+The Ignite UI CLI MCP server enables AI assistants to generate production-ready theming code. It must be configured in your editor before the theming tools become available.


The intro sentence describes the Ignite UI CLI MCP server as enabling “theming code” and refers to “theming tools”, but this file is for the igniteui-cli server (component/docs tooling). Please reword this to reflect what igniteui-cli actually provides (e.g., component listing + docs/API reference generation) and avoid implying it’s the theming MCP server.

Suggested change

The Ignite UI CLI MCP server enables AI assistants to list available Ignite UI components and access component documentation and API reference tooling. It must be configured in your editor before those tools become available.

 # Ignite UI for Angular — UI Components

+## Prerequisites


This new prerequisite section duplicates the existing "## Prerequisites" section later in the file, which makes the document structure confusing and breaks the pattern used in other skills. Consider renaming this new section to something like "## Tooling prerequisites" / "## MCP prerequisites" or merging it into the existing prerequisites block.

+## Setting Up the Theming MCP Server


This MCP setup instruction block repeatedly references "theming tools" / "theming related work" and the following header says "Setting Up the Theming MCP Server", but this skill is the UI components skill and the prerequisite tool here is igniteui-cli. Please update the wording to refer to the Ignite UI CLI MCP server/tools to avoid sending agents/users to the wrong server.
