What it does

Harmonyos App is an agent skill from majiayu000/spellbook. HarmonyOS application development expert. Use when building HarmonyOS apps with ArkTS, ArkUI, Stage model, and distributed capabilities. Covers HarmonyOS NEXT (API 12+) best practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files (for example `reference/arkts.md`, `reference/arkui.md` and `reference/distributed.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Cross-runtime skills for Claude Code, Codex, and multi-agent workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building HarmonyOS apps with ArkTS
  • Distributed capabilities

Example prompts

  • “Use the harmonyos-app skill to harmonyo application development expert. An agent skill from majiayu000/spellbook”
  • “/harmonyos-app”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed52af7. 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

Harmonyos App loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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.

description
HarmonyOS application development expert. Use when building HarmonyOS apps with ArkTS, ArkUI, Stage model, and distributed capabilities. Covers HarmonyOS NEXT (API 12+) best practices.

HarmonyOS Application Development

Core Principles

  • ArkTS First — Use ArkTS with strict type safety, no any or dynamic types
  • Declarative UI — Build UI with ArkUI's declarative components and state management
  • Stage Model — Use modern Stage model (UIAbility), not legacy FA model
  • Distributed by Design — Leverage cross-device capabilities from the start
  • Atomic Services — Consider atomic services and cards for lightweight experiences
  • One-time Development — Design for multi-device adaptation (phone, tablet, watch, TV)

Hard Rules (Must Follow)

These rules are mandatory. Violating them means the skill is not working correctly.

No Dynamic Types

ArkTS prohibits dynamic typing. Never use any, type assertions, or dynamic property access.

typescript
// ❌ FORBIDDEN: Dynamic types
let data: any = fetchData();
let obj: object = {};
obj['dynamicKey'] = value;  // Dynamic property access
(someVar as SomeType).method();  // Type assertion

// ✅ REQUIRED: Strict typing
interface UserData {
  id: string;
  name: string;
}
let data: UserData = fetchData();

// Use Record for dynamic keys
let obj: Record<string, string> = {};
obj['key'] = value;  // OK with Record type
No Direct State Mutation

Never mutate @State/@Prop variables directly in nested objects. Use immutable updates.

typescript
// ❌ FORBIDDEN: Direct mutation
@State user: User = { name: 'John', age: 25 };

updateAge() {
  this.user.age = 26;  // UI won't update!
}

// ✅ REQUIRED: Immutable update
updateAge() {
  this.user = { ...this.user, age: 26 };  // Creates new object, triggers UI update
}

// For arrays
@State items: string[] = ['a', 'b'];

// ❌ FORBIDDEN
this.items.push('c');  // UI won't update

// ✅ REQUIRED
this.items = [...this.items, 'c'];
Stage Model Only

Always use Stage model (UIAbility). Never use deprecated FA model (PageAbility).

typescript
// ❌ FORBIDDEN: FA Model (deprecated)
// config.json with "pages" array
export default {
  onCreate() { ... }  // PageAbility lifecycle
}

// ✅ REQUIRED: Stage Model
// module.json5 with abilities configuration
import { UIAbility } from '@kit.AbilityKit';

export default class EntryAbility extends UIAbility {
  onCreate(want: Want, launchParam: AbilityConstant.LaunchParam): void {
    // Modern Stage model lifecycle
  }

  onWindowStageCreate(windowStage: window.WindowStage): void {
    windowStage.loadContent('pages/Index');
  }
}
Component Reusability

Extract reusable UI into @Component. No inline complex UI in build() methods.

typescript
// ❌ FORBIDDEN: Monolithic build method
@Entry
@Component
struct MainPage {
  build() {
    Column() {
      // 200+ lines of inline UI...
      Row() {
        Image($r('app.media.avatar'))
        Column() {
          Text(this.user.name)
          Text(this.user.email)
        }
      }
      // More inline UI...
    }
  }
}

// ✅ REQUIRED: Extract components
@Component
struct UserCard {
  @Prop user: User;

  build() {
    Row() {
      Image($r('app.media.avatar'))
      Column() {
        Text(this.user.name)
        Text(this.user.email)
      }
    }
  }
}

@Entry
@Component
struct MainPage {
  @State user: User = { name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com' };

  build() {
    Column() {
      UserCard({ user: this.user })
    }
  }
}

Quick Reference

When to Use What
ScenarioPatternExample
Component-local state@StateCounter, form inputs
Parent-to-child data@PropRead-only child data
Two-way binding@LinkShared mutable state
Cross-component state@Provide/@ConsumeTheme, user context
Persistent statePersistentStorageUser preferences
App-wide stateAppStorageGlobal state
Complex state logic@Observed/@ObjectLinkNested object updates
State Decorator Selection
@State        → Component owns the state, triggers re-render on change
@Prop         → Parent passes value, child gets copy (one-way)
@Link         → Parent passes reference, child can modify (two-way)
@Provide      → Ancestor provides value to all descendants
@Consume      → Descendant consumes value from ancestor
@StorageLink  → Syncs with AppStorage, two-way binding
@StorageProp  → Syncs with AppStorage, one-way binding
@Observed     → Class decorator for observable objects
@ObjectLink   → Links to @Observed object in parent

ArkUI Component Patterns

Basic Component Structure
typescript
import { router } from '@kit.ArkUI';

@Component
export struct ProductCard {
  // Props from parent
  @Prop product: Product;
  @Prop onAddToCart: (product: Product) => void;

  // Local state
  @State isExpanded: boolean = false;

  // Computed values (use getters)
  get formattedPrice(): string {
    return `¥${this.product.price.toFixed(2)}`;
  }

  // Lifecycle
  aboutToAppear(): void {
    console.info('ProductCard appearing');
  }

  aboutToDisappear(): void {
    console.info('ProductCard disappearing');
  }

  // Event handlers
  private handleTap(): void {
    router.pushUrl({ url: 'pages/ProductDetail', params: { id: this.product.id } });
  }

  private handleAddToCart(): void {
    this.onAddToCart(this.product);
  }

  // UI builder
  build() {
    Column() {
      Image(this.product.imageUrl)
        .width('100%')
        .aspectRatio(1)
        .objectFit(ImageFit.Cover)

      Text(this.product.name)
        .fontSize(16)
        .fontWeight(FontWeight.Medium)

      Text(this.formattedPrice)
        .fontSize(14)
        .fontColor('#FF6B00')

      Button('Add to Cart')
        .onClick(() => this.handleAddToCart())
    }
    .padding(12)
    .backgroundColor(Color.White)
    .borderRadius(8)
    .onClick(() => this.handleTap())
  }
}
List with LazyForEach
typescript
import { BasicDataSource } from '../utils/BasicDataSource';

class ProductDataSource extends BasicDataSource<Product> {
  private products: Product[] = [];

  totalCount(): number {
    return this.products.length;
  }

  getData(index: number): Product {
    return this.products[index];
  }

  addData(product: Product): void {
    this.products.push(product);
    this.notifyDataAdd(this.products.length - 1);
  }

  updateData(index: number, product: Product): void {
    this.products[index] = product;
    this.notifyDataChange(index);
  }
}

@Component
struct ProductList {
  private dataSource: ProductDataSource = new ProductDataSource();

  build() {
    List() {
      LazyForEach(this.dataSource, (product: Product, index: number) => {
        ListItem() {
          ProductCard({ product: product })
        }
      }, (product: Product) => product.id)  // Key generator
    }
    .lanes(2)  // Grid with 2 columns
    .cachedCount(4)  // Cache 4 items for smooth scrolling
  }
}
Custom Dialog
typescript
@CustomDialog
struct ConfirmDialog {
  controller: CustomDialogController;
  title: string = 'Confirm';
  message: string = '';
  onConfirm: () => void = () => {};

  build() {
    Column() {
      Text(this.title)
        .fontSize(20)
        .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
        .margin({ bottom: 16 })

      Text(this.message)
        .fontSize(16)
        .margin({ bottom: 24 })

      Row() {
        Button('Cancel')
          .onClick(() => this.controller.close())
          .backgroundColor(Color.Gray)
          .margin({ right: 16 })

        Button('Confirm')
          .onClick(() => {
            this.onConfirm();
            this.controller.close();
          })
      }
    }
    .padding(24)
  }
}

// Usage
@Entry
@Component
struct MainPage {
  dialogController: CustomDialogController = new CustomDialogController({
    builder: ConfirmDialog({
      title: 'Delete Item',
      message: 'Are you sure you want to delete this item?',
      onConfirm: () => this.deleteItem()
    }),
    autoCancel: true
  });

  private deleteItem(): void {
    // Delete logic
  }

  build() {
    Button('Delete')
      .onClick(() => this.dialogController.open())
  }
}
