What it does

API Stability is an agent skill from ROCm/FlyDSL. Review a FlyDSL PR, commit, branch, kernel, or consuming module for API-stability compliance. Detect breaking changes to stable APIs, usage of unstable FlyDSL APIs, and direct upstream MLIR dialect operations. Use when asked to review API compatibility, a stable-API change, or whether a kernel/module uses only stable APIs.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k 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 Python. The repository describes itself as: FlyDSL is the Python front‑end of the project: a Flexible Layout Python DSL for expressing tiling, partitioning, data movement, and kernel structure at a high level.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to review API compatibility
  • A stable-API change
  • Whether a kernel/module uses only stable APIs

Example prompts

  • “/api-stability”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Producer review: PR, commit, or branch
  2. Consumer review: kernel or FlyDSL-using module

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1941889. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Bash
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • git
    • rg
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

API Stability loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,423 words (~3,235 tokens).
