Shields.io

Use this skill when you need to:

• build or edit Shields.io badge URLs
• choose common badge parameters such as style, label, colors, logos, cache lifetime, and click targets
• work with dynamic JSON, TOML, XML, or YAML badges
• check integration-specific notes for GitHub, Gitea, Sonar, Open Collective, or self-hosted Shields
• look up upgrade, security, or compatibility changes such as Simple Icons updates and the Dynamic JSON/TOML/YAML advisory
