frontend-ui-engineering-avalonia

frontend-ui-engineering-avalonia is a skill for Claude Code from peterblazejewicz/claude-plugins. It costs 110 tokens per session (7,294 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide for building Avalonia user interfaces with the MVVM pattern, where the screen is separated from the code that manages its state. It covers layouts, themes, keyboard use, accessibility, and bindings across desktop, mobile, and browser targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or modify Avalonia views and windows, add view-model behavior, fix visual or usability issues, and move between Avalonia versions.
Why use it?
It helps avoid common interface problems such as broken bindings, poor keyboard navigation, inaccessible controls, and layouts that fail on different screen types.

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 C, and why

frontend-ui-engineering-avalonia scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Frontend UI Engineering — Avalonia

Overview

Build production-quality Avalonia UIs that are accessible, performant, and visually polished. The goal is UI that looks like it was built by a design-aware .NET engineer at a top company — not like it was generated by an AI. That means real design-system adherence, proper keyboard navigation and screen-reader support, compiled XAML bindings for performance and type safety, thoughtful theming that respects light/dark/system variants, and no generic "AI aesthetic."

When to Use

  • Building new Avalonia views or windows
  • Modifying existing user-facing interfaces
  • Implementing adaptive layouts for desktop + mobile + browser targets
  • Adding interactivity or state management in view-models
  • Fixing visual or UX issues (binding failures, theming bugs, focus traps)
  • Migrating between Avalonia versions (11.x ↔ 12.x)

When NOT to use: backend-only changes in MyApp.Core / MyApp.Infrastructure, CLI tools, or code that doesn't render in an Avalonia view.

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.
