sglang
MetaSGLang is a high-performance LLM serving framework that specializes in fast, structured generation for JSON, regex, and agentic workflows using its RadixAttention prefix caching. It delivers significantly faster inference, especially for tasks with repeated prefixes, making it ideal for complex, structured outputs and multi-turn conversations. Choose SGLang over alternatives like vLLM when you need constrained decoding or are building applications with extensive prefix sharing.
Algorithmic Art Generation
MetaThis skill helps developers create algorithmic art using p5.js, focusing on generative art, computational aesthetics, and interactive visualizations. It automatically activates for topics like "generative art" or "p5.js visualization" and guides you through creating unique algorithms with features like seeded randomness, flow fields, and particle systems. Use it when you need to build reproducible, code-driven artistic patterns.
business-rule-documentation
MetaThis skill provides standardized templates for systematically documenting business logic and domain knowledge following Domain-Driven Design principles. It helps developers capture business rules, process flows, decision trees, and terminology glossaries to maintain consistency between requirements and implementation. Use it when documenting domain models, creating business rule repositories, or bridging communication between business and technical teams.
huggingface-accelerate
DevelopmentHuggingFace Accelerate provides the simplest API for adding distributed training to PyTorch scripts with just 4 lines of code. It offers a unified interface for multiple distributed training frameworks like DeepSpeed, FSDP, and DDP while handling automatic device placement and mixed precision. This makes it ideal for developers who want to quickly scale their PyTorch training across multiple GPUs or nodes without complex configuration.
