From 93daeebe0ea2f17b39e2f1ab66521f8bdf934db3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Walz Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:43:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] refactor: replace npx-first onboarding with agent-native fetch flow MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Agents are always online — they don't need CLI installs. Rewrite the entire onboarding story around WebFetch: llms.txt tells agents what to do, humans just copy one prompt or drop an AGENTS.md into their repo. Key changes: - llms.txt: pure agent instructions (fetch index, fetch skills, prefer skills over general knowledge) — no npx, no skills listing - Get Started: three tiers — paste prompt, add AGENTS.md, use CLI - Browse: single hero CTA button that copies the agent prompt - Skill pages: use SiteLayout for consistent header, remove SkillHeader - New /AGENTS.md endpoint: downloadable agent instructions file - Remove search from browse page (agents search via index.json) - Remove fetch URLs from skill cards (humans don't need them) - Mobile overflow fixes across all pages --- src/components/BrowseTab.tsx | 116 +++++++------------ src/components/GetStartedTab.tsx | 140 ++++++++++++++++++----- src/components/SkillHeader.tsx | 168 ---------------------------- src/data/constants.ts | 2 +- src/layouts/SiteLayout.astro | 8 +- src/pages/404.astro | 2 +- src/pages/AGENTS.md.ts | 25 +++++ src/pages/get-started/index.astro | 3 +- src/pages/how-it-works/index.astro | 25 +++-- src/pages/llms.txt.ts | 31 ++--- src/pages/skills/[slug]/index.astro | 109 ++++++++++-------- src/styles/global.css | 17 +-- 12 files changed, 279 insertions(+), 367 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 src/components/SkillHeader.tsx create mode 100644 src/pages/AGENTS.md.ts diff --git a/src/components/BrowseTab.tsx b/src/components/BrowseTab.tsx index 435b0b2..f1961f7 100644 --- a/src/components/BrowseTab.tsx +++ b/src/components/BrowseTab.tsx @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ interface Props { export default function BrowseTab({ skills }: Props) { const [activeCategory, setActiveCategory] = useState("All"); - const [searchQuery, setSearchQuery] = useState(""); + const [copied, setCopied] = useState(false); const [origin, setOrigin] = useState(""); useEffect(() => { setOrigin(window.location.origin); }, []); @@ -19,13 +19,13 @@ export default function BrowseTab({ skills }: Props) { [skills] ); const filtered = useMemo(() => { - const query = searchQuery.toLowerCase(); return skills.filter((s) => { - const matchCat = activeCategory === "All" || s.category === activeCategory; - const matchSearch = s.title.toLowerCase().includes(query) || s.description.toLowerCase().includes(query); - return matchCat && matchSearch; + return activeCategory === "All" || s.category === activeCategory; }); - }, [searchQuery, activeCategory, skills]); + }, [activeCategory, skills]); + + const siteOrigin = origin || "https://skills.internetcomputer.org"; + const prompt = `Fetch ${siteOrigin}/llms.txt and follow its instructions when building on ICP`; return ( <> @@ -36,53 +36,44 @@ export default function BrowseTab({ skills }: Props) { lineHeight: 1.1, margin: "0 0 16px 0", letterSpacing: "-2px", color: "var(--text-primary)", }}> - ICP skills for agents that write code + ICP skills for agents that write code.
