AI Agent Skills
AfterLink ships a fully structured skills.sh-compatible skill configuration package updated for v2.0.2. This teaches AI coding assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) how to scaffold Protocol v2 framing, multi-worker clustering, and multi-language SDKs natively without API hallucinations.
What is a Skill?
A skill is a machine-readable technical instruction playbook. By injecting AfterLink's Protocol v2 16-byte header specification, @ajaymyth/cluster engine rules, Python/Dart SDK contracts, and Zod validation models directly into the AI's system prompt context, coding tools can create, audit, and debug AfterLink protocol layers with zero-defect accuracy.

What the Skill Book Covers
The skill blueprint instructs AI agents across the complete range of AfterLink v2.0.2 capabilities:
| Skill Chapter | Protocol Domain & Coverage details |
|---|---|
| Protocol v2 Framing | 16-byte fixed header layout, version negotiation (v1/v2), priority queues (0-7), 0-255 byte custom routing keys, ROUTE_REQUEST & PRIORITY_ACK frame types. |
| Node Clustering (@ajaymyth/cluster) | Redis-backed shared pub/sub routing, Redis Cluster slot support (v2.0.1+), worker crash detection, and SIGUSR2 rolling restarts. |
| Python SDK (afterlink) | Async server and client implementation, sync wrapper, type hints, and Pydantic schema validation. |
| Dart & Flutter SDK (afterlink) | Native TCP & web WebSocket transports via conditional compilation loaders, msgpack_dart serialization. |
| Metrics & Observability | Prometheus scrape endpoint configuration, Grafana JSON templates, and OpenTelemetry TracingManager with AsyncLocalStorage context propagation. |
| Decision Guide | When to deploy AfterLink binary TCP vs standard WebSockets, HTTP/2 or gRPC configurations. |
| Server Scaffolds | How to boot server nodes, assign routes, and declare Zod payload validation models. |
| Client Handshakes | Establishing client pipes, auto-reconnecting loops, and request/reply RPC actions. |
| Pub/Sub Broadcasting | Channel subscriptions, raw publishes, and multi-peer broadcast loops. |
| Secure TLS & JWT | Creating credentials via generateDevCerts() and securing URIs with JWT secrets. |
| Browser Bridge | Interfacing with standard web frontend elements using WebSocket fallback wrappers. |
| Diagnostics & CLI | API testing structures, CLI debuggers (afterlink ping/inspect), and common issue resolutions. |
Using with Claude / Cursor / Copilot
Once the skill package is installed inside your local repository configurations, you can prompt your editor agent with high-level goals:
The agent will automatically locate the skill guidelines, fetch correct API signatures, and write validated Node, Python, or Dart code.
