@ant-design/cli

Ant Design on your command line.
Query component knowledge, analyze project usage, and guide migrations — fully offline.

English · 中文 · Changelog

🤔 Why

Code agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) write better antd code when they have instant access to the right API data. This CLI gives them exactly that — every prop, token, demo, and changelog entry for antd v4 / v5 / v6, bundled locally, queryable in milliseconds.

npx skills add ant-design/ant-design-cli    # install as an agent skill

✨ Highlights

• 📦 Fully offline — All metadata ships with the package. No network calls, no latency, no API keys.
• 🎯 Version-accurate — 55+ per-minor snapshots across v4/v5/v6. Query the exact API surface of antd@5.3.0, not just “latest v5”.
• 🤖 Agent-optimized — --format json on every command. Structured errors with codes and suggestions. Clean stdout/stderr separation.
• 🌍 Bilingual — Every component name, description, and doc has both English and Chinese. Switch with --lang zh.
• 🔮 Smart matching — Typo Buttn? The CLI suggests Button using Levenshtein distance, with first-letter preference.
• 🧩 15 commands — From prop lookup to project-wide lint, from design token queries to cross-version API diffing.
• 🔌 MCP server — antd mcp starts a stdio server for native IDE integration (Claude Desktop, Cursor).

📦 Install

npm install -g @ant-design/cli

pnpm add -g @ant-design/cli
bun add -g @ant-design/cli

🤖 Agent Integration

The CLI ships with a skill file that teaches code agents when and how to use each command:

npx skills add ant-design/ant-design-cli

Or simply tell your code agent:

Install @ant-design/cli and the antd skill from ant-design/ant-design-cli

The agent will handle npm install, npx skills add, and start using the CLI automatically.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and any agent supporting the skills protocol.

MCP Server

For IDEs that support Model Context Protocol, the CLI can run as an MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "antd": {
      "command": "antd",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

To pin a specific antd version, add "--version", "5.20.0" to the args array.

This exposes 7 tools (antd_list, antd_info, antd_doc, antd_demo, antd_token, antd_semantic, antd_changelog) and 2 prompts (antd-expert, antd-page-generator) for native IDE integration.

antd lint [target]

Four rule categories: deprecated, a11y, performance, best-practice. Deprecation rules are derived from metadata at runtime, so they’re always version-accurate.

antd lint ./src
antd lint ./src --only deprecated
antd lint ./src --only a11y
antd lint ./src --only deprecated --format json --antd-alias @shared-components

Use --antd-alias <source> to treat additional package names as aliases of antd. Repeat the flag for multiple wrapper packages; antd remains enabled by default.

antd migrate <from> <to>

v4→v5 covers 25+ migration steps; v5→v6 covers 30+. Each step includes component name, breaking flag, search pattern, and before/after code.

antd migrate 4 5                    # full checklist
antd migrate 4 5 --component Select # component-specific
antd migrate 4 5 --apply ./src      # generate agent migration prompt

Migration Guide: v4 → v5

  Select:
    🔧 [BREAKING] Prop `dropdownClassName` renamed to `popupClassName`
    🔧 [BREAKING] Prop `dropdownMatchSelectWidth` renamed to `popupMatchSelectWidth`
