Copy Skill Files

Copy skill files is the fastest way to give an AI assistant the exact implementation context for a pattern.

What is copied

The feature reads meta.criticalFilesToCopy for a pattern and only includes files that matter most for changes:

• core AI logic
• orchestration and routing files
• tool definitions and schemas
• key UI integration files

Each selected file also includes an instructionsForAI note so the assistant knows what to focus on.

Output format

The copied payload is structured markdown:

1. Pattern title and description
2. ## Skill Files
3. For each file:
   • ### <path>
   • a short instruction block
   • a fenced code block with full file content

This format is intentional: it works well in Cursor, Claude, and other AI interfaces.

Where it is implemented

• Main behavior: components/block-viewer.tsx
• Gated public UI and upgrade prompt: components/public-block-viewer.tsx
• Intro dialog copy: components/copy-skill-files-dialog.tsx

How to use it effectively

1. Open a pattern page.
2. Click Copy skill files.
3. Paste into your AI tool.
4. Ask for a scoped change, for example:
   • "Refactor tool execution error handling only."
   • "Add retry logic without changing UI behavior."
   • "Split this file into smaller modules, preserve API."

Access model

• Free patterns: available.
• Pro patterns: full access for Pro/Premium entitlements.
• Locked public surfaces show upgrade prompts instead of file payload copying.

Best practices

• Keep prompts narrow and outcome-focused.
• Ask the AI to preserve external interfaces unless you request API changes.
• Never include secrets in pasted context.
