File contents

OpenTUI Skill

Canonical reference docs are authored once in sibling docs/**/*.mdx files.

Inside the OpenTUI repo, this skill root lives at packages/web/src/content/, so the same files are also visible at packages/web/src/content/docs/**/*.mdx.

Path invariant

/docs/<slug> maps to docs/<slug>.mdx relative to this skill root
in the repo, that same slug maps to packages/web/src/content/docs/<slug>.mdx

For concrete component requests, jump straight to docs/components/<name>.mdx after the relevant entry page. For plugin implementation details, narrow from docs/plugins/slots.mdx into docs/plugins/core.mdx, docs/plugins/react.mdx, or docs/plugins/solid.mdx.

Working rules

Prefer the current entry pages first, then read narrower docs in the same section.
Read the sibling docs/**/*.mdx files directly instead of copying prose into this file.
Use stable /docs/... URLs when cross-referencing docs.
