curl smoke tests

Use this skill when the task needs a repeatable shell workflow.

Workflow

1. Confirm the target folder, URL, file pattern, and expected output.
2. Use the shell tool with either cwd or cd <dir> && ... when work must happen in another folder.
3. Use curl for HTTP checks and grep or rg for focused matching.
4. Keep reusable command sequences in scripts/ so future runs stay deterministic.
5. Report the exact command that ran and the meaningful output or failure.

Bundled Helpers

• scripts/run.sh is a starter wrapper for cd plus curl or text matching checks.
• references/commands.md contains copyable command patterns for cd, curl, grep, and rg.

Notes

• Prefer rg over grep -R for repo searches when available.
• Use curl -fsSL for smoke tests so HTTP failures do not look successful.
