Read guide first about the best practices for Agent Skills: references/The-Complete-Guide-to-Building-Skill-for-Claude.md.

Capability 1: Updating link lists in fetch skills

The defold-api-fetch, defold-docs-fetch, and defold-examples-fetch skills contain hardcoded link tables. These tables should be kept in sync with the official Defold index files.

Index sources

API index: https://defold.com/llms/apis.md — links to per-namespace API Markdown files
Manuals index: https://defold.com/llms/manuals.md — links to per-manual Markdown files
Examples index: https://defold.com/llms/examples.md — links to per-example Markdown files

Procedure: update link lists

Fetch the relevant index page(s) by downloading the URL content.
Parse the Markdown content. Each index page contains links in the form [Title](url) grouped by sections.
Compare parsed links against the current SKILL.md of the target skill.
Update the SKILL.md link tables to match the index, preserving the table structure and the ## Usage footer section.

Target skill files

.agents/skills/defold-api-fetch/SKILL.md — updated from apis.md
.agents/skills/defold-docs-fetch/SKILL.md — updated from manuals.md
.agents/skills/defold-examples-fetch/SKILL.md — updated from examples.md

Rules

Keep the YAML frontmatter (--- block) unchanged.
Keep the intro line Fetch documentation from the links below (the URLs point to plain Markdown files). unchanged.
Keep the ## Usage section at the bottom unchanged.
Replace the link tables between frontmatter and Usage section with the parsed content from the index.
Preserve section grouping and table formatting style that already exists in each skill.
