Use when the user asks about Liferay JSP taglibs or FreeMarker (FTL) macros — which tag library to use, how to declare/import one, what tags/macros are available, the difference between using a taglib in a JSP vs. an FTL display template, or how to verify a tag/macro actually exists before using it. Also covers building a custom JSP/FTL taglib from scratch (registration for JSP vs. FTL, sharing logic across separate Portlet Display Template script-files, mounting a React component from a tag, resolving page-level state from RenderRequest instead of FTL parameters, and reflection for calling methods on FTL loop variables whose concrete type is in a non-exported internal package). Trigger for questions like "what taglib has X", "how do I use aui: / liferay-ui: / clay: in this file", "is there an FTL equivalent of ", "can I use here", "how do I share logic between display template files", "how do I make a tag that renders a React component", or any work inside a .jsp/.jspf/.ftl file under this workspace's modules or client extensions.

Quick start
Copy the install prompt. Use the green button above this README.
Send it to your agent. Paste it into your coding agent’s chat and send.
Review the setup. Your agent checks the skill’s instructions, requirements, and installation scope.
Use this skill whenever the user asks about Liferay JSP taglibs or FreeMarker (FTL) macros — which tag library to use, how to declare/import one, what tags/macros are available, the difference between using a taglib in a JSP vs. an FTL display template, or how to verify a tag/macro actually exists before using it.

Trigger for questions like "what taglib has X", "how do I use aui: / liferay-ui: / clay: in this file", "is there an FTL equivalent of <tag>", "can I use <@liferay_xxx.yyy> here", "how do I share logic between display template files", "how do I make a tag that renders a React component", or any work inside a `.jsp`/`.jspf`/`.ftl` file under this workspace's modules or client extensions.
