Skills for Syncfusion® Toolkit for .NET MAUI components, designed for use with AI coding assistants.
This repository contains 35 AI-ready skill guides for working with Syncfusion® Toolkit for .NET MAUI controls. Each skill includes a SKILL.md file that AI coding assistants can read automatically, plus a references/ subfolder with detailed documentation covering setup, usage patterns, customization, and troubleshooting.
npx skills add https://github.com/syncfusion/maui-toolkit-ui-components-skillsThis will automatically add the skills to your workspace.
1. Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/syncfusion/maui-toolkit-ui-components-skills.git2. Add it to your VS Code workspace
Open your .code-workspace file (or create one) and add this repo as a second root folder:
{
"folders": [
{ "path": "/path/to/your-maui-app" },
{ "path": "/path/to/maui-toolkit-ui-components-skills" }
]
}3. Start asking questions
Your AI assistant will automatically detect and apply the relevant skill based on your prompt:
How do I allow users to pick dates or highlight important days?
How do I present information in a clean, modern card layout?
How do I apply a dark theme to Syncfusion controls?
No configuration required. Skills are loaded automatically from the workspace.
- An AI coding assistant that supports skills/context files (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar tools)
- .NET 9 SDK
Each SKILL.md file contains a description field in its YAML frontmatter. AI coding assistants read this description to decide when to automatically apply a skill during a conversation. When you ask about a specific Syncfusion control — for example, "How do I add items to my SegmentedControl?" — the AI assistant detects the match and loads the corresponding skill to guide its response.
You can also reference a skill explicitly by mentioning the component or control by name in your prompt.
How do I bind data to the Syncfusion SegmentedControl in .NET MAUI?
→ The AI assistant loads the SegmentedControl skill and uses its get-started and data-binding reference docs.
Help me migrate my Xamarin.Forms app to .NET MAUI.
→ The AI assistant loads the Migration skill.
Each references/ subfolder contains deeper implementation guides. When the AI assistant loads a skill, it can also pull in these files when you ask follow-up questions:
Show me how to use auto-scroll, programmatic scrolling, and proper layout in .NET MAUI Accordion?.
→ The AI assistant uses references/advanced-features.md from the Accordion skill for the detailed answer.
Every skill folder follows this layout:
