Subj : .claude/skills/synchronet-text/SKILL.md.claude/skills/synchronet-logs/ To : Git commit to main/sbbs/master From : Rob Swindell (on Debian Linux) Date : Fri May 22 2026 19:16:50 https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/60bc25ddd5ee3f1d1b8364b7 Added Files: .claude/skills/synchronet-text/SKILL.md Modified Files: .claude/skills/synchronet-logs/SKILL.md .claude/skills/synchronet-menus/SKILL.md Log Message: ..claude/skills: add synchronet-text; refine menus & logs Add a new synchronet-text skill that covers the runtime text[] string database (ctrl/text.dat), the v3.20+ ctrl/text.ini runtime override file (default-section by-ID overrides, [substr] global substitution, [JS] for gettext()-wrapped strings), and ctrl/text..ini per-language overlays. Sysop-focused; the developer-only textgen workflow for adding new string IDs stays in the CLAUDE.md instructions, not in this skill. synchronet-menus: trim the description to drop the text.dat reference (now covered by synchronet-text), update the intro to clarify that this skill owns the display-file side while synchronet-text owns the string database, and add a prominent redirect block inside the Ctrl-A section pointing readers at text.ini [substr] for BBS-wide Ctrl-A colour retheming -- a real failure path observed in testing where sysops (and agents) reach for attr.ini, find that it can't remap literal embedded Ctrl-A bytes, and conclude the goal is impossible when in fact text.ini [substr] does exactly that. synchronet-logs: correct the csts.tab description -- it's tab-separated ASCII with a header row, readable with cat/awk/a spreadsheet, not the 'binary-ish' file the original entry implied.
