description	Guidance for building the chatgpt-app (Vite + React + @openai/apps-sdk-ui) with the MCP-friendly single-file output.

ChatGPT App Skill

This skill covers work in /chatgpt-app, the Vite + React TypeScript app that ships a single-file (inline HTML/CSS/JS) bundle consumed by the MCP server.

Tech Stack & Build

• Vite + React 19 + TypeScript.
• Tailwind CSS v4 for utilities; base CSS imports @openai/apps-sdk-ui/css.
• Single-file build via vite-plugin-singlefile and html-minifier-terser (see package.json scripts).

Design System

• All design and components come from @openai/apps-sdk-ui.
• Official reference: https://openai.github.io/apps-sdk-ui/?path=/docs/overview-introduction--docs
• Deep dives: prefer the deepwiki-mcp (if available) to consult available components, tokens, styles, icons, and colors before guessing.
• Design tokens are exposed in node_modules/@openai/apps-sdk-ui; CSS imports use @source "../node_modules/@openai/apps-sdk-ui"; as in src/index.css.

Icons

• Import icons from the SDK Icon component:

  import { IconName } from "@openai/apps-sdk-ui/components/Icon";
  

• Use SDK-documented icon names; check the docs or deepwiki-mcp for the catalog.

Styling & Tokens

• Base CSS (src/index.css) pulls tokens and fonts:

  @import "tailwindcss";
  @import "@openai/apps-sdk-ui/css";
  @source "../node_modules/@openai/apps-sdk-ui";
  :root {
    font-family: var(--font-sans);
    color: var(--color-text);
    background: var(--color-surface);
  }
  

• Prefer SDK tokens/variables (--font-sans, --color-text, --color-surface, etc.) and SDK components over custom styles.

Practices

• Reach for SDK components first; only add bespoke styles when the SDK lacks a suitable primitive.
• Keep the bundle single-file safe: avoid external asset references that won’t inline cleanly.
• When uncertain about component props, tokens, or icons, consult the Apps SDK UI docs and deepwiki-mcp instead of guessing.
