Templ Components

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Building UI components
• Creating component libraries
• Mentions button component
• Reusable templ components

Example prompts

• “button component”
• “card component”
• “reusable templ components”
• “/templ-components”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Define a small, single-purpose component.
2. 2Prefer typed props (structs for complex APIs).
3. 3Support composition with { children... }.
4. 4Keep variants explicit and predictable.
5. 5Extract shared layout wrappers instead of duplicating markup.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 45c532e. 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 templ).

  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):

  • templ.guide
  • pkg.go.dev

  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

Templ Components loads about 552 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~61

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

~552

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Create reusable templ UI components with props, children, and composition patterns. Use when building UI components, creating component libraries, mentions 'button component', 'card component', or 'reusable templ components'.

type ButtonProps struct {
    Label    string
    Variant  string
    Disabled bool
}

templ Button(props ButtonProps) {
    <button class={ "btn btn-" + props.Variant } disabled?={ props.Disabled }>
        { props.Label }
    </button>
}

templ Card(title string) {
    <article class="card">
        <header><h3>{ title }</h3></header>
        <div class="card-body">{ children... }</div>
    </article>
}

templ WithError(err error) {
    if err != nil {
        <p class="error">{ err.Error() }</p>
    } else {
        { children... }
    }
}
