Shilp Sutra
For your AI editor

Your AI editor already knows shilp-sutra.

One install. Every release.

We ship an installable skill, an llms.txt router, a hosted MCP server, and AGENTS.md with every release so your coding agent doesn't guess at the library. Install once, never paste docs into chat again.

One install. Run this in your terminal.
bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devalok-design/shilp-sutra/main/skills/shilp-sutra/install.sh | bash

What ships in the box

Four files. Pick the one your tool reads.

Agent Skill
Anthropic-format installable skill. Ships every setup playbook, component reference, theming guide, and troubleshoot tree.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devalok-design/shilp-sutra/main/skills/shilp-sutra/install.sh | bash
llms.txt
The router index. Setup playbook, peer-dep matrix, breaking changes, design rules, and pointers into per-component docs. Inject this into any chat.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devalok-design/shilp-sutra/main/packages/core/llms.txt
Hosted MCP
Live Model Context Protocol server. Your agent queries the current component APIs, tokens, and upgrade guidance on demand, over MCP, with no files to sync.
https://shilp-sutra.devalok.in/mcp
AGENTS.md
Agent contract at the repo root. The rules every coding agent should follow when working on shilp-sutra or a consumer of it.
cat AGENTS.md
Not in an editor?

Building in claude.ai, ChatGPT, or Gemini? Point it here first.

Chat assistants have no editor to load the skill, so they fall back to shadcn or MUI answers that do not match this library. Give yours the orientation below, then let it read the MCP for the rest.

claude.ai / Claude Desktop
Connect the MCP directly for version-exact docs on demand, or add the chat skill.
claude mcp add --transport http shilp-sutra https://shilp-sutra.devalok.in/mcp
ChatGPT
Paste the instruction block into a Custom GPT or your Custom Instructions.
Gemini
Paste the instruction block into a Gem.
Why this exists
The library outpaces training data.

Coding agents trained pre-2026 hallucinate component APIs that never existed. Skill + llms.txt give your agent the current shape of the library, including what changed in the last release.

Spec
Built on the open standard.

The skill follows the agentskills.io specification. Any tool that adopts the standard reads our skill the same way.

Running now

Your agent can enter you into the buildathon.

Build with Shilp Sutra is open to everyone, solo or team, until 31 July, 11:59 PM IST. Build anything that runs on Shilp Sutra and solves a problem with real cause. The winner receives $15,000 worth of brand identity, GTM strategy, and ongoing support from Devalok. Once the MCP is connected, tell your agent to submit and it will collect your details, read them back, and file the entry after you confirm.
