igniteui-angular-grids

A reference guide for building data grids in Angular with Ignite UI, including flat, tree, hierarchical, pivot, and lightweight grids.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up grids and configure columns, sorting, filtering, selection, editing, grouping, summaries, exports, paging, remote data, and saved grid state.
Why use it?
It helps avoid relying on outdated grid details by directing the agent to the relevant reference material before answering or writing code.

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

igniteui-angular-grids 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.

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.

Ignite UI for Angular — Data Grids

MANDATORY AGENT PROTOCOL — YOU MUST FOLLOW THIS BEFORE PRODUCING ANY OUTPUT

This file is a routing hub only. It contains NO code examples and NO API details.

DO NOT write any code, component selectors, import paths, method names, or property names from memory. Grid APIs change between versions. Anything generated without reading the reference files will be wrong.

You are required to complete ALL of the following steps before producing any grid-related code or answer:

STEP 1 — Identify the grid type. Use the Grid Selection Decision Guide below. If the grid type is not explicitly stated, infer it from context or ask.

STEP 2 — Identify every task category involved. Map the user's request to one or more rows in the Task → Reference File table below. A single request often spans multiple categories (e.g., remote paging AND editing requires reading both paging-remote.md AND editing.md).

STEP 3 — Read every identified reference file in full (PARALLEL). Call read_file (or equivalent) on all reference files identified in Step 2 in a single parallel batch — do NOT read them one at a time sequentially. You must do this even if you believe you already know the answer. Do not skip, skim, or partially read a reference file.

STEP 4 — Only then produce output. Base your code and explanation exclusively on what you read in Step 3. If the reference files do not cover something, say so explicitly rather than guessing.

What ships with it

8 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.

igniteui-angular-grids is a skill published in the GitHub repository IgniteUI/igniteui-cli (136 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 164 tokens to every session and 2,090 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
