Angular Tooling

Priority: P2 (MEDIUM)

CLI Essentials

Command: ng generate component (or ng g c)
Flags: --dry-run previews before write. --change-detection=OnPush sets CD at generation. skip-tests skips spec.
Workflow: Always ng generate — never create files manually.

ng new my-app --style=scss --routing  # Create project
ng g c features/user-profile          # Generate component
ng g s services/auth                  # Generate service (providedIn: root)
ng g guard guards/auth                # Generate functional guard
ng g interceptor interceptors/auth    # Generate functional interceptor
ng g pipe pipes/truncate              # Generate standalone pipe

Code Generation Flags

--dry-run — Preview output without writing files. Always use --dry-run first for unfamiliar generators.
skip-tests — Skips spec file generation.
--flat — Skips subfolder creation.
--change-detection=OnPush — Sets CD strategy on generation.
--style=scss — Sets stylesheet format.

Build Configuration

Dev: ng serve --open
Prod: ng build -c production. Output goes to dist/my-app/browser/.
SSR: ng add @angular/ssr then ng build (adds server/ output).
Coverage: ng test --code-coverage --watch=false. Coverage output goes to coverage/ directory.

Bundle Analysis

ng build -c production --stats-json
npx esbuild-visualizer --metadata dist/my-app/browser/stats.json --open

Note: Analyze bundle before editing angular.json budgets — don't lower without understanding what's large.

Update Angular

Check: ng update — lists available updates.
Apply: ng update @angular/core @angular/cli — runs official codemods.
Rule: Never use --force; fix peer dependency conflicts instead.

Anti-Patterns

No manual file creation: Use ng generate for consistency and proper registration.
No ng update --force: Fix peer dependency conflicts instead of skipping.
No hand-editing angular.json budgets: Analyze bundles first — lower budgets break CI.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take hoangnguyen0403/angular-tooling from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
