What it does

Avalonia Zafiro Development is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Mandatory skills, conventions, and behavioral rules for Avalonia UI development using the Zafiro toolkit.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `avalonia-reactive-rules.md`, `core-technical-skills.md` and `naming-standards.md`).

It works with Avalonia. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/avalonia-zafiro-development”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Functional-Reactive MVVM: Pure MVVM logic using DynamicData and ReactiveUI.
  2. Safety & Predictability: Explicit error handling with Result types and avoidance of exceptions for flow control.
  3. Cross-Platform Excellence: Strictly Avalonia-independent ViewModels and composition-over-inheritance.
  4. Zafiro First: Leverage existing Zafiro abstractions and helpers to avoid redundancy.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c0ca7da. 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.

    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.

Context cost

Avalonia Zafiro Development loads about 446 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 179 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~446

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Avalonia Zafiro Development

This skill defines the mandatory conventions and behavioral rules for developing cross-platform applications with Avalonia UI and the Zafiro toolkit. These rules prioritize maintainability, correctness, and a functional-reactive approach.

Core Pillars

  1. Functional-Reactive MVVM: Pure MVVM logic using DynamicData and ReactiveUI.
  2. Safety & Predictability: Explicit error handling with Result types and avoidance of exceptions for flow control.
  3. Cross-Platform Excellence: Strictly Avalonia-independent ViewModels and composition-over-inheritance.
  4. Zafiro First: Leverage existing Zafiro abstractions and helpers to avoid redundancy.

Guides

Procedure Before Writing Code

  1. Search First: Search the codebase for similar implementations or existing Zafiro helpers.
  2. Reusable Extensions: If a helper is missing, propose a new reusable extension method instead of inlining complex logic.
  3. Reactive Pipelines: Ensure DynamicData operators are used instead of plain Rx where applicable.
