Pull request overview
Updates the root README to reposition Ignite UI for Angular around AI-assisted development, documenting the MCP servers, AI Skills, and providing a reorganized/condensed overview of installation, development, and component inventory.
Changes:
- Adds a new “AI-Native Developer Tooling” section detailing the documentation MCP and theming MCP servers, including configuration examples and tool inventories.
- Reorganizes the README structure (installation, browser support, development setup, demos, docs, contributing, support) and replaces large tables with a condensed component inventory inside a
<details>block. - Adds an “For AI assistants and agents” section describing how to consume the repo with MCP + Skills.
| - **Documentation MCP**: `ig mcp` — 6 tools for documentation search, API lookup, and scaffolding (see [MCP tool inventory](#mcp-tool-inventory) above) | ||
| - **Theming MCP**: `npx igniteui-theming/mcp` — tools for palette generation, typography, elevations, and component theming (see [Theming MCP tool inventory](#theming-mcp-tool-inventory) above) | ||
| - **AI Skills**: structured knowledge files in [`skills/`](skills/) — load for context-aware Angular code generation | ||
| - **Structured docs index**: [`llms.txt`](llms.txt) — machine-readable index of all Ignite UI documentation (when available) |

The README links to llms.txt, but there is no llms.txt file in the repository root. This is a broken link as-is; either add the file in this PR or adjust the text/link to avoid pointing to a non-existent path.

The statement "Skills are developer-owned npm packages" appears inaccurate for this repo: the skills/ entries here are version-controlled markdown files (e.g., skills/<name>/SKILL.md + references/) and not npm packages. This wording may confuse users about how Skills are distributed/consumed—consider rephrasing to describe them as repository files.

This is a UI component library repo. It's not an MCP server repo, it's not a theming repo, or a theming MCP server repo. This README change is as if the repo has changed, and it hasn't. It's primary purpose is to develop Ignite UI for Angular components in it, not to tell people what servers are shipped from other repos.
Closes #
