motoko

Build, test, and maintain the Motoko compiler with AI guidance

Guides AI agents through building the Motoko compiler, running its test suites, and upgrading core toolchains. Removes guesswork around Nix builds, Rust nightly bumps, and pocket-ic server updates that normally require deep repo knowledge. Helps contributors verify compiler changes faster with correct test commands and troubleshooting steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install Motoko skills?▼

Run `npx skills add caffeinelabs/motoko --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

How to build the Motoko compiler with AI help?▼

The build-and-test skill tells your agent to load the Nix environment and run dune build from the src directory, then verify changes with the test-runner tool.

How to run Motoko compiler tests?▼

Your agent uses the test-runner command from the repo root with batch mode and name filters, and accepts updated expected outputs with the -a flag.

Can AI bump the Rust nightly toolchain safely?▼

Yes. A dedicated skill walks the agent through updating the nightly date, fixing the Nix hash, refreshing Cargo lockfiles, and validating the RTS build.

Do these skills work with Claude Code and other agents?▼

Yes. All skills follow the standard SKILL.md format and work in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other compatible AI coding agents.
