Resolve effective StyleSeed context

SkillAI & models

Compile a small, deterministic StyleSeed rule bundle for one agent, output grammar, surface adapter, domain, page type, brand recipe, palette recipe, and optional profile. Use before setup or build, when STYLESEED.md changes, when updating StyleSeed, or whenever an agent would otherwise load the full rule handbook.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Resolve effective StyleSeed context skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by bitjaru/styleseed in skills/ss-resolve/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use the bundled scripts/resolve-context.mjs; do not hand-compose the rule stack.

  1. Read STYLESEED.md when it exists. Confirm missing required selections with the user.
  2. Keep the working directory at the user's project root. Invoke the script by its installed path; do not cd into the skill directory.
  3. Legacy single-artifact projects should prefer --from-lock STYLESEED.md. Registry projects use .styleseed/project.json plus .styleseed/artifacts/*.json and must resolve with --artifact or --all; in registry mode, edit project-owned config instead of passing selection overrides.
  4. Read the emitted bundle before building: legacy writes .styleseed/effective-rules.md; registry writes .styleseed/bundles/<artifact-id>.md.
  5. Preserve the manifest output: legacy uses .styleseed/manifest.json; registry uses .styleseed/manifests/<artifact-id>.json.
  6. Use --check to detect context drift without rewriting files.
node <installed-ss-resolve>/scripts/resolve-context.mjs \
  --from-lock STYLESEED.md \
  --agent codex

Registry project:

node <installed-ss-resolve>/scripts/resolve-context.mjs \
  --project-root . \
  --artifact app-dashboard \
  --agent codex

Without a lock:

node <installed-ss-resolve>/scripts/resolve-context.mjs \
  --agent claude \
  --grammar operations-console \
  --adapter product-ui \
  --domain saas \
  --page dashboard \
  --recipe enterprise-workbench \
  --palette cobalt-instrument \
  --key-color "#175CD3" \
  --palette-character balanced \
  --palette-mode light \
  --palette-harmony auto \
  --surface-temperature cool \
  --profile swiss

Use --list to print supported IDs. --recipe auto maps the selected grammar to a maintained default; --palette auto maps that recipe to a contrast-verified semantic palette. Pass explicit values when the product needs a different morphology or color posture. The default output directory is .styleseed/ in the project root. For a project-local reference grammar, pass reference:<slug> and ensure .styleseed/rulesets/<slug>/RULESET.md exists. Registry projects require the full six-file reference contract: RULESET.md, tokens.json, evidence.json, checks.md, reference-board.html, and adapter.json.

When a key color is present in flags or the lock, the resolver uses the shared OKLCH generator and writes .styleseed/palette.json plus .styleseed/palette.css. The manifest records the generation inputs. The maintained recipe still supplies product posture and semantic restrictions; its fixed hex values become fallbacks rather than overriding the generated system.

Do not load llms-full.txt after a bundle resolves successfully. Load a larger source document only when the bundle names an unresolved ambiguity that requires it.
