Makepad Skills Evolution

This skill enables makepad-skills to self-improve continuously during development.

When to Use

• You are maintaining makepad-skills and want the skill library to improve itself during development.
• You need the workflow for deciding when a new pattern should become a skill update or hook-driven evolution.
• You are working on self-correction, self-validation, or version adaptation for the skill set.

Quick Navigation

Hooks-Based Auto-Triggering

For reliable automatic triggering, use Claude Code hooks. Install with --with-hooks:

# Install makepad-skills with hooks enabled
tmpdir="$(mktemp -d)"
trap 'rm -rf "$tmpdir"' EXIT
curl -fsSLo "$tmpdir/makepad-skills-install.sh" https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZhangHanDong/makepad-skills/main/install.sh
cat "$tmpdir/makepad-skills-install.sh"  # review the full installer before executing
bash "$tmpdir/makepad-skills-install.sh" --with-hooks

This will install hooks to .claude/hooks/ and configure .claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "bash .claude/hooks/makepad-skill-router.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "PreToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Bash|Write|Edit",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "bash .claude/hooks/pre-tool.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Bash",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "bash .claude/hooks/post-bash.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

What Hooks Do

Skill Routing and Bundling

The makepad-skill-router.sh hook automatically loads relevant skills based on user queries.

Context Detection

Skill Dependencies

When loading certain skills, related skills are auto-loaded:

Example

User: "我想从零开发一个 Makepad 应用"

[makepad-skills] Detected Makepad/Robius query
[makepad-skills] App development context detected - loading skill bundle
[makepad-skills] Routing to: makepad-basics makepad-dsl makepad-event-action
                            makepad-layout makepad-widgets robius-app-architecture

When to Evolve

Trigger skill evolution when any of these occur during development:

Evolution Process

Step 1: Identify Knowledge Worth Capturing

Ask yourself:

• Is this a reusable pattern? (not project-specific)
• Did it take significant effort to figure out?
• Would
