What it does

Lat Md is an agent skill from vercel-labs/vercel-openclaw-archived, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Writing and maintaining lat.md documentation files — structured markdown that describes a project's architecture, design decisions, and test specs. Use when creating, editing, or reviewing files in the lat.md/ directory.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Architecture decision records. The repository describes itself as: Deploy OpenClaw on Vercel. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Example prompts

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d592f7b. 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 markdown, python, typescript and yaml).
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

Lat Md loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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.

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.

lat.md Authoring Guide

This skill covers the syntax, structure rules, and conventions for writing lat.md/ files. Load it whenever you need to create or edit sections in the lat.md/ directory.

What belongs in lat.md

lat.md/ files describe what the project does and why — domain concepts, key design decisions, business logic, and test specifications. They do NOT duplicate source code. Think of each section as an anchor that source code references back to.

Good candidates for sections:

Architecture decisions and their rationale
Domain concepts and business rules
API contracts and protocols
Test specifications (what is tested and why)
Non-obvious constraints or invariants

Bad candidates:

Step-by-step code walkthroughs (the code itself is the walkthrough)
Auto-generated API docs (use tools for that)
Temporary notes or TODOs

Section structure

Every section must have a leading paragraph — at least one sentence immediately after the heading, before any child headings or other block content.

The first paragraph must be ≤250 characters (excluding [[wiki link]] content). This paragraph is the section's identity — it appears in search results, command output, and RAG context.

markdown

# Good Section

Brief overview of what this section documents and why it matters.

More detail can go in subsequent paragraphs, code blocks, or lists.

## Child heading

Details about this child topic.

markdown

# Bad Section

## Child heading

This is invalid — "Bad Section" has no leading paragraph.

lat check enforces this rule.

Section IDs

Sections are addressed by file path and heading chain:

Full form: lat.md/path/to/file#Heading#SubHeading
Short form: file#Heading#SubHeading (when the file stem is unique)

Examples: lat.md/tests/search#RAG Replay Tests, cli#init, parser#Wiki Links.

Wiki links

Cross-reference other sections or source code with [[target]] or [[target|alias]].

Section links

markdown

See [[cli#init]] for setup details.
The parser validates [[parser#Wiki Links|wiki link syntax]].

Source code links

Reference functions, classes, constants, and methods in source files:

markdown

[[src/config.ts#getConfigDir]]          — function
[[src/server.ts#App#listen]]            — class method
[[lib/utils.py#parse_args]]             — Python function
[[src/lib.rs#Greeter#greet]]            — Rust impl method
[[src/app.go#Greeter#Greet]]            — Go method
[[src/app.h#Greeter]]                   — C struct

lat check validates that all targets exist.

Code refs

Tie source code back to lat.md/ sections with @lat: comments:

typescript

// @lat: [[cli#init]]
export function init() { ... }

python

# @lat: [[cli#init]]
def init():
    ...

Supported comment styles: // (JS/TS/Rust/Go/C) and # (Python).

Place one @lat: comment per section, at the relevant code — not at the top of the file.

Test specs

Describe tests as sections in lat.md/ files. Add frontmatter to require that every leaf section has a matching @lat: comment in test code:

markdown

---
lat:
  require-code-mention: true
---
# Tests

Authentication test specifications.

## User login

Verify credential validation and error handling.

### Rejects expired tokens

Tokens past their expiry timestamp are rejected with 401, even if otherwise valid.

### Handles missing password

Login request without a password field returns 400 with a descriptive error.

Each test references its spec:

python

# @lat: [[tests#User login#Rejects expired tokens]]
def test_rejects_expired_tokens():
    ...

Rules:

Every leaf section under require-code-mention: true must be referenced by exactly one @lat: comment
Every section MUST have a description — at least one sentence explaining what the test verifies and why
lat check flags unreferenced specs and dangling code refs

Frontmatter

Optional YAML frontmatter at the top of lat.md/ files:

yaml

---
lat:
  require-code-mention: true
---

Currently the only supported field is require-code-mention for test spec enforcement.

Validation

Always run lat check after editing lat.md/ files. It validates:

All wiki links point to existing sections or source code symbols
All @lat: code refs point to existing sections
Every section has a leading paragraph (≤250 chars)
All require-code-mention leaf sections are referenced in code
