  • Working on Rust code in radicle-httpd
  • SKILL.md covers heartwood (../heartwood), radicle-git (../radicle-git), radicle-job (../radicle-job) and RIPs — protocol specs (../rips), plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Radicle Ecosystem is an agent skill from radicle-dev/radicle-explorer. Map of the sibling Radicle repositories that radicle-httpd depends on (heartwood, radicle-git, radicle-job, rips, radicle.dev), with the key crates and files to read in each. Use when working on Rust code in radicle-httpd, when you need protocol or domain context, or when a type comes from a crate outside this repo.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Git workflow. It works with Git and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Radicle web interface (mirror). The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on Rust code in radicle-httpd
  • You need protocol
  • A type comes from a crate outside this repo

Example prompts

  • “/radicle-ecosystem”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 244c571. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Radicle Ecosystem loads about 574 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~574

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.

Radicle ecosystem (sibling repos)

radicle-httpd depends on crates from sibling repositories. Read source from these paths when working on Rust code.

heartwood (../heartwood)

Core Radicle protocol implementation. Key crates used by httpd:

  • radicle — standard library (storage, identity, COBs, git, node)
  • radicle-cob — collaborative objects (issues, patches as CRDTs)
  • radicle-crypto — Ed25519 signing, SSH key handling
  • radicle-core — fundamental types (RepoId, etc.)

Key files:

  • ../heartwood/HACKING.md — development guide, environment variables
  • ../heartwood/ARCHITECTURE.md — high-level architecture
  • ../heartwood/crates/radicle/src/lib.rs — main library entry point

radicle-git (../radicle-git)

Git library wrappers. Key crate:

  • radicle-surf — code browsing (files, diffs, commits, branches, tags). This is what httpd uses to serve repository content.

Key file: ../radicle-git/radicle-surf/src/lib.rs

radicle-job (../radicle-job)

Decentralized job execution (CI/CD) on the Radicle network. Key file: ../radicle-job/README.md

RIPs — protocol specs (../rips)

  • ../rips/0001-heartwood.md — protocol overview
  • ../rips/0002-identity.md — identity system (DIDs, Ed25519)
  • ../rips/0003-storage-layout.md — git storage layout

Radicle documentation (../radicle.dev)

Read these when you need domain context for UI work:

  • ../radicle.dev/_guides/user.md — end-to-end user workflows (init, clone, seed, issues, patches, code review, private repos)
  • ../radicle.dev/_guides/protocol.md — protocol internals (gossip, replication, identity documents, COB data model, trust)
  • ../radicle.dev/_guides/seeder.md — seed node operation (seeding policies, httpd setup, DNS-SD)
  • ../radicle.dev/_posts/2025-07-23-using-radicle-ci-for-development.md — CI integration
  • ../radicle.dev/_posts/2025-08-12-canonical-references.md — canonical refs design
