Shade inputSurface recipe

Shade inputSurface recipe is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TryGhost/Ghost. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,071 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared styling recipe for form controls in Shade, such as text fields, text areas, input groups, and select controls. It provides the common border, background, corner, focus, invalid, and disabled styling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing form-control components or files in Shade, choosing the direct-focus mode for an input and the descendant-focus mode for a wrapper.
Why use it?
It prevents each form control from implementing slightly different visual and accessibility states.

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

Shade inputSurface recipe 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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Shade — inputSurface recipe

Form controls share one visual rule: border, background, radius, transition, focus ring, invalid state. That rule lives in inputSurface (apps/shade/src/components/ui/input-surface.ts) and is used by Input, Textarea, InputGroup, and the Select trigger. Don't duplicate the chrome — compose the recipe.

import {inputSurface, inputSurfaceClasses} from '@/components/ui/input-surface';
import {cn} from '@/lib/utils';

Two common modes

inputSurface('self') — directly on the focusable element

Use on <input>, <textarea>, or any element that itself receives focus.

<input
    className={cn(
        inputSurface('self'),
        'flex h-9 w-full px-3 py-1 text-control placeholder:text-muted-foreground',
        className
    )}
    {...props}
/>

Covers: base chrome + focus-visible: ring + aria-[invalid=true] styling + disabled: opacity.

inputSurface('within') — on a wrapper containing a focusable child

Use when the styled element is the wrapper (e.g. InputGroup) and focus state should react to any focusable descendant via :has().

<div className={cn(
    inputSurface('within'),
    'flex h-9 items-center gap-2 px-3',
    className
)}>
    <Icon />
    <input className="bg-transparent outline-hidden focus:outline-hidden" />
</div>

Covers: base chrome + has-[:focus-visible]: ring + has-[[aria-invalid=true]]: styling. (No disabled atom — wrappers don't get a disabled HTML attribute.)

Edge case — only one specific child triggers focus state

When 'within' is too broad (e.g. a wrapper with multiple focusables but only one should drive chrome), compose atoms manually so Tailwind's JIT can statically detect the class string:

import {inputSurfaceClasses} from '@/components/ui/input-surface';

<div className={cn(
    inputSurfaceClasses.base,
    inputSurfaceClasses.invalidWithin,
    // Literal class string — Tailwind needs to see it as text
    'has-[[data-slot=control]:focus-visible]:border-focus-ring',
    'has-[[data-slot=control]:focus-visible]:ring-2',
    'has-[[data-slot=control]:focus-visible]:ring-focus-ring/25'
)} />

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.
