At a glance

Shows an agent how to install and use the @pierre/theme package, which ships ten Pierre light and dark color themes for Shiki and VS Code.

  • Adding a Pierre light or dark theme to a Shiki code highlighter
  • SKILL.md covers Install, Select an API reference and Select a recipe
  • Calls pnpm
  • Installing a Pierre theme in VS Code, Cursor or Zed

What it does

This skill points the agent at the `@pierre/theme` package, which provides ten immutable theme objects for Shiki and VS Code. The main file works as a router with two lookup references: an API reference listing every package entry and export, and a variants guide for comparing the themes and choosing one.

Two recipes cover the common jobs, loading a Pierre theme in Shiki and installing one in an editor. The description also names Cursor and Zed, plus soft, vibrant, protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia variants. When an app has to switch themes at runtime or follow the system color mode, the skill hands off to a separate `theming` skill, and Zed-compatible themes for `@pierre/highlights` are covered by a separate highlights skill.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding a Pierre light or dark theme to a Shiki code highlighter
  • Installing a Pierre theme in VS Code, Cursor or Zed
  • Choosing between the soft, vibrant and color-vision variants

Example prompts

  • “Use the Pierre dark theme in our Shiki setup for the docs site.”
  • “Which Pierre variant suits someone with deuteranopia? Install it in my editor.”
  • “Add @pierre/theme with pnpm and load the vibrant light theme.”

Requirements

  • A Node package manager such as pnpm to add `@pierre/theme`

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d302ea0. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Pierre Theme Package loads about 352 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 100 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~352
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.
