Reference points for the linux-kernel-dev skill: which norm and knowledge-base repositories the kernel community keeps on GitHub, and how others write kernel skills for coding agents. Every star count and last-push date below was checked repo-by-repo via the GitHub REST API (gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>) on 2026-07-02 — verified numbers, not remembered ones.
给本仓的 linux-kernel-dev skill 找参照：内核社区在 GitHub 上有哪些规范与知识库仓库，别人又是怎么给 coding agent 写 kernel skills 的。下文所有 star 数与最近推送时间，均于 2026-07-02 用 GitHub REST API（gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>）逐仓实查，非记忆值。
coding-style.rst, submitting-patches.rst and the maintainer handbook all live inside the kernel source tree and evolve with every release. There is no second "norms repository" on GitHub — everything else interprets, teaches or mirrors it. The references layer of the linux-kernel-dev skill aligns to exactly this set of documents. coding-style.rst、submitting-patches.rst、maintainer 手册都住在内核源码树里，随每个内核版本演进。GitHub 上不存在第二个「规范仓库」——其余仓库全是对它的解读、教学或搬运。本仓 linux-kernel-dev skill 的 references 层对齐的就是这套文档。

Of the eight knowledge/aggregation repos, the ones still updating in 2026 are linux-insides (the internals book), lkmpg (the module programming guide) and gatieme's Chinese notes. The 0voice Chinese aggregations are large but idle since 2024-05 — fine as an index, not as an authority. Both awesome-lists have been dead for years and are not worth following. 八个知识库/聚合仓里，2026 年仍在更新的只有 linux-insides（internals 书）、lkmpg（模块编程指南）和 gatieme 的中文笔记。中文聚合仓 0voice 系列量大但 2024-05 后停更，当索引用可以，当权威源不行。awesome list 两个全部停更多年，不值得跟。

Orange bar = active and high-quality, worth following long-term. linux-insides has community Chinese translations (several forks; the original MintCN edition has moved). 橙条 = 活跃且内容质量高，值得长期跟。linux-insides 有社区中文翻译（多个 fork，原 MintCN 版已转移）。

Repository仓库All 17 skills in the official anthropics/skills repo are documents, design or office work — nothing kernel-related. The community yields 6 verified repos, all with double-digit stars at most — but one of them is written by a sitting kernel maintainer. 官方 anthropics/skills 仓的 17 个 skill 全是文档、设计、办公类，没有 kernel 相关。社区里核实到 6 个，star 都在两位数以内——但其中一个出自真正的内核 maintainer 之手。

Only 2 stars — but this is the one kernel agent-skills repo written and used daily by a sitting kernel maintainer. It holds 6 skill directories (the README leads with 4 of them) plus a hook (block-raw-git.sh: intercepts raw git commit / rebase while an StGit stack is active, so agents can't corrupt the patch stack). star 只有 2，但这是目前唯一一个由在任内核 maintainer 编写并日常使用的 kernel agent skills 仓。仓内 6 个 skill 目录，README 主打其中 4 个；另带一个 hook（block-raw-git.sh：StGit 栈活动时拦截裸 git commit / rebase，防 agent 弄坏 patch 栈）。
The field-tested essentials of the drgn and trace-cmd skills (API patterns, pitfall tables, analysis recipes) were distilled into this repo's skills/linux-kernel-dev/references/debugging.md on 2026-07-02; b4 and virtme-ng from tzussman's plugin went into references/patch-workflow.md the same day. See the next section.
drgn 与 trace-cmd 两个 skill 的实战要点（API 用法、坑表、分析套路）已于 2026-07-02 提炼进本仓 skills/linux-kernel-dev/references/debugging.md；tzussman plugin 的 b4 与 virtme-ng 同日借入 references/patch-workflow.md，见下节。
This repo is strong on knowledge structure and verification machinery; community skills are strong on per-tool workflows — the two cover different dimensions. As of this survey there is no second kernel skill on GitHub with a 44-subsystem module set plus anti-hallucination fact checking plus regression testing. 本仓强在知识结构与验证机制，社区 skills 强在具体工具的工作流——两边覆盖的维度不同。GitHub 上目前没有第二个带 44 子系统模块 + 反幻觉事实检查 + 回归测试结构的 kernel skill。
References extended (2026-07-02) — two sections distilled from cel-kdev into references/debugging.md, two from tzussman's plugin into references/patch-workflow.md; the SKILL.md routing table updated in step. Only platform-neutral material was taken; NFS / SUNRPC-specific content stayed out.
references 层增补完成（2026-07-02）——从 cel-kdev 提炼两节进 references/debugging.md，从 tzussman plugin 提炼两节进 references/patch-workflow.md，SKILL.md 路由表同步更新。只取平台无关的通用部分，NFS / SUNRPC 专属内容未带入。
