This Skill helps you quickly understand what Rikka is, how its packages fit together, and when it is the right choice for a project. It gives you the mental model needed to read the rest of the documentation without getting lost in implementation details.
Read this overview first so you can understand Rikka’s package structure, design principles, and fit for your project before using any task-specific skill.

Signal-based reactivity manages state updates directly against the real DOM without a virtual DOM layer. Rikka uses this approach to render native Web Components, updating only the specific DOM nodes affected by state changes for efficient UI rendering.
Yes, understanding custom element conventions is required. Rikka relies on native Web Components standards for its component model, so familiarity with custom elements, attributes, and signals is necessary before building or evaluating Rikka applications.
Choose Rikka's client-side components for UI or component library needs, and select the full-stack rikka-site package for resource-oriented applications. The overview helps map these package boundaries to your specific project architecture requirements.
Start by reading the architecture overview to internalize the package structure, naming rules, and design principles. This provides the mental model needed to understand rikka-signal, rikka-dom, rikka-elements, and rikka-site before writing code.
Rikka's no-virtual-DOM approach requires understanding signal-based reactivity and real DOM rendering. If your team lacks familiarity with custom element conventions or needs a virtual DOM diffing model, Rikka may not be the right fit for your project.
Rikka APIs follow derivable patterns for naming attributes, signals, and events. Understanding these rules before writing code ensures consistency with the toolkit's internal conventions and reduces integration errors across packages.
