What it does

Compiler Pipeline Internals is an agent skill from inkline/inkline. The Inkline compiler's end-to-end pipeline — parse → IR → analyze → per-target codegen → print — including the IR contracts, reactivity tracking, target rewrite rules, plugin hooks, the two compile paths, and known sharp edges. Use for any core/ work, or when reviewing it.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding. The repository describes itself as: Inkline is the intuitive UI Components library that gives you a developer-friendly foundation for building high-quality, accessible, and customizable Vue.js 3 Design Systems.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Project scaffolding

Example prompts

  • “/compiler-pipeline-internals”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. IR_VERSION bumps on any breaking IR-node shape change + a migration for serialized caches. Skipping the bump silently corrupts incremental…
  2. SymbolTable is frozen after P4. No symbol minting inside emit functions — diagnostics and codegen rely on it.
  3. Per-pass purity — never stash data on IR nodes between passes; use PassContext.
  4. Diagnostics never throw. User errors surface as Diagnostic via ctx.pushDiagnostic (registry: core/diagnostics/codes.ts, INK0001–INK0120)…
  5. A new IR node touches every target's emit — silent omissions surface as missing output. New authoring primitives need P2 binding + P3…
  6. Emitted output has zero @inkline/core imports. The runtime-free promise is the product.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4da55a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Compiler Pipeline Internals loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 723 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 723 words (~1,868 tokens).

“Passes are Pass units (pipeline/types.ts), driven by pipeline/compile.ts (compile, compileIncremental). Passes are pure on their inputs; mutable state lives only on PassContext.”
