use-toon
Use TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) with schema.org vocabulary for prompting and instructing subagents and builtin agents. Use when delegating tasks to agents, structuring agent prompts, or specifying expected response formats. DO NOT use for external API calls or when JSON parsing is required.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill use-toon --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

<objective> TOON with schema.org vocabulary provides a standard format for prompting and instructing agents. Use it to structure task delegation, specify expected outputs, and ensure consistent responses from subagents and builtin agents. Key benefits: - **Clear task structure**: schema.org Action types define what the agent should do - **Expected output format**: Specify result type so agents return consistent data - **Token efficiency**: 30-60% fewer tokens than JSON = more context for agent reasoning - **Semantic interoperability**: Standard vocabulary eliminates ambiguity </objective> <quick_start> <syntax> **Object**: `key: value` **Nested**: Indentation (2 spaces) **Simple array**: `items[3]: a,b,c` **Tabular array** (uniform objects): ```toon users[2,]{id,name}: 1,Alice 2,Bob ``` </syntax> <when_to_use> | Use TOON | Use JSON | |----------|----------| | Agent task prompts | External API calls | | Subagent instructions | Parsing with JSON.parse() | | Expected response format | Human debugging | | Agent-to-agent data | Deeply nested structures | </when_to_use> </quick_start> <agent_prompting> <task_delegation> Structure agent tasks as schema.org Actions: ```toon @type: SearchAc

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill use-toon --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
