## What it does

The skill covers `TabComponent` from `@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations`: splitting content into tabs, placing headers, enabling drag-and-drop reordering, and picking how tab content renders. Reference files walk through package setup, header style classes, overflow modes, accessibility and localization.

Content rendering gets its own section — on-demand, dynamic, or initial. That choice decides whether a tab keeps its state when the user switches away, so for a form with typed-in values it is worth checking before anything gets lost.

The examples assume a React project that already has Syncfusion wired up: imports from `@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations` plus the `tailwind3` theme styles. Without the package installed, that is where you start.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add syncfusion/react-ui-components-skills --skill syncfusion-react-tabs -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/syncfusion-react-tabs/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/syncfusion-react-tabs/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add syncfusion/react-ui-components-skills --skill syncfusion-react-tabs -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add syncfusion/react-ui-components-skills --skill syncfusion-react-tabs -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/syncfusion-react-tabs/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/syncfusion/react-ui-components-skills --path skills/syncfusion-react-tabs
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/syncfusion-react-tabs/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add syncfusion/react-ui-components-skills --skill syncfusion-react-tabs -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/syncfusion/react-ui-components-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/syncfusion-react-tabs/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a tabbed interface with switchable sections
- position tab headers on any side of the content
- let users reorder tabs by dragging them
- pick a rendering mode that preserves form state
- add localization and RTL support to tabs

## Example prompts
- Build Syncfusion React tabs with Home, Profile and Settings headers
- Enable drag-and-drop reordering but block it on the last tab
- Localize the tab headers and turn on RTL
