Hive Linkedin Automation
Read before automating LinkedIn with browser_* tools. LinkedIn combines shadow DOM (#interop-outlet), strict Trusted Types CSP that silently drops innerHTML, Lexical composer, native beforeunload dialogs that hang the bridge, and aggressive spam filters — each has bitten us at least once. Verified flows for profile messaging, connection-request acceptance, feed composition, and search. Requires h…
Hive Terminal Tools Troubleshooting
Read when a terminal-tools call returned something surprising — empty stdout despite no error, exit_code is null, output_handle came back expired, "too many jobs" / "session busy" / "too many PTYs", warning was set unexpectedly, semantic_status disagrees with exit_code. Diagnostic recipes only — load on demand. Don't preload; the foundational skill covers the happy path.
Hive X Automation
Read before automating X / Twitter with browser_* tools. Verified flows for post, reply, delete, search-and-engage, plus the Draft.js compose quirks that silently disable the send button. Includes the daily-reply and job-market-reply playbooks. Requires hive.browser-automation for the underlying screenshot + coordinate workflow. Verified 2026-04-11.
Hive Writing Hive Skills
Author a new Agent Skill for a Hive agent that conforms to the Agent Skills specification (SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter, optional scripts/references/assets directories). Use when the user asks to create, scaffold, add, or package a new skill for a Hive agent.
Hive Browser Automation
Required before any browser_* tool call. Teaches the screenshot + browser_click_coordinate workflow that reaches shadow-DOM inputs selectors can't see, the CSS-pixel coordinate rule (not physical px), rich-text editor quirks ("send button stays disabled" failures), and CSP gotchas. Covers Chrome via CDP through the GCU Beeline extension. Skipping this causes repeated failures on LinkedIn / Reddit…
Hive Quality Monitor
Periodically self-assess output quality to catch degradation before the judge does.
Hive Error Recovery
Follow a structured recovery decision tree when tool calls fail instead of blindly retrying or giving up.
Hive Terminal Tools Foundations
Required reading whenever any shell_* tool is available. Teaches the foreground/background dichotomy (terminal_exec auto-promotes past 30s, returns a job_id you poll with terminal_job_logs), the standard envelope shape (exit_code, stdout, stdout_truncated_bytes, output_handle, semantic_status, warning, auto_backgrounded, job_id), output handle pagination via terminal_output_get, when to read sema…
Test Reporting
A Claude skill from aden-hive/hive.
Hive Terminal Tools Pty Sessions
Use when you need state across calls — building env vars, navigating with cd, driving REPLs (python -i, mysql, psql, node), or responding to interactive prompts (sudo password, ssh host-key confirmation, mysql connection). Teaches the prompt-sentinel exec pattern (default mode), raw I/O for REPLs (raw_send=True then read_only=True), the one-in-flight-per-session rule, and the close-or-leak-agains…
Browser Edge Cases
SOP for debugging browser automation failures on complex websites. Use when browser tools fail on specific sites like LinkedIn, Twitter/X, SPAs, or sites with Shadow DOM.
Hive Terminal Tools Job Control
Use when launching anything that runs longer than a minute, anything that streams logs, anything you want to keep running while doing other work — or when terminal_exec auto-backgrounded on you and returned a job_id. Teaches the start→poll→wait pattern with terminal_job_logs offset bookkeeping, the `wait_until_exit=True` blocking-poll idiom, the truncated_bytes_dropped resumption signal, the merg…
Triage Issue
A Claude skill from aden-hive/hive.
Hive Note Taking
Maintain a free-form scratchpad of decisions, extracted values, and open questions so context pruning doesn't lose anything you still need.
Hive Chart Creation Foundations
Required reading whenever any chart_* tool is available. Teaches the one-tool embedding contract (call chart_render → live chart appears in chat AND a downloadable PNG lands in the queen session dir), the ECharts (data viz) vs Mermaid (structural diagrams) decision, the BI/financial-grade aesthetic baseline (no chartjunk, restrained palette, proper typography, single message per chart), and the c…
Hive Colony Progress Tracker
Claim tasks, record step progress, and verify SOP gates in the colony SQLite queue. Applies when your spawn message includes a db_path field.
Hive Terminal Tools Fs Search
Use terminal_rg / terminal_find when you need raw filesystem search outside the project tree — system configs, /var/log, /etc, archive contents — or when files-tools.search_files is too project-scoped. Teaches the rg vs find vs terminal_exec("ls/du/tree") split, common rg flag combos for code/logs/configs, find predicates for mtime/size/type queries, and the rule that for tree views or single-fil…
Hive Context Preservation
Proactively extract critical values from tool results into working notes before automatic context pruning destroys them.
