# Orchard Core Theming
Use this skill for Orchard Core theming tasks including theme creation, shape overrides, template discovery, content rendering, placement rules, and asset management.
## How to Use
- **Task match**: Scan the Tasks list below. If the request matches, go directly to the referenced files.
- **Exploration**: Use the section cues to pick a reference, then choose the relevant detail.
- Determine Razor vs Liquid early. Check the active theme for `.cshtml` (Razor) or `.liquid` files. If unclear, default to Liquid and confirm with the user.
- Open only the necessary reference files; prefer examples and ready-to-copy patterns.
## Evidence Rules
- Prefer repo evidence over assumptions: check the active theme, base theme, `placement.json`, and existing templates.
