# Avalonia Zafiro Development This skill defines the mandatory conventions and behavioral rules for developing cross-platform applications with Avalonia UI and the Zafiro toolkit. These rules prioritize maintainability, correctness, and a functional-reactive approach. ## Core Pillars 1. **Functional-Reactive MVVM**: Pure MVVM logic using DynamicData and ReactiveUI. 2. **Safety & Predictability**: Explicit error handling with `Result` types and avoidance of exceptions for flow control. 3. **Cross-Platform Excellence**: Strictly Avalonia-independent ViewModels and composition-over-inheritance. 4. **Zafiro First**: Leverage existing Zafiro abstractions and helpers to avoid redundancy. ## Guides - [Core Technical Skills & Architecture](core-technical-skills.md): Fundamental skills and architectural principles. - [Naming & Coding Standards](naming-standards.md): Rules for naming, fields, and error handling. - [Avalonia, Zafiro & Reactive Rules](avalonia-reactive-rules.md): Specific guidelines for UI, Zafiro integration, and DynamicData pipelines. - [Zafiro Shortcuts](zafiro-shortcuts.md): Concise mappings for common Rx/Zafiro operations. - [Common Patterns](patterns.md): Advanced patter

Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
