zig-project SKILL.md skillA
zig-project from majiayu000/spellbook is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add majiayu000/spellbook/zig-project@git:20260523.d39dd11Pins git:20260523.d39dd11 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Modern Zig project architecture guide. Use when creating Zig projects (systems programming, CLI tools, game dev, high-performance services). Covers explicit allocators, comptime, error handling, and build system.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Zig Project Architecture
## Core Principles
- **No hidden behavior** — No hidden allocations, no hidden control flow, no macros
- **Explicit allocators** — Pass allocator as parameter, never use global allocator
- **Comptime over macros** — Use comptime for generics and metaprogramming
- **Error unions** — Use `!T` for explicit error handling, avoid `anyerror`
- **defer/errdefer** — Resource cleanup at scope exit
- **No backwards compatibility** — Delete, don't deprecate. Change directly
- **LiteLLM for LLM APIs** — Use LiteLLM proxy for all LLM integrations
---
## No Backwards Compatibility
> **Delete unused code. Change directly. No compatibility layers.**
```zig
// ❌ BAD: Deprecated function kept around
/// Deprecated: Use newFunction instead
pub fn oldFunction() void {
@compileLog("oldFunction is deprecated");
newFunction();
}
// ❌ BAD: Alias for renamed functions
pub const old_name = new_name; // "for backwards compatibility"
// ❌ BAD: Unused parameters
fn process(_: *const Config, data: []const u8) !void {
_ = data;
}
// ✅ GOOD: Just delete and update all usages
pub fn newFunction() void {
// ...
}
// ✅ GOOD: Remove unused parameters entirely

How to install
mdr add majiayu000/spellbook/zig-project@sha256:fd80f42ae73d582aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260523.d39dd11, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
