What it does

Chakra UI is an agent skill from mikotoIO/mikoto. Contains Chakra UI v3 documentation for styling, theming, and components. ALWAYS activate when code imports from @chakra-ui/react, or when the user asks about Chakra UI components, styling, or theming.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems and Theming and dark mode. It works with React. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks about Chakra UI components
  • Tasks that involve Design systems
  • Tasks that involve Theming and dark mode

Example prompts

  • “Use the chakra-ui skill to contain Chakra UI v3 documentation for styling, theming, and components”
  • “/chakra-ui”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 88f7ff0. 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

Chakra UI loads about 824 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 247 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~824

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.

Activation

TRIGGER when: code imports from @chakra-ui/react, user asks about Chakra UI components/styling/theming, or working on frontend UI code.

Important Files

This skill includes full Chakra UI v3 documentation split into three files stored alongside this SKILL.md:

  • styling.txt (~110KB) - Styling system: style props, responsive design, CSS variables, dark mode, chakra factory, cascade layers, conditions, focus ring, text/layer/animation styles
  • theming.txt (~88KB) - Theming: tokens (colors, spacing, radii, shadows, typography, z-index, animations, breakpoints), semantic tokens, recipes, slot recipes, customization
  • components.txt (~1.5MB) - All component docs with usage examples and props

Always read styling.txt and theming.txt when this skill activates — they provide essential context for all Chakra UI work. but, Read components.txt on-demand when working with specific components. Due to its size, use ripgrep to search for the component name (e.g. # Button or # Dialog) rather than reading the whole file.

  • The docs are located at: /home/hayley/Projects/mikoto/.claude/skills/chakra-ui/
  • The project theme is defined at apps/client/src/components/chakraTheme.tsx

Quick Reference

Core Patterns
tsx
// Style props (primary styling method)
<Box bg="blue.500" p="4" borderRadius="md" color="white">
  Content
</Box>

// Responsive (mobile-first breakpoints)
<Box fontSize={{ base: "sm", md: "md", lg: "lg" }}>
  Responsive text
</Box>

// Color opacity via color-mix
<Box bg="red.300/40">Semi-transparent</Box>

// Semantic tokens (auto light/dark)
<Box bg="bg.subtle" color="fg.muted" borderColor="border">
  Themed content
</Box>
Composition with asChild
tsx
// Passes Chakra styles to child element
<Button asChild>
  <a href="/link">Click me</a>
</Button>
Footguns

AVOID using chakra() factory to create styled elements. AVOID using styled components AVOID using recipes and slot recipes

When trying to re-use styles, simply create a component and use it. Chakra defines our style system but we use a utility-first approach, similar to Tailwind.

Key Semantic Tokens
CategoryTokens
Backgroundbg, bg.subtle, bg.muted, bg.emphasized, bg.inverted, bg.panel, bg.error, bg.warning, bg.success, bg.info
Textfg, fg.muted, fg.subtle, fg.inverted, fg.error, fg.warning, fg.success, fg.info
Borderborder, border.muted, border.subtle, border.emphasized, border.inverted, border.error
CSS Cascade Layers
@layer reset, base, tokens, recipes;

Styles are ordered by specificity layers for predictable overrides.
