Ivy

Master skill for building applications with the Ivy Framework.

Pre-flight: Read Learnings

If the file .ivy/learnings/ivy.md exists in the project directory, read it first and apply any lessons learned from previous runs of this skill.

Reference Files

• references/AGENTS.md -- Ivy framework API reference (widgets, hooks, layouts, inputs, colors)

Read the AGENTS.md reference for any direct implementation work. For specialized tasks, delegate to the appropriate skill below.

Ivy CLI

Use the ivy CLI for documentation lookups and framework questions:

Scenario	Command
You know the topic and want the full reference page	ivy docs <path>
You need to browse what documentation exists	ivy docs list
You have a "how do I..." question and need a synthesized answer	ivy ask "your question"
You need to understand an existing connection's schema	ivy cli explain connections/<ConnectionName>

Skill Router

When the user's request matches a specialized task, delegate to the appropriate skill instead of implementing from scratch.

Direct Implementation

If the user's request does not match any specialized skill above -- for example, modifying existing views, fixing bugs, adding features to existing apps, or general Ivy development -- implement it directly using the AGENTS.md reference and the ivy CLI for documentation.

Post-run: Evaluate and Improve

After completing the task:

1. Evaluate: Did the build succeed? Were there compilation errors, unexpected behavior, or manual corrections needed during this run?
2. Update learnings: If anything required correction or was surprising, append a concise entry to .ivy/learnings/ivy.md (create the file and .ivy/learnings/ directory if they don't exist). Each entry should note: the date, what went wrong, why, and what to do differently next time.
3. Skip if clean: If everything succeeded without issues, do not update the learnings file.
