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
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> |

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:
- Evaluate: Did the build succeed? Were there compilation errors, unexpected behavior, or manual corrections needed during this run?
- 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.
- Skip if clean: If everything succeeded without issues, do not update the learnings file.
