What it does

Wfa Platform Services is an agent skill from tautcony/ChapterTool. Phase C of a WinForms-to-Avalonia migration: implement platform and infrastructure adapters for dependencies discovered in Phase A/B, such as persistence, process execution, dialogs, notifications, or environment capabilities. Use only in an explicit migration when such dependencies leak into Forms/core or when the orchestrator routes here. Do not invent adapters for capabilities the product does not have, and do not implement main-window XAML.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/external-processes.md`, `references/platform-abstraction.md` and `references/settings-migration.md`).

It works with Avalonia. The repository describes itself as: Cross-platform chapter editing and conversion toolkit for desktop, CLI, WebAssembly, and Node.js, with support for Blu-ray and common media chapter formats. The licence is GPL-3.0.

Example prompts

  • “/wfa-platform-services”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Catalog touchpoints
  2. Interfaces vs implementations
  3. Persisted state, when present
  4. External processes, when present
  5. Dependency-backed adapters
  6. Secondary-surface API only
  7. Logging

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75dd863. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Wfa Platform Services loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 421 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Phase C of a WinForms-to-Avalonia migration: implement platform and infrastructure adapters for dependencies discovered in Phase A/B, such as persistence, process execution, dialogs, notifications, or environment capabilities. Use only in an explicit migration when such dependencies leak into Forms/core or when the orchestrator routes here. Do not invent adapters for capabilities the product does not have, and do not implement main-window XAML.

Phase C — Platform / Infrastructure services

Replace legacy static helpers and environment coupling with injectable, testable adapters.

Read platform abstraction to define ports, external processes only when the product launches child processes, and settings migration only when settings exist.

Workflow

1. Catalog touchpoints
Legacy patternService direction
UI prompts hidden in helpershost-owned interaction port
Static notifications or loggingstructured diagnostic/logging port
Persisted application preferencestyped, versioned store
Filesystem or process callsnarrow adapter with cancellation and failure semantics
Environment capability checkscapability query plus supported/unsupported result
Legacy deployment integrationreplace, isolate, or explicitly retire
2. Interfaces vs implementations
  • Abstractions consumable without Avalonia types where possible
  • Implementations in Infrastructure, or in the UI host when they require a UI lifetime
3. Persisted state, when present

Evolve toward a versioned single document when multiple stores appear:

  • schemaVersion + sections
  • Ordered migrators
  • Reject future versions (do not overwrite with defaults)
  • Preserve predecessor data while migration is being validated
  • Validate the complete document before commit
  • Write to a temporary sibling, flush as required, then atomically replace
  • Preserve the last known-good state when parsing or migration fails
  • Define in-process and cross-process coordination from the actual deployment model
4. External processes, when present
  • Argument arrays, never shell string concatenation with user-controlled values
  • Timeout + cancellation
  • Distinguish not-found vs started-but-failed
  • Document selection and fallback policy

Unavailable dependencies return a structured unavailable result without changing product state.

5. Dependency-backed adapters

Implement the ports defined in Phase B and test success, failure, cancellation, timeout, and partial-result cleanup with fakes or controlled integration fixtures.

Show full SKILL.md (169 more words)Show less
6. Secondary-surface API only

Use a narrow host interaction/window service for secondary surfaces; XAML belongs in Phase D.

7. Logging

Structured logging; bounded UI buffer with events after append; localize at display time.

Corrections seen in practice

  • Resolve optional dependencies according to documented product policy, not a universal search order.
  • Account for platform differences in process I/O, paths, permissions, and lifecycle when relevant.
  • Prefer portable implementations when cross-platform support is an explicit requirement.
  • Use one transaction boundary for one logical settings update.
  • Treat migration as validated best effort, not a promise of lossless conversion.
  • Do not silently change product defaults without an explicit decision.

Deliverables

  • Service interfaces + registration
  • Persisted-state store and migration story when persistence exists
  • Required platform adapters implemented; absent capabilities were not invented
  • Environment-dependent adapters covered with fakes or integration tests
  • Unsupported platform behavior is explicit and recoverable
  • Persisted writes are versioned, validated, and durable when persistence exists
  • No UI prompts or direct environment calls leak into the application core

Handoff

  • UI → wfa-avalonia-ui
  • Post-port product evolution -> wfa-post-port-evolve
