How this issue was made

Source

github.com/vercel/ai, branch main, last pushed 24 September 2026.

Licence

Other — the text of every skill is reproduced unmodified, frontmatter included, under the upstream licence.

Discovery

12 skills found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. One layout observed: skills/*/SKILL.md.

Issue colours

Resolved from the owner’s published design.md — hue 2°, chroma 0.190. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.

Heading repairs

None needed in the front matter: the outline was already valid.

Spec compliance

1 editorial note across 1 of 12 skills. They are printed in the margin of each skill rather than as errors here.

AI SDK — 1 note

Images

Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.

Signal

Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.

Agent surfaces

The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /vercel/ai.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.

Publication

Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
