What it does

Formax Web CSS Convergence Workflow is an agent skill from yusifeng/formax. Use when changing web CSS/UI styling so requirements, state ownership, and acceptance checks are locked before edits to prevent rework churn.

Its SKILL.md is about 990 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. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: Terminal-first AI assistant for software engineering tasks (inspired by Claude Code v2.0.67). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing web CSS/UI styling so requirements
  • State ownership
  • Acceptance checks are locked before edits to prevent rework churn

Example prompts

  • “/formax-web-css-convergence-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Target model in one sentence (final visual geometry).
  2. Non-goals / do-not-touch list.
  3. State model (if any) and single source of truth.
  4. Ownership boundary (main process vs renderer).
  5. Acceptance criteria (what must be true, what must never appear).
  6. Runtime matrix (command, platform, light/dark).
  7. Iteration policy (single-axis change per pass).
  8. Rollback point (which commit/file set is safe fallback).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1b0c3f3. 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:

    • bun
    • npm
    • codex

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

  • Network

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

Formax Web CSS Convergence Workflow loads about 988 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 404 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~988

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.

Goal

  • Prevent repeated CSS rework by locking requirements before any style edits.
  • Convert ambiguous visual requests into a concrete edit contract with explicit acceptance checks.
  • Keep behavior stable while converging structure, naming, and styling.

Use this skill when the task involves:

  • component styling or layout adjustments
  • cross-file CSS + TSX class changes
  • interaction visual states (hover/active/focus/selected)
  • repeated back-and-forth UI tuning that needs convergence

Intake Contract (Run Before Editing)

  • Require this 8-line input contract (fill missing items by explicit assumptions, not guesswork):
  1. Target model in one sentence (final visual geometry).
  2. Non-goals / do-not-touch list.
  3. State model (if any) and single source of truth.
  4. Ownership boundary (main process vs renderer).
  5. Acceptance criteria (what must be true, what must never appear).
  6. Runtime matrix (command, platform, light/dark).
  7. Iteration policy (single-axis change per pass).
  8. Rollback point (which commit/file set is safe fallback).

Where to change what

  • Core styling surfaces:
    • packages/web-reference-react/src/styles.css
    • packages/web-reference-react/src/css/theme.css
  • Core UI wiring:
    • packages/web-reference-react/src/app/ui/AppShell.tsx
    • packages/web-reference-react/src/components/LeftRail.tsx
    • packages/web-reference-react/src/components/left-rail/SidebarItem.tsx
  • Browser bridge typing surface (when needed):
    • packages/web-reference-react/src/vite-env.d.ts
  • Desktop main/preload ownership (only for stateful window-level visuals):
    • packages/desktop-electron/src/main.ts
    • packages/desktop-electron/src/preload.ts
    • packages/desktop-electron/src/windowAppearanceState.ts
  • Scenario-specific construct (read only if task touches transparency):
    • docs/contracts/web/window-transparency-construct.md

Patterns

  1. Freeze-Then-Edit Pattern
  • Restate final model first.
  • Freeze non-goals (do not touch drag region, menu entries, unrelated text/copy).
  • Only then open code.
  1. Single-Axis Convergence Pattern
  • Pass A: geometry/layers only.
  • Pass B: color/opacity tokens only.
  • Pass C: interaction/focus/hover only.
  • Never mix all three in one pass.
  1. State Ownership Lock Pattern
  • If the task has window/app state coupling:
    • renderer does not invent business states
    • canonical state lives in the owner layer
    • pending UI must converge to canonical state
  1. Evidence-Driven Pattern
  • Use deterministic checks instead of eye-balling:
    • explicit before/after acceptance list
    • “must-not-see” artifact list
    • screenshot evidence when visual regressions are likely

Tests to update

  • Required baseline for CSS changes in web-reference:
    • bun run test -- src/App.test.tsx (in packages/web-reference-react)
  • Required for desktop bridge/state shape changes:
    • npm --prefix packages/desktop-electron run build:main
  • Required only for transparency scenario:
    • bun run test:e2e -- e2e/window-transparency.evidence.spec.js --project=chromium (in packages/web-reference-react)
  • Required before commit in this repo:
    • codex review --uncommitted -c model="gpt-5.4" -c model_reasoning_effort="medium" -c service_tier="fast"

Guardrails

  • Do not change unrelated UI behavior while “just tuning CSS”.
  • Do not rely on one environment result; verify against the declared runtime matrix.
  • If acceptance criteria are unclear, ask for clarification before directional edits.
  • Avoid speculative visual “patch layers” that do not belong to the target model.
  • If user requests cleanup-pass/返工收敛, reduce churn only:
    • remove redundancy
    • unify naming/state shape
    • preserve behavior
