Add smooth-glow-up skill — the Presence design language#282
Merged
Conversation
Sibling to smooai-glow-up (Aurora), adapted for a terminal-first product. Aurora spends a teal->gold->coral spectrum as HEAT on a cool midnight ground; Presence spends color as PRESENCE and ATTENTION on a warm ground — the teal->blue `th` gradient reserved for Big Smooth's own presence, amber meaning only "he needs you", coral for "yes". Grounded in the real implementation (smooth-code/src/theme.rs, smooth-web globals.css th-f1a1f0) and covers the TUI, CLI output, and web SPA, with the terminal translation of web ideas (border not glass, foreground-only styling — background fills fight the user's terminal theme — form not just color), pipe/NO_COLOR safety, and verification via TestBackend snapshots + tmux capture-pane.

What
A sibling to smooai's
smooai-glow-up(Aurora), adapted for Smooth — a terminal-first product.Presence is not Aurora, and the skill says so explicitly so the two don't bleed into each other:
thface, reserved for Big Smooth himselfThe organizing idea: the teal→blue
thgradient is Big Smooth's face — it marks where he is present (his turns, his mark, his heartbeat) and nothing else. Chrome never wears the face. Amber means exactly one thing: "he needs you."Grounded in what ships
Not invented — derived from the real implementation:
crates/smooth-code/src/theme.rs(every color + semantic style fn already lives there) andcrates/smooth-web/web/src/globals.css(the documented "Presence theme", th-f1a1f0). The skill tells you to extend those, never to hardcode at call sites.The genuinely new part: terminal translation
Web design advice doesn't survive contact with a terminal, so the skill maps intent → medium: border instead of glass, per-character gradients only across a word or two, one blank line instead of a shadow. Plus the rules a TUI actually needs:
NO_COLOR/piped output has no color and ~8% of users can't read a hue distinction.thoutput;--jsonstays unstyled and stable.TestBackendsnapshots +tmux capture-pane, and checking the degraded paths (NO_COLOR=1, 80 columns, non-TTY).Placed at
.claude/skills/to mirror wheresmooai-glow-uplives in its own repo, and because these surfaces only exist here.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
