Modal Docs
Use this skill when a task depends on current Modal APIs or when existing
code may rely on stale pre-1.0 patterns. Open the smallest relevant doc set
first instead of crawling the full corpus.
Workflow
- Pick the closest domain below before changing code.
- Read the linked guide/reference pages and prefer current APIs over memory.
- If the task smells like a migration, open the migration/deprecation docs
before choosing a fix.
- Expand to adjacent references only when the first page does not answer the
task.
Reference Groups
Images and build-time artifacts
Use for image construction, dependency installation, and stale build-time patterns that now need image-based replacements.
Local files and Python source
Use for add_local_*, add_local_python_source, file staging, and Mount-to-image migrations.
Deployed objects and cross-app lookup
Use for app wiring, deployed object discovery, and looking up functions or classes across apps.
Volumes and persistence
Use for persisted files, cache state, Volume attachment semantics, and commit/reload behavior.
Web endpoints and app wiring
Use for endpoint decorators, request handling, and wiring deployed apps to HTTP entrypoints.
Migration and deprecations
Use when snippets mention deprecated Modal APIs such as Mount, copy_local_*, older lifecycle hooks, or outdated lookup patterns.
