What This Skill Does

The Border skill is a powerful command-line utility for OpenClaw that enables users to programmatically generate, preview, and manage complex CSS border styles. Whether you need standard solid borders, sophisticated box-shadows, intricate outline configurations, or engaging CSS-based animations, this tool streamlines the process. By leveraging environment variables, you can create consistent, production-ready CSS snippets without manually writing boilerplate code. All generated styles are automatically persisted in a JSONL file, allowing for easy tracking, retrieval, and versioning of your design choices over time.

Installation

To integrate the Border skill into your OpenClaw agent, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bytesagain/border Ensure your environment meets the prerequisites: bash version 4 or higher and python3 version 3.6 or higher. The skill is self-contained and does not require any external npm packages or additional database software.

Use Cases

• Prototyping UI Components: Quickly generate consistent border-radius and shadow profiles for cards, buttons, or modal windows during the initial design phase.
• Design System Automation: Use the export command to generate SCSS files that match your project's design tokens, ensuring visual consistency across your application.
• Animation Testing: Use the animate feature to rapidly iterate on glow, pulse, or dash effects to find the perfect feel for interactive elements.
• Inspiration: When stuck on styling, use the 'random' command to discover unique border configurations that can serve as a starting point for creative UI tasks.

Example Prompts

1. "Apply a soft pulse animation to my .card-container using a 2px solid green border."
2. "Generate a box-shadow with an offset of 5px by 10px, 15px blur, and a semi-transparent black color, then export it as SCSS."
3. "Show me a preview of my previously saved border style with ID border_20240101_abc123."

Tips & Limitations

• Organization: Use the list command frequently to keep track of your generated styles, as the JSONL storage can grow over time.
• Persistence: Ensure your user directory has the necessary write permissions for the ~/.border/ directory so the agent can successfully store metadata and exports.
• Presets: When starting a new project, prioritize using the preset command to maintain design parity across different UI elements before customizing individual properties.
• Limitations: This tool is strictly for CSS generation and does not modify your actual source code files; it provides the code snippets for you to copy and integrate into your stylesheets.
