dev-skills

Use when creating or modifying a Halo CMS plugin: writing Java backend code, configuring plugin.yaml, defining custom extensions (GVK), creating custom APIs (CustomEndpoint, MVC controllers), building Vue-based UI with @halo-dev/ui-shared, setting up Gradle builds with DevTools, defining RBAC role templates, declaring pluginDependencies, exposing or consuming plugin extension points, publishing shared events, registering custom FormKit inputs, generating API clients from OpenAPI, registering theme-side Finder APIs, or handling plugin lifecycle (start/stop/delete).

Use when creating or modifying a Halo CMS theme, writing Thymeleaf templates, configuring theme.yaml or settings.yaml, calling Finder APIs, using vite-plugin-halo-theme, defining theme settings forms, referencing static assets, implementing halo:comment or halo:footer extension points, defining model annotation fields (AnnotationSetting), adding i18n support, or handling error pages. Always use this skill when the user mentions themes, templates, Thymeleaf, theme configuration, or wants to customize the frontend appearance of a Halo site — even if they do not explicitly say "theme."
