name: situations description: "Use when creating or editing Situations - Explains required files, metadata, and run script behavior."

Purpose

Situations capture small, runnable context snippets that are appended to prompts under a ## Situations section.

Location and layout

• Place each Situation in its own directory under .jorin/situations/ (repo-scoped) or ~/.jorin/situations/ (user-scoped).
• Each directory must include a SITUATION.yaml file and a runnable script referenced by run.

Example layout:

Copy.jorin/situations/<situation-name>/
  SITUATION.yaml
  run

SITUATION.yaml fields

• name: Identifier used for output tags like <name>...</name>. Defaults to the directory name if omitted.
• description: Brief human description of the situation’s purpose.
• run: Relative path (typically run) to the executable script.

If run is missing, the situation is ignored.

Run script expectations

• Prefer #!/usr/bin/env bash with set -euo pipefail for reliability.
• Emit concise, plain-text output to stdout.
• Keep output stable and low-noise because it is inserted directly into prompt context.
• The runner executes from the working directory and sets JORIN_PWD to that path; use it if you need an absolute reference.
• Ensure the script is executable; if direct execution fails, it is retried with bash and sh.

Editing guidelines

• Update the description when the output meaning changes.
• Keep the script fast and deterministic; avoid network calls or long-running operations.
• Validate locally by running the script directly and checking the output formatting.
