AI Agent Skill

TFrameStand ships with an Agent Skill that teaches AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cowork, and any tool supporting the open SKILL.md format) how to work with TFrameStand and TFormStand. It lives in the Skills/ folder of the repository:

Skill	What it does
tframestand-development	FireMonkey UIs with TFrameStand and TFormStand: stands and the stand gallery, dialogs with a result, Back/Esc, the navigation stack, animations, Common Actions, context injection, responsive frames and the lifecycle of the subjects, with the rules that avoid the common mistakes (closing a frame inside its own click, keeping freed infos, TButton.ModalResult...).

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file (instructions, plus a description that tells the agent when to use it) and references/ files read on demand. Once installed, the agent uses it by itself when your code uses TFrameStand or you ask for dialogs, side menus, bottom sheets, pages or Back button handling in a FireMonkey app.

Since v.2.3

The skill describes v.2.3 and later: ShowModal, Back/Esc, Push/Pop, the gallery and ResponsiveMode are not in older versions.

Installation in Claude Code (recommended: plugin)

The TFrameStand repository is also a Claude plugin marketplace. From Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add andrea-magni/TFrameStand
/plugin install tframestand@tframestand

The skill is available at once and is updated when a new version is published. It can also be invoked explicitly:

/tframestand:tframestand-development

Installation with npx (any AI tool)

For other agentic tools (Cursor, Codex, ...), or without plugins, the skills CLI installs the same skill into any compatible tool (requires Node.js):

npx skills add andrea-magni/TFrameStand

Manual installation (Claude Code / Cowork)

Copy the skill folder into one of the standard skill locations:

• .claude/skills/ inside your project: project-level, shared with your team via git;
• ~/.claude/skills/: personal, available in every project.

Example, from your project root (Windows):

git clone https://github.com/andrea-magni/TFrameStand
xcopy /E /I TFrameStand\Skills\tframestand-development .claude\skills\tframestand-development

Verify with /skills, or ask the agent to show a frame as a dialog.

Other AI agents

The skill is plain Markdown in the open Agent Skills format. Agents without skill support can read it from their instructions file (AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, custom instructions...):

When working on Delphi FireMonkey code that uses TFrameStand or TFormStand, read and follow
Skills/tframestand-development/SKILL.md (and its references/ folder).

Usage examples

With the skill installed, prompts like these produce idiomatic TFrameStand code:

• "Show TColorPickerFrame as a dialog and use the chosen color when the user confirms." (ShowModal with the frame, FInfo.ModalResult in the frame, a *_cancel Common Action)
• "Add a side menu that slides in from the left and closes with the Android Back button." (the drawer stand of the gallery, CatchBackKey)
• "Turn these three frames into a wizard with Next and Back buttons." (Push/Pop, slide animations that reverse on Pop)
• "Show the orders as a list on phones and as a grid on wide windows, also when the window is resized." (Responsive.Define, ResponsiveMode = rmLive, OnResponsiveChange)
