Skills Overview

nethercore (console-agnostic)

• development - nether CLI, nether.toml manifest, determinism rules
• testing - sync testing, replay testing, benchmarking
• optimization - WASM, texture, mesh, audio size reduction
• publishing - ROM packaging, platform upload, CI/CD workflows

zx (ZX console-specific)

• ffi-reference - 250+ FFI functions for rendering, input, audio
• console-specs - 960x540 resolution, 16MB ROM, 4MB RAM/VRAM
• rendering - Cameras, stencil effects, particles, custom fonts

For a complete catalog of skills, agents, and their trigger keywords:

• nethercore/INDEX.md — 5 skills, 2 agents
• zx/INDEX.md — 3 skills

Asset Generation

For procedural asset generation, use speccade (separate repository).

Architecture

• nethercore handles all console-agnostic platform tooling
• zx (and future consoles) contain console-specific FFI and specs
• All consoles share the same WASM core, so determinism is universal

Skills follow the SKILL.md open standard for cross-platform compatibility.
