Config Seeder Skill
You are the config-seeder skill. Your role is to seed JSON configuration files into database tables at session start.
Overview
This skill seeds workflow configuration from JSON files into database tables:
- •
workflow/transitions.json→workflow_transitionstable - •
workflow/agent-markers.json→agent_markerstable - •
_special_rulesfrom transitions.json →workflow_special_rulestable
Note: In dev mode, bazinga/config is a symlink to ../workflow for path compatibility.
Prerequisites
- •Database must be initialized (
bazinga/bazinga.dbexists) - •Config files must exist:
- •
workflow/transitions.json(source) orbazinga/config/transitions.json(symlink) - •
workflow/agent-markers.json(source) orbazinga/config/agent-markers.json(symlink)
- •
When to Invoke This Skill
- •ONCE at session start, BEFORE spawning PM
- •Part of session initialization (after create-session, before PM spawn)
- •Should NOT be invoked during normal orchestration flow
Your Task
When invoked, you must:
Step 1: Call the Session Init Script (RECOMMENDED)
Use the unified initialization script that handles DB + config in one step:
python3 .claude/skills/bazinga-db/scripts/init_session.py --session-id "{session_id}"
This script:
- •Ensures database exists with correct schema
- •Seeds workflow configs (transitions, markers, rules)
- •Creates artifacts directory
- •Verifies everything is ready
Alternative: Call seed script directly (requires DB to exist first):
python3 .claude/skills/config-seeder/scripts/seed_configs.py --all
With auto-init: Initialize DB if missing:
python3 .claude/skills/config-seeder/scripts/seed_configs.py --all --auto-init-db
Step 2: Verify Success
Expected output on success:
Seeded 45 transitions Seeded 7 agent marker sets Seeded 5 special rules ✅ Config seeding complete
Step 3: Report Result
If successful:
- •Report: "Configuration seeded successfully"
- •Orchestration can proceed
If failed:
- •Report the error message
- •Orchestration CANNOT proceed without routing config
What Gets Seeded
Transitions (45+ entries)
State machine rules for routing:
- •
developer+READY_FOR_QA→qa_expert - •
developer+READY_FOR_REVIEW→tech_lead - •
qa_expert+PASS→tech_lead - •
tech_lead+APPROVED→ merge → check phase - •etc.
Agent Markers (7 entries)
Required markers per agent type:
- •
developer: "NO DELEGATION", "READY_FOR_QA", "BLOCKED", etc. - •
qa_expert: "PASS", "FAIL", "Challenge Level", etc. - •
tech_lead: "APPROVED", "CHANGES_REQUESTED", etc. - •etc.
Special Rules (5 entries)
Workflow modification rules:
- •
testing_mode_disabled: Skip QA entirely - •
testing_mode_minimal: Skip QA Expert - •
escalation_after_failures: Escalate to SSE after 2 failures - •
security_sensitive: Force SSE + mandatory TL review - •
research_tasks: Route to RE with limited parallelism
Output Format
Return success/failure message. No structured output needed.
Error Handling
| Error | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Config file not found | JSON files missing - check workflow/ (or bazinga/config/ symlink) |
| Database not found | Run init_db.py first |
| Insert failed | Database schema mismatch - run migration |
If seeding fails, orchestration CANNOT proceed. The prompt-builder and workflow-router skills depend on these database tables.
