What it does

Start is an agent skill from Joangeldelarosa/pxlkit. Use when setting up a project to use pxlkit (@pxlkit/ui-kit), or when asked what the pxlkit skills do. Checks React and Tailwind v4 compatibility, then applies the setup for the detected framework.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Design systems. It works with React, Tailwind CSS, Angular and Vue.js. The repository describes itself as: Free to Use Retro React UI kit & pixel art icon library. Includes 40+ React components, 200+ hand-crafted SVG pixel icons (static & animated), and a visual builder. Built with…

When your agent uses it

  • Setting up a project to use pxlkit (@pxlkit/ui-kit)
  • Asked what the pxlkit skills do

Example prompts

  • “/start”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the ground truth
  2. The three blocking cases, and why they block
  3. Apply the setup for this project
  4. Introduce the suite

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b8e4669. 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
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Start loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 724 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

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 724 words (~1,281 tokens).

“Your job is to answer one question honestly — can this project use @pxlkit/ui-kit? — and then either make it ready or explain why it cannot be.”
