/popcorn:export — Export from Popcorn

Downloads the latest (or a specific version of) site files from a Popcorn channel into the local project. The inverse of /popcorn:pop.

This command should "just work" — resolve the channel, handle safety checks, and extract files automatically.

Step 1: Ensure CLI is ready

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/popcorn/setup.sh"

The last line is JSON: {"cli":true/false,"auth":true/false,"mcp":true/false}.

• If cli and auth are both true → proceed.
• Otherwise → stop and tell the user what failed. There is no MCP fallback for export.

Step 2: Resolve target channel

Same resolution logic as /popcorn:pop:

1. User specified a target

A #channel-name or bare name after /export → use it directly.

2. Check for existing deploy targets

POPCORN_AGENT=1 popcorn site targets

If there's a default target, use it. Tell the user: "Exporting from #<site_name>."

If multiple targets, list them and ask which one.

3. No targets found

Tell the user: "No linked channel found. Provide a channel name (e.g. #my-app), or run /popcorn:pop first to link a channel."

Step 3: Extract parameters

From the user's free-form text (everything after /export), infer:

• target channel — a #channel-name or bare name
• version — a specific version number or commit hash, if the user mentioned one (optional)

Examples:

/popcorn:export                              → default target, latest version
/popcorn:export #my-app                      → pull from #my-app
/popcorn:export v3                           → default target, version 3
/popcorn:export #my-app v3                   → pull from #my-app, version 3
/popcorn:export the version before dark mode → ask user to clarify version

Step 4: Safety check

Check for uncommitted changes:

git status --porcelain 2>/dev/null

If there are uncommitted changes, warn the user: "You have uncommitted changes. The export will back up current files to .popcorn-backup/. Continue?" If they decline, stop. If they confirm, proceed with --force.

If no uncommitted changes or not a git repo, proceed normally.

Step 5: Export

POPCORN_AGENT=1 popcorn site export '#<channel-name>' [--version VERSION] --force

Parse the response envelope:

• Success: {"ok": true, "data": {"version": 5, "commit_hash": "abc123", "backup": ".popcorn-backup"}}
• Error: exit code non-zero, {"ok": false, "error": "..."} on stderr

Step 6: Report result

• Success: "Exported #<site_name> v<version> into the project. Backup at .popcorn-backup/."
• Show what changed: Run git status --short or git diff --stat to show the user what files were added/modified.
• Revert option: "To undo, run popcorn site export --revert."
• Failure: Report the error and suggest fixes.
