Skill Instructions

This skill helps an agent write Rust code with the generated Ax package axllm. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.

When To Use

Start a generated-language Ax program from package docs or examples.
Translate the Ax mental model into the target package without TypeScript-only imports.
Choose the native package entrypoints for signatures, providers, generators, agents, flows, and optimizers.

Package Facts

Guardrails

Start from package examples for exact native syntax before inventing a new call shape.
Use provider-api examples only when the user explicitly has provider credentials available.
Use no-key examples for deterministic local checks and provider request mapping.
Treat AxIR as the source of generated package truth: if package docs disagree with source code, update the compiler and regenerate packages.
Do not copy repo-maintainer skills from tools/*/skills/ into user packages.
