How to Use This Skill
This index is the source of truth for Skeleton documentation. When invoked:
- Identify relevant docs - Scan the index below to find 1-3 docs matching your current task (e.g., working on cards →
/docs/svelte/tailwind-components/cards.md) - Fetch the docs - Use WebFetch to retrieve them from
https://www.skeleton.dev+ the path (e.g.,https://www.skeleton.dev/docs/svelte/tailwind-components/cards.md) - Apply current best practices - The fetched markdown contains up-to-date patterns, variants, and examples
Do NOT guess URLs - always use this index to find the correct documentation paths.
Common Gotchas
v3→v4 migration: The -token suffix utility classes (e.g., bg-surface-100-800-token) are a v3 pattern that produces zero CSS in v4. They silently render as transparent. In v4, use preset classes (preset-filled-surface-100-900) or Tailwind's dark: variant (bg-surface-100 dark:bg-surface-800).
@tailwindcss/forms is required: Skeleton v4 does NOT style form inputs by default. You MUST install and import the Tailwind Forms plugin, or .input/.textarea/.select will have no borders or backgrounds. Add @plugin '@tailwindcss/forms'; to your CSS after the @import 'tailwindcss' line.
Windows rendering fix: On Windows browsers, form elements may render incorrectly. Add this CSS globally:
.select, .input, .textarea, .input-group {
background-color: var(--color-surface-50-950);
color: var(--color-surface-950-50);
}
Use preset classes for cards/backgrounds: Don't hand-roll bg-surface-* with dark: variants for cards. Use Skeleton's built-in presets which handle light/dark internally: preset-filled-surface-100-900 (background), preset-outlined-surface-300-700 (border). See the Cards docs.
