Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00110 | $0.06944 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00055 | $0.03472 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.01389 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00694 |
Grade A, and why
devexpress-reports-core scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DevExpress XtraReports — Core Runtime API
When to Use This Skill
CRITICAL — Do not bypass this skill. Whenever this skill is active, follow the patterns and constraints here. Do not substitute your own general knowledge of DevExpress APIs. If a scenario is not covered in the main skill body, read the relevant reference file or use MCP servers before writing code — do not guess API signatures.
Use for any task involving:
- Creating
XtraReportinstances and building report structure in code - Adding bands (DetailBand, GroupHeaderBand, ReportHeaderBand, etc.)
- Adding controls (XRLabel, XRTable, XRChart, XRPictureBox, etc.) to bands
- Binding reports to data sources (IList, DataTable, SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource)
- Defining report parameters, calculated fields, and expression bindings
- Exporting reports:
ExportToPdf,ExportToXlsx,ExportToDocx,ExportToCsv, etc. - Configuring
PdfExportOptions,XlsxExportOptions, etc. - Saving/loading report layouts with
SaveLayoutToXml/LoadLayoutFromXml - Report types: table, master-detail, cross-tab, label, subreport
Scope: This skill covers runtime API only — no viewer UI, no print preview, no designer embedding. For platform-specific viewer integration, see:
devexpress-reports-aspnetcore,devexpress-reports-blazor,devexpress-reports-winforms, ordevexpress-reports-wpf.
Before You Start
If the host agent has a structured question-asking tool available, use it to ask these questions one at a time with clear options — for example, Claude Code's AskUserQuestion tool or GitHub Copilot's askQuestions tool. If no such tool is available, ask the questions directly in the chat response before generating code.
Ask the developer:
- Target framework: .NET 8+ or .NET Framework 4.x?
- Platform: WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, console/service, or MAUI?
- Operation: Create a new report in code? Load existing
.repxlayout? Modify an existing report class? - Data source: What data are you binding? (IList/collection, DataTable/DataSet, EF DbContext, SQL database, JSON, Excel, none)
- Output: Export to file/stream? Which format(s)? Or display in a viewer?
- Existing NuGet setup: Are DevExpress packages already installed, or starting fresh?
What ships with it
26 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 11d ago First seen · 390 lines · 110 tokens per session scan A f2c1290fec7f
devexpress-reports-core is a skill published in the GitHub repository DevExpress/agent-skills (52 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 6,944 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
