feat: ship an Agent Skill for adding breakers with coding agents - #205
Conversation
…akers A model trained before 2026 has never seen interlock, so an agent asked for a circuit breaker reaches for a consecutive-failure counter and guesses at the API. skills/interlock-cb/SKILL.md follows the open Agent Skills format and installs with `npx skills add bagowix/interlock` into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and the other clients that read it. The skill is a procedure: inventory outbound calls, pick the integration per dependency, size Config from observed traffic, roll out in METRICS_ONLY, map rejections to 503 + Retry-After, test with an injected clock, migrate from the streak-based libraries. The README, the docs landing page and llms.txt point to it. pymarkdown now parses YAML front matter so the skill passes the markdown hook.
The release job runs the test suite before `uv build`, and Hypothesis leaves its `.hypothesis/` cache in the checkout. Git ignores it through the nested `.gitignore` Hypothesis writes there, while hatchling reads only the root one, so the 2.8.0 sdist shipped 37 opaque cache files. The sdist target now excludes the directory explicitly.

Codecov Report✅ All modified and coverable lines are covered by tests. 📢 Thoughts on this report? Let us know! |
The production reference claimed a missing deployment key fails the rollout, while the settings model it shows falls back to the field default; the failure comes from a secret store resolved at process start, and the text now says which mechanism does what. The retry bullet in the skill now names the client library's base error class plainly.
The configuration and migration pages, and the agent skill that quoted them, said a slow_call_rate_threshold of 1.0 never trips on latency alone. The comparison is >=, so a window in which every call is slow does trip; the text now says so and keeps the practical advice. The production reference no longer claims to configure a proxy it does not forward, the retry bullets describe the typed rejections as descendants of the client library's error hierarchy, and two headings drop unverifiable authority claims.
## Summary Adds the official skills.sh badge to the README badge row, next to the llms.txt and Context7 badges, the other two entry points for agents. It renders the install count skills.sh aggregates from the skills CLI for the Agent Skill shipped in #205, and links to the repository's page on skills.sh, which carries the `npx skills add bagowix/interlock` command. The badge endpoint started returning data today after the first install; before that it rendered "resource not found", which is why this waited for the merge of #205. No changelog entry, following #75, which added the documentation and Context7 badges the same way. ## Checklist - [x] Tests added or updated (suite stays at 100% coverage): no code changes; the suite is untouched - [x] `uv run ruff format --check` and `uv run ruff check` pass - [x] `uv run mypy`, `uv run pyright` and `uv run pyrefly check` pass - [x] Docs updated (`docs/`) for user-facing changes: README only, the docs landing page carries no badge row - [x] `CHANGELOG.md` `[Unreleased]` updated: deliberately not, see above - [x] Commits follow Conventional Commits ## Related issues None. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ### Added - Add the official skills.sh install badge to the README badge row. - Link the badge to the `bagowix/interlock` skills.sh page. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
## Summary The Agent Skill shipped in #205 was documented under `## Using with AI coding agents`, the second-to-last section of the README — below the comparison table, the integrations list and the documentation index. For the reader it is a quickstart: `npx skills add bagowix/interlock` and the agent does the wiring. Nobody scrolls that far to find out. `## Quickstart` now holds both paths: ``` ## Quickstart ### With a coding agent ← npx skills add + llms.txt / llms-full.txt / Context7 ### By hand ← the existing CircuitBreaker example, unchanged ``` The prose is moved verbatim; the only new lines are the two subsection headings. The bottom section is gone, and nothing linked to its anchor. `docs/index.md` already carried the same block high on the page (`## AI coding agents`, right after `## At a glance`), so the docs site needs no change. ## Checklist - [ ] Tests added or updated (suite stays at 100% coverage) — N/A, no code changed - [ ] `uv run ruff format --check` and `uv run ruff check` pass — N/A, no Python changed - [ ] `uv run mypy`, `uv run pyright` and `uv run pyrefly check` pass — N/A, no Python changed - [x] Docs updated (`docs/`) for user-facing changes — `docs/index.md` already placed the block above the fold - [x] `CHANGELOG.md` `[Unreleased]` updated — the skill entry is already there from #205 and still describes this accurately; this PR only moves where the README says it - [x] Commits follow Conventional Commits - [x] `pymarkdown` passes (pre-commit) ## Related issues Follow-up to #205. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ### Added - Added coding-agent setup with `npx skills add bagowix/interlock`. - Added links to `llms.txt`, `llms-full.txt`, and Context7. ### Changed - Moved Agent Skill instructions into the Quickstart section. - Kept the existing `CircuitBreaker` manual setup under “By hand”. - Removed “Using with AI coding agents”. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
## Summary Prepare the `2.8.1` patch release. * Bump the package version from `2.8.0` to `2.8.1`. * Move the current `[Unreleased]` changelog entries into `[2.8.1] - 2026-09-18`, keeping the Added-before-Fixed order every other section uses. * Update the changelog comparison links, and the release version on the comparison page. The month there already reads September. * Regenerate `docs/llms-full.txt`. Patch, not minor: the release adds no public API. `griffe check interlock --search .` reports the `VERSION` attribute (`2.8.0` → `2.8.1`) as the only difference. The Agent Skill from #205 ships under `skills/`, and the packaging fix changes what the sdist carries. This follows 2.6.1, which was a patch although its `Added` section held the Open Graph tags, the Search Console verification and the README diagram — all outside the library surface. What reaches a user: * **The Agent Skill (#205).** `npx skills add bagowix/interlock` installs a procedure for adding breakers into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Gemini CLI. Until this release the PyPI page said nothing about it: #205 landed after `2.8.0`, so the published long description still ends at the comparison table. * **The source distribution no longer carries the Hypothesis example database.** The release job runs the tests before `uv build`, and Hypothesis leaves `.hypothesis/` in the checkout. Git ignores it through the nested `.gitignore` Hypothesis writes there; hatchling reads only the root one, so the cache shipped. The published `2.8.0` sdist has `.hypothesis/` at its top level; a local build of this branch, with the cache present in the checkout, has none. ## Checklist - [x] Tests added or updated (suite stays at 100% coverage) — 851 passed, 2 skipped, coverage 100.00% - [x] `uv run ruff format --check` and `uv run ruff check` pass - [x] `uv run mypy`, `uv run pyright` and `uv run pyrefly check` pass - [x] Docs updated (`docs/`) for user-facing changes — comparison table and the regenerated `llms-full.txt` - [x] `CHANGELOG.md` `[Unreleased]` updated — dated as `[2.8.1]`, links updated - [x] Commits follow Conventional Commits Additional release checks: the package builds (`interlock_cb-2.8.1`), `twine check` PASSED on both artefacts, and the sdist carries no `.hypothesis/` entry. ## Related issues Releases #205 and the packaging fix that followed it.
Summary
Ships an Agent Skill,
skills/interlock-cb/SKILL.mdin the open Agent Skills format, that walks a coding agent through adding interlock to a codebase: an inventory of outbound calls, the integration per dependency, threshold sizing, a shadow-mode rollout,503 + Retry-Aftermapping, clock-driven tests, and the migration from pybreaker, circuitbreaker, aiobreaker or purgatory. A model trained before 2026 has never seen this library, so without the skill an agent asked for a circuit breaker reaches for a consecutive-failure counter and guesses at the API. It installs withnpx skills add bagowix/interlockinto Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI and the other clients that read the format.skills/interlock-cb/references/production-httpx-service.mdrecords, anonymised, a layout that has carried production traffic: a settings model with the mode and thresholds in deployment config, one registry per process behind a transport factory, a Prometheus listener with a current-state gauge, the httpx facts that bite (transport=dropslimits,verifyand env proxies; the transport sees only response headers), retry predicates that must not match the typed rejection, rollout stages, and the tests that caught real mistakes.Around it: a "Using with AI coding agents" section in the README and on the docs landing page, a link from
