Install the FrameworX Claude Skill to give Claude (and other AI agents) product awareness and MCP setup guidance.
AI Integration | How-to Guide

What is the Claude Skill?

The FrameworX Claude Skill is a lightweight file (SKILL.md) that teaches Claude what FrameworX is, what it can do, and how to connect to the MCP Designer tools. It 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

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

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:

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 ask:

• "What is FrameworX?" — Claude should answer from the skill, not from a web search
• "How do I set up MCP tools?" — Claude should provide step-by-step instructions
• "What protocols does FrameworX support?" — Claude should mention 100+ connectors with specific examples

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