How do I activate the Zig discovery skill?

It activates automatically when Claude Code detects Zig-related files like build.zig, .zon files, or .zig source files in your workspace.

Why does this skill use progressive loading?

Progressive loading saves token context by providing a high-level overview first and only loading detailed documentation when you need to perform specific deep-dive tasks.

What specific Zig topics does this skill cover?

It covers the build system, C interop, memory management (allocators), package management (ZON), testing, and initial project setup.

Can I load specific Zig sub-skills manually?

Yes, you can manually load individual modules like zig-c-interop or zig-memory-management using standard bash commands provided in the gateway skill.

Developer Tools

Facilitates seamless Zig programming by automatically activating comprehensive skills for systems programming, memory management, and build configurations.

The discover-zig skill acts as an intelligent gateway for Claude Code, automatically detecting Zig projects to provide domain-specific expertise. It implements a progressive loading system that grants access to specialized modules for the Zig build system, C interoperability, manual memory management with allocators, and the ZON package manager. This ensures the AI provides high-context guidance for low-level systems engineering while maintaining context efficiency by only loading deeper documentation when necessary.
