Bklit Ship Skill
This skill is for bklit-ui monorepo contributors taking a chart or component validated in Studio into production: published in the UI package, documented, and ready for users.
When to use this skill
- You cloned
bklit/bklit-uiand have a working prototype validated in Studio (/studio) and want to ship it. - You are ready to move from "scaffolding" to "permanent": the API and key props/variants are decided from the prototyping phase.
Plan: Prototype → Production
Follow these steps in order. Treat this as a checklist; each step has concrete locations in the repo.
1. Move into the UI package and export
- Move or finalize chart/component source in
packages/ui/(e.g.packages/ui/src/charts/for charts). Prototypes should already live here if you followed bklit-studio; remove any leftover copies underapps/web/components/playground/if present. - Export the new chart/component from the package’s public API:
- For charts: add exports in packages/ui/src/charts/index.ts. - If the package uses exports in package.json for specific entry points, add or update the relevant entry so the new component is importable as @bklitui/ui/charts (or the appropriate path).
- Do not add app-only chart copies under
apps/web/components/playground/(deprecated). Studio previews belong inpackages/studio.
2. Documentation and examples (apps/web)
Documentation lives under apps/web/. Do all of the following.
- Update existing component docs when shipping extends an existing chart (new props, subcomponents, or behavior):
- Add new props to the relevant tables in the parent doc (e.g. line-chart.mdx for Grid highlightRowValues, ChartTooltip indicatorColor). - Update related utility docs if needed (e.g. content/docs/utility/grid.mdx, tooltip.mdx). - Keep the primary docs preview unchanged — do not swap the standard preview on an existing page for the new variant. - Add a short section linking to a dedicated doc page when the feature warrants one (e.g. Profit/Loss → profit-loss-line.mdx).
- Chart examples (live demos on
/charts/[slug])
- Add examples to the corresponding gallery route (e.g. profit/loss variants under /charts/line-chart, not only a new docs preview). - If the feature is a new chart kind, add its slug to apps/web/components/charts/chart-slugs.ts and register examples in apps/web/components/charts/chart-examples.tsx (CHARTNAVITEMS / factory registry as appropriate). - Reuse or mirror the prop variants you validated in the scaffolding phase.
- Dedicated doc page (when shipping a new composable or chart kind)
- Add apps/web/content/docs/components/<name>.mdx with frontmatter, <ComponentPreview>, installation, usage, and props — consistent with existing component docs. - Add the slug to apps/web/content/docs/components/meta.json (desktop sidebar). - Add an entry to apps/web/components/docs/site-header.tsx (mobile nav).
3. Studio
- Update the existing studio chart when the feature is a variant of an existing type, or add a new studio chart when it is a distinct kind.
- Wire all tunable props into studio (if not already done while prototyping):
- packages/studio/src/lib/studio-parsers.ts — URL state keys and defaults - packages/studio/src/lib/registry-control-groups.ts — control groups - packages/studio/src/lib/registry.tsx — render preview + generateCode - packages/studio/src/lib/studio-components.ts — layer tree - Chart-type defaults in packages/studio/src/components/studio-state-provider.tsx when switching chart type
4. Rebuild the shadcn registry
- From the repo root: run
pnpm registry:build. - This updates
apps/web/public/r/frompackages/ui. Ensure new components are listed inpackages/ui/registry.jsonwhen they should be installable via shadcn.
5. Lint, format, test, and build
Run from repo root until clean:
pnpm lint
pnpm format
pnpm --filter @bklitui/ui test # when package logic changed
pnpm build
pnpm registry:build # if not already run in step 4
Fix all errors; repeat until hooks pass on commit.
6. Commit, push, and open a PR
- Commit with a short, clear message (e.g.
feat(charts): add ProfitLossLine component). - Push the branch.
- Open a PR with the ship checklist filled in (see below).
PR checklist
- Chart/component moved to
packages/uiand exported - Existing docs updated with new props/features (standard preview unchanged)
- Gallery examples on the correct
/charts/**route - Dedicated doc page + sidebar + mobile nav (if new composable/chart kind)
- Studio chart updated or added with all props in control groups
- Registry rebuilt (
pnpm registry:build) -
pnpm lint, tests (if applicable), andpnpm buildpass
