mithril is a modern, owned-source component library (shadcn-style: consumers copy and own the source). You are usually composing these components into apps (src/demos/) or extending the library (src/components/ui/). This skill captures the cross-component patterns and gotchas — the things that are correct per-component but easy to get wrong when you wire them together.
Mithril is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the personal-productivity sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/mithril/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when building or editing UI in this repo: anything under src/components/ui/ or the demo apps in src/demos/, wiring overlays (Popover/Menu/Tooltip/Dialog/Drawer), forms, data tables, or date/time pickers — and especially when you hit a composition gotcha (menu-in-popover padding, dark-mode portals, Tailwind token tree-shaking, icon rendering by name, focus-driven popovers). Teaches the patterns the component types alone don't reveal.
The Mithril Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 146,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/mithril/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Mithril is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
