Use when the user's task involves Ant Design (antd) โ writing antd components,
debugging antd issues, querying antd APIs/props/tokens/demos, migrating between
antd versions, or analyzing antd usage in a project. Triggers on antd-related
code, imports from 'antd', or explicit antd questions.

# Ant Design CLI
You have access to `@ant-design/cli` โ a local CLI tool with bundled antd metadata for v3/v4/v5/v6. Use it to query component knowledge, analyze projects, and guide migrations. All data is offline, no network needed.
## Setup
The CLI is installed as a dev dependency. Use `npx antd` to run it.
**Always use `--format json` for structured output you can parse programmatically.**
## Scenarios
### 1. Writing antd component code
Before writing any antd component code, look up its API first โ don't rely on memory.
```bash
# Check what props are available
npx antd info Button --format json
# Get a working demo as starting point
npx antd demo Button basic --format json
# Check semantic classNames/styles for custom styling
npx antd semantic Button --format json
# Check component-level design tokens for theming
npx antd token Button --format json
```
**Workflow:** `antd info` โ understand props โ `antd demo` โ grab a working example โ write code.
### 2. Looking up full documentation
When you need comprehensive component docs (not just props):
```bash
npx antd doc Table --format json # full markdown docs for Table
npx antd doc Table --lang zh # Chinese docs
```
### 3. Debugging antd issues
When code isn't working as expected or the user reports an antd bug:
```bash
# Collect full environment snapshot (system, deps, browsers, build tools)
npx antd env --format json
# Check if the prop exists for the user's antd version
npx antd info Select --version 5.12.0 --format json
# Check if the prop is deprecated
npx antd lint ./src/components/MyForm.tsx --format json
# Diagnose project-level configuration issues
npx antd doctor --format json
```
**Workflow:** `antd env` โ capture full environment โ `antd doctor` โ check configuration โ `antd info --version X` โ verify API against the user's exact version โ `antd lint` โ find deprecated or incorrect usage.
### 4. Migrating between versions
When the user wants to upgrade antd (e.g., v3 โ v4 or v4 โ v5):
```bash
# Get full migration checklist
npx antd migrate 3 4 --format json # v3 โ v4
npx antd migrate 4 5 --format json # v4 โ v5
# Check migration for a specific component
npx antd migrate 4 5 --component Select --format json
# See what changed between two versions
npx antd changelog 4.24.0 5.0.0 --format json
# See changes for a specific component
npx antd changelog 4.24.0 5.0.0 Select --format json
```
**Workflow:** `antd migrate` โ get full checklist โ `antd changelog <v1> <v2>` โ understand breaking changes โ apply fixes โ `antd lint` โ verify no deprecated usage remains.
### 5. Analyzing project antd usage
When the user wants to understand how antd is used in their project:
```bash
# Scan component usage statistics
npx antd usage ./src --format json
# Filter to a specific component
npx antd usage ./src --filter Form --format json
# Lint for best practice violations
npx antd lint ./src --format json
# Check only specific rule categories
npx antd lint ./src --only deprecated --format json
npx antd lint ./src --only a11y --format json
npx antd lint ./src --only performance --format json
```
### 6. Checking changelogs and version history
When the user asks about what changed in a version:
```bash
# Specific version changelog
npx antd changelog 5.22.0 --format json
# Version range (both ends inclusive)
npx antd changelog 5.21.0..5.24.0 --format json
```
### 7. Exploring available components
When the user is choosing which component to use:
```bash
# List all components with categories
npx antd list --format json
# List components for a specific antd version
npx antd list --version 5.0.0 --format json
```
### 8. Collecting environment info
When you need to understand the project's antd setup, or prepare info for a bug report:
```bash
# Full environment snapshot (text โ paste into GitHub Issues)
npx antd env
# Structured JSON for programmatic use
npx antd env --format json
# Scan a specific project directory
npx antd env ./my-project --format json
```
### 9. Reporting antd bugs
When the user asks you to report an antd bug:
```bash
# Step 0: Collect environment info for reference (optional)
npx antd env --format json
# Step 1: Preview for user review
npx antd bug --title "DatePicker crashes when selecting date" \
--reproduction "https://codesandbox.io/s/xxx" \
--steps "1. Open DatePicker 2. Click a date" \
--expected "Date is selected" \
--actual "Component crashes with error" \
--format json
# Step 2: Show to user, ask for confirmation
# Step 3: Submit after user confirms
npx antd bug --title "DatePicker crashes when selecting date" \
--reproduction "https://codesandbox.io/s/xxx" \
--steps "1. Open DatePicker 2. Click a date" \
--expected "Date is selected" \
--actual "Component crashes with error" \
--submit
```
### 10. Reporting CLI issues
When the user asks to report a CLI bug:
```bash
npx antd bug-cli --title "antd info Button returns wrong props" \
--description "When querying Button props for version 5.12.0, the output includes props that don't exist" \
--steps "1. Run: npx antd info Button --version 5.12.0 --format json" \
--expected "Props matching antd 5.12.0 Button API" \
--actual "Props include 'classNames' which was added in 5.16.0" \
--format json
```
Show the report to the user and confirm before submitting with `--submit`.
**Opt-out:** If the environment variable `ANTD_NO_AUTO_REPORT=1` is set, skip all bug-reporting suggestions entirely.
### 11. Using as MCP server
If working in an IDE that supports MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), the CLI can also run as an MCP server:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"antd": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["antd", "mcp"]
}
}
}
```
This provides 7 tools (`antd_list`, `antd_info`, `antd_doc`, `antd_demo`, `antd_token`, `antd_semantic`, `antd_changelog`) and 2 prompts (`antd-expert`, `antd-page-generator`) via MCP protocol.
## Global Flags
| Flag | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `--format json` | Structured output โ always use this |
| `--version <v>` | Target a specific antd version (e.g. `5.20.0`) |
| `--lang zh` | Chinese output (default: `en`) |
| `--detail` | Include extra fields (description, since, deprecated, FAQ) |
## Key Rules
1. **Always query before writing** โ Don't guess antd APIs from memory. Run `antd info` first.
2. **Match the user's version** โ This project uses antd v6. The CLI auto-detects from `node_modules` if no flag is given.
3. **Use `--format json`** โ Every command supports it. Parse the JSON output rather than regex-matching text output.
4. **Check before suggesting migration** โ Run `antd changelog <v1> <v2>` and `antd migrate` before advising on version upgrades.
5. **Lint after changes** โ After writing or modifying antd code, run `antd lint` on the changed files to catch deprecated or problematic usage.
6. **Report antd bugs** โ When the user asks to report an antd bug, use `antd bug`. Always preview first, get user confirmation, then submit.
7. **Report CLI issues** โ When the user asks about a CLI problem, use `antd bug-cli` to help them file a report. Always preview first, get user confirmation, then submit.
