Does this skill support linking to specific sections of an RFC?

Yes, it provides standardized OCamldoc templates for linking directly to specific sections, subsections, and appendices using the IETF datatracker URL structure.

Where does the skill store downloaded RFC files?

RFC files are automatically saved in plain text format within a 'spec/' directory at the root of your project to ensure they are available for local reference and validation.

Can it handle RFCs that have been updated or obsoleted?

Yes, the skill includes specific documentation patterns for noting when an implementation follows an RFC that obsoletes a previous version, ensuring your documentation remains historically accurate.

How does it help with protocol validation?

The skill follows a structured workflow: it reads the local RFC text, extracts key requirements (MUST, SHOULD, MAY), and compares them against your OCaml implementation to identify gaps or inconsistencies.

Learning & Documentation

Standardizes the retrieval, documentation, and implementation of IETF internet protocols within OCaml development workflows.

About

This skill equips Claude with specialized expertise for managing IETF RFCs in OCaml projects, ensuring strict protocol compliance and high-quality technical documentation. It automates the process of fetching RFC text files into a standardized project structure, provides precise OCamldoc citation templates for modules and functions, and facilitates the validation of code against official requirements like MUST, SHOULD, and MAY. It is particularly useful for developers building network protocols, security libraries, or data encodings that require rigorous adherence to established internet standards.

Key Features

Automated fetching of RFC plain text specifications into a local spec directory
Pre-configured documentation patterns for modules, types, and functions
Management of RFC versioning, including obsoletion and update tracking
10 GitHub stars
Standardized OCamldoc citation patterns for deep-linking to specific RFC sections
Requirement extraction and validation workflow for protocol compliance

Use Cases

Implementing new internet protocols or data formats based on IETF specifications
Adding comprehensive technical citations to existing OCaml library documentation
Auditing OCaml codebases to ensure implementation matches RFC security considerations
