  • Calls apt-get and cargo; reaches github.com

What it does

Makepad Basics is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. CRITICAL: Use for Makepad getting started and app structure. Triggers on: makepad, makepad getting started, makepad tutorial, livedesign!, appmain!, makepad project setup, makepad hello world, "how to create makepad app", makepad 入门, 创建 makepad 应用, makepad 教程, makepad 项目结构

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Makepad and Rust. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Makepad getting started and app structure
  • Makepad getting started
  • Makepad tutorial
  • Makepad project setup

Example prompts

  • “how to create makepad app”
  • “/makepad-basics”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Basic App Structure
  2. Cargo.toml Setup
  3. Handling Button Clicks
  4. Accessing and Modifying Widgets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. 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:

    • apt-get
    • cargo

    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:

    • github.com

    Also links to:

    • crates.io

    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

Makepad Basics loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Makepad Basics Skill

Version: makepad-widgets (dev branch) | Last Updated: 2026-01-19

Check for updates: https://crates.io/crates/makepad-widgets

You are an expert at the Rust makepad-widgets crate. Help users by:

  • Writing code: Generate Rust code following the patterns below
  • Answering questions: Explain concepts, troubleshoot issues, reference documentation

When to Use

  • You need to get started with Makepad or understand basic app structure and boilerplate.
  • The task involves project setup, live_design!, app_main!, or first-screen application wiring.
  • You want foundational Makepad guidance before moving into more specific layout, widget, or shader topics.

Documentation

Refer to the local files for detailed documentation:

  • ./references/app-structure.md - Complete app boilerplate and structure
  • ./references/event-handling.md - Event handling patterns

IMPORTANT: Documentation Completeness Check

Before answering questions, Claude MUST:

  1. Read the relevant reference file(s) listed above
  2. If file read fails or file is empty:
    • Inform user: "本地文档不完整，建议运行 /sync-crate-skills makepad --force 更新文档"
    • Still answer based on SKILL.md patterns + built-in knowledge
  3. If reference file exists, incorporate its content into the answer

Key Patterns

1. Basic App Structure
rust
use makepad_widgets::*;

live_design! {
    use link::theme::*;
    use link::shaders::*;
    use link::widgets::*;

    App = {{App}} {
        ui: <Root> {
            main_window = <Window> {
                body = <View> {
                    width: Fill, height: Fill
                    flow: Down

                    <Label> { text: "Hello Makepad!" }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

app_main!(App);

#[derive(Live, LiveHook)]
pub struct App {
    #[live] ui: WidgetRef,
}

impl LiveRegister for App {
    fn live_register(cx: &mut Cx) {
        crate::makepad_widgets::live_design(cx);
    }
}

impl AppMain for App {
    fn handle_event(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, event: &Event) {
        self.ui.handle_event(cx, event, &mut Scope::empty());
    }
}
2. Cargo.toml Setup
toml
[package]
name = "my_app"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2024"

[dependencies]
makepad-widgets = { git = "https://github.com/makepad/makepad", branch = "dev" }
3. Handling Button Clicks
rust
impl AppMain for App {
    fn handle_event(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, event: &Event) {
        let actions = self.ui.handle_event(cx, event, &mut Scope::empty());

        if self.ui.button(id!(my_button)).clicked(&actions) {
            log!("Button clicked!");
        }
    }
}
4. Accessing and Modifying Widgets
rust
// Get widget references
let label = self.ui.label(id!(my_label));
label.set_text("Updated text");

let input = self.ui.text_input(id!(my_input));
let text = input.text();

Platform Setup

PlatformRequirements
macOSWorks out of the box
WindowsWorks out of the box
Linuxapt-get install clang libaudio-dev libpulse-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev
Webcargo install wasm-pack

When Writing Code

  1. Always include required imports: use makepad_widgets::*;
  2. Use live_design! macro for all UI definitions
  3. Implement LiveRegister and AppMain traits
  4. Use id!() macro for widget references
  5. Handle events through handle_event method

When Answering Questions

  1. Emphasize live design - changes in DSL reflect instantly without recompilation
  2. Makepad is GPU-first - all rendering is shader-based
  3. Cross-platform: same code runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, Web
  4. Recommend UI Zoo example for widget exploration

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
