description	Create trusted local Agent Isles Component Packs V1 with manifests, custom-element assets, diagnostics, and render smoke verification.

Use this skill when the user wants to create, extend, or debug an Agent Isles component pack. Component packs are extension authoring, not ordinary report authoring: they add trusted custom elements and assets that Agent Isles injects into rendered HTML.

Before you start

1. Prefer built-in <agent-*> islands or Bootstrap markup when they solve the document need. Create a pack only when the user needs reusable project-specific or third-party custom elements outside the built-in Agent Isles vocabulary.
2. Name the trust boundary plainly. Component packs are trusted code. Even --mode sanitized preserves declared custom-element tags/attributes and still injects pack JavaScript/CSS assets.
3. Keep V1 local-only. Do not invent npm/git pack resolution, remote fetching, sandboxing, or isles packs validate; those are V1+ follow-ups.
4. Read the canonical reference when available: docs/component-packs.md.

Recommended directory layout

Create packs under a project-local directory so they are reviewable with the Markdown that uses them:

packs/<pack-name>/
  agent-isles.pack.json
  <element-name>.js
  <element-name>.css

Use lowercase hyphenated names. Pack-owned custom-element tags must contain a hyphen and must not use the reserved agent- prefix.

Minimal manifest template

Each pack directory must contain agent-isles.pack.json:

{
  "agentIslesPackVersion": 1,
  "name": "example-widget-pack",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "Project-local widgets for Agent Isles reports.",
  "tags": [
    {
      "name": "example-widget",
      "attributes": ["title", "tone"]
    }
  ],
  "assets": [
    { "type": "module", "path": "example-widget.js" },
    { "type": "style", "path": "example-widget.css" }
  ]
}

Manifest rules:

• agentIslesPackVersion is currently 1.
• name is a stable lowercase ID with letters, digits, and hyphens, starting with a letter.
• version is optional but recommended; Agent Isles uses name@version as the canonical owner when present.
• tags[].name declares each custom element this pack owns.
• tags[].attributes declares sanitized-mode attributes to preserve for that tag. Do not include unsafe attributes such as style, srcdoc, or on* event handlers.
• assets[].path must be relative, stay inside the pack directory, and point to a file.

Minimal custom element

const toneClass = new Map([
  ["good", "example-widget--good"],
  ["warning", "example-widget--warning"],
  ["danger", "example-widget--danger"]
]);

class ExampleWidget extends HTMLElement {
  connectedCallback() {
    const title = this.getAttribute("title") || "Example widget";
    const tone = this.getAttribute("tone") || "good";
    const body = this.innerHTML.trim();
    this.classList.add("example-widget", toneClass.get(tone) || "example-widget--good");
    this.innerHTML = `
      <strong>${title}</strong>
      <div>${body}</div>
    `;
  }
}

customElements.define("example-widget", ExampleWidget);

Keep pack code boring and inspectable. Avoid network calls, global side effects, document-wide mutation, and surprising writes. If user-authored content is inserted into the DOM, treat it as already-rendered trusted/sanitized HTML from Agent Isles; do not re-parse untrusted strings into executable markup.

Minimal CSS

.example-widget {
  display: block;
  border: 1px solid #cbd5e1;
  border-radius: 0.75rem;
  padding: 1rem;
  margin: 1rem 0;
  background: #f8fafc;
}

.example-widget--good {
  border-color: #22c55e;
}

.example-widget--warning {
  border-color: #f59e0b;
}

.example-widget--danger {
  border-color: #ef4444;
}

Use the pack in Markdown

# Pack smoke

<example-widget title="Pack loaded" tone="good">
This content should render inside the project-local component.
</example-widget>

Keep nested custom-element blocks continuous. Blank lines inside nested raw HTML structures can cause CommonMark to close the raw HTML block and escape later tags.

Project config option

For a project-wide local pack, create isles.config.json beside the Markdown input:

{
  "packs": ["./packs/example-widget-pack"]
}

Use explicit --pack <path> flags for one-off or CI smoke checks. Use --no-user-packs when reproducibility matters.

Verification workflow

Run diagnostics before rendering:

isles packs resolve report.md --pack ./packs/example-widget-pack --no-user-packs

Confirm diagnostics show:

• the expected pack name and directory,
• the expected source (explicit, project, or user),
• the declared custom-element tag,
• sanitized-mode allowed attributes,
• copied module/style asset output paths,
• no tag ownership conflicts.

Then render a smoke artifact:

isles render report.md \
  --pack ./packs/example-widget-pack \
  --out dist/report.html \
  --mode sanitized \
  --assets local \
  --no-user-packs

Verify the generated HTML exists and contains:

• the custom element tag from the Markdown,
• references to the copied pack module and style assets,
• expected Agent Isles theme/component bundle references.

If the project has Agent Isles installed locally, prefer the package-manager command shape from agent-isles-render, for example:

npm exec -- isles render report.md --pack ./packs/example-widget-pack --out dist/report.html --assets local --no-user-packs

If Agent Isles is not installed and the user does not want dependency changes, use the doctor-provided commands.oneShotRender pattern from agent-isles-render and add the same pack flags.

Failure handling

• If a render fails because two packs claim the same tag, keep the earlier source only or rename one custom element. Do not hide the conflict.
• If sanitized mode strips an attribute, add it to tags[].attributes only if it is safe and needed. Never allow on* handlers, srcdoc, or style injection as a convenience shortcut.
• If a pack asset is not copied, check that the manifest path is relative, inside the pack directory, and points to an existing file.
• If CI/review artifacts must be reproducible, always include --no-user-packs and prefer explicit --pack paths.

Completion checklist

• Pack directory contains agent-isles.pack.json plus module/style assets.
• Manifest declares every custom element tag and sanitized-mode attribute intentionally.
• Markdown example demonstrates the pack.
• isles packs resolve ... --no-user-packs reports the expected pack and no conflicts.
• isles render ... --mode sanitized --assets local --no-user-packs succeeds.
• Generated HTML references copied pack assets and preserves the custom element.
• Security boundary is documented wherever the pack is introduced.
