General Updates
September 3, 2026 — Update
- Catalog-wide expansion of the design system skills at
.cursor/skills/<theme>-design/SKILL.md— all 44 themes and every variant (base, Sanity, EmDash). - Each skill is extracted from that theme’s own code, not a generic checklist: typography, color usage, spacing rhythm, component conventions, corner/border/shadow policy, and do/don’t rules, so AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) build UI that matches the theme.
AGENTS.mdlinks the design rules in every repository, and several themes received fully expandedAGENTS.mdbriefs (tech stack, content collections with frontmatter schemas, routing conventions, guardrails).- Refreshed the Carbon Astro + Sanity CMS variant with a deeper port of the theme’s design tokens, components, and data layer.
- New docs page: Agent skills.
August 24, 2026 — Update
