Ryan Wang 7fab0c6039 Add halo-theme-dev skill & theme templates
Add a new .agents/skills/halo-theme-dev skill providing Halo theme development resources: two theme templates (theme-vite and theme-minimal) with theme.yaml/settings, Vite config, package.json, CSS and JS assets, and a full set of Thymeleaf template files/partials. Include comprehensive reference docs (structure & config, finder APIs, global variables, annotations, static resources, packaging, official plugins, thymeleaf tips) and an agents/openai.yaml interface. Also update project files: modify package.json, update tsconfig.json, add skills-lock.json, rename vite-env.d.ts and remove obsolete src/main.ts and src/styles/main.css while populating src/ with the new template files.

Global Variables

The following variables are available in all templates without any additional declaration.


site — Site information

Source: Console → System Settings.

{
  "title": "Site Title",
  "subtitle": "Site Subtitle",
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "logo": "https://example.com/logo.png",
  "favicon": "https://example.com/favicon.ico",
  "allowRegistration": false,
  "post": {
    "postPageSize": 10,
    "archivePageSize": 10,
    "categoryPageSize": 10,
    "tagPageSize": 10
  },
  "seo": {
    "blockSpiders": false,
    "keywords": "keywords",
    "description": "Site description"
  },
  "comment": {
    "enable": true,
    "systemUserOnly": false,
    "requireReviewForNew": false
  },
  "routes": {
    "categoriesUri": "/categories",
    "tagsUri": "/tags",
    "archivesUri": "/archives"
  }
}

Common examples:

<title th:text="${site.title}"></title>
<img th:src="${site.logo}" alt="Logo" />
<meta name="description" th:content="${site.seo.description}" />

theme — Current theme info

{
  "metadata": {
    "name": "theme-foo",
    "creationTimestamp": "..."
  },
  "spec": {
    "displayName": "My Theme",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "author": { "name": "Author", "website": "https://example.com" },
    "description": "Theme description",
    "logo": "https://example.com/logo.png",
    "homepage": "https://github.com/example/theme-foo",
    "settingName": "theme-foo-setting",
    "configMapName": "theme-foo-configMap"
  },
  "config": {
    "style": { "color_scheme": "system" },
    "layout": { "nav": "single" }
  }
}

Common examples:

<!-- Display theme version -->
<span th:text="${theme.spec.version}"></span>

<!-- Static asset reference with version (recommended — prevents caching) -->
<link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/assets/dist/style.css?v={v}(v=${theme.spec.version})}" />
<script th:src="@{/assets/dist/main.iife.js?v={v}(v=${theme.spec.version})}"></script>

theme.config — Theme settings values

Access pattern: theme.config.[group].[name]

  • group: value of spec.forms[].group in settings.yaml
  • name: value of spec.forms[].formSchema[].name

Example (based on the settings.yaml in structure-and-config.md):

<body th:class="${theme.config.style.color_scheme}">
  <nav th:if="${theme.config.layout.nav == 'single'}">...</nav>
  <nav th:if="${theme.config.layout.nav == 'double'}">...</nav>
</body>

#theme.assets() — Static asset path utility

Returns the full path to a static asset for use in non-attribute contexts (e.g. inside JavaScript).

Note: the path passed to this function does not need an /assets/ prefix.

<script th:inline="javascript">
  var mainJs = '[(${#theme.assets("/dist/main.iife.js")})]';
  // Renders as: /themes/theme-foo/assets/dist/main.iife.js
</script>

haloCommentEnabled — Comment component status

Boolean. Evaluates both "is a comment plugin installed" and "are comments enabled for this page". Use together with the halo:comment custom tag:

<div th:if="${haloCommentEnabled}">
  <halo:comment group="content.halo.run" kind="Post" th:attr="name=${post.metadata.name}" />
</div>
