API and Commands Reference

This page provides a complete API and commands reference for Agent Skills, including build toolchain commands, TypeScript type definitions, SKILL.md template format, and impact level enum values.

TypeScript Type Definitions

ImpactLevel

Impact levels identify the performance impact of rules, with 6 levels:

ValueDescriptionUse Cases
CRITICALCritical bottleneckMust fix, severely impacts user experience (e.g., waterfall requests, unoptimized bundle size)
HIGHSignificant improvementMajor performance gains (e.g., server-side caching, duplicate props elimination)
MEDIUM-HIGHMedium-high priorityNoticeable performance gains (e.g., data fetching optimization)
MEDIUMMedium improvementMeasurable performance gains (e.g., Memo optimization, reduced Re-render)
LOW-MEDIUMLow-medium priorityMinor performance gains (e.g., rendering optimization)
LOWIncremental improvementMicro-optimizations (e.g., code style, advanced patterns)

pnpm dev

Development workflow (build + validate).

Command:

bash
pnpm dev

  1. Execute pnpm build
  2. Execute pnpm validate
  3. Ensure rule format is correct during development

Use cases:

  • Validate after writing new rules
  • Check completeness after modifying rules
