Use Igniteui Blazor

What it does

When your agent uses it

• : installing IgniteUI.Blazor.Lite
• IgniteUI.Blazor.GridLite
• Registering AddIgniteUIBlazor() in Blazor Server
• Split Blazor Web App projects

Example prompts

• “/use-igniteui-blazor”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1NuGet package
2. 2IgniteUI.Blazor.Lite Service Registration
3. 3_Imports.razor
4. 4Host page — theme stylesheet
5. 5Render mode (Blazor Web App only)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a660de8. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • dotnet

  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

Use Igniteui Blazor loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 231 tokens; SKILL.md has 455 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~231

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

~1.4k

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

Add, configure, or review Ignite UI for Blazor Lite component support in Blazor applications. USE FOR: installing IgniteUI.Blazor.Lite or IgniteUI.Blazor.GridLite, registering AddIgniteUIBlazor() in Blazor Server, WASM, Hybrid, or split Blazor Web App projects, adding @using IgniteUI.Blazor.Controls, wiring the theme stylesheet, picking the right host page, locating the GridLite stylesheet path, explaining single-project vs split Server/Client Web App setup differences, and checking where an interactive render mode is needed for Ignite UI components to work. DO NOT USE FOR: general Blazor component authoring without Ignite UI, choosing app architecture or render mode from scratch (see create-blazor-project), JavaScript interop (see use-js-interop), authentication (see configure-auth), prerendering (see support-prerendering), or layout/component design questions that need no Ignite UI setup.
