At a glance

Guides changes to the @handsontable/angular-wrapper package: the HotTableComponent lifecycle, NgZone performance handling, settings services and the ng-packagr build.

  • Fixing a bug in the Handsontable Angular wrapper component
  • SKILL.md covers Architecture, Modern Angular patterns (all… and Rules
  • Calls npm
  • Updating an Angular wrapper example to standalone components

What it does

The skill describes the architecture of HotTableComponent, which exposes one Input per Handsontable option, creates the grid instance in AfterViewInit against a ViewChild container, calls updateSettings() on OnChanges, and cleans up with hot.destroy() on OnDestroy. Most of the constructor and grid operations run inside NgZone.runOutsideAngular() so internal grid events skip Angular change detection. Two services divide responsibilities: HotSettingsResolver merges component inputs with the aggregate settings object, and HotGlobalConfig supplies defaults shared across instances.

It also documents modern Angular patterns expected in new or updated examples: standalone components that import HotTableModule directly, registering Handsontable modules and the license key through an ApplicationConfig in app.config.ts instead of an NgModule, always including provideZoneChangeDetection with eventCoalescing, and using Angular 17+ built-in template control flow instead of older structural directives. The build uses ng-packagr 16, and tests run with Jest and jest-preset-angular against the handsontable package's tmp output rather than its dist folder.

When your agent uses it

  • Fixing a bug in the Handsontable Angular wrapper component
  • Updating an Angular wrapper example to standalone components
  • Adding a new Input option that needs to flow through to updateSettings

Example prompts

  • “Convert this Angular wrapper example to use standalone components and app.config.ts.”
  • “Why does updateSettings not pick up my changed input in the Angular wrapper?”
  • “Run the Angular wrapper tests after rebuilding the handsontable package.”

Requirements

  • Node.js with ng-packagr 16
  • Jest with jest-preset-angular

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 68b5e97. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Handsontable Angular Wrapper Development loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 298 words (~1,028 tokens).

“Package: wrappers/angular-wrapper/; library source in projects/hot-table/src/lib/. Wrapper rules, build, and test commands: wrappers/angular-wrapper/AGENTS.md.”
