packages/cli/skills/pikku-schema-ajv/SKILL.md
Use when setting up JSON schema validation with AJV in a Pikku app. Covers AjvSchemaService for request/response validation. TRIGGER when: code uses AjvSchemaService, user asks about AJV, JSON schema validation, or @pikku/schema-ajv. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user asks about Cloudflare Workers schema validation (use pikku-schema-cfworker).

Implements the SchemaService interface from @pikku/core. This is the default schema validator for Node.js environments.
yarn add @pikku/schema-ajv
AjvSchemaServiceimport { AjvSchemaService } from '@pikku/schema-ajv'
const schema = new AjvSchemaService(logger: Logger)
Methods:
compileSchema(schema: string, value: any): void — Compile and register a JSON schemavalidateSchema(schemaName: string, json: any): void — Validate data against a compiled schema (throws on failure)getSchemaNames(): Set<string> — Get all registered schema namesgetSchemaKeys(schemaName: string): string[] — Get property keys for a schemaimport { AjvSchemaService } from '@pikku/schema-ajv'
const createSingletonServices = pikkuServices(async (config) => {
const logger = new ConsoleLogger()
const schema = new AjvSchemaService(logger)
return { config, logger, schema }
})
Pikku automatically uses the schema service to validate function inputs and outputs when schemas are defined in your function definitions.
documentation
Standard cleanup to run right after a Pikku template is cloned or scaffolded into a new project. TRIGGER when: a Pikku template was just cloned/scaffolded (via `pikku create`, `git clone <template>`, or the user says "I cloned the kanban template / starter / template"), or the working tree still looks like an untouched template (template README, placeholder `@project/*` name in package.json). DO NOT TRIGGER when: working in an established project mid-feature, or editing the template repo itself.
development
Make a Pikku frontend work in both English (LTR) and Arabic / right-to-left languages. Direction is derived from the active locale, applied once at the document root, and the layout mirrors itself — but only if styling is written flow-relative (margin-inline-start, text-align: start, Mantine ms/me) instead of left/right. TRIGGER when: adding Arabic (or Hebrew/Farsi/Urdu), asked to "support RTL / right-to-left / bidi / mirror the layout", or writing layout styles in an app that may run RTL. Builds on pikku-i18n (an RTL language is just another locale file). DO NOT TRIGGER for backend functions or for LTR-only copy changes.
development
Wire i18n into a Pikku frontend (Vite SPA, Vite SSR, or Next.js app-router) with react-i18next + i18next. English by default, every user-facing string goes through a `t()` token, and additional languages are served under `/de` `/es` URL prefixes. TRIGGER when: scaffolding or editing a frontend and writing user-facing text, adding a second language, or asked to "make this translatable / use tokens / add i18n". DO NOT TRIGGER for backend functions, error messages thrown from functions, or log output.
development
Use when translating an n8n Code node body into a real Pikku function body. Triggered when the user opens or points at a stub generated by @pikku/n8n-import (look for `STUB — generated from n8n Code node` in the file's JSDoc), or when the user says 'translate this n8n code', 'port this n8n code node', 'finish the codeStub__... function', etc. The stub file is a `pikkuSessionlessFunc` with a Zod input/output, a JSDoc preserving the original n8n JavaScript verbatim, and a `throw new Error('… — implement me')` body.
