The Coline design system: accessible React components for Coline Apps, themed live by the host workspace, and for Coline Sites in light and dark. Tailwind v4 stylesheet included. MIT.
The Coline design system for tier-2 (React) Coline Apps — the same components the Coline platform itself uses, themed live by the host workspace. Your app automatically matches the user's theme, including dark mode and brand accents, with no theme code of your own.

ColineAppProvider — connects the sandbox bridge and provides context.useColine (the capability API), useColineContext (workspace /
surface / file context), useColineQuery (data fetching with
loading/error state), useColorScheme.styles.css — the compiled stylesheet; theme tokens are overridden at
runtime by the host, so one CSS file serves every workspace theme.Used inside a Coline App's react-tier surface ({ tier: "react", entry: "main.tsx" } in the manifest). Scaffold a working app with
npx create-coline-app my-app.

Run coline-app check before pushing: it checks types, the manifest, hosted logic,
and the React bundle without uploading. dev --internal updates one development
version; install it in the workspace and reload after changes. The CLI bundles
from the app's installed dependencies and preserves imported CSS and inline assets.
Compile app-specific Tailwind utilities to CSS before importing them.
The starter includes a React home and editor, tree mobile fallback, and a tool.
Use coline.tools.invoke or actions.invokeTool to run the same declared tool
from UI that Kairo runs. Save with expectedVersion to detect concurrent edits.
Homes/editors can write within grants; previews and server render handlers cannot.
tests the interactive contract and
simulates revoked consent.
createTestWorkspace(app).client()grantedPermissionsNew tasks, calendar, messages, and references capabilities require their
explicit manifest permissions and retain the invoking user's workspace access.
Use files.list({ scope: "workspace" }) for shared files; document writes stay
with the owning app. Collections are install-private. Code integration and a
native mobile React runtime are separate work.
useLiveCollection<RecordType>("collection", { where, orderBy, limit }) returns
records, pending, status, error, nextCursor, insert, update, delete,
setAccess, and refresh. Inline query objects are supported. Mutations update
local UI immediately and reject on conflicts or permission failures; catch their
promises to present the error. The hook owns subscription cleanup and reconnect
recovery. Use filtered/paged views (at most 200 records), not an entire workspace
in one hook. Structured-record sync does not imply CRDT text editing or offline
write persistence.
