SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the common issue of broken contrast and visual inconsistency when implementing dark mode or multi-theme systems, preventing the common mistake of simply inverting colors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic Token Architecture: Decouples components from hardcoded colors to allow seamless theme switching.
  • Perceptual Color Scaling: Uses OKLCH to ensure color steps remain uniform across light and dark modes.
  • Automated Contrast Verification: Provides a mechanism to ensure all text-on-surface pairings meet accessibility standards (AA/AAA) across every theme.

Quick Start

Apply the theming skill to audit the current CSS variables and generate a semantic token set that supports both light and dark modes with proper contrast ratios.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement dark mode without breaking contrast ratios?

Automated contrast verification ensures text-on-surface pairings meet AA/AAA accessibility standards across every theme. It uses a validation mechanism to audit UI surface pairings, preventing broken contrast when implementing multi-theme interfaces or high-contrast modes.

What is a semantic token architecture for CSS theming?

A semantic token architecture for CSS theming decouples UI components from hardcoded colors to allow seamless theme switching. It standardizes multi-theme interfaces by defining tokens that adapt automatically across light, dark, and brand-specific modes.

How do I use OKLCH color definitions for multi-theme interfaces?

Use OKLCH color definitions to ensure perceptually uniform color scaling across light and dark modes. This approach prevents visual inconsistency by maintaining uniform color steps when generating brand-specific themes or high-contrast accessibility modes.

How do I generate a semantic token set for light and dark modes?

Generate a semantic token set by auditing current CSS variables and standardizing them into a multi-theme architecture. This process supports both light and dark modes while applying OKLCH color definitions and validating contrast ratios for accessibility compliance.

Why does simply inverting colors break accessibility in dark mode?

Simply inverting colors breaks accessibility because it destroys perceptual uniformity and fails contrast validation. Building coherent dark modes requires perceptually uniform color spaces like OKLCH and automated contrast ratio verification for all UI surface pairings.
