lib-slint-expert

Build native GUI applications with Slint and Rust. Use this skill when creating desktop UI, cross-platform apps, embedded UI, declarative UI components, or reusable component libraries with Slint — prefer it over generic Rust advice for any Slint UI task.

Execute the Slint GUI development task described in $ARGUMENTS.

Steps

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, report an error requesting a description of the GUI component or application.
Read $SKILL_DIR/references/SLINT_GUIDE.md for core concepts, layout systems, styling, and animations.
If the user wants to start a new project, use the templates from $SKILL_DIR/templates/.
For additional API details or usage patterns, consult $SKILL_DIR/docs/README.md or $SKILL_DIR/examples/README.md.
Implement the required UI components and associated Rust logic based on the user's prompt.
Verify the UI handles cross-platform requirements if specified.

Examples

User Request: "Create a simple login form with Slint." Response Strategy: Generate a .slint file using VerticalLayout, TextInput for username and password, and a Button for submit. Include property bindings for the fields.

Troubleshooting

If a component fails to render, verify that the bindings between Rust ModelRc and Slint properties are correctly set up.
If performance issues are observed, ensure ListView is used for long lists and heavy property animations are optimized.
