Bklit Studio Skill (chart development)
Monorepo contributors only. Use this skill automatically whenever you build, edit, or prototype a chart — before shipping via bklit-ship.
Studio at /studio is the single development surface: full editor shell, component tree, properties, motion, codegen, and registry previews. Do not scaffold apps/web/app/playground/.
When to use (auto-trigger)
- Build, prototype, or edit a chart (new or existing)
- Tune props, layers, data, styling, or animation
- Mentions Studio,
/studio, registry preview, or chart controls - Work continues from a prior playground task → use Studio instead
Quick start
pnpm dev # repo root
Open http://localhost:3000/studio (optional query: ?chart=line-chart).
| Task | URL |
|---|---|
| Edit existing chart | /studio?chart=<slug> — slugs in packages/studio/src/chart-slugs.ts |
| Profit/loss line mode | /studio?chart=line-chart&lineChartMode=profitLoss |
Editor layout
| Region | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Left | Chart type (in full Studio), layer list, data controls, animation |
| Center | Canvas, rulers, resizable frame, replay/scramble |
| Right | Properties for the selected layer |
Pane rules: animation → left (motionPanel on chart config); per-layer props → right; visibility → eye icon on layer (uses hiddenComponents in URL state).
Where to implement (existing charts)
Edit the chart in packages/studio and packages/ui — not apps/web/components/playground/.
| Concern | Path |
|---|---|
| Chart preview + codegen | packages/studio/src/lib/registry.tsx (render, generateCode) |
| Layer tree (components panel) | packages/studio/src/lib/studio-components.ts (resolve*Components) |
| Control groups (properties) | packages/studio/src/lib/registry-control-groups.ts |
| URL / default state | packages/studio/src/lib/studio-parsers.ts |
| Chart UI | packages/ui/src/charts/ |
| Slugs | packages/studio/src/chart-slugs.ts + studioRegistry in registry.tsx |
| Studio-only previews | packages/studio/src/components/charts/*-studio-preview.tsx |
Patterns in registry.tsx render
Reuse committed helpers (do not reimplement):
StudioChartShell+studioCartesianLegendItems— legend grid +showLegendStudioVisibleLayer+componentId— ties render to layer visibility (line.grid,line.series.0, …)getStudioCssRevealPropsForPreview— motion / revealisStudioComponentVisible(state, componentId)— conditional childrenseriesStrokePropsFromState,fadeEdgesPropValue,chartTooltipPropsFromState
Reference implementation: lineConfig.render in registry.tsx.
New chart (not in registry yet)
- Implement component(s) in
packages/ui/src/charts/(minimal API first). - Add slug to
packages/studio/src/chart-slugs.ts. - Add
StudioChartConfigtostudioRegistryinregistry.tsx:render(state, ctx)— preview insideEditorChartFrameviaStudioShellresolveComponentsinstudio-components.tscontrolGroups/resolveControlGroupsgenerateCodefor the code sheet
- Open
/studio?chart=<new-slug>and iterate. - When stable, follow bklit-ship for docs, gallery, shadcn registry.
Adding a prop or layer
- Add key to
StudioUrlState/defaultStudioStateinstudio-parsers.tsif missing. - Add control(s) on the right layer in
registry-control-groups.tsor per-componentcontrolGroupsinstudio-components.ts. - Wire prop in
registry.tsxrender(and inpackages/uichart code). - If the prop affects animation → ensure
motionPanel: trueon chart config. - Verify in Studio: layer list, visibility toggle, properties, replay.
Shipping
When the API is stable, read .agents/skills/bklit-ship/SKILL.md — prototype code should already live in packages/ui + packages/studio; no playground route to migrate.
Deprecated: /playground
The local /playground route and bklit-playground skill are deprecated. /playground redirects to /studio. Do not copy playground-editor-shell or apps/web/components/playground/ for new work.
