QML authoring best practices for Serial Studio (Qt 6.11). An agent skill from Serial-Studio/Serial-Studio.

  • QML code is the primary subject: writing
  • SKILL.md covers How to apply this skill, Serial Studio conventions…, Rules (universal Qt 6) and Non-obvious pitfalls, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Debugging files under app/qml — components

What it does

Qt Qml is an agent skill from Serial-Studio/Serial-Studio. QML authoring best practices for Serial Studio (Qt 6.11). Use whenever QML code is the primary subject: writing, fixing, refactoring, optimizing, or debugging files under app/qml — components, bindings, layouts, delegates, animations. Corrects systematic LLM biases (versioned imports, anchors-in-layouts, binding-killing assignments) and encodes this repo's conventions: the Cpp surface, registry-driven icons/menus, the motion contract, and the dashboard widget pattern. Do NOT trigger for purely conversational QML…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k 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 Refactoring. It works with C++. The repository describes itself as: Open-source telemetry dashboard. Supports UART, BLE, MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus and more.

When your agent uses it

  • QML code is the primary subject: writing
  • Debugging files under app/qml — components
  • Purely conversational QML questions where no code is produced

Example prompts

  • “/qt-qml”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3657d2c. 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

Qt Qml loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 157 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,296 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~157
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,296 words (~2,911 tokens).

“Adapted for this repo from The Qt Company's qt-qml skill (v1.2, BSD-3-Clause).”
