What it does

8sl Component Ship is an agent skill from 8starlabs/ui. Use when adding, updating, documenting, or validating an 8StarLabs UI component in this repository. Covers the full maintainer workflow across blocks, examples, docs, registry metadata, generated index files, and validation commands.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/shipping-checklist.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with shadcn/ui and pnpm. The repository describes itself as: 8StarLabs UI is a component library designed for developers who want niche, high-utility UI elements that you won’t find in standard libraries. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Validating an 8StarLabs UI component in this repository

Example prompts

  • “/8sl-component-ship”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Treat component shipping as one workflow.
  2. Follow existing component patterns before inventing new structure.
  3. Keep changes minimal and coherent.
  4. Prefer explicit validation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9633e2f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

8sl Component Ship loads about 824 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 395 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~824
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when adding, updating, documenting, or validating an 8StarLabs UI component in this repository. Covers the full maintainer workflow across blocks, examples, docs, registry metadata, generated index files, and validation commands.

8StarLabs Component Ship

Maintainer skill for work inside this repository. Use it when the task is to ship or update a component end-to-end, not when the task is only to consume an already-published registry item in another app.

Apply this skill when

  • adding a new component to the registry
  • updating an existing block, demo, or docs page
  • fixing registry metadata, generated index output, or install targets
  • validating that a component change is shippable

Repo map

  • Component source: registry/8starlabs-ui/blocks
  • Examples and demos: registry/8starlabs-ui/examples
  • Docs content: lib/docs/components
  • Registry manifest: registry.json
  • Generated index: registry/__index__.tsx
  • Generation script: scripts/generate-index.mts

Core rules

  1. Treat component shipping as one workflow. A real change usually touches source, at least one demo, docs, and registry output expectations together.
  2. Follow existing component patterns before inventing new structure. Inspect similar blocks and docs pages first.
  3. Keep changes minimal and coherent. Do not refactor unrelated registry or docs infrastructure unless the current task truly requires it.
  4. Prefer explicit validation. When registry-facing files change, run the generation/build commands instead of assuming metadata still lines up.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the current component and the nearest comparable component in the same repo.
  2. Decide the shipping surface: block only, or block + demo + docs + registry metadata.
  3. Update the component source in registry/8starlabs-ui/blocks.
  4. Update or add example files in registry/8starlabs-ui/examples when the user-facing API or behavior changes.
  5. Update docs in lib/docs/components so installation, usage, and API remain accurate.
  6. Check whether registry.json must be updated or regenerated expectations changed.
  7. Run the registry sync commands when applicable: pnpm registry:generate-index pnpm registry:build
  8. Run additional validation that fits the change, such as pnpm lint or pnpm tscheck, when the edited files could break site or type behavior.
  9. Review generated diffs before finishing. Make sure output matches source intent and no unrelated artifacts slipped in.

Heuristics

  • New block: add source, at least one example, docs page content, and registry entry.
  • API change: update demos and docs in the same pass.
  • Docs-only change: keep code untouched unless docs prove current implementation wrong.
  • Registry/index mismatch: trust generated output after verifying source inputs, not hand-edited drift.

Avoid

  • editing only the block when the public API changed
  • leaving docs or demos stale after changing props or behavior
  • hand-waving registry sync without running the repo commands
  • treating consumer-app integration advice as maintainer workflow
