Verified against the live npm registry and Angular's own source: the skill correctly steers agents off the deprecated mat.define-light-theme() M2 API and onto mat.theme(), but its own primary setup path (`provideAnimationsAsync()`) carries an `@deprecated 20.2 ... Intent to remove in v23` tag in Angular's source that the skill never mentions, despite explicitly targeting v22 as current; it also mis-dates the @angular/material@22.0.2 release (claims 2026-06-03, npm shows that date belongs to 21.2.14, and 22.0.2 actually shipped 2026-06-17).

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 3/5

What Angular Material Developer does

Generates Angular Material v19-v22 code and answers theming/component/CDK/forms/accessibility questions for Angular projects, detecting whether a project is on the modern mat.theme() M3 engine or the legacy mat.define-light-theme() M2 API before answering. Triggers on any Angular Material, mat-*, or M3/Material-3 mention, or when package.json contains @angular/material. All 12 referenced reference files live inside the skill folder itself; a companion 'angular-developer' skill is recommended but not required.
