DevExpress AI Skills for Coding Agents
- 3 minutes to read
DevExpress AI Skills help coding assistants handle prompts more accurately. Each skill describes common scenarios, related APIs, and the expected implementation surface. This structure helps AI agents stay focused on the topic and produce code that better matches Blazor component APIs and recommended setup patterns.
For a general overview of the skill format, refer to the Agent Skills specification.

When to Use AI Skills
Use DevExpress AI Skills for the following tasks:
- Add and configure a DevExpress Blazor component.
- Generate a starter example that utilizes a specific component capability.
- Apply component-specific best practices during code generation. Use correct DevExpress namespaces, APIs, and configuration patterns.
AI Skills and MCP Server
DevExpress AI Skills and the DevExpress Documentation MCP Server serve different purposes:
- AI Skills guide the assistant through specific scenarios. Each skill identifies the task, the component area to focus on, and the related APIs or patterns.
- The DevExpress MCP Server allows the assistant to query current DevExpress documentation. It helps find relevant API details, examples, and conceptual articles when product-specific information is needed.
Use them together when possible. A skill can frame the task first, and the MCP Server can then provide the API details or examples needed to complete it.
For MCP Server setup instructions, refer to Connect AI Coding Assistants to DevExpress MCP Server.
