What it does
Gnome SDK Docs is an agent skill from ranfdev/DistroShelf. Browse GNOME SDK documentation including GObject Introspection (.gir) files, D-Bus interfaces or icons that can be useful for GNOME apps development.
Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Bash. The repository describes itself as: gtk4 client for https://distrobox.it. The licence is GPL-3.0.
Example prompts
- “/gnome-sdk-docs”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b85cb0. 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
Gnome SDK Docs loads about 544 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Browsing GNOME SDK Documentation
This skill provides access to various GNOME SDK resources for development purposes.
GObject Introspection Files
GObject Introspection (.gir) files are XML files describing the API of GNOME libraries. They are located at /usr/share/gir-1.0/.
The libraries used by this project and their corresponding files:
/usr/share/gir-1.0/Gtk-4.0.gir/usr/share/gir-1.0/Adw-1.gir/usr/share/gir-1.0/Gio-2.0.gir/usr/share/gir-1.0/GLib-2.0.gir/usr/share/gir-1.0/GObject-2.0.gir/usr/share/gir-1.0/Soup-3.0.gir
These files are large XML documents. Use the grep tool to search for specific class names, method names, property names, or signal names rather than reading entire files. Examples:
- To find a class: use
grepwith pattern<class name="Button"in the relevant.girfile. - To find a method: use
grepwith pattern<method name="set_label". - To find properties of a class: use
grepwith pattern<property name=near the class definition. - To find signals: use
grepwith pattern<glib:signal name=.
D-Bus Interfaces
D-Bus interface definitions are XML files describing D-Bus services and their methods, signals, and properties. They are located at /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/.
Use the grep tool to search for specific interface names, method names, or signal names. Example:
- To find an interface: use
grepwith pattern<interface name="org.freedesktop.portal.Notification"in the relevant interface file.
Icons
GNOME icons are stored in /usr/share/icons/. This directory contains icon themes like Adwaita, with icons in various sizes and formats.
Use the bash tool with ls or the ls tool to browse available icons by theme and size. Examples:
- List themes: use
bashwithls /usr/share/icons/ - List icons in a theme: use
bashwithls /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/
Remember to use symbolic-icons for UI elements, unless showing the icon of a specific app
