Instruction:
## Skills
A skill is a set of local instructions to follow that is stored in a `SKILL.md` file. Below is the list of skills that can be used. Each entry includes a name, description, and file path so you can open the source for full instructions when using a specific skill.
### Available skills
- skill-creator: Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Codex's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations. (file: /home/ubuntu/.codex/skills/.system/skill-creator/SKILL.md)
- skill-installer: Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos). (file: /home/ubuntu/.codex/skills/.system/skill-installer/SKILL.md)
### How to use skills
- Discovery: The list above is the skills available in this session (name + description + file path). Skill bodies live on disk at the listed paths.
- Trigger rules: If the user names a skill (with `$SkillName` or plain text) OR the task clearly matches a skill's description shown above, you must use that skill for that turn. Multiple mentions mean use them all. Do not carry skills across turns unless re-mentioned.
- Missing/blocked: If a named skill isn't in the list or the path can't be read, say so briefly and continue with the best fallback.
- How to use a skill (progressive disclosure):
  1) After deciding to use a skill, open its `SKILL.md`. Read only enough to follow the workflow.
  2) If `SKILL.md` points to extra folders such as `references/`, load only the specific files needed for the request; don't bulk-load everything.
  3) If `scripts/` exist, prefer running or patching them instead of retyping large code blocks.
  4) If `assets/` or templates exist, reuse them instead of recreating from scratch.
- Coordination and sequencing:
  - If multiple skills apply, choose the minimal set that covers the request and state the order you'll use them.
  - Announce which skill(s) you're using and why (one short line). If you skip an obvious skill, say why.
- Context hygiene:
  - Keep context small: summarize long sections instead of pasting them; only load extra files when needed.
  - Avoid deep reference-chasing: prefer opening only files directly linked from `SKILL.md` unless you're blocked.
  - When variants exist (frameworks, providers, domains), pick only the relevant reference file(s) and note that choice.
- Safety and fallback: If a skill can't be applied cleanly (missing files, unclear instructions), state the issue, pick the next-best approach, and continue.

**Planning git actions**

I want to make sure that I’m avoiding any destructive actions here. Even though there’s a request to push, I’ll proceed carefully. Maybe creating a backup branch is a good idea, but it might not be necessary. I'll inspect `git lfs` and check the remote, looking out for any credential errors. If needed, I could switch to SSH or HTTPS. I think starting with a plan and initial inspection commands in parallel would be best!

**Inspecting database existence**

I'm planning to check if the database exists in the commits. I need to use the command `git log --all -- podcast_discovery.db` to inspect it. This approach should help me find out whether the database is present or not. There's a lot to consider when dealing with version control and files. I'll make sure to carry out this step carefully to avoid any mistakes!

**Troubleshooting printf commands**

I'm noticing that the printf commands failed because the format string begins with `---`, which some implementations interpret as an option. However, I remember that printf in bash doesn’t actually take options like that. I can fix it by using `printf '%s\n' '--- ... ---'` to make it safe. Looking at the .gitignore, I see that it's set to ignore the backups and *.csv files, but the db file at the root is still staged. I'll rerun the inspection.

**Resolving Git Cache Issue**

It seems that the `git rm --cached` command failed because the staged content differs from the working tree and HEAD. To fix this, I'll run `git rm --cached -f podcast_discovery.db` to force the removal while keeping the file in the working tree. After that, I’ll proceed with adding the changes. This approach should resolve the situation and allow me to move forward effectively!

**Checking gitignore conflicts**

I see that my `.gitignore` now ignores the database file, but the earlier version didn’t mention it. Could there be a global gitignore at play here? Hm, I should verify this by using `git check-ignore -v podcast_discovery.db` to find out where that ignore rule is coming from. Okay, let's run that command and see what it reveals. That should help clarify the situation!

**Updating ignore patterns**

I'm realizing that the user wants to track certain database files, but I see that the `.gitignore` is currently set to ignore them. To resolve this, I can either remove the `*.db` ignore rule or add an exception for specific files like `!podcast_discovery.db`. It seems wise to maintain existing ignore patterns for other databases while allowing the necessary ones through. I'll make sure any exceptions come after the ignore rules.


**Modifying .gitignore for tracking**

The user mentioned wanting to track database files with Git LFS, so I'll remove the ignores for those files while possibly keeping other ignore patterns intact. It's probably smart to patch the `.gitignore` to stop ignoring `.db` and `.sqlite` files. I'm also considering if we should track large CSV files with LFS, but since the user didn't request that, I'll leave it as is. I'll patch lines 8-10 and keep the comment for clarity.

**Setting up .gitignore and LFS**

I need to add my changes and stage the .gitignore file too. I also want to make sure that podcast_discovery.db exists in my working tree. Even after running `rm --cached`, it's still untracked but present, so I should add it using LFS. After that, I’ll rerun `git add` and check the pointer to ensure everything's set correctly. It feels like I'm making good progress!

**Ensuring clean git history**

Alright, I need to commit changes and push. Before that, I want to make sure there are no large blobs in the git history index. My staged pointer is small, but I need to check if there's a blob in the history. If the remote already rejected it, that’s good, but I still want to confirm. I'll quickly run the command to check for the largest objects in the current history to be sure.


set -euo pipefail

# List any blobs >= 100MB reachable from current refs (these would break GitHub)
# Note: this can take a bit on large repos, but should be manageable here.
threshold=$((100*1024*1024))

git rev-list --objects --all \
  | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectsize) %(rest)' \
  | awk -v t="$threshold" '$1=="blob" && $2>=t {print}' \
  | sort -k2,2nr \
  | head -n 20 || true


Output:
Exit code: 0
Wall time: 0 seconds
Output:
blob 407883776 podcast_discovery.db


**Checking blob reachability**

I need to check if a particular blob is reachable from the current HEAD on the `master` branch. I'll use the command `git rev-list --objects HEAD` with batch-check to verify this. It seems straightforward, but I want to ensure that I execute it correctly. It’s important to double-check my steps to avoid any potential errors in this process. Alright, let’s get started!


set -euo pipefail
threshold=$((100*1024*1024))

git rev-list --objects HEAD \
  | git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectsize) %(rest)' \
  | awk -v t="$threshold" '$1=="blob" && $2>=t {print}' \
  | sort -k2,2nr \
  | head -n 20 || true

# show what refs contain the big blob's commit(s)
blob_oid=$(git rev-list --objects --all | awk '$2=="podcast_discovery.db" {print $1; exit}')

echo

echo "blob oid: ${blob_oid:-<none>}"
if [ -n "${blob_oid:-}" ]; then
  echo '--- sample commits containing this blob via path ---'
  git log --oneline --decorate --all -- podcast_discovery.db | head -n 30 || true
fi


Output:
Exit code: 0
Wall time: 0 seconds

**Considering Git LFS Commit**

I see that the blob isn’t reachable from the master, so I shouldn’t pack it, but sometimes Git may still pack reachable objects. I’ll need to commit the new changes first, like .gitattributes and .gitignore, possibly with a message like “Track DB with Git LFS.” I also have to push and ensure that the remote has LFS enabled, which I know GitHub does. The LFS objects might be around 400MB, but I think I can manage that. I'll check using `git lfs status` before committing.

**Pushing changes to the repository**

I’m gearing up to push my changes, aiming for a successful upload using `git push origin master`. Since I have full access, I hope it works smoothly, but I'm considering that it might fail due to authentication issues. There might be a need for a token, but I'm not worried; I’ll figure it out if that happens. Let's see how this goes!

**Verifying Git Status**

I'm making sure the push succeeded by checking remote tracking and LFS (Large File Storage). I'll run `git status -sb` to see the status in a short format, followed by `git lfs ls-files` to list files being tracked by LFS. Then, I might check `git lfs status` to confirm everything looks clean. I'm curious to ensure everything went smoothly!

Output: Plan updated


Fixed and pushed with Git LFS.

- Updated `.gitattributes` to LFS-track `*.db`, `*.sqlite`, `*.sqlite3`.
- Updated `.gitignore` to stop ignoring DB files (so they can be committed via LFS).
- Re-staged `podcast_discovery.db` so it’s an LFS pointer (not a 400MB git blob), committed, and `git push origin master` succeeded (uploaded 408MB LFS object).

If you want to clean leftover pre-rewrite refs locally (optional): `git update-ref -d refs/original/refs/heads/master && git gc`.
