| description | Root skill that groups the Windows platform sub-skills used in this project. This is a router: it lists the sub-skills and tells the agent which one to load for the task at hand (Windows API discovery). Use when a Windows platform task matches one of those areas; then load the matching sub-skill's SKILL.md. |
Windows — Root Skill
This is a root (grouping) skill. It has no standalone procedure; its job is
to route to the right sub-skill. See .agents/rules/skills.md for the sub-skill
structure.
How to use this skill
- Read this file to choose the matching sub-skill from the table below.
- Load that sub-skill's
SKILL.md at sub-skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
- Apply it as a first-class skill (follow its instructions and resources).
- Load only the sub-skill(s) the current task needs (context budget), not
all of them.
Sub-skills
| Sub-skill | Path | Use when |
|---|
| WinMD API Search | sub-skills/winmd-api-search/SKILL.md | Finding or exploring Windows desktop APIs — camera, file access, notifications, UI controls, AI/ML, sensors, networking. Retrieves full type details from a local WinMD metadata cache. |
| WASAPI development | sub-skills/wasapi-development/SKILL.md | Developing audio apps using the Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI). Design, implement, review, debug, and optimize Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) and Core Audio code on Windows 10/11. |
Project context
The Windows subsystem covers the platform layer of the visualizer (WinUI 3
client plus the Windows/C++ rendering). Use winmd-api-search when a feature
needs a platform capability and you must discover the right API or confirm
exact type/member signatures before writing code. Its scripts generate a local
WinMD cache; run Update-WinMdCache.ps1 before first use.
