## What it does

The skill equips coding assistants with guidelines for implementing Generative UI via the json-render framework. Instead of writing raw JSX or template strings, the model returns a flat JSON spec containing element types, properties, and relationships.

Three concepts govern the process: catalogs, registries, and renderers. You define accepted UI elements with Zod validation in a catalog. The registry then binds each schema key to an implementation. Supported platforms include React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, React Native, Remotion video, and react-pdf.

Rendering fails if an element type is omitted from the registry. You must install `@json-render/core` and the platform adapter package in your project beforehand.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add reason-machines/trending-skills --skill json-render-generative-ui -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add reason-machines/trending-skills --skill json-render-generative-ui -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add reason-machines/trending-skills --skill json-render-generative-ui -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install reason-machines/trending-skills json-render-generative-ui
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/json-render-generative-ui/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add reason-machines/trending-skills --skill json-render-generative-ui -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/reason-machines/trending-skills --path skills/json-render-generative-ui
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add reason-machines/trending-skills --skill json-render-generative-ui -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/reason-machines/trending-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/json-render-generative-ui/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- restrict generated layouts to an approved component catalog
- render AI-produced JSON trees in React or Svelte
- output generative component structures into PDF or video
- handle user events via configured catalog actions

## Example prompts
- Create a json-render component catalog with cards and action buttons
- Configure a React renderer to display items from a JSON spec
- Set up a PDF generation pipeline using json-render and react-pdf
