theme-designer skillA

theme-designer is agent-read markdown (skill) from alexschlessinger/polly: Author and apply a color theme for the running session with the set_theme tool, persisting it to ~/.pollytool/themes only after the user confirms. Use when the user asks to change polly's colors, match their terminal palette, fix a role that is unreadable, or save a theme for later..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Theme

Restyle the running session by setting colors for polly's fixed role
vocabulary, then persist the theme to a file only after the user agrees.

## 1. Interview first

Do not guess. One topic per message:

- **Background**: light or dark, and should the theme set its own
  `background` or sit on the terminal's? A theme is one look; a user who wants
  both a light and a dark version gets two themes with two names.
- **Match the terminal or pin RGB**: reuse the terminal's own palette slots
  (`palette:N`) and color names, or specify exact colors (`#rrggbb`)?
- **What to change**: only the roles the user complains about, or a full
  restyle? Every role you leave out keeps polly's built-in color.

## 2. Pick from the 25 roles

- **Semantic (7)**: `ok`, `err`, `run`, `accent`, `active`, `muted`, `code`.
- **Token (7)**: `syn-comment`, `syn-keyword`, `syn-string`, `syn-number`,
  `syn-func`, `syn-add`, `syn-del`. Omit a token role to inherit its
  fallback — `syn-comment`→`muted`, `syn-keyword`→`accent`, `syn-string`→`ok`,
  `syn-number`→`active`, `syn-func`→`code` (keeping its bold),
  `syn-add`→`ok`, `syn-del`→`err`. For code and diffs, usually set only the
