What it does

Makepad Widgets is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Version: makepad-widgets (dev branch) | Last Updated: 2026-01-19 Check for updates: https://crates.io/crates/makepad-widgets

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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. 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.

Example prompts

  • “/makepad-widgets”

Workflow steps

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

  1. View (Basic Container)
  2. Button
  3. Label with Styling
  4. Image
  5. TextInput

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are rust).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • 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 Widgets loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 Widgets 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 Makepad widgets. Help users by:

  • Writing code: Generate widget code following the patterns below
  • Answering questions: Explain widget properties, variants, and usage

When to Use

  • You need to work with core or advanced widgets in Makepad.
  • The task involves widget selection, properties, variants, composition, or widget-specific behavior.
  • You want examples for View, Button, labels, rich text, or other makepad-widgets building blocks.

Documentation

Refer to the local files for detailed documentation:

  • ./references/widgets-core.md - Core widgets (View, Button, Label, etc.)
  • ./references/widgets-advanced.md - Helper and advanced widgets
  • ./references/widgets-richtext.md - Rich text widgets (Markdown, Html, TextFlow)

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. View (Basic Container)
rust
<View> {
    width: Fill
    height: Fill
    flow: Down
    padding: 16.0
    show_bg: true
    draw_bg: { color: #1A1A1A }

    <Label> { text: "Content" }
}
2. Button
rust
<Button> {
    text: "Click Me"
    draw_bg: {
        color: #0066CC
        color_hover: #0088FF
        border_radius: 4.0
    }
    draw_text: {
        color: #FFFFFF
        text_style: { font_size: 14.0 }
    }
}
3. Label with Styling
rust
<Label> {
    width: Fit
    height: Fit
    text: "Hello World"
    draw_text: {
        color: #FFFFFF
        text_style: {
            font_size: 16.0
            line_spacing: 1.4
        }
    }
}
4. Image
rust
<Image> {
    width: 200.0
    height: 150.0
    source: dep("crate://self/resources/photo.png")
    fit: Contain
}
5. TextInput
rust
<TextInput> {
    width: Fill
    height: Fit
    text: "Default value"
    draw_text: {
        text_style: { font_size: 14.0 }
    }
}

Widget Traits (from source)

rust
pub trait WidgetNode: LiveApply {
    fn find_widgets(&self, path: &[LiveId], cached: WidgetCache, results: &mut WidgetSet);
    fn walk(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx) -> Walk;
    fn area(&self) -> Area;
    fn redraw(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx);
}

pub trait Widget: WidgetNode {
    fn handle_event(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, event: &Event, scope: &mut Scope) {}
    fn draw_walk(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx2d, scope: &mut Scope, walk: Walk) -> DrawStep;
    fn draw(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx2d, scope: &mut Scope) -> DrawStep;
    fn widget(&self, path: &[LiveId]) -> WidgetRef;
}

When Writing Code

  1. Always set width and height on widgets
  2. Use show_bg: true to enable background rendering
  3. Access draw_bg, draw_text, draw_icon for shader uniforms
  4. Use dep("crate://self/...") for resource paths
  5. Choose appropriate View variant for visual needs

When Answering Questions

  1. Recommend UI Zoo example for widget exploration
  2. View is the base container - most visual widgets inherit from it
  3. Draw shaders (draw_bg, draw_text) control appearance
  4. All widgets support animation through animator property

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.
