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."

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).

Halo Theme Development

Halo is built on Spring Boot + Spring WebFlux + Thymeleaf. Themes use Thymeleaf templates for frontend page rendering.

Important: Halo's APIs, VO field names, and template variables evolve across versions. Do not rely on training data for specific field names, method signatures, or type structures. When writing code that accesses template variables or calls Finder API methods, always fetch the relevant online doc from the References section below first.

Thymeleaf Quick Reference

Full docs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thymeleaf/thymeleaf-docs/refs/heads/master/docs/tutorials/3.1/usingthymeleaf.md

Core syntax cheatsheet:

<!-- Output text -->
<h1 th:text="${site.title}"></h1>

<!-- Output unescaped HTML -->
<div th:utext="${post.content.content}"></div>

<!-- Links -->
<a th:href="@{${post.status.permalink}}">Post link</a>
<link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/assets/dist/style.css}" />

<!-- Loop -->
<li th:each="post : ${posts.items}" th:text="${post.spec.title}"></li>

<!-- Conditionals -->
<div th:if="${posts.hasNext()}">Next page</div>
<div th:unless="${posts.hasNext()}">Last page</div>

<!-- Local variable -->
<div th:with="menu = ${menuFinder.getPrimary()}">...</div>

<!-- Fragment include -->
<div th:replace="~{fragments/header :: header}"></div>

<!-- Layout reuse: pages pass fragments into a parameterized layout -->
<html th:replace="~{layout :: html(head = null, content = ~{::content})}">
  <th:block th:fragment="content"><!-- page body --></th:block>
</html>

<!-- Inline JavaScript -->
<script th:inline="javascript">
  var url = '[(${#theme.assets("/dist/main.iife.js")})]';
</script>

Development Workflow

Create a theme folder under themes/ in the Halo working directory (must match metadata.name in theme.yaml)
Write theme.yaml (required) and settings.yaml (optional)
Create template files under templates/
Install and activate the theme in Console → Theme Management
Visit the frontend to verify

Disable Thymeleaf caching during development: set env var SPRING_THYMELEAF_CACHE=false (Docker), or spring.thymeleaf.cache: false in config (source mode).

Starter Templates

The assets/ directory provides two ready-to-use theme templates:

assets/theme-minimal/ — Zero-build-tool minimal theme with all 8 template files; ideal for quick prototyping or simple themes
assets/theme-vite/ — Vite project template with vite-plugin-halo-theme (recommended for new themes); includes partial layout reuse and CSS toolchain

Usage: copy the directory into themes/ in your Halo working directory, ensure the folder name matches metadata.name in theme.yaml, then install and activate in Console.
