcebot Extracts the skill creation/update/listing cores out of the settings server actions so the new agent tools can reuse them without next/cache calls, adds Ask approval for non-read-only built-ins with per-tool approval summaries, and registers the tools on the MCP server for authenticated, Ask-entitled sessions.
Scoped tokens are documented to grant access to selected repositories only, so the skill tools now reject that principal inside each handler and the MCP server skips registering them for scoped sessions. The handler check is the real gate: MCP sessions are keyed by owner, not principal, so a session created with a full credential can later be driven by a scoped token.

canEdit mismatches update_skill policy
Medium Severity
canEdit is documented as whether update_skill can edit a row, but it requires enabled for personal skills. updateAgentSkillForContext only applies the enabled filter to shared skills, so a disabled personal skill is listed as not editable while update_skill still updates it. The agent can refuse a valid edit or call the tool after telling the user it cannot.

Remove the trailing separator.
Line 14 renders a vertical separator after the final count label. It has no adjacent element on its right. This produces a stray divider in the tool result row.

Adds three skill management tools available to both Ask Sourcebot and the MCP server:
create_skillcreates an enabled personal skill (usable as/<slug>or via auto-invocation). Only called on explicit user request; duplicate slugs are rejected with a retryable error.update_skilledits a skill in place, identified byslug+scope. Omitted fields keep their current values. Personal skills are owner-editable; shared skills are editable only by their creator and only while enabled; repo-synced skills are rejected and pointed at Settings → Skills. The tool never changesenabledand never moves a skill between catalogs.list_skillslists the user's personal skills plus the org's shared catalog (slug/scope/enabled/isSynced/canEdit/adopted), never including instructions.Implementation notes
skillCreation.ts,skillListing.ts) so the tools can reuse them withoutnext/cachecalls (refresh()throws outside Server Actions); the actions delegate to the cores and keeprefreshSkillSettingsViews().toVercelAIToolnow setsneedsApproval: !isReadOnly, socreate_skill/update_skillgo through Ask's approval flow; the approval banner shows a per-tool summary ("Agent wants to create skill {name}" / "Agent wants to update [your | shared] skill {name}", resolved from the chat's command catalog).registerMcpToolemitsdestructiveHintfrom a newisDestructiveflag (create_skill: false,update_skill: true).load_skill), excluding programmatic runs where nobody can answer an approval.
