  • 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.

  • 5 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 Radio Button 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-radio-button
  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-radio-button .claude/skills/syncfusion-maui-radio-button
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Syncfusion Maui Radio Button 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 Radio Button 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 Radio Button 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 Radio Buttons

Guide for implementing Syncfusion .NET MAUI Radio Button (SfRadioButton) - a selection control that allows users to select one option from a set with checked and unchecked states.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Implement radio buttons for mutually exclusive selections in .NET MAUI
  • Create grouped radio button sets where only one option can be selected
  • Handle radio button state changes and user interactions
  • Customize radio button appearance (colors, sizing, text styling)
  • Implement GroupKey-based or SfRadioGroup-based grouping
  • Work with radio button events (StateChanged, StateChanging)
  • Apply VisualStateManager to radio buttons
  • Create forms with single-selection options (payment methods, preferences, etc.)

Component Overview

The Syncfusion .NET MAUI Radio Button (SfRadioButton) provides:

  • Two States: Checked and unchecked with visual feedback
  • Grouping: Multiple approaches (SfRadioGroup, GroupKey) for mutual exclusion
  • Events: StateChanged and StateChanging for interaction handling
  • Customization: Extensive styling options for colors, text, sizing
  • Visual States: VisualStateManager integration for advanced styling

Frequently asked questions

What does the Syncfusion Maui Radio Button AI skill do?

Implements Syncfusion .NET MAUI Radio Button (SfRadioButton) for mutually exclusive selection controls. Use when implementing radio buttons, selection controls with mutually exclusive options, or grouped radio buttons in .NET MAUI applications. Covers radio button state management, grouping mechanisms (GroupKey or SfRadioGroup), events, and visual customization.

Why use Syncfusion Maui Radio Button on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Syncfusion Maui Radio Button 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 Radio Button 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-radio-button. 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 Radio Button?

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 Radio Button?

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

Is the Syncfusion Maui Radio Button 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.
