GitHub: mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills (188 stars)
Skills: 142 skills; top skills: cmake (1.4K), static-analysis (894), llvm (710)
Category: Development / Systems & Low-Level
First Seen: skills.sh Feb 20, 2026; catalogued in the Aug 31, 2026 sweep
Quality Tier: 🟡 Trusted - Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket Pass, but Snyk carries a warning on the top skill (see Security Audit Status)
A 142-skill suite of procedural guidance for low-level and systems programming, packaged for agents. The catalog is genuinely deep: build systems (CMake, Make, Ninja, Meson), compilers and toolchains (GCC, Clang, LLVM, cross-GCC, MSVC), debuggers (GDB, LLDB), dynamic analysis (Valgrind, sanitizers, heaptrack, fuzzing), performance (linux-perf, flamegraphs, CPU cache optimization, PGO, hardware counters), kernel-adjacent work (Linux kernel modules, eBPF, io-uring, AF_XDP, RDMA, DPDK), assembly (x86, ARM), Rust systems work (unsafe, FFI, sanitizers/Miri, cross-compilation, security), plus Zig, wasm, GPU (CUDA, HIP/ROCm, Triton), embedded (FreeRTOS, OpenOCD/JTAG), and language internals (interpreters, compilers, memory model, branch prediction).
The skills follow a uniform shape: purpose, triggers (example questions that should load the skill), and a numbered workflow - the same trigger-driven pattern Hermes skills use. Hot momentum is current: six skills (rust-cross, linux-perf, clang, compiler-optimizations-deep, zig-debugging, ebpf-rust) were on the skills.sh hot leaderboard during the Aug 31 sweep.
Installation¶
npx skills add mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills
Or per-skill:
npx skills add https://github.com/mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills --skill cmake
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Native toolchain | The relevant compiler/build tool for the target skill (gcc, clang, cargo, zig, cmake, etc.) |
| Linux | Most debugging and profiling skills assume Linux (perf, eBPF, Valgrind) |
| Node.js | Recent LTS for the npx skills installer |
Core Skills¶
| Skill | Installs | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| cmake | 1.4K | Modern target-first CMake: out-of-source builds, dependencies, generators, presets, CI/IDE integration |
| static-analysis | 894 | Running and interpreting static analyzers across languages |
| llvm | 710 | LLVM tooling: passes, IR, optimization pipeline |
| gdb | 621 | Interactive and scripted debugging with GDB |
| linux-perf | 517 | Perf profiling, counters, and flamegraph data collection |
| sanitizers | 513 | ASan, TSan, UBSan setup and triage |
| core-dumps | 512 | Core dump analysis and post-mortem debugging |
| clang | 495 | Clang-specific flags, diagnostics, and workflows |
| freertos | 483 | FreeRTOS tasks, scheduling, and embedded patterns |
| linux-kernel-modules | 467 | Building, loading, and debugging kernel modules |
Plus assembly-x86, assembly-arm, simd-intrinsics, cpu-cache-opt, memory-model, fuzzing, valgrind, flamegraphs, linkers-lto, binutils, strace-ltrace, dynamic-linking, ebpf, rust-unsafe, rust-ffi, rust-sanitizers-miri, zig-debugging, wasm-emscripten, cuda-debugging, io-uring, riscv-privileged, llvm-passes, mlir, dpdk, triton-lang, and 90+ more.
Security Audit Status (skills.sh, verified Aug 31, 2026)¶
| Skill | Gen Agent Trust Hub | Socket | Snyk |
|---|---|---|---|
| cmake | Pass | Pass | Warn |
Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket Pass; Snyk carries a warning - the reason this suite ships 🟡 Trusted rather than 🟢 Production.
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Worker-node debugging | The DGX Spark and worker nodes run native binaries, podman, and kernel-adjacent tooling - core dumps, perf, and eBPF skills map directly to that debugging surface |
| Rust and Zig tooling | CorpusIQ's Go/Rust/Python CLI tools get systems-level guidance (unsafe audits, FFI, cross-compilation) when performance work arises |
| Agent-build correctness | CMake, linkers, and sanitizer skills stop agents from guessing build flags when scaffolding native projects |
| Infrastructure forensics | strace-ltrace, flamegraphs, and cpu-cache-opt skills support real diagnosis on degraded nodes |
Limitations / Verification¶
- The top skill sits at 1.4K installs with a long tail below 500; the suite's value is breadth and structure rather than any single blockbuster skill.
- Snyk warning is named in the tier above.
- Skills are guidance, not binaries: the agent must have the underlying toolchain installed.
Verification after install:
npx skills add mohitmishra786/low-level-dev-skills --list # 142 skills discovered
