At a glance

Design SDKs that developers love to use—APIs that feel native, error messages that guide, and experiences that reduce friction.

  • SKILL.md covers Detailed Guide, When to Use and Limitations
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

SDK Dx is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Design SDKs that developers love to use—APIs that feel native, error messages that guide, and experiences that reduce friction. This skill covers creating SDKs that drive adoption through exceptional developer experience rather than aggressive marketing.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md` and `references/detailed-guide.md`).

The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/sdk-dx”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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

SDK Dx loads about 472 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~472
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.7k

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.

SDK Design and Developer Experience

Detailed Guide

Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need design SDKs that developers love to use—APIs that feel native, error messages that guide, and experiences that reduce friction. This skill covers creating SDKs that drive adoption through exceptional developer experience rather than aggressive marketing. Trigger phrases: "SDK design",...

The best SDK marketing is an SDK that developers can't stop talking about. When your SDK makes developers feel productive and competent, they become your advocates. When it frustrates them, no amount of marketing will save you.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
  • Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
  • Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
