cometchat-angular-core
Purpose
This is the foundational skill for every CometChat Angular UI Kit v4 integration using the shared uikit-wb-source internally. It teaches Claude HOW CometChat works in Angular — initialization order, UIKitSettingsBuilder pattern, login, environment config, module imports, and the anti-patterns that break real apps.
Supported Angular versions: 12, 13, 14, and 15. Angular 16+ (Signals / standalone-first) is not covered by this skill set.
Read this skill first, before any placement or patterns skill.
Ground truth: docs/ui-kit/angular/getting-started, docs/ui-kit/angular/methods, @cometchat/chat-uikit-angular@4.x exports, @cometchat/uikit-shared exports, @cometchat/uikit-resources exports.
1. The init-login-render order
CometChat Angular has exactly one valid lifecycle:
CometChatUIKit.init(UIKitSettings) → CometChatUIKit.login({ uid }) → render <cometchat-*> components

cometchat
Entry-point for CometChat integration in any React, React Native, Angular, Android, Flutter, or iOS project — web (React/Next.js/React Router/Astro), React Native (Expo/bare), Angular (12-15), native Android (V5 stable, V6 beta), Flutter (V5 stable, V6 beta), and native iOS (V5 stable). Detects the framework, gathers requirements through an interactive conversation, and writes production-quality integration code.
31cometchat-react-nextjs
Integrate CometChat React UI Kit v6 into a Next.js project (App Router or Pages Router) using the @cometchat/skills-cli. Replaces the v1 prose skill once the CLI is published to npm.
12cometchat-theming
Customize CometChat UI to match the user's app design system. Covers the CSS variable cascade, preset themes, brand color overrides, design system extraction, dark mode, and framework-specific override locations.
10cometchat-react-reactjs
Integrate CometChat React UI Kit v6 into a React (Vite or CRA) project using the @cometchat/skills-cli. Replaces the v1 prose skill once the CLI is published to npm.
10cometchat-troubleshooting
Diagnose and fix problems with a CometChat integration. Runs verify checks, detects drift, queries the docs MCP for symptom-to-cause lookups, and proposes targeted fixes. Works on any state — broken, missing, or drifted integrations.
9cometchat-react-react-router
Integrate CometChat React UI Kit v6 into a React Router project (v6 or v7) using the @cometchat/skills-cli. Replaces the v1 prose skill once the CLI is published to npm.
