name: bbt-skill-copilot description: Create, improve, convert, validate, run, and integrate bbt scenarios for black-box CLI testing. Use when the user mentions bbt, behaviour scenarios in Markdown, executable documentation, CLI test automation, scenario conversion, or CI/CD integration for bbt. license: Apache-2.0 compatibility: Requires bbt to be installed for execution tasks; authoring tasks require no runtime dependency. metadata: author: Lionel Draghi version: "1.0.0"

bbt skill for agents

Use this skill when the user wants to work with bbt scenarios: write them, convert existing documentation into them, check their syntax, run them locally, or integrate them in CI/CD.

bbt is both:

• a lightweight scenario format embedded in Markdown documentation;
• a command-line tool that executes recognised scenarios against CLI programs.

Route the task

Choose the smallest relevant reference file. Do not load all references by default. Use progressive discovery: start from this file, then read only the reference needed by the user's intent.

Read authoring when the user wants to

• create, write, improve, fix, refactor, or validate bbt scenarios;
• convert existing documentation, examples, README files, test notes, tutorials, or Gherkin scenarios into bbt-compatible Markdown;
• make documentation examples executable or checkable by bbt.

Typical requests:

• "make my README.md runnable"
• "make tests.md bbt compatible"
• "make examples provided in user_guide.md checkable by bbt"
• "turn examples from my documentation into executable tests"
• "convert this guide into bbt scenarios"
• "fix this bbt scenario"

Read execution when the user wants to

• run existing bbt scenarios;
• check whether a Markdown file executes correctly with bbt;
• understand or troubleshoot bbt command-line usage;
• integrate bbt into CI/CD.

Typical requests:

• "run my README.md"
• "check my README.md"
• "how do I run these bbt tests?"
• "create a GitHub Actions workflow for bbt"
• "why does this bbt run fail?"

Inspect examples when the user asks for complete examples

Use this directory only when the user needs realistic, copyable, complete scenario files or when examples are useful to guide authoring.

If the request involves both conversion and execution, read authoring.md first, then execution.md.
