Getting Started
PO9 is a standard, not just an app. It defines .po9-skin — a portable, secure, versioned format for AI workspace themes — plus the tools to create, validate, and use them.
The three parts
Section titled “The three parts”- The Specification — what a valid
.po9-skinis. See Specification v1. - The Creator Kit — how you build one. See Creator Kit.
- The App + Validator — how skins are checked and applied. See Download.
The lifecycle
Section titled “The lifecycle”Create → Validate → Package → Import → Use. You author a folder of tokens and assets, the Validator checks it, the Packager bundles it into one .po9-skin file, and any PO9-compatible workspace imports and applies it.
