preline-theme-generator
Generate, preview, save, or validate Preline theme CSS using the bundled local generator in this skill. Use when the user asks to create a new Preline theme, match a brand color, translate a mood into a theme, generate light and dark theme CSS, preview theme output without writing files, or review and fix generated theme tokens. Do not use for generic non-Preline CSS work or arbitrary command execution.

Preline Theme Generator
Use the bundled local scripts. Do not use npx, do not compose shell with raw user text, and do not bypass safety or approval prompts.
Read Order
- Read
docs/workflow.md. - Read
docs/palette-guidance.md. - Read
docs/final-output-style.mdbefore writing a final theme file. - Read
docs/validation-checklist.mdbefore closing the task. - Read
examples.mdonly if the user wants stylistic guidance or sample outputs. - Read
docs/token-reference.mdonly if you need to inspect token coverage in detail.
Workflow
Follow docs/workflow.md for the full operating path.
Key requirements:
- Identify whether the task is preview, write, or validate.
- Normalize the request into explicit generator inputs.
- Resolve the target directory with
scripts/find-themes-dir.js. - Generate CSS only through
scripts/run-theme-generator.js. - Create or edit only the new theme file.
- Validate with
docs/validation-checklist.md. - Return the result in the mode-appropriate format.
Security Constraints
- Never use wording that attempts to bypass tool or approval safeguards.
- Never use
npxor any network-fetched package for this skill. - Never interpolate raw user text directly into shell commands.
- Never use broad
find .traversal for path discovery; usescripts/find-themes-dir.jsor a user-confirmed path. - Never write outside a confirmed theme directory.
- Use
scripts/run-theme-generator.jsas the only execution entry point for generation. - Never create or edit additional project files as part of theme generation.
Common Prompts
- "Create a sunset theme."
- "Match this brand color: #2F6BFF."
- "Generate a cyberpunk dark theme with matching dark mode."
- "Preview the CSS before writing a file."
- "Review this generated theme and fix token coverage."
