## Companion skills (read first)
- `cometchat-ios-core` owns setup and the golden path. This skill ADDS appearance. Exact token lists live in the docs — fetch via `cometchat-ios-core/references/docs-map.md` (`theme-introduction`, `color-resources`, `component-styling`, `message-bubble-styling`).

## Use this skill when
"match our brand", "change the accent colour", "use our font", "dark mode", "restyle the bubbles", "translate the UI".

## Three levels — go global first, per-component only when you must
**1. Global theme (start here).** `CometChatTheme` exposes **static** colour vars — `primaryColor`, `extendedPrimaryColor50…900`, `neutralColor50…`, `white`, `black`. Set them once at startup, before rendering, and every component follows. This is the branding lever: one primary colour usually does the whole job.

**2. Typography.** `CometChatTypography.setFont(name:)` swaps the family app-wide. Do this alongside the theme, not per component.

**3. Per-component styles.** Each component takes a style object — `ConversationsStyle`, `SearchStyle`, `AvatarStyle`, `BadgeStyle`, `ReceiptStyle`, `StatusIndicatorStyle`, `TypingIndicatorStyle`, `DateStyle` and the per-bubble styles (`TextBubbleStyle`, `AudioBubbleStyle`, `CallBubbleStyle`, `BaseMessageBubbleStyle`, …). **These are assigned as properties, not passed through setters**: `conversations.avatarStyle = style`, `conversations.style = ConversationsStyle()`. Reach for these only when the global theme cannot express what you need.

> Style type names are **mostly un-prefixed** — it is `ConversationsStyle`, `AvatarStyle`, `DateStyle`, with no `CometChat` prefix on any of them. 491 of the kit's 638 public types are un-prefixed, so prefixing a style name is the most common way to invent a type that does not exist. Check `catalogs/ios-v5.json` before writing one.
