What it does

Skippy Serving is an agent skill from Mesh-LLM/mesh-llm. Use this skill when running, configuring, debugging, or embedding skippy-serving, binary stage transport, OpenAI frontend integration, activation wire dtype settings, stage configs, lifecycle status, or nonblocking telemetry.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 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 AI & LLM Engineering, covering Embeddings. It works with OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Distributed AI/LLM for the people. Share compute privately or publicly to power your agents and chat. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Embedding skippy-serving
  • Binary stage transport
  • OpenAI frontend integration
  • Activation wire dtype settings

Example prompts

  • “/skippy-serving”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 48bf685. 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:

    • cargo

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Skippy Serving loads about 380 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 100 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~380

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.

skippy-serving

Use this skill for skippy serving, embedded runtime lifecycle, and binary stage-to-stage transport.

Current Repo Shape

The mesh integration embeds skippy-serving through Rust APIs instead of launching it as mesh's public OpenAI surface. Public OpenAI compatibility belongs in skippy-inference-api; skippy-serving should remain the backend stage runtime.

Important crates:

text
skippy/crates/skippy-serving
skippy/crates/skippy-protocol
skippy/crates/skippy-runtime
mesh/crates/mesh-llm/src/inference/skippy

Validation

Run cargo commands serially:

bash
cargo check -p mesh-llm
cargo test -p skippy-serving --lib
cargo test -p skippy-protocol --lib
cargo test -p mesh-llm-host-runtime --lib inference::skippy

For lifecycle/status changes, also run:

bash
cargo test -p mesh-llm-host-runtime --lib

Rules

Do not reintroduce standalone kv-server or ngram-pool dependencies into mesh. Keep structured outputs, tools, logprobs, and /v1/responses compatibility in skippy-inference-api.

Stage status exposed by mesh should be backend-neutral at the API boundary. Backend-specific details can remain in internal skippy structs.
