The easiest thing would be to change the VirtualURIMapping to point to a
local folder for the resources instead of the DMS during theme
development if you want to develop it against live instance. Other
option is to tune your theme against the html prototype (part of the STK
bundle) and then just copy all resources into your theme. The advantage
of the prototype is that it shows all the elements produced by STK and
it is static HTML which should make your life as a designer much easier.

The magic you are referring to is performed by
info.magnolia.module.templatingkit.setup.ThemeInstallTask that installs
resources to repo while installing the module.
