Use the admin-side and programmatic theming tools in @kilivi-dev/payloadcms-theme-management — generate a full light/dark palette from one brand colour or a logo, run a WCAG accessibility audit of the palette with one-click fixes, and export the theme as W3C design tokens (JSON) or Tailwind v4 @theme / v3 config.
Add front-end (visitor-facing) theme controls from @kilivi-dev/payloadcms-theme-management — the ColorModeToggle (light/dark/auto with a View Transitions ripple animation) and the ThemeSwitcher (runtime theme-preset switching). Use when a site needs a dark-mode button or a theme picker for end users.
Add theme-aware colour and appearance controls to any Payload collection, block or global using the out-of-the-box helpers from @kilivi-dev/payloadcms-theme-management (createColorGroup, createColorField), and resolve the stored values to CSS on the front-end with resolveColorValue.
Wire up and debug live theme preview for @kilivi-dev/payloadcms-theme-management — the native Payload Live Preview iframe (with mobile/tablet/desktop breakpoints), the in-admin device + light/dark preview panels, and the ThemeLivePreviewSync client component that applies theme CSS live without a full save.
Install, register and wire up the @kilivi-dev/payloadcms-theme-management plugin in a Payload CMS v3 + Next.js App Router project — collection tab vs standalone collection, live preview, cache revalidation, and rendering the resolved theme on the front-end.
Use when working with Payload projects (payload.config.ts, collections, fields, hooks, access control, Payload API). Use when debugging validation errors, security issues, relationship queries, transactions, or hook behavior.
Next.js 16 with App Router, Server Components, Server Actions, Cache Components. Use for React 19.2 apps, SSR, or encountering async params, proxy.ts migration, use cache errors.
