Agents: Add a defensive data design skill and route to the copy guide by ramonjd · Pull Request #81131 · WordPress/gutenberg

ramonjd · 2026-08-04T06:54:17Z

What

Adds a task-scoped agent skill for defensive data design, and two entries to the root AGENTS.md.

.agents/skills/defensive-data-design/SKILL.md (new) — checks grouped by the kind of work they apply to: errors the user sees, mutations and destructive actions, legibility, and reading data you did not create.
AGENTS.md — a Progressive discovery pointer to docs/contributors/documentation/copy-guide.md, and a Common pitfalls entry on the shapes a rejected apiFetch can take.

Why

Implements the direction set out in Defensive Data Design on the core development blog: as agents do more of the work, make the defaults as safe as possible.

The maxims in that post are not pasted in verbatim, deliberately. docs/contributors/code/agents-and-skills.md sets out where guidance belongs: public documentation first, the root AGENTS.md only for facts nearly every task needs, and a skill for guidance scoped to a kind of task. Aspirational prose in a file loaded into every session costs context and gives an agent no decision procedure. So the maxims are translated into checks, and the checks live in a skill that is read only when the task matches.

The checks are drawn from defects in trunk rather than from taste. Two that shaped the wording:

packages/core-data/src/footnotes/index.js parses meta.footnotes with no try/catch and no Array.isArray, and is reached from inside a registry.subscribe callback — so a throw escapes every React error boundary and the user's edit is dropped with no signal. Hence the checks on shape-checking at a boundary and on where a throw lands.
Interpolating a rejected apiFetch into a template string produced Saving failed. [object Object] in the site editor. That was fixed in Core Data: saveDirtyEntities: improve messaging of server errors #81151 while this PR was open, and the ensureError helper it added is now cited from the AGENTS.md entry as the reference implementation.

docs/contributors/documentation/copy-guide.md has covered error-message wording for years, but AGENTS.md pointed only at docs/contributors/code/, so agents never saw it. Hence the pointer.

Note on scope

The Snackbar constraints live in the skill only, not in AGENTS.md. They were considered for Common pitfalls and left out: agents-and-skills.md requires agent files to route to canonical guidance rather than fork it, and the constraints are already stated where the work that needs them happens. For the same reason the apiFetch rejection shapes are stated once in AGENTS.md and referenced from the skill, not repeated.

No character limit is given for snackbar text. The six-second auto-dismiss is stated instead, along with explicitDismiss for anything that has to be read, because a specific character count would need a source.

This PR adds guidance only. It changes no production code and fixes none of the defects cited above.

Testing instructions

Documentation only, so there is nothing to exercise in the editor.

Both changed files are clean under ./node_modules/.bin/markdownlint --config .markdownlint.json and ./node_modules/.bin/prettier --check. Note that npm run lint:md:docs does not pass on trunk — it reports around 7,000 pre-existing violations across the repository and is not wired into CI — so it is not a useful gate here.
Run npm run agents:setup (or npm install, which does it) and start a new agent session. Confirm defensive-data-design appears in the skill catalog alongside testing.
Confirm the skill triggers on a matching task, for example asking an agent to add an error notice, and that it does not trigger on unrelated work.

We might want to cover a few areas in the post that I don't necessarily see handled here:

Draft/propose easy; publishing hard
Make underlying data legible
Show information directly when space permits

Made some suggestions, let's keep iterating and involve more people, I feel like we could use some variety in interpretations to make this more precise, concise, but still wholesome.

+-   Confirm dialogs echo what is affected: the item's title, or the count for bulk actions.
+-   Irreversible confirms use `isDestructive` on the confirm button and say so in the label ("Delete permanently", not "Delete"). Follow the [destructive actions pattern](../../../storybook/stories/design-system/patterns/destructive-actions.mdx).
+-   A mutation that succeeds silently is not visible. Announce it, and offer Undo when the prior value is in scope — capture the old value explicitly rather than popping the undo stack, which would also revert unrelated edits.
+-   `Snackbar` renders exactly **one** action; more logs a warning and truncates to `actions[0]` (`packages/components/src/snackbar/index.tsx`). Choose between Undo and any other button.


I almost wonder if we should put a rough character limit on the snackbar notices. This came up with this longer snackbar message and how it disappeared before one could reasonably read it in full: #81123

A suggested limit would be helpful, might be different for different locales though. Something like "Keep it on one line?"

Rethinking this: maybe agents isn't the right place for a character limit since it applies to anyone writing a notice. Another one for docs/contributors/documentation/copy-guide.md under "Error Messaging" or something?

Add a task-scoped skill for work that can lose someone's work or leave them stuck: user-facing errors and notices, destructive actions, and code that reads data it did not create. The body is checks rather than principles, and routes to the existing canonical guidance instead of forking it: the copy guide's Error Messaging section and the destructive actions design pattern. Several checks come from defects in trunk: the plain-object shape apiFetch rejects with, unguarded JSON.parse of post meta, and throws that escape React error boundaries because they happen in a store subscriber.

Add two entries to the root AGENTS.md. Progressive discovery pointed only at docs/contributors/code/, so the copy guide in docs/contributors/documentation/ was invisible to agents even though it holds the guidance on wording errors and user-facing strings. The pitfall records that apiFetch rejects with a plain object rather than an Error. Interpolating that value is what produces "Saving failed. [object Object]" in the site editor, and the same assumption breaks error handling in the abilities layer. Drop the equivalent line from the defensive data design skill so the fact has one home and the two files cannot drift.

Both claims were stated as absolutes and both are wrong. A rejected apiFetch is only a plain object for a parsed REST error. With parse: false it rejects with the Response, an aborted request rethrows an AbortError, and setFetchHandler lets a caller reject anything. List the cases so the advice does not push agents into dereferencing message on a value that has none. editEntityRecord is not the only core-data action that touches the undo manager: __unstableCreateUndoLevel calls addRecord too, and editEntityRecord skips it under undoIgnore. State the save and delete behaviour instead, which is the part that decides whether a recovery path is needed. Condense the untrusted data section to the two checks specific to this codebase. The section opened by asking for suspicion of everything, which invites guards that add noise without adding safety; scope it to the boundary where data enters and name block attributes as already covered by parse-time validation. Fold the PHP consequence into the shape-check bullet and drop the generic busy-state advice.

Three claims did not survive review. Telling agents to read message and code off a rejected apiFetch breaks on the parse: false case, where the rejection is a Response carrying status and no message, so following the rule produced an empty notice. Say to normalise the rejection first and to keep copy of your own for when it has no message, and point at ensureError in core-data as the reference implementation, noting it is local to that file rather than exported. Block attributes are not fully validated on parse. The type check only substitutes the declared default for a parsed value, and both the blocks.getBlockAttributes filter and updateBlockAttributes run after or around it without re-checking, so a wrongly typed attribute still reaches save functions and PHP. Describe where the hole is instead of claiming there is none. Separate the two PHP failure modes, which have different severities: a foreach over a non-iterable warns and continues, while a non-scalar array offset throws and takes the page down for every visitor.

Review found three of the post's points unrepresented. Publishing to the world being harder than proposing a draft had no line at all. Add one asking for the target, the audience and the resulting state to be shown before a consequential mutation, and for the draft or private option to be the default. Reversibility was only implicit in the undo and undo-stack bullets. State it as the frame for the section, and rename the section so it is not only about destruction. Legibility gets its own section: render the value rather than a label that flattens it, and treat a display that hides a qualifier as stating something untrue. Both examples are real, a password-protected post reading as "Published" and a customised template reading as the theme's. Also ask for failures to carry copyable detail where there is room, with the redaction rules that go with it.

Restore the failure-recovery guidance in a broader form than the line that was cut: keep the user's input, restore consistent state, release controls left busy, and make a second attempt safe. The cut version only covered clearing busy state, which read as generic advice. Snackbars dismiss themselves six seconds after appearing, which is how a long message ends up unreadable in practice. Say so, and point at explicitDismiss for anything that has to be read. No character limit, since a specific number would need a source. Link React's error boundary documentation from the bullet about where a throw lands.

Read as if copy were being retained rather than substituted.

The previous wording drew the line between foreach and array offsets, which is not where PHP draws it. Verified on 8.4.8: foreach over a non-iterable and reading an offset on null, an int, a bool or a float all warn and yield null, while a string offset on a string, an array or object used as an offset, and an object treated as an array are fatal. That matters because the shape most malformed data actually takes is a null in the middle of a chain, which degrades quietly. The old wording implied any wrongly typed read took the page down, which would send readers to guard the harmless case and possibly skip the fatal one.

This feels like a good place to begin to me! Nice work creating granular instructions here 👍

Also confirming the skill is available for me locally after checking this out:

It'll be interesting to see how this feels in usage. Good idea adding the link to https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/trunk/docs/contributors/documentation/copy-guide.md in the AGENTS.md, that seems to cover off a lot, and could be a good place to iterate as well.

LGTM to try for now!

The legibility bullet packed a rule and two examples into one sentence joined by "or ... both", and led with what fails rather than what to do. Split it: a positive rule, then the examples as sub-points. Replace cost and cheaper with easy and hard. The post's own wording, "putting something in the trash should be easy; deleting should be very hard", says the thing directly, where an economic metaphor made the reader translate it first.

Cuts the body from 873 to 772 words with no change to what it asks for. The two densest bullets become a rule plus sub-points, the same treatment the legibility bullet just had: the PHP one was a two-category taxonomy written as prose, and the snackbar one carried three separate rules in a single sentence. The rest is padding. Openers that restated the bullet, justification sentences that repeated the rule, and filler in phrases like "make a second attempt safe to make". Every link, identifier and reviewer-requested check is still present.

Thanks again, folks.

I'll mark this for merge. Ready to do any follow ups that come along 👍🏻

I'll get a separate PR up for the "Plain language, make it obvious, natural. (And also fun.)" changes to the docs/contributors/documentation/copy-guide.md source.
