Add Theme

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Creating a new theme variant
• Files under packages/ui/src/themes/

Example prompts

• “/add-theme”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1packages/ui/src/themes/index.ts — export { default as Theme } from './'
2. 2Docs live preview — packages/ui/docs/App.vue themes array (toolbar select is dev-only)
3. 3Public docs if the theme is user-facing
4. 4Do not change exports/nuxt.plugin.js or packages/create-ui templates unless making this the default
5. 5Changeset (feat) — user-facing export

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a34ae6d. 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

Add Theme loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 285 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~43

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1k

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

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.
