Rules for writing and reviewing GC-safe C++ code in the Hermes VM runtime. Use when writing, modifying, or reviewing C++ runtime VM code that uses internal Hermes VM APIs (as opposed to code using JSI). This includes working with GC-managed types (HermesValue, Handle, PinnedValue, JSObject, StringPrimitive, etc.), Locals, GCScope, PseudoHandle, CallResult, or any function with _RJS suffix. Typically in lib/VM/, include/hermes/VM/, API/hermes/, or API/napi/.

Guide for adding new JSI functionality to the JavaScript Interface (JSI) layer. Use when the user asks to add, create, or implement new methods or features in the JSI Runtime interface. Covers all required files across JSI core, Hermes implementation, and SynthTrace replay support.

This skill should be used when the user wants to analyze hermesvm binary size changes across a range of commits. Use when the user mentions "binary size", "size analysis", "size regression", "size increase", or asks to measure how commits affect the hermesvm library size.

Use when needing to reorder, split, drop, or amend git commits that are not the top commit, without interactive editor access. Covers programmatic rebase via GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR, commit splitting with automated hunk selection, and metadata changes (author, message, dates) on any commit in a range.

Guide for adding a new IR instruction to the Hermes compiler. Use when the user asks to add, create, or define a new IR instruction (Inst/Instruction) in the Hermes intermediate representation. Covers all required files and the patterns for each.
