kition: Skill for Codex

.codex/skills/kition-ui-development/SKILL.md

kition-development is a skill for Codex from KitionAI/kition. It costs 36 tokens per session (857 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project-specific guide for changing the Kition frontend. It documents the local folder structure, naming rules, file-splitting rules, and build-check process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying the Kition frontend or verifying that a frontend change follows its repository’s structure and build requirements.
Why use it?
It helps frontend changes match the existing project conventions and be checked using the expected workflow.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: installed under .codex/. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is KitionAI/kition's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on kition itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kition configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kition-development scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Kition UI Development

Use this skill for frontend changes in the Kition client repository.

Required first step

  • Read docs/kition-ui-development.md before making structural or UI changes.

Rules

  • Keep src/app for bootstrap, shell, routing, and global styles only.
  • Keep route redirects and path normalization in app-level routing, not inside page components.
  • Put generic shared controls in src/components.
  • Put business UI in src/features/<domain>.
  • Put editor chrome, workspace tree, tabs, and shared editor navigation in src/features/workspace.
  • Put AI chat, agent timeline, and agent-only helpers in src/features/agent.
  • Put Agent session state, streaming lifecycle, and model-selection hooks in src/features/agent.
  • Keep Shell.tsx as route-level shell glue; do not move new Agent presentation logic or editor-page assembly back into it.
  • Treat Agent as a first-class domain alongside document, kits, and settings.
  • Keep editor workspace pages on a stable chrome: topbar, sidebar, tab strip, editor pane.
  • Keep workspace tree, media gallery, tab strip, topbar, and sidebar inside src/features/workspace/components.
  • Keep workspace navigation helper types and workspace display logic inside src/features/workspace/lib.
  • Keep workspace-local persistence helpers such as tabs, tree metadata, and sidebar width inside src/features/workspace/lib.
  • Keep workspace tree shaping and folder-path helpers inside src/features/workspace/lib.
  • Keep workspace tree state hooks and workspace tree action hooks inside src/features/workspace/hooks.
  • Keep workspace topbar and item-menu action hooks inside src/features/workspace/hooks.
  • Keep workspace editor-pane prop builders and panel-assembly hooks inside src/features/workspace/hooks.
  • Keep workspace screen-level page composition inside src/features/workspace/components, not src/app.
  • Keep workspace tab state and tab persistence hooks inside src/features/workspace.
  • Never build a Markdown editor in Kition: .md files open in the Note kit's own editor in KitFrame (src/features/kits), and the agent changes notes with note_run.
  • Move editor chrome presentation into workspace feature components instead of growing page-level JSX inline.
  • Keep desktop settings subscription and synchronization hooks inside src/features/settings/hooks.
  • Never build a table editor in Kition: .ktable files open in the Table kit's own editor in KitFrame (src/features/kits), and Kition's own features reach tables through src/api/kitTables.ts.
  • Use Workspace* names for editor shell and navigation concerns.
  • Use Kit* names for kit frames, kit editors, and their host.
  • Use Agent* names for AI chat and agent execution flows.
  • Do not create or restore a src/react directory.
  • Do not introduce new catch-all UI folders like data/ when a domain folder already exists.
  • When a file grows past roughly 800 lines, split it instead of extending it inline.
  • Prefer feature hooks or feature libs over new inline helper clusters inside Shell.tsx.
  • Prefer a workspace hook for tab open/close/activate flows instead of rebuilding tab state inline in Shell.tsx.
  • Prefer workspace hooks for tree loading, create/delete/move flows, and root switching instead of rebuilding worktree behavior inline in Shell.tsx.
  • Prefer workspace hooks for topbar actions such as editor mode switching, import/export entrypoints, and item-menu commands instead of rebuilding them inline in Shell.tsx.
  • Remove dead wrappers, dead pages, duplicated helpers, and stale imports during refactors.
  • Take shared controls from Kition Tessera (@kition/tessera-ui); add a missing generic control there, not app business logic.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
