## What it does

The skill guides implementation of Syncfusion’s `ChatUIComponent` from `@syncfusion/ej2-react-interactive-chat`. It covers the initial setup, message insertion and updates, automatic scrolling, on-demand history loading, message states, and toolbar actions.

Its guidance includes user models, avatars, presence states, message and empty-chat templates, typing indicators, suggestions, and footer customization. It also covers headers, timestamps, date separators, mentions, localization, and right-to-left layouts. File attachments require an upload endpoint and can use file type and size restrictions.

The skill targets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. A basic implementation uses `ChatUIComponent`, `MessagesDirective`, and `MessageDirective`.
