Usage

After installation, type / followed by the skill name in Claude Code, for example /setup to scaffold a project or /elements to add a styled component.

Maintaining

The skills are checked against a built assistant-ui checkout: every import { ... } from "<package>" in a code block must be a real export, relative links must resolve, and retired conventions are rejected.

node scripts/check-skills.mjs --assistant-ui ../assistant-ui

Run pnpm build in the checkout first so packages/*/dist/index.d.ts exist.
