  • 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.

  • 12 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 Listview AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

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.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/syncfusion/maui-ui-components-skills/tree/master/skills/syncfusion-maui-listview
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

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-listview .claude/skills/syncfusion-maui-listview
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Syncfusion Maui Listview 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 Listview 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 Listview 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 ListView

A comprehensive skill for implementing, customizing, and optimizing the Syncfusion .NET MAUI ListView (SfListView) component. The ListView displays collections of data with support for layouts, sorting, filtering, grouping, selection, and rich customization options.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Display Collections: Show lists of data items from any data source (ObservableCollection, List, etc.)
  • Data Operations: Implement sorting, filtering, or grouping of list items
  • Custom Layouts: Create linear or grid layouts with single or multiple columns
  • User Interaction: Enable item selection (single/multiple), tapping, long-press, or double-tap
  • Advanced Features: Add swipe actions, drag-and-drop reordering, pull-to-refresh, or load more
  • Customization: Design custom item templates, headers, footers, or group headers
  • Performance: Optimize list rendering for large datasets with virtualization
  • MVVM Patterns: Implement ListView with data binding, commands, and ViewModels

Common Scenarios:

  • Product catalogs, contact lists, inbox/email lists
  • News feeds, social media posts, photo galleries
  • Settings pages, navigation menus, file browsers
  • Task lists, order history, transaction records
  • Any scrollable collection of similar items

Component Overview

SfListView is a high-performance, feature-rich list control that:

  • Renders data items using built-in or custom templates
  • Supports optimized view reusing strategy for smooth scrolling
  • Provides linear and grid layouts with orientation support
  • Enables data operations (sort, filter, group) without re-binding
  • Offers multiple selection modes and gestures
  • Includes sticky headers, footers, and group headers
  • Supports item swipe actions and drag-and-drop
  • Handles large datasets efficiently with virtualization

Frequently asked questions

What does the Syncfusion Maui Listview AI skill do?

Implements Syncfusion® .NET MAUI ListView (SfListView). Use when displaying lists or collections of data in MAUI applications, implementing data grids, creating scrollable item lists, or adding sorting/filtering/grouping. Covers item selection, layout customization, swipe actions, pull-to-refresh, load more, and drag-drop items.

Why use Syncfusion Maui Listview on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Syncfusion Maui Listview 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 Listview 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-listview. 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 Listview?

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 Listview?

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

Is the Syncfusion Maui Listview 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.
