npx skills add ant-design/ant-design-cli --skill antd
Use when the user's task involves Ant Design (antd) — writing antd components, debugging antd issues, querying antd APIs/props/tokens/demos, migrating between antd versions, or analyzing antd usage in a project. Triggers on antd-related code, imports from 'antd', or explicit antd questions.
npx skills add ant-design/ant-design-cli --skill antd
You have access to @ant-design/cli — a local CLI tool with bundled antd metadata for v4/v5/v6 (plus migration guides for v3 → v4, v4 → v5, v5 → v6). Use it to query component knowledge, analyze projects, and guide migrations. All data is offline, no network needed.
Before first use, check if the CLI is installed. If not, install it automatically:
After running any command, if the output contains an "Update available" notice, run antd upgrade to update before continuing.
Always use --format json for structured output you can parse programmatically.
Before writing any antd component code, look up its API first — don't rely on memory.
Workflow: antd info → understand props → antd demo → grab a working example → write code.
When you need comprehensive component docs (not just props):
When code isn't working as expected or the user reports an antd bug:
Workflow: antd env → capture full environment → antd doctor → check configuration → antd info --version X → verify API against the user's exact version → antd lint → find deprecated or incorrect usage.
When the user wants to upgrade antd (e.g., v3 → v4 or v4 → v5):
Workflow: antd migrate → get full checklist → antd changelog <v1> <v2> → understand breaking changes → apply fixes → antd lint → verify no deprecated usage remains.
When the user wants to understand how antd is used in their project:
When the user asks about what changed in a version:
When the user is choosing which component to use:
When you need to understand the project's antd setup, or prepare info for a bug report:
Collects: OS, Node, package managers (npm/pnpm/yarn/bun/utoo), npm registry, browsers, core deps (antd/react/dayjs), all @ant-design/* and rc-* packages, and build tools (umi/vite/webpack/typescript/etc.).
When the user asks you to report an antd bug:
When the user asks you to report a CLI bug, or explicitly requests help filing one:
Show the report to the user and confirm before submitting:
Opt-out: If the environment variable ANTD_NO_AUTO_REPORT=1 is set, skip all bug-reporting suggestions entirely — do not suggest antd bug or antd bug-cli unless the user directly asks.
When the user wants to update @ant-design/cli to the latest version, or when an "Update available" notice appears:
The command detects which package manager installed the CLI (npm, yarn, pnpm, bun, cnpm, utoo) and runs the appropriate upgrade command. If detection fails, it suggests the manual command.
If working in an IDE that supports MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), the CLI can also run as an MCP server, exposing all knowledge-query tools directly:
This provides 8 tools (antd_list, antd_info, antd_doc, antd_demo, antd_token, antd_design_md, antd_semantic, antd_changelog) and 2 prompts (antd-expert, antd-page-generator) via MCP protocol.
| Flag | Purpose |

--version <v> | Target a specific antd version (e.g. 5.20.0) |
--lang zh | Chinese output (default: en) |
--detail | Include extra fields (description, since, deprecated, FAQ) |
-V, --cli-version | Print CLI version and exit |
antd info first.list/info/doc/demo/token/semantic/changelog) support antd v4+. If the project uses antd 4.x/5.x/6.x, pass --version 4.24.0 / 5.24.0 / 6.x.
