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.
8 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 Segmented Control 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-segmented-control
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-segmented-control .claude/skills/syncfusion-maui-segmented-control

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Syncfusion Maui Segmented Control 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 Segmented Control 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 Segmented Control 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 Segmented Controls in .NET MAUI

The Syncfusion .NET MAUI Segmented Control (SfSegmentedControl) provides a linear set of segments containing text, icons, or both, allowing users to select from mutually exclusive options. Each segment functions as a discrete button, creating an intuitive way to switch between views, filter content, or select time periods.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

Implement view switchers: Toggle between Day/Week/Month/Year views, list/grid layouts, or different data visualizations
Create filter buttons: Allow users to filter content by category, type, or time period
Build tab-like navigation: Provide segment-based navigation without traditional tabs
Design selection interfaces: Enable users to choose from 2-7 mutually exclusive options
Customize segment appearance: Style borders, backgrounds, colors, corner radius, or selection indicators
Configure selection behavior: Set up programmatic selection, selection modes, or custom indicators
Handle segment events: Respond to selection changes or segment taps
Support RTL layouts: Implement right-to-left language support
Apply special effects: Add liquid glass effects or custom animations

Common scenarios: Calendar view toggles, chart period selectors, sorting options, display mode switches, category filters, and settings toggles.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Syncfusion Maui Segmented Control AI skill do?

Why use Syncfusion Maui Segmented Control on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Syncfusion Maui Segmented Control 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 Segmented Control 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-segmented-control. 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 Segmented Control?

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 Segmented Control?

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

Is the Syncfusion Maui Segmented Control 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.
