At a glance

Implement signal-based reactive state management in Angular v20+.

  • Creating reactive state with signal()
  • SKILL.md covers Core Signal APIs, Component State Pattern, RxJS Interop and Signal Equality, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Derived state with computed()

What it does

Angular Signals is an agent skill from Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace. Implement signal-based reactive state management in Angular v20+. Use for creating reactive state with signal(), derived state with computed(), dependent state with linkedSignal(), and side effects with effect(). Triggers on state management questions, converting from BehaviorSubject/Observable patterns to signals, or implementing reactive data flows.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/signal-patterns.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering State management. It works with Angular. The repository describes itself as: Kilo Marketplace - A curated collection of Skills, MCP Servers, and Modes for enhancing AI agent capabilities across the Kilo ecosystem—including Kilo Code (VS Code extension)… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating reactive state with signal()
  • Derived state with computed()
  • Dependent state with linkedSignal()
  • Side effects with effect()

Example prompts

  • “/angular-signals”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ff51758. 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.

Context cost

Angular Signals loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 75 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.2k

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.

Angular Signals

Signals are Angular's reactive primitive for state management. They provide synchronous, fine-grained reactivity.

Core Signal APIs

signal() - Writable State
typescript
import { signal } from '@angular/core';

// Create writable signal
const count = signal(0);

// Read value
console.log(count()); // 0

// Set new value
count.set(5);

// Update based on current value
count.update(c => c + 1);

// With explicit type
const user = signal<User | null>(null);
user.set({ id: 1, name: 'Alice' });
computed() - Derived State
typescript
import { signal, computed } from '@angular/core';

const firstName = signal('John');
const lastName = signal('Doe');

// Derived signal - automatically updates when dependencies change
const fullName = computed(() => `${firstName()} ${lastName()}`);

console.log(fullName()); // "John Doe"
firstName.set('Jane');
console.log(fullName()); // "Jane Doe"

// Computed with complex logic
const items = signal<Item[]>([]);
const filter = signal('');

const filteredItems = computed(() => {
  const query = filter().toLowerCase();
  return items().filter(item =>
    item.name.toLowerCase().includes(query)
  );
});

const totalPrice = computed(() =>
  filteredItems().reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0)
);
linkedSignal() - Dependent State with Reset
typescript
import { signal, linkedSignal } from '@angular/core';

const options = signal(['A', 'B', 'C']);

// Resets to first option when options change
const selected = linkedSignal(() => options()[0]);

console.log(selected()); // "A"
selected.set('B');       // User selects B
console.log(selected()); // "B"
options.set(['X', 'Y']); // Options change
console.log(selected()); // "X" - auto-reset to first

// With previous value access
const items = signal<Item[]>([]);

const selectedItem = linkedSignal<Item[], Item | null>({
  source: () => items(),
  computation: (newItems, previous) => {
    // Try to preserve selection if item still exists
    const prevItem = previous?.value;
    if (prevItem && newItems.some(i => i.id === prevItem.id)) {
      return prevItem;
    }
    return newItems[0] ?? null;
  },
});
effect() - Side Effects
typescript
import { signal, effect, inject, DestroyRef } from '@angular/core';

@Component({...})
export class Search {
  query = signal('');

  constructor() {
    // Effect runs when query changes
    effect(() => {
      console.log('Search query:', this.query());
    });

    // Effect with cleanup
    effect((onCleanup) => {
      const timer = setInterval(() => {
        console.log('Current query:', this.query());
      }, 1000);

      onCleanup(() => clearInterval(timer));
    });
  }
}

Effect rules:

  • Run in injection context (constructor or with runInInjectionContext)
  • Automatically cleaned up when component destroys

Component State Pattern

typescript
@Component({
  selector: 'app-todo-list',
  template: `
    <input [value]="newTodo()" (input)="newTodo.set($any($event.target).value)" />
    <button (click)="addTodo()" [disabled]="!canAdd()">Add</button>

    <ul>
      @for (todo of filteredTodos(); track todo.id) {
        <li [class.done]="todo.done">
          {{ todo.text }}
          <button (click)="toggleTodo(todo.id)">Toggle</button>
        </li>
      }
    </ul>

    <p>{{ remaining() }} remaining</p>
  `,
})
export class TodoList {
  // State
  todos = signal<Todo[]>([]);
  newTodo = signal('');
  filter = signal<'all' | 'active' | 'done'>('all');

  // Derived state
  canAdd = computed(() => this.newTodo().trim().length > 0);

  filteredTodos = computed(() => {
    const todos = this.todos();
    switch (this.filter()) {
      case 'active': return todos.filter(t => !t.done);
      case 'done': return todos.filter(t => t.done);
      default: return todos;
    }
  });

  remaining = computed(() =>
    this.todos().filter(t => !t.done).length
  );

  // Actions
  addTodo() {
    const text = this.newTodo().trim();
    if (text) {
      this.todos.update(todos => [
        ...todos,
        { id: crypto.randomUUID(), text, done: false }
      ]);
      this.newTodo.set('');
    }
  }

  toggleTodo(id: string) {
    this.todos.update(todos =>
      todos.map(t => t.id === id ? { ...t, done: !t.done } : t)
    );
  }
}

RxJS Interop

toSignal() - Observable to Signal
typescript
import { toSignal } from '@angular/core/rxjs-interop';
import { interval } from 'rxjs';

@Component({...})
export class Timer {
  private http = inject(HttpClient);

  // From observable - requires initial value or allowUndefined
  counter = toSignal(interval(1000), { initialValue: 0 });

  // From HTTP - undefined until loaded
  users = toSignal(this.http.get<User[]>('/api/users'));

  // With requireSync for synchronous observables (BehaviorSubject)
  private user$ = new BehaviorSubject<User | null>(null);
  currentUser = toSignal(this.user$, { requireSync: true });
}
toObservable() - Signal to Observable
typescript
import { toObservable } from '@angular/core/rxjs-interop';
import { switchMap, debounceTime } from 'rxjs';

@Component({...})
export class Search {
  query = signal('');

  private http = inject(HttpClient);

  // Convert signal to observable for RxJS operators
  results = toSignal(
    toObservable(this.query).pipe(
      debounceTime(300),
      switchMap(q => this.http.get<Result[]>(`/api/search?q=${q}`))
    ),
    { initialValue: [] }
  );
}

Signal Equality

typescript
// Custom equality function
const user = signal<User>(
  { id: 1, name: 'Alice' },
  { equal: (a, b) => a.id === b.id }
);

// Only triggers updates when ID changes
user.set({ id: 1, name: 'Alice Updated' }); // No update
user.set({ id: 2, name: 'Bob' }); // Triggers update

Untracked Reads

typescript
import { untracked } from '@angular/core';

const a = signal(1);
const b = signal(2);

// Only depends on 'a', not 'b'
const result = computed(() => {
  const aVal = a();
  const bVal = untracked(() => b());
  return aVal + bVal;
});

Service State Pattern

typescript
@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class Auth {
  // Private writable state
  private _user = signal<User | null>(null);
  private _loading = signal(false);

  // Public read-only signals
  readonly user = this._user.asReadonly();
  readonly loading = this._loading.asReadonly();
  readonly isAuthenticated = computed(() => this._user() !== null);

  private http = inject(HttpClient);

  async login(credentials: Credentials): Promise<void> {
    this._loading.set(true);
    try {
      const user = await firstValueFrom(
        this.http.post<User>('/api/login', credentials)
      );
      this._user.set(user);
    } finally {
      this._loading.set(false);
    }
  }

  logout(): void {
    this._user.set(null);
  }
}
