## What it does

This plugin gives Claude Code a set of Qt development skills. Review workflows inspect Qt C++ ownership, threading, correctness, error paths, and performance; QML workflows examine bindings, layouts, loaders, delegates, and states. Other skills cover QML authoring, Qt 6 projects with CMake, Markdown reference docs, and Qt Quick tests.

The bundle also includes workflows around `qmlprofiler`, `.qtd` traces, Figma tokens, and generated QML controls. Its MCP tools provide Qt API documentation lookup and a local live preview for QML changes without rebuilding. The profiler does not handle Qt Quick 3D, while the test-generation skill leaves CMake and runner setup to you.

Commercial use of the skills and MCP tools requires agreement to the Qt AI Services Terms & Conditions. The listed plugin platform is Claude Code.
