Claude-skill-registry detecting-agent-environment

Utilities and patterns for detecting execution environment (CI/CD vs local, network access, available ports, timeouts). Use when you need to adapt scripts or workflows based on where the agent is running, or when creating helper scripts that need environment-aware behavior.

install

source · Clone the upstream repo

git clone https://github.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry

Agent Helper Scripts

Utilities for GitHub Copilot agents working on Y-Not Radio site.

Environment Detection

Use

detect-environment.sh

to adapt scripts to different environments:

# Source the utility
source bin/agent-helpers/detect-environment.sh

# Print environment info
print_environment

# Check environment
if detect_ci; then
  echo "Running in CI/CD"
  # Use optimized workflow
fi

if ! detect_network; then
  echo "Network restricted - cannot pull packages"
  exit 1
fi

# Get appropriate timeout
TIMEOUT=$(get_timeout "service_ready")
timeout $TIMEOUT bash -c 'until service_ready; do sleep 5; done'

Creating New Helper Scripts

When creating helper scripts:

Source environment detection

source "$(dirname "$0")/detect-environment.sh"
print_environment

Use appropriate timeouts

TIMEOUT=$(get_timeout "npm_install")
timeout $TIMEOUT npm install

Provide clear output

echo "✅ Success message"
echo "⚠️  Warning message"
echo "❌ Error message"

Exit with proper codes

exit 0  # Success
exit 1  # Failure

Log to .agent-tmp/

mkdir -p .agent-tmp
command 2>&1 | tee .agent-tmp/command.log

Performance Baselines

Scripts should respect these baselines:

Operation	Expected	Warning	Failure
Container start	< 60s	60-120s	> 120s
npm install	< 120s	120-300s	> 300s
Service ready	< 180s	180-360s	> 360s

If exceeding "Warning" thresholds, report performance issues in PR.
