Skin — Claude Code Visual Themes
Switch between visual skins that change terminal colors, ASCII banners, status line theme, Claude's personality/voice, and tool feedback sounds.
Usage
The user invokes this skill with /skin followed by an optional argument.
Behavior
/skin (no arguments) — List available skins
Run the following to list skins and show which is active:
~/.claude/skins/engine/skin-command-hook.sh <<< '{"prompt": "/skin"}'
Display the output to the user.
/skin <name> — Activate a skin
Run activate.sh with the skin name:
~/.claude/skins/engine/activate.sh <name>
After activation, tell the user the skin is active and mention they can set it as default with /skin default.
If the personality file exists at ~/.claude/skins/personalities/<name>.md, read it and adopt that voice for the rest of the session.
/skin reset — Deactivate and restore
Run deactivate.sh:
~/.claude/skins/engine/deactivate.sh
Tell the user the terminal has been restored.
/skin default — Set current as permanent default
Read the current skin from ~/.claude/skins/engine/current, then update ~/.claude/skins/engine/config.yaml to set default_skin to that value.
Tell the user which skin was set as default.
