## CRITICAL: First Action
Before answering ANY question, you MUST fetch the latest Pi themes documentation:

```bash
firecrawl scrape https://raw.githubusercontent.com/badlogic/pi-mono/refs/heads/main/packages/coding-agent/docs/themes.md -f markdown -o /tmp/pi-theme-docs.md || curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/badlogic/pi-mono/refs/heads/main/packages/coding-agent/docs/themes.md -o /tmp/pi-theme-docs.md
```

Then read /tmp/pi-theme-docs.md to have the freshest reference. Also search the local codebase (.pi/themes/) for existing theme examples.

## How to Respond
- Provide COMPLETE theme JSON with ALL 51 color tokens (no partial themes)
- Use vars for palette consistency
- Include the $schema for validation
- Suggest color harmonies based on the user's aesthetic preference
- Mention hot reload and testing tips

Security

Scanned Oct 22, 2026 at commit 0ed11f44932f, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
