Neuron Nki Docs

What it does

When your agent uses it

• User asks what does <API do
• How to do <task
• What is error <code
• NKI <API signature

Example prompts

• “what does <API do”
• “how to do <task”
• “what is error <code”
• “/neuron-nki-docs”

Requirements

• Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Find relevant files through provided indices using Glob and Grep
2. 2Read and analyze document and code
3. 3Summarize findings with specific file references

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 999938a. 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 (its code samples are python).

  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

Neuron Nki Docs loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~276k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 713 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~81

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.9k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~276k

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

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.

description

Research NKI documentation for API lookups, tutorials, error codes, architecture, and optimization guides. Use when user asks "what does <API> do", "how to do <task>", "what is error <code>", "NKI <API> signature", "find NKI tutorial for <topic>", "look up <symbol>", or needs any NKI documentation reference.

argument-hint

[query or API name]

context

fork

import nki
import nki.language as nl
import nki.isa as nisa

# CORRECT: Use as op parameter
result = nisa.activation(op=nl.exp, data=tensor, scale=scale_tensor, bias=bias_tensor)

# INCORRECT: These are NOT callable functions
# result = nl.exp(tensor)  # This does NOT work
