SKILL.md

Material UI styling

Agent skill for picking the correct styling layer in Material UI (narrowest scope first). SKILL.md is the entry and index; AGENTS.md is the full guide.

When to apply

  • Choosing among sx, styled(), theme components, or global CSS for a change
  • Overriding component slots or state safely
  • Comparing sx vs styled() semantics (spacing, theme shortcuts)

Sections in AGENTS.md (by priority)

Order Topic Scope
1 Quick decision Pick sx → styled → theme → global
2 sx prop One-off / local
3 styled() Reusable wrapper
4 createTheme({ components }) All instances
5 GlobalStyles / CssBaseline HTML baseline / globals
6 sx vs styled() table Foot-gun prevention
