Phase 1 of building an Inkline component — design the API. An agent skill from inkline/inkline.

  • Works in 2 steps: .claude/skills/create-component/reference… → The nearest exemplar to what you're…
  • Starting a new component
  • SKILL.md covers Read first, Steps, Spec template and Exit criteria
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Research Component is an agent skill from inkline/inkline. Phase 1 of building an Inkline component — design the API. Survey the WAI-ARIA pattern and prior art, then write a complete component spec (props, slots, events, variants, accessibility, styling plan) to .context/ for sign-off before any code. Use when starting a new component or redesigning an existing one's API.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Accessibility and Intellectual property. 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

  • Starting a new component
  • Redesigning an existing ones API

Example prompts

  • “/research-component”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, WebFetch, Write, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

  1. .claude/skills/create-component/reference/conventions.md — naming philosophy, the prop/variant vocabulary, the a11y baseline. The…
  2. The nearest exemplar to what you're building (badge = simplest, button = stateful, input = multi-part family) under…

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 these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • AskUserQuestion

    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 bash and markdown).

    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

Research Component loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 491 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
~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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 491 words (~1,371 tokens).

“The goal of this phase is a spec good enough that implementation is mechanical. A great component is decided here: the right anatomy, the best prop names, the exact accessibility contract. Produce a written spec, get it signed off, then…”
