Interfaces & Data

Interfaces

Interface	Type
generate_theme.py	CLI (Python, zero-argument batch script)
palettes/	Input directory (ImageMagick palette exports)
themes/	Output directory
themes/vscode/apt-themes-extension/package.json	VSCode extension packaging surface

Produces

• VSCode theme JSON files
• Notepad++ theme XML files
• JetBrains .icls files
• Windows Terminal JSON files
• Alacritty TOML files
• Web design-token JSON files (apt-<name>-tokens.json)
• A VSIX-packagable VSCode extension folder

Consumes

• AptlantisLogos' palettes/*.txt output directly — this is the project's entire input surface
• Local filesystem paths for input/output (no configuration file or CLI flags)

Depends on

• Python 3.9+
• Node.js (optional — only needed for the .vsix packaging step)
• vsce / npx vsce (optional, packaging only)

Used by

• The operator directly
• The local VSCode extension packaging step
• Developer environments that install the generated themes for editor/terminal consistency

Pipeline position

LangThemeGenerator is the second stage of a two-project CTS pipeline: AptlantisLogos extracts a 16-color palette per logo → LangThemeGenerator turns each palette into six matching theme formats. Neither project depends on the other at the code level (no shared library, no API call) — the coupling is entirely through the shared palettes/ file format on disk, which means either project can be regenerated or replaced independently as long as that file format is preserved.
