Panda Knowledge Base
This skill exposes the curated Panda theme knowledge base bundled with the prestashop-experts plugin. The panda-expert agent consults this KB before answering, but any agent can read these files directly.
When this skill is relevant
Load and read from this KB when the user mentions:
- The Panda theme by SunnyToo (any PrestaShop version).
- Any
st* module name — stmegamenu, ststickers, stblog, stthemeeditor, stmanufacturer, stcustomtext, etc.
- Easy Builder /
steasybuilder / steasy_trans_panda widgets, presets, admin controllers, or the PS-aware bridge.
- A SunnyToo demo ("ecommerce de moda", "tienda de tecnología", "alimentación", etc.).
- A storefront layout question phrased as "puede Panda hacer X" or "qué módulo Panda uso para Y".
Do NOT load for: PrestaShop core mechanics (use prestashop-kb), other themes (Classic, Warehouse, Leo, Hummingbird), or non-PrestaShop e-commerce.

How to use the KB
- Start with the index:
modules/_index.md for the master table; modules/_by-category.md to find by use case.
- Open the specific fiche (
modules/stXXX.md) for hooks, LOC, dependencies, and what the module does.
- Easy Builder questions →
easybuilder/01-widgets-catalog.md (31 generic widgets) + easybuilder/04-bridge-trans-panda.md (20 PS-aware widgets). Generic widgets need only steasybuilder; PS-aware widgets need both steasybuilder and steasy_trans_panda.
- "Which demo?" →
demos/ catalog. Each demo is a reference configuration of modules.
- Official docs fallback:
docs/ is shallow because the real configuration info lives in screenshots not captured. Use as last resort.
Key facts to surface to agents
- Panda's
theme.yml declares compatibility.from: 1.7.1.0, to: ~ → supports PS 8 and PS 9 simultaneously.
stthemeeditor is the central configuration hub (~25K LOC, 153 files). Most of the 54+ Panda modules do NOT have their own admin screen — they are configured via stthemeeditor. Only ~8 have a BO form of their own.
stmegamenu has 19 hooks — it reacts to changes in categories, products, CMS, manufacturers, suppliers. The most hook-heavy module.
stblog has 10 sub-modules that depend on the parent (archives, comments, editor, search, tags, etc.).
stoverride, stupgrader, stxlfgenerator are infrastructure helpers (0 hooks).
steasycontent is bundled in Panda (do not confuse with steasybuilder which is paid optional).
Gaps to be honest about
- Module fiches show options as placeholder ("see .tpl and translations"). For real options in a specific project, read the source in the current working directory (
./modules/stX/), not the KB.
- The 54 fiches were crystallized from Panda 2.9.2 distribution. If the CWD has Panda 2.9.3+ or a customized install, the CWD is authoritative.
docs/ content is text-only (screenshots not captured). Don't rely on docs/ for step-by-step configuration.
- Demo↔module cross-reference is not yet indexed. For "which demo as base for fashion ecommerce" suggest
https://panda2.sunnytoo.com/select-demo.html.
Cross-skill pointer
For Panda's interaction with PrestaShop core mechanics (hooks lifecycle, parent-child theme cascade, Smarty syntax, migration 8→9), the platform knowledge lives in the sibling skill prestashop-kb and the agent prestashop-expert.
1---2name: panda-kb3description: Curated knowledge base for the Panda theme by SunnyToo on PrestaShop 8 and 9 — 54 module fiches, 19 demos catalog, scraped official docs, and the Easy Builder track (steasybuilder + steasy_trans_panda). Use when answering questions about Panda-specific modules (`st*` prefix), SunnyToo widgets, Easy Builder layouts, or "what can Panda render". For PrestaShop platform-level questions (Symfony, Twig BO, Smarty syntax, hooks core, theme.yml mechanics, migration 8→9) use the `prestashop-kb` skill instead.4---56# Panda Knowledge Base78This skill exposes the curated Panda theme knowledge base bundled with the `prestashop-experts` plugin.
