Quarto’s docs evolve fast, and the YAML option surface is large enough that guessing wrong wastes a render cycle. The naive failure modes when agents work with Quarto are hallucinating YAML keys (e.g. format.html.sidebar when sidebars are top-level website.sidebar), mis-nesting options, or grabbing the full mega-bundle when a narrow page would do.

This skill is a navigation map: which quarto.org/llms.txt bundle to fetch for which kind of question, which per-page .llms.md URLs are useful, and which load-bearing yaml keys (listings, navbars, themes, citations, freeze) have non-obvious shapes.

It is used heavily inside vade-coo-memory for the publishing site this page is rendered through. The skill itself is portable — nothing about it presumes VADE.
