Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
4 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by syncfusion on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Syncfusion Maui Docklayout AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/syncfusion/maui-ui-components-skills/tree/master/skills/syncfusion-maui-docklayout
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/syncfusion/maui-ui-components-skills.git /tmp/maui-ui-components-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/maui-ui-components-skills/skills/syncfusion-maui-docklayout .claude/skills/syncfusion-maui-docklayout

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Syncfusion Maui Docklayout in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Syncfusion Maui Docklayout on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Syncfusion Maui Docklayout is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Implementing .NET MAUI DockLayout

Guide users to implement Syncfusion .NET MAUI DockLayout (SfDockLayout), a versatile layout control that enables developers to arrange and dock child elements to specific edges (top, bottom, left, right) or center, providing a robust framework for designing complex user interfaces in mobile and desktop applications.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when users need to:

Create docking layouts with elements positioned at specific edges
Build dashboard interfaces with multiple regions (header, footer, sidebar, content)
Implement adaptive layouts that respond to screen sizes and orientations
Position UI elements at top, bottom, left, right, or center of a container
Configure spacing between docked elements (horizontal and vertical)
Control last child expansion to fill remaining space
Support Right-to-Left (RTL) layouts for internationalization
Work with .NET MAUI applications using Syncfusion components

Component Overview

The SfDockLayout control provides:

Flexible Docking: Dock children to Top, Bottom, Left, Right, or None (center)
Adaptive Layouts: Automatically adapts to various screen sizes and orientations
Customizable Spacing: Configure horizontal and vertical spacing between elements
Last Child Expansion: Option to expand the last child to fill remaining space
RTL Support: Full Right-to-Left layout support for internationalization
Programmatic Control: GetDock() and SetDock() methods for runtime manipulation

Frequently asked questions

What does the Syncfusion Maui Docklayout AI skill do?

Why use Syncfusion Maui Docklayout on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Syncfusion Maui Docklayout is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Syncfusion Maui Docklayout in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/syncfusion/maui-ui-components-skills/tree/master/skills/syncfusion-maui-docklayout. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Syncfusion Maui Docklayout?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Syncfusion Maui Docklayout?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Syncfusion Maui Docklayout with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Syncfusion Maui Docklayout AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by syncfusion. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
