How to configure on a Mark1?

[maglub]

Hi,

I am trying to get this working, but I am perhaps a bit too new to the config.

I have tried the following:

• SSH to mark1.local

msm install https://github.com/forslund/cmd_skill

And now, I am stuck... I have no idea what to configure and how?

pi@mark_1:~/skills/cmd_skill.forslund $ ls -al
total 80
drwxr-xr-x  7 mycroft mycroft  4096 May 10 08:04 .
drwxrwxrwx 40 mycroft mycroft  4096 May 10 07:58 ..
drwxr-xr-x  8 mycroft mycroft  4096 May 10 07:58 .git
-rw-r--r--  1 mycroft mycroft     6 May 10 07:58 .gitignore
-rw-r--r--  1 mycroft mycroft 35147 May 10 07:58 LICENSE.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 mycroft mycroft   676 May 10 07:58 README.md
-rw-r--r--  1 mycroft mycroft  1863 May 10 07:58 __init__.py
drwxr-xr-x  2 mycroft mycroft  4096 May 10 07:58 __pycache__
drwxr-xr-x  3 mycroft mycroft  4096 May 10 07:58 dialog
drwxr-xr-x  3 mycroft mycroft  4096 May 10 07:58 regex
-rw-r--r--  1 mycroft mycroft    35 May 10 08:00 settings.json
drwxr-xr-x  3 mycroft mycroft  4096 May 10 07:58 vocab

In my cmd_skill directory there is a settings.json file, which contains the following:

pi@mark_1:~/skills/cmd_skill.forslund $ cat settings.json 
{"__mycroft_skill_firstrun": false}

I created a script, which should put the date into /tmp/magnus.out

pi@mark_1:~/skills/cmd_skill.forslund $ cat /home/forslund/scripts/generate_report.sh 
#!/bin/bash

date >> /tmp/magnus.out

What would my next step be, so that I can tell mycroft to run the skill?

Hi,

This is quite an old skill (created before settings.json was a thing) so it uses the mycroft.conf for configuration.

mycroft.conf is located under /home/mycroft/.mycroft on the mark-1 to edit it you need to switch user to the mycroft user:

sudo su mycroft

then use nano (or an editor of your choice) to edit /home/mycroft/.mycroft/mycroft.conf

It usually looks like this when first opening:

{
  "max_allowed_core_version": 19.2
}

Then add the skill config to the structure as provided in the readme. example:

{
  "max_allowed_core_version": 19.2,
  "CmdSkill": {
      "alias": {
        "generate report": "/home/forslund/scripts/generate_report.sh"
      }
  }
}

Note the added , after the 19.2. json is very strict on these kinds of things.

I've started on modernizing the skill to allow using the settings.json and maybe even home.mycroft.ai's skill settings.

Thanks a lot for the pointers!
