## What it does

The skill covers SvelteKit as a full-stack framework for Svelte. It lays out the project conventions: routes live under `src/routes/`, pages are `+page.svelte` files, data comes from `+page.ts` and `+page.server.ts`, endpoints from `+server.ts`. With that map in context, the agent stops inventing folders that do not exist.

Dynamic routes get their own section — `[slug]`, optional `[[year]]`, rest params `[...path]`. Rendering modes are covered too: `prerender`, `ssr`, `csr`, plus the `handle`, `handleError` and `handleFetch` hooks. It all sits in a single `SKILL.md`, with no scripts or extra dependencies.

The skill is non-interactive: `user-invocable: false` and `disable-model-invocation: true`. You cannot call it from chat by hand; it loads as reference material for the agent. If you expected a slash command, there isn't one here — worth checking other skills instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill sveltekit -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/sveltekit/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/sveltekit/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill sveltekit -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/sveltekit/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill sveltekit -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/sveltekit/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills sveltekit
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/sveltekit/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill sveltekit -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --path toolchains/javascript/frameworks/sveltekit
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/sveltekit/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill sveltekit -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills/tree/HEAD/toolchains/javascript/frameworks/sveltekit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- lay out routes under `src/routes/` without mixing them up
- wire a load function to a page and get types from `$types`
- build a form with progressive enhancement via form actions
- pick a rendering mode for a specific route
- expose a REST endpoint in `+server.ts`

## Example prompts
- Help me set up file-based routing in SvelteKit for a blog with categories
- How do I write a form action with server-side validation in SvelteKit?
- Explain the difference between `+page.ts` and `+page.server.ts` in my project

# SvelteKit - Full-Stack Svelte Framework

## Overview

SvelteKit is the official **full-stack framework** for Svelte, providing file-based routing, server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), form handling with progressive enhancement, and deployment adapters for any platform.

**Key Features**:
- **File-based routing**: Automatic routes from `src/routes/` directory structure
- **Load functions**: Type-safe data fetching (`+page.ts`, `+page.server.ts`)
- **Form actions**: Native form handling with progressive enhancement
- **SSR/SSG/SPA**: Flexible rendering modes with per-route control
- **Adapters**: Deploy to Vercel, Netlify, Node.js, Cloudflare, and more
- **TypeScript-first**: Generated types from `$types` for type safety
- **Hooks**: Middleware-like `handle`, `handleError`, `handleFetch`
- **API routes**: `+server.ts` files for REST endpoints

**Installation**:
```bash
# Create new SvelteKit project
npm create svelte@latest my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev -- --open

# Templates: skeleton, demo app, library
# Choices: TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, Playwright, Vitest
```
