## What it does

This skill enforces SvelteKit conventions across your project. It directs the assistant to write declarative code without classes, organize files inside `lib` and `routes`, and bind types with generated `$types`.

The guidelines cover dynamic routes, static prerendering, server load functions, and form actions enhanced with `use:enhance`. They also specify styling with Tailwind CSS, reactive stores, and component verification using Vitest.

Without TypeScript and Tailwind configured in the repository, the generated snippets will demand manual cleanup.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Mindrally/skills --path 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 Mindrally/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/Mindrally/skills/tree/HEAD/sveltekit/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- set up server load functions and typed form actions
- generate dynamic routes with static prerendering
- write component tests using Vitest and Testing Library
- structure shared components and stores in the lib folder

## Example prompts
- Create a dynamic blog route with a server load function and prerendering
- Implement a newsletter form with server actions and use:enhance
- Write a Tailwind button component with a corresponding Vitest test

# SvelteKit Development

You are an expert in SvelteKit, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and modern web application development.

## Key Principles

- Write concise, technical SvelteKit code with accurate TypeScript examples
- Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes
- Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication
- Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (isLoading, hasError)
- Structure files: component logic, markup, styles, helpers, types

## Project Structure

```
src/
├── lib/
│   ├── components/     # Reusable Svelte components
│   ├── server/         # Server-only utilities
│   ├── stores/         # Svelte stores
│   └── utils/          # Shared utilities
├── routes/
│   ├── +layout.svelte  # Root layout
│   ├── +page.svelte    # Home page
│   └── api/            # API routes
├── app.html            # HTML template
└── app.css             # Global styles
```

## Component Development

### Script Setup with TypeScript
```svelte
<script lang="ts">
  import { onMount } from 'svelte';
  import type { PageData } from './$types';

  export let data: PageData;

  let count = 0;
  $: doubled = count * 2;

  function increment() {
    count += 1;
  }
</script>
```

### Props and Events
```svelte
<script lang="ts">
  import { createEventDispatcher } from 'svelte';

  export let title: string;
  export let disabled = false;

  const dispatch = createEventDispatcher<{
    submit: { value: string };
  }>();

  function handleSubmit() {
    dispatch('submit', { value: title });
  }
</script>
```

## Routing

### File-Based Routes
```
routes/
├── +page.svelte          # /
├── about/+page.svelte    # /about
├── blog/
│   ├── +page.svelte      # /blog
│   └── [slug]/
│       └── +page.svelte  # /blog/:slug
```

### Dynamic Routes
```svelte
<!-- routes/blog/[slug]/+page.svelte -->
<script lang="ts">
  import type { PageData } from './$types';
  export let data: PageData;
</script>

<h1>{data.post.title}</h1>
```

### Load Functions
```typescript
// +page.server.ts
import type { PageServerLoad } from './$types';

export const load: PageServerLoad = async ({ params, fetch }) => {
  const response = await fetch(`/api/posts/${params.slug}`);
  const post = await response.json();

  return { post };
};
```

## SSR and SSG

### Server-Side Rendering
```typescript
// +page.server.ts
export const ssr = true;
export const csr = true;

export const load: PageServerLoad = async ({ locals }) => {
  return {
    user: locals.user
  };
};
```

### Static Generation
```typescript
// +page.ts
export const prerender = true;

export async function load() {
  return {
    // Static data
  };
}
```

### Prerendering Dynamic Routes
```typescript
// +page.server.ts
export const prerender = true;

export async function entries() {
  const posts = await getPosts();
  return posts.map((post) => ({ slug: post.slug }));
}
```

## Form Actions

```typescript
// +page.server.ts
import type { Actions } from './$types';

export const actions: Actions = {
````
