Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
karpathy-wiki-capture
Capture-authoring protocol for the main agent. Read on demand when a TRIGGER fires (per `using-karpathy-wiki/SKILL.md`). Defines how to format a capture, how to invoke `bin/wiki capture`, body-size floors, and the subagent-report workflow.
skills/karpathy-wiki-capture/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
karpathy-wiki-doctor
Detached doctor only. Whole-wiki census: tests, schema, tags, frontmatter, related, rewrite jobs. Does not rewrite page bodies. Launched by wiki doctor or when doctor cadence is due. Main agent never loads this.
skills/karpathy-wiki-doctor/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
karpathy-wiki-ingest
Detached ingester only. One capture: orient, augment the object page when the index already clusters it, complete. Main agent never loads this.
skills/karpathy-wiki-ingest/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
karpathy-wiki-read
Read protocol for the main agent. Load on demand when answering ANY user question (per Iron Rule 4 in `using-karpathy-wiki/SKILL.md`). Defines the deterministic 6-step orientation ladder for finding wiki coverage of a question, when to inline-read vs spawn an Explore subagent vs fall through to web search, and the cite contract every wiki-grounded answer must satisfy.
skills/karpathy-wiki-read/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
using-karpathy-wiki
Auto-loaded by the SessionStart hook. Defines when to capture and routes the main agent or detached ingester to the appropriate on-demand skill.
skills/using-karpathy-wiki/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)
No skill matches that filter.
Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
