What does the discover-plt skill do?

It acts as a gateway that automatically detects when you are working on language theory tasks and suggests or loads relevant specialized skills like Lambda Calculus or Operational Semantics.

What is progressive loading?

It is a context-saving method where the gateway skill loads first, providing an index and allowing you to load only the specific sub-skills you need for your current task.

How do I activate this skill?

The skill auto-activates when Claude detects keywords or file types related to compilers, parsers, interpreters, or LLVM.

What sub-skills are included in this package?

It includes 13 specialized skills covering dependent types, program verification, structure editors, and various foundational calculus models.

Can I use this for LLVM development?

Yes, this skill is specifically designed to support LLVM workflows, bytecode manipulation, and intermediate representation tasks.

Developer Tools

Automatically identifies and activates advanced Programming Language Theory (PLT) skills during compiler and interpreter development.

About

The discover-plt skill optimizes Claude's capabilities for high-level computer science by automatically detecting work on compilers, parsers, and type systems. It implements a progressive loading framework that provides access to 13 specialized sub-skills, ranging from Lambda Calculus foundations to Hazelnut Calculus and Program Verification. This ensures Claude uses domain-specific best practices and mathematically rigorous implementation patterns for programming language design, AST manipulation, and LLVM-based development.
