Summary

Adds the dspy expert skill — a comprehensive Agent Skills format skill for programming (not prompting) language models with Stanford's DSPy framework. Optimized through 3 greenfield SkillOpt epochs.

12 files: 1 SKILL.md, 7 references, 3 templates, 1 script

Epoch 1 — Prominence

Hard-gate callout: DSPy is NOT a chain framework
Core Paradigm section with runnable code example
Differentiated from LangChain/LlamaIndex early in the skill

Epoch 2 — Decision Guidance

Framework Routing Guide (DSPy vs LlamaIndex vs LangChain vs LangGraph vs Haystack vs CrewAI)
Where to Start table mapping entry points
Troubleshooting table with reference links

Epoch 3 — Pattern Expansion

Optimizer selection cheat sheet from official DSPy docs
Caching guide (DSP_CACHEDIR vs DSPY_CACHEDIR)
Compilation cost management
FAQ covering paradigm confusion, errors, deployment

References

Core Modules, Optimizer Guide, Program Patterns, Evaluation, Compilation Guide, Agent Patterns, FAQ & Troubleshooting

Templates

Classification, RAG Program, Multi-Step Reasoning

Scripts

check-setup.py — verify DSPy installation

feat: add dspy — expert skill for compiled prompt programs 95046675bc

Greenfield SkillOpt: 3 epochs for a Stanford DSPy compiler skill.
DSPy is a fundamentally different paradigm from chain/RAG frameworks.

Epoch 1 — Prominence:
- Hard-gate blockquote: 'DSPy is NOT a chain framework'
- Core Paradigm section with runnable code example early

Epoch 2 — Decision Guidance:
- Framework Routing Guide (DSPy vs LlamaIndex vs LangChain vs LangGraph)
- Where to Start table mapping entry points
- Troubleshooting table with reference links

Epoch 3 — Pattern Expansion:
- Optimizer selection cheat sheet from official docs
- Caching, compilation cost management, save/load
- FAQ covering paradigm confusion, errors, deployment

12 files: SKILL.md, 7 references, 3 templates, 1 script.
v1.0.0 -> v1.0.3 across 3 epochs.

All API surfaces validated against dspy.ai official docs —
optimizer selection guide, caching, core modules, FAQ.
