About

This skill automatically activates when working with network protocols like HTTP, TCP, UDP, and QUIC. It provides instant access to eight specific sub-skills covering protocol fundamentals, debugging, and selection. Use it for quick reference on HTTP methods, TCP handshakes, HTTP/2 multiplexing, and other core networking concepts.

sglang

Meta

SGLang 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.

Testing

This Claude Skill provides a Playwright-based toolkit for testing local web applications through Python scripts. It enables frontend verification, UI debugging, screenshot capture, and log viewing while managing server lifecycles. Use it for browser automation tasks but run scripts directly rather than reading their source code to avoid context pollution.
