Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Describe a customer dashboard in plain English and get generated XAML, code-behind, and ViewModel files ready to drop into your .NET MAUI project.

USE CASE 2

Use the skill inside Claude Code or Copilot to scaffold a multi-screen MAUI app with navigation, data grids, and charts without writing XAML by hand.

USE CASE 3

Generate MAUI UI components that already meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards so you don't have to audit them manually.

USE CASE 4

Quickly add Syncfusion controls like a searchable data grid or navigation drawer to an existing .NET 9 MAUI project through a guided eight-step process.

Requires an active .NET MAUI project targeting .NET 9+, Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code, and a Syncfusion license (free community license available).

In plain English

Syncfusion MAUI UI Builder is an AI agent skill that takes a plain-language description of a user interface and generates ready-to-use code for .NET MAUI apps. .NET MAUI is Microsoft's framework for building apps that run on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS from a single codebase. This skill acts as a bridge between describing what you want and getting working code for it. You install it into an AI coding assistant such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor using a package manager called APM. Once installed, you describe your UI in natural language, for example asking for a customer dashboard with a navigation drawer, metric cards, and a searchable data grid, and the skill works through an eight-stage process to produce the result. Early stages analyze your description and detect your project setup. A few stages pause to ask you to confirm choices, such as which UI controls to use and what color theme to apply. Later stages generate the code files, check accessibility and security rules, install any missing library packages, and drop the files into your project. The code it generates uses Syncfusion's collection of MAUI controls, which are pre-built interface components like grids, charts, and navigation drawers maintained by Syncfusion as a commercial product (with a free community license available). Generated files follow the MVVM pattern, a standard way of organizing code in .NET apps that separates the interface from the underlying data and logic. The output also aims to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidelines, which are an international standard for making software usable by people with disabilities. Each generated component produces three types of files: a XAML view that defines the visual layout, a code-behind file for event handling, and a ViewModel file that holds the data and logic. A shared color resource file is created or updated to hold design tokens for theming. The skill requires an active .NET MAUI project targeting .NET 9 or later, Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code, and a Syncfusion license. Support is provided through Syncfusion's ticketing system and community forum.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I want to generate a customer dashboard in my .NET MAUI app using the Syncfusion MAUI UI Builder skill. How do I install the skill with APM and what description should I give it to get a navigation drawer, metric cards, and a searchable grid?
Prompt 2
Walk me through the eight stages of the Syncfusion MAUI UI Builder, what does it ask me to confirm and what files does it create at the end?
Prompt 3
How do I apply a custom color theme to the UI generated by Syncfusion MAUI UI Builder? Where is the shared color resource file and how do I edit the design tokens?
Prompt 4
I already have a .NET 9 MAUI project. How do I add the Syncfusion MAUI UI Builder skill to Claude Code and use it to generate a new screen without breaking my existing code?
Prompt 5
What MVVM files does Syncfusion MAUI UI Builder generate for each component, and how do I wire the ViewModel to the XAML view in a .NET MAUI project?
