Creating Letta Code channels
Use this when adding or debugging Letta Code channel support.
First choice
- User plugin (
~/.letta/channels/<id>/) for headless experiments, community plugins, and fast workflow tests. - First-party channel (
src/channels/<id>/) when the channel needs bespoke Desktop UI, custom account snapshots, Slack/Discord-style auto-routing, rich protocol fields, or migration/compatibility shims.
User plugins cannot shadow first-party ids: telegram, slack, and discord are ignored under ~/.letta/channels/. Use ids like telegram-test, whatsapp-community, or custom-chat.
Core workflow
- Work in
~/letta/letta-codeor a worktree. - Read
src/channels/README.mdon branches with dynamic plugins. - For a user plugin, create:
~/.letta/channels/<id>/channel.json~/.letta/channels/<id>/plugin.mjs~/.letta/channels/<id>/accounts.json

206video-processing
Guide for video analysis and frame-level event detection tasks using OpenCV and similar libraries. This skill should be used when detecting events in videos (jumps, movements, gestures), extracting frames, analyzing motion patterns, or implementing computer vision algorithms on video data. It provides verification strategies and helps avoid common pitfalls in video processing workflows.
189letta-api-client

127portfolio-optimization
Guidance for implementing high-performance portfolio optimization using Python C extensions. This skill applies when tasks require optimizing financial computations (matrix operations, covariance calculations, portfolio risk metrics) by implementing C extensions for Python. Use when performance speedup requirements exist (e.g., 1.2x or greater) and the task involves numerical computations on large datasets (thousands of assets).
