Install the FrameworX Claude Skill to give Claude (and other AI agents) product awareness and MCP setup guidanceGive Claude deep product knowledge of FrameworX — architecture, syntax, protocols, modules, and documentation links — so it can answer questions accurately without web searching.
AI Integration | How-to Guide

...

The FrameworX Claude Skill is a lightweight knowledge file (SKILL.md) that teaches Claude what FrameworX is, what it can do, and how to connect to the MCP Designer tools. It gives Claude comprehensive understanding of the FrameworX platform. It is the Claude equivalent of Ask FrameworX Docs on ChatGPT.

When installed, Claude can answer FrameworX questions directly from the skill — no web search, no guessing. It covers:

• Product architecture — UNS, Four Pillars, server/client runtime, built-in namespaces
• Syntax reference — tag paths, slash vs dot rules, @ prefix, UserType patterns, the common mistakes that trip up every new user
• All module configuration — table types, key fields, and relationships for every module (Devices, Alarms, Historian, Displays, Datasets, Scripts, Reports, Security)
• 100+ protocol connectors — organized by vendor, standard, and industry with configuration patterns
• Common questions — verified answers to the questions users ask most
• Industry use cases — 38 documented deployments across manufacturing, oil & gas, water, power, food & bev, transportation
• 200+ documentation links — verified URLs to docs.tatsoft.com so Claude links to the right page every time

The skill follows the Agent Skills open standard.

The skill has two modes:

• MCP tools connected — the skill detects the tools and steps aside, letting MCP deliver full operational context
• MCP tools not connected — the skill answers general FrameworX questions and walks the user through MCP setup

...

The same file works with Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and other compatible AI agents.

Skill vs MCP tools — they are independent. The skill provides product knowledge for conversations. The provides hands-on solution building (creating tags, displays, devices inside the Designer). You can use either or both. but MCP is a superset, not need to install if are already using the MCP

Download

Download the skill file, ready to install:

frameworx-skill.zip

The zip contains a frameworx/ folder with the SKILL.md file inside.

The skill is also available on GitHub: github.com/tatsoft/frameworx-claude-skill

...

Install on Claude.ai or Claude Desktop App

...

1. Create the skills directory if it doesn't exist:

   Code Blockmkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/frameworx

   
   

2. Copy the SKILL.md file into that directory:

   Code Blockcp SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/frameworx/SKILL.md

   
   

3. Claude Code discovers skills automatically — no restart needed

...

Consult your agent's documentation for the exact skills directory path.

Connecting the MCP Designer Tools

The skill is most powerful when combined with the MCP Designer tools, which ship with FrameworX 10.13+. When the MCP tools are connected, Claude can directly create tags, displays, devices, and all solution objects.

→ See MCP For Designer In Action for examples

Verify It Works

After installing, start a new Claude conversation and asktry these questions:

• "What is FrameworX?" — Claude should answer from the skill with specific details about UNS, not from a Four Pillars, and 100+ connectors, not a vague web search result
• "How do I set up MCP toolsconnect to a Siemens S7-1500?" — Claude should provide step-by-step instructionsrecommend the S7Plus connector and explain the Channel → Node → Point pipeline
• "What's the difference between slash and dot in tag paths"What protocols does FrameworX support?" — Claude should mention 100+ connectors with specific examplesexplain the #1 syntax mistake with correct and wrong examples
• "Which table do I use to create displays?" — Claude should answer DisplaysList and warn that DisplaysDraw is NOT a writable table

If Claude is web-searching for basic FrameworX information, the skill may not be enabled. Check Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

...

Want Hands-On Solution Building?

The skill gives Claude product knowledge. If you want Claude to build inside FrameworX — creating tags, displays, devices, and alarms directly in the Designer — connect the MCP Designer tools.

→ See for setup instructions
→ See for examples of what MCP can do

The skill and MCP tools work independently. Use the skill alone for knowledge and documentation guidance. Add MCP when you are ready to build.
