What changed

Two interactions that carry the app, made simpler and faster.

Saving a skill was two round trips with a click wedged between them. Paste a GitHub URL, click "Find skills", wait, then click "Save to library" — where the middle click only ever meant "yes, that URL". A paste is a finished URL, so pasting one now starts the repository inspection on the spot and the network overlaps the seconds spent reading the dialog. Auto-inspection stays quiet when it fails — the button below still reports the error — and never retries the same entry, so a bad URL costs one request, not a loop. Paste is the only trigger: the submit button is the next focusable element in that dialog, so inspecting on blur would fire as the user reached for it, disable the button mid-click, and swallow the very error they asked for.

That needed a GitHub URL parser the browser could run, so parseGitHubUrl moved out of the server-only module into lib/github-url.ts alongside a non-throwing readGitHubUrl. One parser, both sides.

Discover had grown a second search field — same look as the shared one, none of its behaviour. No clear button, no Escape, no pending spinner, and a silent two-character floor that made one-character typing look broken. It now uses LiveSearchField with a minLength, which deletes the copy and levels the four listing surfaces on one interaction.

Two waits came out of that field. Enter commits the query immediately instead of serving out the rest of the debounce, and emptying the field reverts the results with no debounce at all. Both stand down while an IME composition is active, since Enter confirms a candidate and Escape cancels one.

Validation

  • pnpm check — typecheck clean, 464 unit tests pass (7 new, covering the extracted URL parser)
  • pnpm build — production build compiles, 160 static pages generated
  • Relevant manual flow tested — not run. The signed-in surfaces need Postgres and the authoring environment could not reach it (connect ETIMEDOUT on 5432), so paste-to-inspect and the clear/Escape/Enter shortcuts have never executed in a browser. The Vercel preview has a working database if someone wants to click through before merging.
  • Screenshots or recording added for visible UI changes — none; the changes are behavioural rather than visual, and the one layout change (Discover gains the shared clear button and spinner) matches the Library field already in main.

Impact

  • Documentation reflects behavior or configuration changes — no documented behaviour or configuration changes; the reasoning lives in the touched files' comments
  • Database and environment changes are called out — none
  • No secrets, personal data, or private skill content are included
  • A saved skill remains the team's own choice, not a security or compatibility certification

Review follow-ups

Three findings, all confirmed against the code and fixed on the branch:

Finding Fix
Blur-to-inspect swallowed the submit click and its error Blur trigger dropped — 9c21060
Enter/Escape broke IME composition on every listing search isComposing guard — 9c21060
A q below minLength stayed in the URL while results ignored it Compare against the raw URL value — 4a804c0

CodeRabbit's docstring-coverage check (38.89% against an 80% threshold) is left unmet on purpose: the touched functions carry prose comments explaining the interaction decisions, and adding JSDoc headers to clear a ratio would be padding rather than explanation.

Saving a skill was two round trips with a click wedged between them: paste a
GitHub URL, click "Find skills", wait, then click "Save to library". The middle
click only ever meant "yes, that URL". A paste is a finished URL, so pasting one
now starts the repository inspection on the spot and the network overlaps the
seconds spent reading the dialog instead of following a click. Tabbing out of a
typed URL does the same. Auto-inspection stays quiet when it fails — the button
below still reports the error — and it never retries the same entry twice, so a
bad URL costs one request, not a loop.

That needed a GitHub URL parser the browser could run, so parseGitHubUrl moved
out of the server-only module into lib/github-url.ts alongside a non-throwing
readGitHubUrl. One parser, both sides, covered by unit tests.

Discover had grown a second search field: same look as the shared one, none of
its behaviour. No clear button, no Escape, no pending spinner, and a silent
two-character floor. It now uses LiveSearchField with a minLength, which deletes
the copy and levels the four listing surfaces on one interaction.

While that field was open, two waits came out of it. Enter commits the query
immediately rather than serving out the rest of the debounce, and emptying the
field reverts the results with no debounce at all — there is nothing left to
wait for once the query is gone.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes GitHub URL parsing, updates shared live-search behavior, replaces discovery’s local search logic, and adds silent automatic inspection for valid repository URLs in the skill dialog.

Changes

Search and GitHub interaction flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared GitHub URL parsing contract
lib/github-url.ts, lib/github.ts, tests/github-url.test.mjs
Adds canonical GitHub URL parsing and a non-throwing reader. lib/github.ts re-exports the parser. Tests cover deep links, .git removal, invalid hosts, missing repositories, and whitespace.
Live search behavior and fallback
components/live-search-field.tsx
Adds configurable minimum query lengths, normalized commits, debounced non-empty searches, immediate clearing, Enter-key flushing, and a read-only fallback shell.
Search and repository input wiring
components/discover-filters.tsx, components/add-skill-dialog.tsx
Discovery uses LiveSearchField. The skill dialog silently inspects valid pasted or blurred GitHub URLs once per dialog session while preserving locked-dialog restrictions and manual error reporting.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 874e3

The shared search field can preserve a one-character URL query even though queries shorter than two characters are not valid, leaving Discover in a filtered state that does not match the visible input. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to remove short URL values.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with URLs tucked tight,
Parsing GitHub paths just right.
Search hops, waits, then clears the way,
Enter makes results leap today.
Silent checks inspect with care—
Fresh code grows in tidy air.

Comment thread components/live-search-field.tsx Outdated
The blur trigger on the repository URL field was worse than no trigger. The
submit button is the next focusable element in that dialog, so blurring to
inspect fired exactly as the user reached for it: the pending state disabled
the button mid-click, the click was swallowed, and a silent failure took the
error message with it — on the one path where the user had explicitly asked
for it. Paste is the only auto-inspect trigger now, which is the case that
was actually worth catching.

Enter and Escape in the search field now stand down while an IME composition
is active. Enter confirms a candidate and Escape cancels one; intercepting
either flushed a half-composed query and broke Japanese, Chinese and Korean
entry on every listing search.

The effect compared the field's canonical query against a canonicalised URL
value, so the two agreed in a case where they should not: /discover?q=a with a
two-character floor normalised both sides to the empty query and returned
early. The URL kept q=a while the results showed the leaderboard and the view
tabs highlighted nothing, because both of those read the raw parameter.

Comparing against the raw value instead rewrites the URL to match what the
field actually means. An untrimmed q gets the same treatment.
