How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Stitch Skill Creator

A factory for creating new **stitch-kit skills**. Enforces standard structure, naming conventions, and the plugin's architectural patterns.

When to use this skill

  • Adding support for a new framework (e.g. "Astro", "Qwik", "Flutter")
  • Creating a domain-specific prompt architect (e.g. `stitch-ui-ecommerce-architect`)
  • Adding a new quality tool (e.g. `stitch-performance`, `stitch-seo`)
  • Any time you need a new SKILL.md that integrates with the stitch-kit ecosystem

Naming conventions

| Skill type | Name pattern | Example | |------------|-------------|---------| | Framework conversion | `stitch-[framework]-components` | `stitch-astro-components` | | Domain prompt architect | `stitch-ui-[domain]-architect` | `stitch-ui-ecommerce-architect` | | MCP wrapper | `stitch-mcp-[tool-name]` | `stitch-mcp-edit-screen` | | Quality / analysis tool | `stitch-[capability]` | `stitch-performance` | | Meta / utility | `stitch-[name]` | `stitch-setup` |

**Rules:**

  • Always kebab-case
  • Always starts with `stitch-`
  • Framework conversion skills end with `-components`
  • MCP wrappers follow `stitch-mcp-{snake_case_tool → kebab}` from `docs/mcp-naming-convention.md`

# Stitch → [Target] [Type]

**Constraint:** Only use this skill when the user explicitly mentions "Stitch" [and any additional trigger condition].

[One sentence explaining what this skill does and who the agent "is" while using it.]

## When to use this skill vs. similar skills

[Table comparing this skill to its nearest alternatives — help the orchestrator route correctly]

## Prerequisites

[What the user/environment needs before this skill can run]

## Step 1: Retrieve the design

1. Run `list_tools` → find Stitch MCP prefix
2. Call `[prefix]:get_screen` with numeric `projectId` and `screenId`
3. Download HTML: `bash scripts/fetch-stitch.sh "[htmlCode.downloadUrl]" "temp/source.html"`

## Step 2: [Core conversion / workflow]

[The main logic of this skill]

## Step N: Output

[What the skill produces — files, code, commands]

Architecture checklist template (resources/architecture-checklist.md)

Adapt this to the target platform/framework:

# [Framework] Components — Architecture Checklist

Run through this checklist before marking the task complete.

## Structure
- [ ] [Project structure check]
- [ ] Components are in separate files

## [Framework-specific category]
- [ ] [Framework-specific check]

## TypeScript / Types
- [ ] No `any` types
- [ ] All props have Readonly<> wrapper

## Dark mode
- [ ] Theme tokens used everywhere — no hardcoded colors

## Accessibility
- [ ] All interactive elements are keyboard accessible
- [ ] Images have descriptive alt text

## Performance
- [ ] No console.log in production code

Creating a framework conversion skill

For a new framework (e.g. Astro):

1. Create the directory

mkdir -p skills/stitch-astro-components/resources
mkdir -p skills/stitch-astro-components/examples
mkdir -p skills/stitch-astro-components/scripts

2. Copy the fetch script

cp skills/stitch-mcp-get-screen/scripts/fetch-stitch.sh \
   skills/stitch-astro-components/scripts/fetch-stitch.sh

3. Write SKILL.md

Use the template above. Key sections for framework skills:

  • **When to use vs. similar skills** — distinguish from Next.js, Svelte, etc.
  • **Project structure** — show the file layout
  • **HTML → Framework mapping** — table of HTML/CSS patterns → framework equivalents
  • **Design tokens** — how to handle Stitch's CSS variables in this framework
  • **Dark mode** — how this framework handles it
  • **Accessibility** — framework-specific ARIA patterns

4. Create component template

Write `resources/component-template.[ext]` — a working boilerplate component that demonstrates:

  • Props interface
  • Theme token usage
  • Dark mode
  • Accessibility attributes
  • Conditional rendering patterns

5. Create architecture checklist

Write `resources/architectu

Your coding agent writes decent code and designs terrible UI. stitch-kit fixes the second half — it wires agents into Google Stitch (text prompts → genuinely beautiful screens) and teaches them to drive it properly.
