When modifying CLI commands, agents should test the happy path in a fresh project—not just dogfood against the existing repo. This catches assumptions about pre-existing config that dogfooding misses.

  • New skill .agents/skills/usethis-cli-user-test/SKILL.md — procedural guide for testing commands in a temp directory via uvx --from <repo-path> usethis <command>, including non-uv backend handling (--with poetry)
  • Cross-reference in usethis-cli-modify — added as step 5 in the procedure, complementing the existing dogfood step
  • Registry updates — added to AGENTS.md and docs/skills-directory.txt
