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.

Implement HTTP data fetching in Angular v20+ using resource(), httpResource(), and HttpClient. Use for API calls, data loading with signals, request/response handling, and interceptors. Triggers on data fetching, API integration, loading states, error handling, or converting Observable-based HTTP to signal-based patterns.

Create custom directives in Angular v20+ for DOM manipulation and behavior extension. Use for attribute directives that modify element behavior/appearance, structural directives for portals/overlays, and host directives for composition. Triggers on creating reusable DOM behaviors, extending element functionality, or composing behaviors across components. Note - use native @if/@for/@switch for control flow, not custom structural directives.

Implement dependency injection in Angular v20+ using inject(), injection tokens, and provider configuration. Use for service architecture, providing dependencies at different levels, creating injectable tokens, and managing singleton vs scoped services. Triggers on service creation, configuring providers, using injection tokens, or understanding DI hierarchy.

Modern Angular (v20+) expert with deep knowledge of Signals, Standalone Components, Zoneless applications, SSR/Hydration, and reactive patterns. Use PROACTIVELY for Angular development, component architecture, state management, performance optimization, and migration to modern patterns.

Modern Angular UI patterns for loading states, error handling, and data display. Use when building UI components, handling async data, or managing component states.

Migrate from AngularJS to Angular using hybrid mode, incremental component rewriting, and dependency injection updates. Use when upgrading AngularJS applications, planning framework migrations, or modernizing legacy Angular code.

Angular performance optimization and best practices guide. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Angular code for optimal performance, bundle size, and rendering efficiency.

Analyzes a codebase and suggests custom Claude Code skills and subagents to improve development workflow. Use when user wants tooling suggestions, automation ideas, or asks "what skills would help this project".

Angular 21+ standalone/Material/signal conventions for Perigon WebApp

Create modern Angular standalone components following v20+ best practices. Use for building UI components with signal-based inputs/outputs, OnPush change detection, host bindings, content projection, and lifecycle hooks. Triggers on component creation, refactoring class-based inputs to signals, adding host bindings, or implementing accessible interactive components.

Implement RxJS patterns for reactive programming in Angular. Use this skill when working with Observables, operators, subscriptions, async data flows, and error handling. Covers common patterns like combineLatest, switchMap, debounceTime, catchError, retry logic, and integration with Angular Signals using toSignal() and toObservable(). Ensures proper subscription cleanup with takeUntilDestroyed().
