sdl3

name: sdl3 description: SDL3 API reference and documentation. Use when working with SDL3, SDL3_image, SDL3_mixer, SDL3_ttf, or SDL3_net code. Provides function signatures, parameters, return values, remarks, code examples, and related functions. argument-hint: [function name or topic, e.g. SDL_CreateWindow] allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob

SDL3 Documentation Skill

You have access to the complete SDL3 wiki (4,890 API docs). Use progressive disclosure — start narrow, expand only as needed.

Lookup strategy (follow in order)

1. Specific function/type query → direct lookup

If the user asks about a known symbol (e.g. SDL_CreateWindow, IMG_Load):

1. Read lookup.md (in this skill directory) — find the symbol's category and one-line description
2. Read the full doc: docs/SDL3/<SymbolName>.md (or docs/SDL3_image/, SDL3_mixer/, etc.)
3. Present: signature, parameters, return value, key remarks, code example if available, see-also links

2. Topic/domain query → category drill-down

If the user asks about a topic (e.g. "how does audio work", "window management"):

1. Read index.md (in this skill directory) — find the matching category and its file path
2. Read the category file (e.g. docs/SDL3/CategoryAudio.md) — get the overview + full symbol list
3. Summarize the category, highlight the most relevant functions
4. Only read individual function docs if the user wants specifics

3. Fuzzy/unknown query → search

If you can't find it in lookup.md or index.md:

1. Grep for the term across docs/ — check function names, descriptions
2. Glob for docs/SDL3/*<term>*.md to find matching files
3. Read the best match

Response guidelines

• Lead with the function signature in a C code block
• Include parameter table and return value
• Mention thread safety and version if relevant
• Include code examples when available — these are high value
• Link to related functions the user likely needs next
• For broad topics, give an overview with the 3-5 most important functions before listing everything
