AI Skills

AI Skills are Claude Code skill files that provide AI-assistant reference guides for Reagraph. Skills contain component APIs, usage patterns, theming details, and code examples derived from source code and stories.

When installed, Claude Code automatically loads the relevant skill files when it encounters Reagraph components in your code, giving it deep knowledge of the component APIs, props, and usage patterns.

Available Components

Category	Components
Graph	GraphCanvas, Sphere, SphereWithIcon, SphereWithSvg, Svg, Badge, Edge, Arrow, Label, Cluster
Layout	forceDirected2d/3d, circular, concentric, tree, radial, hierarchical, nooverlap, forceatlas2, custom
Interaction	useSelection, Lasso, CameraControls, useCenterGraph, RadialMenu, useCollapse
Styling	lightTheme, darkTheme, SizingType (pagerank, centrality, attribute)

Installation

Choose one of the following methods to make skills available in your project.

Option 1: Project-level (recommended for teams)

Copy or symlink the Reagraph skills into your project’s .claude/skills/ folder:


# From your project root
mkdir -p .claude/skills
 
# Symlink the reagraph skill tree
ln -s /path/to/reaviz/skills/reagraph .claude/skills/reagraph

Skills placed in .claude/skills/ are committed to version control and shared with all team members.

Option 2: User-level (personal, all projects)

Copy or symlink skills into ~/.claude/skills/ to make them available across all your projects:


mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
 
# Symlink the library
ln -s /path/to/reaviz/skills/reagraph ~/.claude/skills/reagraph

User-level skills are not shared with other team members.

Option 3: `--add-dir` flag (per-session)

Point Claude Code to the skills repository at launch. Skills inside .claude/skills/ of added directories are discovered automatically:


claude --add-dir /path/to/reaviz/skills

This grants file access for the current session only.

Verifying Installation

Once installed, Claude Code will automatically load the relevant skill files when it encounters Reagraph components in your code. You can verify by asking Claude Code about a specific component:


> How do I use the reagraph GraphCanvas component?

Claude Code should respond with API details, props, and examples sourced from the skill files.
