Agent Skills
Teach an AI coding agent how to build UIs with StellarAdmin
StellarAdmin ships a set of Claude Code skills that teach an AI coding agent how to build UIs with StellarAdmin — the component catalog, the library's conventions, and task workflows for forms, layout, and theming. With the skills installed, an agent knows the <sa-*> tag names, their attributes and enum values, and the composition rules — so it writes correct markup instead of guessing.
The skills are distributed through a plugin marketplace. They live in their own stellar-admin/skills repository, which doubles as the marketplace, so installing them is two commands.
Installation
Add the marketplace
From within Claude Code, register the StellarAdmin skills repository as a plugin marketplace.
/plugin marketplace add stellar-admin/skillsInstall the plugin
Install the stellar-admin plugin from the marketplace.
/plugin install stellar-admin@stellar-adminRefresh your skills
Newly installed skills may not appear straight away. Run /reload-skills (or restart Claude Code) so it picks up the StellarAdmin skills.
/reload-skillsThe skills are versioned independently of the StellarAdmin NuGet package — you can install them into any project, whether or not it already references StellarAdmin.
What's included
Installing the plugin adds four skills:
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
stellar-admin:tag-helpers | The anchor skill. Covers setup, the full component catalog, the library's conventions, icons, the JavaScript API, and templated views. Auto-activates when you edit .cshtml or .razor files. |
stellar-admin:forms | Building forms — fields, validation, model binding, input groups, and choice cards. |
stellar-admin:layout | Page structure — the sidebar shell, app header, page header, spacing primitives, and cards. |
stellar-admin:theming | Theme stylesheets, dark mode, design tokens, and menu color / appearance / accent configuration. |
Using the skills
The tag-helpers skill activates automatically whenever you edit a Razor view, so most of the time you don't need to do anything. You can also invoke a skill explicitly — for example, ask the agent to "build a login form with StellarAdmin" or "add a sidebar dashboard shell" — and it will pull in the relevant task skill.
The component catalog is generated directly from the library sources, so the tag names, attributes, and enum values the agent sees always match the components that ship in the package.
A stellar-admin-pro plugin covering the paid tier will ship from the same marketplace.
