SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Building consistent, accessible React UIs from scratch is slow and error-prone. This Skill provides ready-to-use shadcn/ui component patterns for Next.js so you can assemble forms, dialogs, data tables, sidebars, and themed layouts without reinventing each component. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Component Patterns: Copy-paste implementations for buttons, cards, dialogs, alert dialogs, toasts (Sonner), and sidebar navigation built on Radix UI and Tailwind CSS. - Forms & Validation: Complete react-hook-form + Zod patterns including Select, Textarea, and error messaging. - Data Tables & Theming: TanStack Table integration with sorting and pagination, plus dark mode via next-themes and a full Industrial-Kinetic Futurism theme with CSS variables and Tailwind config. - Use Case: You are building a task management dashboard in Next.js. Use this Skill to scaffold a sidebar layout, a sortable task table with status badges, a validated task creation form in a dialog, and a dark/light theme toggle. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a Next.js task form with shadcn/ui components, react-hook-form validation, and dark mode support.

Frequently Asked Questions about styling-with-shadcn

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install shadcn/ui components in a Next.js project?▼

Run npx shadcn@latest init to initialize shadcn/ui, then add individual components with npx shadcn@latest add followed by component names like button, form, dialog, table, or sidebar. Components are copied into your project for full customization.

How do I build forms with shadcn/ui and react-hook-form?▼

Combine the Form, FormField, FormItem, FormLabel, and FormMessage components with useForm from react-hook-form and a Zod schema via zodResolver. This gives you typed validation, error messages, and controlled inputs including Select and Textarea fields.

How do I add dark mode to a Next.js app with shadcn/ui?▼

Install next-themes and wrap your root layout in a ThemeProvider with attribute="class" and defaultTheme="system". Add a toggle component using useTheme and setTheme to switch between light, dark, and system modes.

Does shadcn/ui work with TanStack Table for data tables?▼

Yes, shadcn/ui Table components pair with useReactTable from @tanstack/react-table. Define ColumnDef entries with custom cell renderers, then enable sorting and pagination with getSortedRowModel and getPaginationRowModel.

When should I not use shadcn/ui for a project?▼

Avoid shadcn/ui for non-React applications or when your project mandates a different component library. It is designed specifically for React and Next.js stacks using Tailwind CSS and Radix UI primitives.
