Action definitions and keyboard shortcuts in GPUI. Use when implementing actions, keyboard shortcuts, or key bindings.
Async operations and background tasks in GPUI. Use when working with async, spawn, background tasks, or concurrent operations. Essential for handling async I/O, long-running computations, and coordinating between foreground UI updates and background work.
How to use the gpui-component UI library in GPUI applications, and the normative Design and Coding Guides that govern it. Use when building UIs with gpui-component components (Button, Input, Select, Dialog, Tabs, Sidebar, List, Table, etc.), setting up the library, handling component state or theming, finding the right component for a UI need, and also when designing layouts, spacing, visual hierarchy, or interaction states, writing interface copy, or making application architecture, state-ownership, or public API decisions.
GPUI styling system including theme design, responsive layouts, visual design patterns, and style composition. Use when user needs help with styling, theming, or visual design in GPUI.
How to build desktop applications with GPUI Kit, the Rust framework published as the gpui-kit crate (GPUI plus gpui_kit::component, gpui_kit::base, gpui_kit::assets). Use when setting up a gpui-kit app, choosing or using a component (Button, Input, Select, Dialog, Sheet, Tabs, Sidebar, List, DataTable, Tree, Chart, etc.), handling component state, theming, or window overlays, and for GPUI mechanics: actions and keybindings, async tasks, contexts, custom elements, entities, events, focus, global state, layout and styling, ElementId, and tests. Holds the normative Coding Guides: read them before any architecture, state-ownership, public API, naming, or testing decision. Pairs with the gpui-kit-design-guides skill for the Design Guides.
Context management in GPUI including App, Window, and AsyncApp. Use when working with contexts, entity updates, or window operations. Different context types provide different capabilities for UI rendering, entity management, and async operations.
Writing tests for GPUI applications. Use when testing components, async operations, or UI behavior.
Generates Rust code for GPUI desktop UI components following Zed editor patterns. Use when building desktop applications with gpui crate, creating themed UI components, implementing autocomplete/completions, building command palettes, or working with the gpui-component library. Covers RenderOnce components, Entity state management, theming with ActiveTheme, and Zed-style UI patterns.
GPUI UI framework best practices for building desktop applications. Use when writing GPUI code, creating UI components, handling state/events, async tasks, animations, lists, forms, testing, or working with Zed-style Rust GUI code.
Build, scaffold, refactor, debug, review, and visually validate production Rust desktop interfaces with GPUI. Use for setting up a production-ready GPUI starter app; new GPUI apps or components; Entity, Context, action, async, and lifecycle architecture; Apple-style macOS UI, Liquid Glass or translucent materials, motion, gestures, focus, keyboard, accessibility, text input, IME, clipboard, drag and drop, menus, multi-window behavior, and restoration; packaging, CI, performance, and testing work; or translating selected Paper.design frames into maintainable GPUI code with screenshot comparison. Covers published GPUI and pinned Zed revisions, macOS/Linux/Windows boundaries, narrow AppKit interop, and stability audits.
The normative Design Guides for GPUI Kit desktop applications. Read in full before designing or changing any screen, layout, spacing, visual hierarchy, color, density, component choice, interaction state, overlay, motion, data-heavy view, or interface copy in a GPUI Kit (gpui-kit / gpui-component) application, and before reviewing UI work for design quality. Also use when asked what the design rules are, or whether a UI decision follows them.
Implementing custom elements using GPUI's low-level Element API (vs. high-level Render/RenderOnce APIs). Use when you need maximum control over layout, prepaint, and paint phases for complex, performance-critical custom UI components that cannot be achieved with Render/RenderOnce traits.
