T3 Code lets agents restyle UI

T3 Code now allows developers to fully re-skin and adjust the client interface on the fly by asking their active coding agent. The update introduces custom CSS support in theme definitions, two new MCP tools for reading and applying themes, and strict CSS sandboxing to prevent data exfiltration.

// ANALYSIS

Turning the editor UI itself into an agent-modifiable canvas is a clever evolutionary step for agent control planes. Instead of bloating core settings with endless niche toggles, T3 Code offloads personalization and bespoke accessibility needs directly to natural language.

  • –MCP tool integration: Adds `t3_theme_read` and `t3_theme_set` to the server agent's toolset, allowing agents like Claude Code or Codex to query styling guides and apply theme tokens or CSS rules directly.
  • –Strict CSS sanitization: To mitigate prompt-injection and data-exfiltration risks, the client automatically strips `@import`, `image-set()`, external network `url()` calls, and CSS escape tricks, restricting images strictly to inline `data:` URIs under 20 KB.
  • –Stable selector contracts: Exposes 29 dedicated target hooks like `[data-chat-header]` and `[data-user-message-bubble]`, giving LLMs a consistent surface to manipulate typography, layout frames, and spacing without breaking across minor updates.
  • –Solving the long tail of UX: Enables instant accessibility accommodations—such as custom scrollbar margins for users without mouse wheels—without demanding upstream UI consensus or custom forks.
