+DevExpress AI Skills is a public repository of reusable agent skills for DevExpress products (including DevExtreme). DevExtreme-specific skills are located in the [skills](https://github.com/DevExpress/agent-skills/tree/main/plugins/dx-devextreme/skills/skills) folder of the [DevExpress/agent-skills](https://github.com/DevExpress/agent-skills) repository and are designed for AI coding assistants, such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, and JetBrains AI Assistant.
+
+Use these skills when you want an AI assistant to follow DevExpress-specific patterns, use feature/task-specific APIs, and generate code that corresponds to the product and framework with which you are working.
+
+## What Each Skill Contains
+
+- Product-specific guidance for common DevExtreme scenarios
+- Correct API names, import paths, and configuration patterns
+- Ready-to-run examples for common scenarios
+- Reusable instructions you can copy into a project-level or global skills folder
+
+## DevExtreme Skills
+
+This repository includes skills for the following DevExtreme components and features:
+

+
+## How to Use the Repository
+
+1. Open the [skills](https://github.com/DevExpress/agent-skills/tree/main/plugins/dx-devextreme/skills/skills) folder in the DevExpress/agent-skills repository.
+2. Copy all skill folders you need to your AI assistant's skills directory.
+3. Start a chat in agent mode and ask a product-specific question.
+
+For agent-specific and IDE-specific setup instructions, refer to the [repository README](https://github.com/DevExpress/agent-skills/blob/main/README.md).
+
+## When to Use AI Skills and When to Use MCP
+
+For best results, use DevExpress AI Skills together with the [DevExpress MCP Server](/concepts/90%20AI%20Features/20%20DevExpress%20MCP%20Server%20Configuration/00%20DevExpress%20MCP%20Server%20Configuration.md '/Documentation/Guide/AI_Features/DevExpress_MCP_Server_Configuration/'). Skills supply curated task patterns and product-specific rules while the MCP Server adds live documentation lookup and version-sensitive details. DevExpress AI Skills and MCP Server complement each other.
+
+While DevExpress AI Skills and DevExpress MCP Server produce the best results when used together, separate usage of these tools may be beneficial in the following scenarios:
+
+- When you need the assistant to follow curated task patterns and product-specific rules without a network connection to documentation, use DevExpress AI Skills.
+- When you need live documentation lookup, version-sensitive details, or a direct connection to the DevExpress documentation library, use the DevExpress MCP Server.
+
+[note] We recommend using a top-tier model for the most accurate results. Lower-tier models may ignore skill instructions or produce less reliable output.
