angular

A guide to modern Angular, a framework for building web applications, using standalone components, signals, built-in control flow, and dependency injection. It targets Angular 20 and newer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build, refactor, or debug Angular applications, including components, state, deferred loading, HTTP resources, RxJS integration, and SignalStore.
Why use it?
It keeps Angular code aligned with current APIs and avoids older patterns unless they are needed during migration. It also clarifies when a question belongs to React, Next.js, Vue, or another tool.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

angular 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/verify.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Angular — Standalone, Signals, Zoneless (Angular 20/21+)

Build Angular the way it ships in 2026: standalone components, signals as the reactivity model, zoneless change detection, built-in control flow, and inject() DI. Treat NgModules, *ngFor, and @Input() decorators as legacy you only touch to migrate.

Not this skill

AngularJS (1.x) is out of scope entirely — this skill is Angular 2+ only and the APIs do not map. Route elsewhere for React../react/SKILL.md; Next.js App Router../nextjs/SKILL.md; Vue/Nuxt, Svelte, SolidJS, Astro../vue-nuxt/SKILL.md, ../svelte/SKILL.md, ../solid-js/SKILL.md, ../astro/SKILL.md; a pure TypeScript language question (generics, narrowing, tsconfig) with no Angular dimension → ../typescript/SKILL.md; a standalone NestJS API../nestjs/SKILL.md; a generic Node service → ../nodejs/SKILL.md; cross-framework Playwright e2e strategy../testing-web/SKILL.md / ../e2e-testing/SKILL.md. Angular Universal SSR and Angular's own ng test (Vitest) setup stay here.

Decide first

Situation Do this Why
Greenfield app / new feature Zoneless + signals + standalone by default. ng new (Angular 21) already excludes Zone.js. The defaults shipped stable in v20-v21; fight them and you write more code that the framework now does for you.
Brownfield NgModule + decorator app Migrate incrementally with the schematics in references/migration.md (NgModule→standalone, control flow, decorator→signal inputs, Zone.js→zoneless, Karma→Vitest); do not rewrite. Keep Zone.js until you flip it on purpose. A working app that uses *ngIf is not a bug. Churn introduces risk for no user value.
"View not updating" complaint Jump to the change-detection section: signal not read in template, OnPush without a signal, or stale Zone.js assumption. Zoneless means a mutation that no signal observes will never repaint — the fix is structural, not a detectChanges() call.

What ships with it

5 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.

Changes

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.

angular is a skill published in the GitHub repository ericrisco/rsc-harness (58 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 3,402 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
