Skills for Shiny app development in both R and Python.

Overview

This category contains skills that help with building, styling, and deploying Shiny applications. Skills support both Shiny for R (using bslib) and Shiny for Python frameworks.

Available Skills

brand-yml

Create and use _brand.yml files for consistent branding across Shiny applications (R and Python) and Quarto documents. Use when working with brand styling, corporate identity, colors, fonts, or logos.

Organization: Main skill file includes workflows and decision tree. Reference files provide framework-specific integration guides:

• brand-yml-spec.md - Complete brand.yml specification
• shiny-r.md - Shiny for R integration with bslib
• shiny-python.md - Shiny for Python integration with ui.Theme
• quarto.md - Quarto integration for all formats
