What it does

Ink Authoring API is an agent skill from inkline/inkline. The .ink.tsx authoring API — defineComponent, the compiler macros (defineProps, defineModel, defineEmits, defineSlot, hasSlot), signals, control flow, slots, two-way binding, events — plus per-target rewrite behavior and the anti-patterns that reviewers reject on sight. Use whenever writing or reviewing .ink.tsx code.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering React components. The repository describes itself as: Inkline is the intuitive UI Components library that gives you a developer-friendly foundation for building high-quality, accessible, and customizable Vue.js 3 Design Systems.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing .ink.tsx code
  • Tasks that involve React components

Example prompts

  • “/ink-authoring-api”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Namespace import of core (import * as ink from "@inkline/core") — hard error INK0001. Named imports only.
  2. without key (INK0050); without when (INK0060); without each` (INK0062).
  3. A new primitive without its compiler binding. Adding an export to core/core without wiring parse (P2) and lowering (P3) in the compiler…
  4. Real logic in core stubs — the stubs are inert by contract.
  5. Component-ref forwarding — unsupported (INK0070); element refs only.
  6. Dynamic reactive reads (obj[key()]) — defeats static dependency tracking (INK0020); React falls back to recompute-every-render.
  7. Solid renders undefined as the string "undefined" for native string props — coalesce optional string→attribute bindings with ?? "".
  8. !!, Boolean(), ?? sprinkled in JSX that must stay lint-clean across 7 emitted outputs — prefer explicit conditionals; check the compiled…
  9. Interface-extension styling props that the compiler can't enumerate. The compiler only enumerates members of directly-named interfaces…
  10. Effects for derivation — createMemo derives, createEffect is for real side effects only; an effect with no reactive reads runs once…
  11. Destructuring the props object — reads stay props.x (Solid's reactive proxy; requirePropsNotDestructured enforces it on the output). A…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4da55a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Ink Authoring API loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 944 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 944 words (~2,149 tokens).

“Components are authored once against @inkline/core and compiled to 7 frameworks. @inkline/core is authoring-time stubs — identity functions and no-ops that exist so code type-checks and produces predictable IR. The compiler removes every reference during emission; no core runtime ships…”
