What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a guided setup to install, register and wire up the @kilivi-dev/payloadcms-theme-management plugin in Payload v3 + Next.js App Router projects, enabling consistent theming with collection-based or standalone settings, live previews, cache revalidation, and front-end rendering of the theme.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Install, register and wire the plugin to add an Appearance/Theme configuration surface in Payload v3 projects, including options for targetCollection, useStandaloneCollection, and custom fields.
  • Enable Native Live Preview and SSR theme injection so the chosen theme renders consistently across server and client routes with proper CSS variables.
  • Use cases include configuring a site-wide or per-collection theme, debugging when theme changes do not reflect in the front end, and validating live preview behavior during development.

Quick Start

Install the plugin and wire up configuration in your Payload v3 + Next.js app.
