Finding Theme Configuration

Search priority:

1. •

   rosepinetheme.com/themes/ - Primary source with 207 ports

   • •Use WebFetch to search/browse the themes page
   • •Categories: app, CLI, editor, terminal, shell, mobile, music
2. •

   github.com/rose-pine/[app-name] - Official repositories

   • •Direct pattern: github.com/rose-pine/neovim, github.com/rose-pine/kitty, etc.
   • •Use WebFetch or gh CLI to access README
3. •

   Community contributions - Linked from main site

   • •May be under different GitHub organizations
   • •Quality varies; prefer official ports

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Application

Ask the user which application they want to theme if not specified. Common categories:

• •Terminal emulators: kitty, alacritty, wezterm, foot, ghostty
• •Editors: neovim, vim, vscode, emacs, helix
• •Shells: fish, zsh, bash
• •Desktop: gtk, kde, qt
• •Apps: discord, spotify, firefox, obsidian

Step 2: Find the Theme

WebFetch: https://rosepinetheme.com/themes/
Prompt: "Find the Rose Pine theme for [application]. Return the GitHub repository URL and any installation instructions visible."

If not found on the themes page:

WebFetch: https://github.com/rose-pine/[app-name]
Prompt: "Extract the installation instructions from this Rose Pine theme README."

Step 3: Present Options to User

Before applying, confirm:

1. •Which variant? (main, moon, dawn)
2. •Installation method (if multiple options)
3. •Configuration file location (verify it exists)

Step 4: Apply Configuration

Each application is different. Common patterns:

Config file themes (kitty, alacritty, foot):

• •Download/copy theme file to config directory
• •Add include or import statement to main config

Plugin-based (neovim, vim, emacs):

• •Add plugin to package manager
• •Configure colorscheme in config file

Manual installation (discord, spotify):

• •May require custom clients (BetterDiscord, Spicetify)
• •Follow app-specific instructions exactly

Step 5: Verify

• •Restart the application or reload configuration
• •Confirm colors applied correctly
• •Offer to switch variants if user wants to compare
