Apply or adapt a complete dual-theme UI specification board for product interfaces. Use when Codex should build or restyle dashboard, admin, workspace, settings, or system UI with both light and dark themes, shared semantic tokens, structured component states, and a full preview board covering foundations, controls, navigation, data display, and feedback patterns.

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 9 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by Dezoff-max on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Dual Theme Spec Board AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Dezoff-max/codex-ui-board-skills/tree/main/DualThemeSpecBoard/codex-skill
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Dezoff-max/codex-ui-board-skills.git /tmp/codex-ui-board-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/codex-ui-board-skills/DualThemeSpecBoard/codex-skill .claude/skills/dual-theme-spec-board
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Dual Theme Spec Board in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Dual Theme Spec Board on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Dual Theme Spec Board is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Dual Theme Spec Board

Use this skill to create or restyle a product interface using the bundled light and dark theme board. Keep one semantic component system across both themes and change visual output through tokens rather than component rewrites.

Workflow

  1. Read references/usage.md first.
  2. Load only the files needed for the task:
    • references/DualThemeSpecBoard.tokens.json for semantic tokens and light/dark values
    • references/DualThemeSpecBoard.css for component rules and CSS variable mapping
    • references/tailwind.preset.cjs when the host project uses Tailwind
    • references/preview.html when you need the full board layout and state matrix
  3. Decide whether the task needs:
    • only token mapping
    • component restyling
    • a full-page board or design system preview
  4. Preserve shared structure across both themes.
  5. Verify that all interactive states remain visually coherent in both light and dark modes.

Non-Negotiables

  • Use semantic tokens instead of hardcoded colors whenever possible.
  • Keep the same component semantics in light and dark themes.
  • Express hierarchy with elevation, borders, inset states, spacing, and restrained accent usage.
  • Use the board as a complete system: foundations, controls, navigation, data display, and feedback should feel related.
  • Do not mix radically different visual languages such as glassmorphism, flat bootstrap cards, or neon cyber UI into this system.

Component Rules

Foundations

  • Surfaces should define clear depth levels: base, raised, inset, and pressed.
  • Use accent color mainly for active, primary, or highlighted states.
  • Keep spacing and radii consistent across modules.

Controls

  • Buttons, fields, switches, radios, and sliders must all belong to the same material family.
  • Inputs should visibly communicate default, focus, and error states.
  • Disabled states should lose contrast, not change design language.

Navigation

  • Tabs, breadcrumbs, pagination, and steppers should feel compact and operational.
  • Active state should use accent and elevation rather than large layout changes.

Data Display

  • Cards, lists, badges, table headers, and tooltips should remain legible in both themes.
  • Reuse spacing and token logic from foundations and controls.

Feedback

  • Modal, toast, alert, progress, skeleton, and empty states must follow the same surface rules.
  • Error and warning states should be obvious but not louder than the whole interface.

Deliverables

  • If the user asks for a UI kit or template, provide both light and dark theme support.
  • If the user asks for a single screen, still preserve the dual-theme token architecture.
  • When possible, keep the preview or example page shareable without a build step.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Dual Theme Spec Board AI skill do?

Apply or adapt a complete dual-theme UI specification board for product interfaces. Use when Codex should build or restyle dashboard, admin, workspace, settings, or system UI with both light and dark themes, shared semantic tokens, structured component states, and a full preview board covering foundations, controls, navigation, data display, and feedback patterns.

Why use Dual Theme Spec Board on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Dual Theme Spec Board is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Dual Theme Spec Board in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Dezoff-max/codex-ui-board-skills/tree/main/DualThemeSpecBoard/codex-skill. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Dual Theme Spec Board?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Dual Theme Spec Board?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Dual Theme Spec Board with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Dual Theme Spec Board AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Dezoff-max under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
