What it does

Instui Docs is an agent skill from instructure/instructure-ui. Look up authoritative Instructure UI (InstUI, @instructure/ui-) documentation — component APIs, props, theme variables, usage examples, and guides — by querying instructure.design's plaintext docs. Use whenever the user asks how to use an InstUI component, which props/prop types exist, how to theme/style it, accessibility/i18n/RTL guidance, or which component fits a need. Prefer this over guessing InstUI APIs from memory.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 Internationalization. It works with React and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: A UI Component Library made by Instructure, Inc.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks how to use an InstUI component
  • Which props/prop types exist
  • How to theme/style it
  • Accessibility/i18n/RTL guidance

Example prompts

  • “/instui-docs”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fetch the index: WebFetch https://instructure.design/llms.txt
  2. Fetch the specific page(s) using the URLs from the index. A component page contains examples, size/color/variant options, theme…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8402c4b. 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.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • instructure.design

    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

Instui Docs loads about 498 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~498

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 206 words (~498 tokens).

“Instructure UI publishes its full docs as plaintext/markdown. Use it as the source of truth instead of recalling APIs from memory (they change across major versions).”
