About

This skill helps developers create and update SKILL.md documentation by explaining when and how to build effective skills. It provides guidelines for structuring skill documentation with proper front matter and concise markdown content. Skills are designed to provide targeted context to coding agents only when needed, preventing unnecessary LLM context bloat.

Documentation

Skills are used to for context that may be useful to a coding agent, without bloating LLM context at times theyre not useful.

Skills are only worthwhile if the coding agent fails a task without the skill.

Skills live in /.skills, with each skill having its own directory.

SKILL.md

Front matter

  • Match the name to the directory name exactly.
  • Write the description as "Use when <scenario> - <what it does>" in under 30 words and third person.
  • Quote the description if it includes punctuation that could break YAML.

Markdown body

  • Write concise instructions for the skill topic.
  • Keep headings and bullet lists structured so readers can scan quickly.

Aditional files

Other files, like scripts or data, may live in the directory and be referenced by the skill.

AGENTS.md

A GitHub Action automatically regenerates the skills list in AGENTS.md.

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.
