Demo Skill

Generate living demo documents proving features work, with showboat for Markdown assembly and rodney for browser screenshots.

Prerequisites

Requires two Go CLI tools:

go install github.com/simonw/showboat@latest
go install github.com/simonw/rodney@latest

Verify installation:

showboat --help
rodney --help

Rodney Chrome data directory

Rodney needs write access to the Chrome data directory at ~/.rodney. If you get Permission denied errors when running rodney start, fix it:

mkdir -p ~/.rodney && chmod 755 ~/.rodney

Usage

In pi, invoke via:

/skill:demo <feature-name> [--scenario <description>] [--plan <path>]

Or ask naturally:

  • "demo this"
  • "show me it works"
  • "create a demo"
  • "create a demo of the authentication flow"

How It Works

  1. Checks that showboat and rodney are installed
  2. Gathers feature context from plan files, recent commits, or your description
  3. Verifies the dev server is running
  4. Handles authentication (creates a demo user if needed)
  5. Captures backend evidence (tests, compilation, database state)
  6. Takes browser screenshots of UI pages
  7. Maps evidence to acceptance criteria
  8. Produces a standalone Markdown demo document in demos/

Demo Document Structure

  • Feature Overview — narrative description
  • Test Suite — relevant test output
  • Compilation Checkmix compile --warnings-as-errors
  • Database State — if relevant
  • UI Screenshots — static pages and interactive flows
  • Acceptance Criteria Verification — checklist with evidence references
