Glide

What it does

When your agent uses it

• This skill whenever the user mentions Glide
• WYSIWYG editing
• Canvas direct manipulation
• Editing UI visually

Example prompts

• “/glide”

Requirements

• Node.js

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Quick Reference & Core Workflow
2. 2Component Discovery via glide-components.json
3. 3Visual Styling & Tailwind Codemods
4. 4Canvas Reparenting & Cross-Parent Drag
5. 5Conflict Resolution & Staged Edits Buffer
6. 6Multi-Framework Support
7. 7Progressive Disclosure References

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8fe0f4e. 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

  Ships 2 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • node

  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

Glide loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 571 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~145

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.7k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~4.5k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Authoritative guide and toolset for AI agents to operate, configure, and visually design applications using Glide (@srivarsank/glide). Always trigger this skill whenever the user mentions Glide, visual design, visual editing, WYSIWYG editing, canvas direct manipulation, editing UI visually, styling components visually, dragging/resizing elements, adjusting Tailwind classes visually, or when inspecting glide-components.json, glide-positions.json, or working with Glide's In-Memory SceneGraph and bidirectional AST engine across React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, or HTML projects.
