open-slide

Technical reference for writing or editing open-slide pages — file contract, 1920×1080 canvas, type scale, layout, palette/visual direction, assets, stepped reveals, page transitions, and morph transitions. Consult this whenever you are about to write or modify any file under `slides/<id>/`, including from inside the `create-slide` or `apply-comments` workflows, or for any ad-hoc slide edit. Triggers on phrases like "edit slide", "tweak this page", "fix the layout", "change the palette", "reveal one by one", "add a transition", "morph transition", "investigate the slide framework", "how do slides work here".

Resolve which slide, page, and (optionally) selected element the user is currently viewing in the open-slide dev server. Consult this whenever the user references "this page", "this slide", "this element", "the slide I'm on", "the current page", or any deictic reference to slide content without naming it. Re-read `node_modules/.open-slide/current.json` at the start of every such turn — the user navigates between turns, so a value you read earlier in the conversation is almost certainly stale.

Use this skill when the user wants to create, draft, author, or extract a slide theme in this open-slide repo. Triggers on phrases like "create a theme", "make a theme called X", "extract a theme from <slide>", "build a theme from these images". Produces two paired files under `themes/` — `<id>.md` (palette, typography, layout, fixed Title/Footer components, motion) and `<id>.demo.tsx` (a runnable demo slide that the dev-UI Themes panel previews). Do NOT use for editing real slides — only for authoring the theme bundle.

Use this skill when the user wants to create, draft, author, or generate new slides / a presentation in this open-slide repo. Triggers on phrases like "make slides about X", "make a deck about X", "create a presentation", "draft slides for", "new slide", or when the user asks to add content under `slides/`. Do NOT use for editing the framework itself — only for authoring content inside `slides/<id>/`.

Apply pending @slide-comment markers written by the open-slide inspector tool. Use when the user asks to "apply comments", "process slide comments", "apply the inspector comments", or references markers left inside `slides/<id>/index.tsx`.

React and Next.js performance optimization guidelines from Vercel Engineering. This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring React/Next.js code to ensure optimal performance patterns. Triggers on tasks involving React components, Next.js pages, data fetching, bundle optimization, or performance improvements.

React composition patterns that scale. Use when refactoring components with boolean prop proliferation, building flexible component libraries, or designing reusable APIs. Triggers on tasks involving compound components, render props, context providers, or component architecture. Includes React 19 API changes.

Manages shadcn components and projects — adding, searching, fixing, debugging, styling, and composing UI, including chat interfaces. Provides project context, component docs, and usage examples. Applies when working with shadcn/ui, component registries, presets, --preset codes, or any project with a components.json file. Also triggers for "shadcn init", "create an app with --preset", or "switch to --preset".

Reviews animation and motion code against a high craft bar derived from Emil Kowalski's design engineering philosophy. Default to flagging; approval is earned.

Apple's approach to interface design and fluid, physical motion, translated for the web. Use when building or reviewing gesture-driven UI, spring animations, drag/swipe/sheet interactions, momentum and interruptible transitions, translucent materials and depth, typography (optical sizing, tracking, leading), reduced-motion, or the design foundations (feedback, spatial consistency, restraint) behind Apple-style interfaces.
