Features
How each feature converts to syllago's canonical format. See format conversion for what these statuses mean.
Fields
Native frontmatter or config fields this provider exposes. The first column is the provider's own field name; the canonical key column links to syllago's cross-provider equivalent.
| Provider field | Conversion | Canonical key | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
description | Conversion type: No canonical equivalent — appended as prose in a conversion notes block so nothing is silently lost. Learn more → | — | Shown in / autocomplete to describe the template; falls back to the first non-empty body line if omitted. |
Other features
Behaviors, conventions, and capabilities that aren't tied to a single named field — things like path-based activation, discovery rules, and lifecycle behavior.
| Feature | Conversion | Summary |
|---|---|---|
argument_substitution | Translated Conversion type: Translated Actively mapped to the target provider’s equivalent field during conversion. Learn more → | positional expansion: $1, $2 (specific positions), $@ or $ARGUMENTS (all args joined), ${@:N} (args from position N), ${@:N:L} (L args starting at N); richer syntax than most providers |
| Positional argument expansion in templates | Preserved Conversion type: Preserved Syntax survives conversion but the target provider may not interpret it. Learn more → | Templates expand $1/$2 (positional), $@ or $ARGUMENTS (all joined), and ${@:N} / ${@:N:L} slices for parameterized prompts. |
| Multi-source template discovery matching skills pattern | Not portable Conversion type: Not portable Unique to this provider — can’t be carried across providers. Learn more → | Templates load from global, project, package.json, settings.json prompts array, and --prompt-template CLI flag (non-recursive). |
