Plaited Framework
Reference for an agent assisting an engineer working on the Plaited
behavioral-programming runtime and its UI layer. This skill routes you to
the right operator surface for the task. The detailed reference material
lives in references/; load it on demand per the route table below.
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the task involves the Plaited runtime or UI layer
and you're working in a project where plaited is a declared dependency or
in the Plaited repo itself. Specifically:
- Wiring behavioral programs — b-threads, triggers, handlers, the
super-step model, deadlock/livelock analysis.
- Building custom elements via the controller protocol, or
server-side rendering via the renderer.
- Capturing or grading agent runs (eval), or running autoresearch
hill-climb loops over a behavioral agent.
- Authoring or validating OKF knowledge bundles (the Open Knowledge
Format).
- Designing the design-system spec — a DESIGN.md derivative re-grounded
on Structural IA, CSS custom properties, and
@scope/:host()/::part()
modes.
For the plaited CLI tools (markdown, git-context, mcp-client,
typescript-lsp), use their standalone skills — they are not
framework-specific and ship with the CLI itself.
Route table
Read the reference that matches the task. Each is self-contained; load it
only when the task calls for it.
| When the task involves… |
Read |
Behavioral programs — b-threads, useAddThread/useTrigger/useAddHandler, the super-step model |
references/behavioral.md |
| Deadlock/livelock verification — frontier analysis over the closed state graph |
references/frontier-analysis.md |
Custom elements — the controller protocol, render/attrs, browser-side event dispatch |
references/controller.md |
| Server-side rendering — the renderer layer, SSR, hydration |
references/renderer.md |
| Capturing/grading an agent run — eval trace primitives, divergence analysis |
references/eval.md |
| Iterative hill-climb over a behavioral agent — autoresearch, mutation/selection loops |
references/autoresearch.md |
| OKF knowledge bundles — authoring, validation, §11 conformance, attested computations |
references/okf.md |
Design-system spec — DESIGN.md derivative, Structural IA, custom properties, @scope/:host()/::part(), scale + affordances/feedback (in-progress consensus surface) |
references/design-spec.md |
Related standalone skills
These are generic plaited CLI tools, not framework-specific. Use their
own skills directly:
markdown — plaited markdown (extract-links, validate-links with
rootRelative, frontmatter).git-context — plaited git-context (structured Git context before
editing/committing).mcp-client — plaited mcp-client (discovering and calling remote
MCP servers, authoring MCP-backed skills).typescript-lsp — plaited typescript-lsp (type-aware codebase
analysis via LSP — hover, references, symbols).
Repo conventions
Follow AGENTS.md for repo conventions (Bun APIs, conventional commits,
file naming, no-index, minimal-implementation, testing). This skill routes
you to the right Plaited operator surface; AGENTS.md owns the workflow
rules.
