Skill6 starsChanged 3 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Draw the layout of a memory or wire format that already exists in code — a byte anatomy of one encoded instance, the per-variant conventions of a shared encoding, or the linkage between blocks. Use when asked to "diagram the format", "show the byte layout", "draw the header", "picture the on-disk structure", "explain the encoding", or when a format reference, design record, or pull request needs a figure of a structure a reader cannot hold in their head. Beta — the conventions come from one format in one repository, so record friction and confirmation through `engineering-journal`. Symptoms that this skill applies: a byte grid drawn by hand from a specification, a figure whose offsets no longer match the encoder, a byte grid routed through a graph layout engine, a figure that cannot say whether it shows what ships or what is planned, or a figure that looks right in a browser and breaks in the rasterizer that publishes it.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
