SKILL.md
Use Skill("ct") for ct CLI documentation when running commands.
Implement Sub-Pattern
Core Rule
Write ONE sub-pattern with minimal stub UI. No styling, just basic inputs/buttons to verify data flow.
Always use pattern<Input, Output>() - expose actions as Stream<T> for testability.
Order
- Leaf patterns first (no dependencies on other patterns)
- Container patterns (compose leaf patterns)
- main.tsx last (composes everything)

Key Patterns
action() - Closes over local state in pattern body:
const inputValue = Cell.of("");
const submit = action(() => {
items.push({ text: inputValue.get() });
inputValue.set("");
});
handler() - Reused with different bindings:
const deleteItem = handler<void, { items: Writable<Item[]>; index: number }>(
(_, { items, index }) => items.set(items.get().toSpliced(index, 1))
);
// In JSX: onClick={deleteItem({ items, index })}
Rendering sub-patterns - Use function calls, not JSX:
// ✅ Correct
{items.map((item) => ItemPattern({ item, allItems: items }))}
// ❌ Wrong - JSX fails with typed Output
{items.map((item) => <ItemPattern item={item} />)}
Done When
- Pattern compiles:
deno task ct check pattern.tsx --no-run - Minimal UI renders inputs/buttons
- Ready for testing
