What it does

Glide Setup is an agent skill from SrivarsanK/Glide. Zero-error setup guide for AI agents to install and configure @srivarsank/glide visual editor on any React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, or HTML Vite project in one prompt. Covers CLI startup, automatic skill installation, Vite plugin options, and troubleshooting.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Static sites and blogs. It works with Vite, Astro, React and Svelte. The repository describes itself as: Local visual design tool for React, Vue and Svelte. Click any element on a live canvas, edit styles and layout visually, and Glide writes the changes directly back to your source… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Static sites and blogs

Example prompts

  • “/glide-setup”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install Package
  2. Configure Vite Plugin
  3. Install Agent Skills
  4. Configure .gitignore
  5. Run Glide Visual Editor

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • npx
    • node

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and npx, 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

Glide Setup loads about 868 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 176 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~868

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.

Glide Setup — Agent Installation Skill

CRITICAL: The Vite plugin export is glideSourceStamping, NOT glide. Import path: @srivarsank/glide/vite-plugin Import statement: import { glideSourceStamping } from '@srivarsank/glide/vite-plugin';


Prerequisites (Check Before Install)

  1. Node.js ≥ 18 — verify with node -v
  2. Vite-based project — Glide integrates with Vite dev servers. Confirm vite is in dependencies.
  3. Package manager — detect from lockfile:
    • package-lock.json → npm
    • pnpm-lock.yaml → pnpm
    • yarn.lock → yarn
    • bun.lockb → bun

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1 — Install Package
bash
npm install -D @srivarsank/glide
Step 2 — Configure Vite Plugin

Open vite.config.ts (or vite.config.js). Add glideSourceStamping():

React:

ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react';
import { glideSourceStamping } from '@srivarsank/glide/vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), glideSourceStamping()],
});

Vue:

ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
import { glideSourceStamping } from '@srivarsank/glide/vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vue(), glideSourceStamping()],
});

Svelte:

ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { svelte } from '@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte';
import { glideSourceStamping } from '@srivarsank/glide/vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [svelte(), glideSourceStamping()],
});

Astro (astro.config.mjs):

ts
import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import { glideSourceStamping } from '@srivarsank/glide/vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  vite: {
    plugins: [glideSourceStamping()],
  },
});

Plain HTML / Vanilla Vite:

ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { glideSourceStamping } from '@srivarsank/glide/vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [glideSourceStamping()],
});

Step 3 — Install Agent Skills

Install Glide agent skills into your project:

bash
# Automated install via Glide CLI:
npx @srivarsank/glide --install-skills

This installs:

  • .agents/skills/glide/SKILL.md (Architecture & Visual Editing)
  • .agents/skills/glide-component-segregator/SKILL.md (Component Registry & Targeting)
  • .agents/skills/glide-setup/SKILL.md (Project Setup Guide)

Step 4 — Configure .gitignore

Add auto-generated cache and registry files:

gitignore
glide-positions.json
glide-components.json

Step 5 — Run Glide Visual Editor
bash
# Terminal 1 — Start your app
npm run dev

# Terminal 2 — Start Glide targeting your app's port (e.g. 5173)
npx @srivarsank/glide 5173

Open http://localhost:7777 in your browser.


Verification Checklist

  1. App loads at http://localhost:7777 with Glide visual overlay frame.
  2. Elements show blue selection boundary on hover/click.
  3. glide-components.json is generated in project root.
  4. Editing a color or class updates source file and reflects immediately on canvas.
