## AI-Assisted Development

This package ships with **LLM Agent Skills** — structured knowledge files that teach AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, JetBrains AI, etc.) how to work with Ignite UI for React. The skill files are included in the [`igniteui-react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/igniteui-react) package and also live in the [`skills/`](https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-react/tree/master/skills) directory:


Ignite UI for React provides a complete AI toolchain — **Agent Skills**, the **Ignite UI CLI MCP server**, the **Ignite UI Theming MCP server**, and the **MAKER MCP server** — that grounds AI coding assistants in correct component APIs, import paths, and design tokens.

### Add AI toolchain to an existing project

Run this command from the root of your project:

```bash
ig ai-config
```

This copies Agent Skills into the agent discovery path and writes MCP server entries to `.vscode/mcp.json`.

### Start a new project with AI toolchain

Run the Ignite UI CLI to scaffold a new React project with the AI toolchain configured from the start:

```bash
ig new
```

The CLI prompts for project name and theme, installs dependencies, and configures Agent Skills and MCP servers in a single interactive flow. If the CLI is not installed globally, use `npm install -g igniteui-cli`.

### Agent Skills

This package ships with **Agent Skills** — structured, developer-owned instruction packages that tell AI coding assistants exactly how to use Ignite UI for React. The skill files are included in the [`igniteui-react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/igniteui-react) package and also live in the [`skills/`](https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-react/tree/master/skills) directory.

I liked the original description paragraph we use across repos better, the "developer-owned instruction packages" says a lot of words, but can't tell what it means TBH.

| Skill | Description |
|:------|:------------|
| **components** | Identify the right React components (`Igr*`) for a UI pattern, then install, import, and use them — JSX patterns, events, refs, forms, Next.js setup |
| **customize-theme** | Customize styling using CSS custom properties, Sass, and the theming system in React |
| **optimize-bundle-size** | Reduce bundle size with granular imports, tree-shaking, and lazy loading |

When a Skill is active in the AI client, the agent follows the Skill instead of relying on general training data — which may reference outdated API signatures or import paths. The Skill package is developer-owned: edit the `SKILL.md` to match your team's conventions, add project-specific patterns, and version the package alongside your codebase.

> **Note:** All AI toolchain commands require Ignite UI CLI 16.0.0 or newer.

You can start evaluating Ignite UI AI assistance with the MCP servers alone — Ignite UI does not need to be installed in your project. Agent Skills become available once you install Ignite UI packages.

### Add AI toolchain to an existing project

Run this command from the root of your project:

```bash
npx igniteui-cli ai-config
```

This copies Agent Skills into the agent discovery path and writes MCP server entries to `.vscode/mcp.json`. After the command finishes, start the MCP servers in your AI client — they are configured but not yet running.

### Start a new project with AI toolchain

Run the Ignite UI CLI to scaffold a new React project with the AI toolchain configured from the start:

```bash
ig new
```

The CLI prompts for project name and theme, installs dependencies, and configures Agent Skills and MCP servers in a single interactive flow. If the CLI is not installed globally, use `npm install -g igniteui-cli`.
