Angular Developer is an agent skill from radix-ng/primitives. Angular framework reference for building this signals-first, headless directive library. Consult for API/best-practice details on reactivity (signal, computed, linkedSignal, effect, afterRenderEffect), Signal Forms, signal-based inputs/outputs, host bindings, dependency injection (inject, InjectionToken, providers, injection context, hierarchical injectors), headless accessible component patterns (ARIA), and Vitest testing.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including reference files (for example `references/angular-aria.md`, `references/components.md` and `references/defining-providers.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Accessibility, Design patterns and Unit testing. It works with Angular, pnpm and Vitest. The repository describes itself as: Headless, signals-first UI primitives for Angular. Accessible. Customizable. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accessibility
  • Tasks that involve Design patterns
  • Tasks that involve Unit testing

Example prompts

  • “/angular-developer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check the Angular version first (packages/primitives/package.json peers — currently Angular 21).
  2. Tooling is Nx + pnpm, not the Angular CLI. Do not run ng new / ng generate / ng build.
  3. Prefer signals end to end (input(), output(), model(), computed(), linkedSignal(),

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eed2a31. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

Angular Developer loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~20k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 362 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~137
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~20k

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 Developer Guidelines (library edition)

This is the Radix NG primitives library — a signals-first, headless set of Angular directives, not an application. Use these references for authoritative Angular framework details; for anything repo-specific (build/test commands, naming, the createContext DI pattern, story conventions, the CDK phase-out, the ngOn*-hook lint rule) CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills/project-knowledge take precedence.

Working rules:

  1. Check the Angular version first (packages/primitives/package.json peers — currently Angular 21). Feature availability and best practice vary across versions.
  2. Tooling is Nx + pnpm, not the Angular CLI. Do not run ng new / ng generate / ng build. Scaffold by hand following the new-primitive checklist in CLAUDE.md, and verify with pnpm primitives:build / pnpm primitives:test.
  3. Prefer signals end to end (input(), output(), model(), computed(), linkedSignal(), effect()), and the constructor / DestroyRef / afterNextRender over ngOn* lifecycle hooks (see the Lifecycle section of CLAUDE.md and patterns.md).

Reactivity and state

The core of this library. Consult:

  • Signals overview: signal, computed, reactive contexts, untracked. Read signals-overview.md
  • linkedSignal: writable state derived from source signals (used widely, e.g. the CVA value source). Read linked-signal.md
  • effect / side effects: third-party DOM, afterRenderEffect, and when NOT to use effects. Read effects.md

Components and directives

Authoring patterns for the directive parts and the few component-based parts:

  • Components fundamentals: anatomy, metadata, control flow (@if/@for/@switch). Read components.md
  • Inputs: signal inputs, transforms, model inputs. Read inputs.md
  • Outputs: signal outputs and custom-event best practices. Read outputs.md
  • Host elements: host bindings and attribute injection (every primitive exposes state via host + data-*). Read host-elements.md
Show full SKILL.md (120 more words)Show less

Dependency injection

The createContext pattern is InjectionToken + providers + inject(), so DI fundamentals matter:

  • DI fundamentals: overview and the inject() function. Read di-fundamentals.md
  • Defining providers: InjectionToken, useClass/useValue/useFactory, scopes. Read defining-providers.md
  • Injection context: where inject() is allowed, runInInjectionContext, assertInInjectionContext (relevant to constructor-vs-effect timing). Read injection-context.md
  • Hierarchical injectors: ElementInjector vs EnvironmentInjector, optional/skipSelf, providers vs viewProviders. Read hierarchical-injectors.md

Accessibility — headless ARIA patterns

Directly on-mission for this library:

  • Angular ARIA components: building headless, accessible Accordion, Listbox, Combobox, Menu, Tabs, Toolbar, Tree, Grid, and styling ARIA attributes. Read angular-aria.md

Forms

The library exposes controls via ControlValueAccessor and is being readied for Signal Forms (RdxFormValueControl / RdxFormCheckboxControl — see signal-forms-readiness.md):

Can I use Angular Developer in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add radix-ng/primitives --skill angular-developer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/angular-developer, .gemini/skills/angular-developer, .github/skills/angular-developer and .opencode/skills/angular-developer in your project.

What does Angular Developer need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Angular Developer needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pnpm).

Does Angular Developer access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Angular Developer safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
