angular-directives — Claude Code skill: deprecated, skip it
An Angular directives skill that is no longer maintained. The Angular team now ships official skills instead.
npx skills add analogjs/angular-skills --skill angular-directives -a claude-codeWhat angular-directives does
The angular-directives skill in the analogjs/angular-skills repo is marked deprecated. Its guidance was pulled rather than left in place to rot, so the old contents survive only in the repository's git history.
It used to cover writing custom directives for Angular v20+: attribute directives that change how an element looks or behaves, structural ones for portals and overlays, and host directives for composition. For control flow it pointed at the native @if, @for and @switch blocks instead of hand-rolled structural directives.
