Give 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

What is the Claude Skill?

The FrameworX Claude Skill is a knowledge file (SKILL.md) that 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 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

Install on Claude.ai or Claude Desktop App

Requires a Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan with code execution enabled.

  1. Download frameworx-skill.zip from the link above
  2. Open Claude → Settings → Capabilities
  3. Scroll to the Skills section
  4. Click Upload skill and select the zip file
  5. The skill appears in your skills list — make sure it is toggled on

Once enabled, Claude will automatically activate the skill whenever you mention FrameworX, SCADA, HMI, or related topics. No need to invoke it manually.

Install on Claude Code

For developers using Claude Code in the terminal:

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

    mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/frameworx

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

    cp SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/frameworx/SKILL.md
  3. Claude Code discovers skills automatically — no restart needed

Works with Other AI Agents

The skill follows the Agent Skills open standard. The same SKILL.md file works with any compatible agent:

Agent

Skill Location

GitHub Copilot

.github/skills/frameworx/SKILL.md

Cursor

.cursor/skills/frameworx/SKILL.md

OpenAI Codex CLI

.codex/skills/frameworx/SKILL.md

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

Verify It Works

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

  • "What is FrameworX?" — Claude should answer from the skill with specific details about UNS, Four Pillars, and 100+ connectors, not a vague web search result
  • "How do I connect to a Siemens S7-1500?" — Claude should recommend the S7Plus connector and explain the Channel → Node → Point pipeline
  • "What's the difference between slash and dot in tag paths?" — Claude should explain 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.
