Cometchat Angular V5 Patterns

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Monorepo tooling

Example prompts

• “add cometchat to my nx workspace”
• “ngmodule not standalone”
• “angular universal ssr”
• “/cometchat-angular-v5-patterns”

Requirements

• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): @cometchat/chat-uikit-angular ^5 (5.1.0–5.2.0 verified); Angular 17-21; CLI or Nx

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Kit components in declarations → Angular error; they belong in imports.
2. 2Unguarded init under SSR → window is not defined at build or first request.
3. 3Init inside a lazy chunk → runs late, or twice.
4. 4Nx: env/styles edited at the workspace root → silently no effect; they belong to the app project.
5. 5Signals and observables for the same value → two update paths, drifting UI.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 911b108. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  @cometchat/chat-uikit-angular ^5 (5.1.0–5.2.0 verified); Angular 17-21; CLI or Nx

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Cometchat Angular V5 Patterns loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 622 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~90

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Angular project-shape glue for CometChat — Angular CLI vs Nx, standalone vs NgModule, environment file wiring, SSR/Angular Universal, lazy routes, and RxJS/signals state patterns. Triggers: 'add cometchat to my nx workspace', 'ngmodule not standalone', 'angular universal ssr', 'lazy load the chat route', 'window is not defined'.
