TanStack Intent: A tool for shipping versioned Agent Skills alongside npm packages
By
@tannerlinsley
Summary
TanStack Intent is a new alpha tool that allows npm package maintainers to generate, validate, publish, and track "Agent Skills" alongside their libraries. These skills are versioned, discoverable procedural knowledge files that AI agents can load directly from node_modules, ensuring agents have current, context-aware instructions rather than relying on stale model memory. The tool includes scaffolding, validation, and registry features, and has already gained significant traction with over 617K total downloads.
