Dasel v3 query patterns for InstallAnywhere .iap_xml installer definitions — use when querying action sequences, discovering variables, resolving platform conditions, navigating panels, or comparing installer variants. Files are 2.5+ MB, 65,000+ lines — too large for context reads, requires structural dasel queries.

InstallAnywhere .iap_xml Query Patterns

<when_to_use>

Load this skill when working with any .iap_xml file — auditing install actions, listing file copy operations, discovering variables, finding platform-specific branches, or comparing two installer variants (e.g., RA vs NON_RA builds).

</when_to_use>

Operational Constraints

  • Always pass -i xml explicitly — auto-detection fails on .iap_xml extensions
  • Write all intermediate results to /tmp/ — never to the source tree
  • Files are 2.5–2.6 MB, 65,000+ lines — use structural dasel queries, never read the file into context

Root Structure

InstallAnywhere .iap_xml files have a fixed root path: InstallAnywhere.project.

bash
# Top-level element names at the document root
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'keys($this)'

# Navigate to the install action sequence
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'InstallAnywhere.project.installSequence'

# Children of the project node
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'InstallAnywhere.project.keys($this)'

Recursive descent — finds elements at any depth without knowing the full path:

bash
# All elements named "action" at any depth
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..action'

# All elements named "panel" at any depth
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..panel'

# Any node at any depth where a specific attribute exists
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'search(has("-name"))'

..elementName descends recursively. search(predicate) matches nodes at any depth.

Action Sequence Analysis

bash
# All action names in execution order
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..action.map("-name")'

# All action types
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..action.map("-type")'

# Count all action elements
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'len(..action)'

# Write for analysis
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..action.map("-name")' > /tmp/action_names.txt
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..action.map("-type")' > /tmp/action_types.txt

Variable Discovery

bash
# All variable definitions
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..variable.map("-name")' > /tmp/installer_vars.txt

Platform Conditions

bash
# All platform conditions (Windows vs Linux branches)
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'search(has("-platform")).map("-platform")' > /tmp/platforms.txt

Cross-Variant Comparison

When comparing two builds of the same installer (e.g., RA vs NON_RA, Windows vs Linux variant):

bash
# Compare action sets between two installer files
dasel -f installer_a.iap_xml -i xml '..action.map("-name")' | sort > /tmp/actions_a.txt
dasel -f installer_b.iap_xml -i xml '..action.map("-name")' | sort > /tmp/actions_b.txt
diff /tmp/actions_a.txt /tmp/actions_b.txt > /tmp/installer_diff.txt

# Compare panel sets
dasel -f installer_a.iap_xml -i xml '..panel.map("-name")' | sort > /tmp/panels_a.txt
dasel -f installer_b.iap_xml -i xml '..panel.map("-name")' | sort > /tmp/panels_b.txt
diff /tmp/panels_a.txt /tmp/panels_b.txt

File Copy Operations

bash
# All file copy sources
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..installFile.map("-source")' > /tmp/file_copies.txt

Panel Navigation

bash
# Panel names and count
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..panel.map("-name")'
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'len(..panel)'

Attribute Syntax Reference

XML attributes use - prefix in dasel friendly mode:

bash
# Access specific attribute on first match
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..action[0].-name'

# Discover attributes and children of a node
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..action[0].keys($this)'

# Extract attribute values across all matching nodes
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml '..elementName.map("-attributeName")'

# Count matching elements
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'len(..elementName)'

# Search with attribute predicate at any depth
dasel -f installer.iap_xml -i xml 'search(has("-attributeName"))'

ccc

This skill should be used when code search is needed (whether explicitly requested or as part of completing a task), when indexing the codebase after changes, or when the user asks about ccc, cocoindex-code, or the codebase index. Trigger phrases include 'search the codebase', 'find code related to', 'update the index', 'ccc', 'cocoindex-code'.

agent-browser

Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.

delegate

Quick delegation template for sub-agent prompts. Use when assigning work to a sub-agent, before invoking the Agent tool, or when preparing prompts for specialized agents. Provides the WHERE-WHAT-WHY framework. For comprehensive delegation guidance, activate the agent-orchestration how-to-delegate skill.

design-anti-patterns

Enforce anti-AI UI design rules based on the Uncodixfy methodology. Use when generating HTML, CSS, React, Vue, Svelte, or any frontend UI code. Prevents "Codex UI" — the generic AI aesthetic of soft gradients, floating panels, oversized rounded corners, glassmorphism, hero sections in dashboards, and decorative copy. Applies constraints from Linear/Raycast/Stripe/GitHub design philosophy: functional, honest, human-designed interfaces. Triggers on: UI generation, dashboard building, frontend component creation, CSS styling, landing page design, or any task producing visual interface code.
