1---2name: angular-material3description: Angular Material UI component library based on Material Design 34---56> The skill is based on Angular Material v21.x (v21.2.0-next.2), generated at 2026-01-31.78Angular Material is the official UI component library for Angular, implementing Material Design 3 (M3). It provides a comprehensive set of pre-built, accessible components along with the Component Dev Kit (CDK) for building custom components.910## When to Apply1112Use this skill when:1314- Using **Angular Material components** (buttons, forms, dialogs, tables, etc.)15- **Theming** with Material Design 3 (M3) color palettes, typography, density16- Working with **mat-form-field**, inputs, select, autocomplete, or datepicker17- Implementing **data tables** with sorting, pagination, and filtering18- Creating **dialogs**, **bottom sheets**, **snackbars**, or **tooltips**19- Building **navigation** with sidenav, menus, tabs, or steppers20- Using **CDK** primitives (overlay, portal, drag-drop, virtual scrolling)21- Implementing **accessible components** with CDK a11y utilities22- Creating **custom form field controls** that integrate with mat-form-field23- Using **component test harnesses** for reliable testing24- Scaffolding components with **Angular Material schematics**2526Do NOT use this skill when:2728- Using a different UI library (PrimeNG, ngx-bootstrap, etc.)29- Building completely custom UI without Material Design30- Working with Angular Aria headless primitives (use the angular-aria skill instead)3132## Core References3334| Topic | Description | Reference |35|-------|-------------|-----------|36| Theming | M3 theming system with color
