SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction from creating and migrating to Tailwind CSS v4 design systems by providing clear, production-ready patterns for CSS-first theming, semantic tokens, component variants, responsive layouts, animations, and accessibility considerations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CSS-first theming with @theme and OKLCH tokens for consistent semantic colors, radii, and animation tokens across a codebase.
  • Component patterns (CVA, compound components, and utilities) for type-safe variants, sizes, states, and predictable composition in React 19.
  • Responsive grid, container, and layout helpers plus dark-mode via @custom-variant to standardize UI across breakpoints and themes.
  • Native CSS animations and accessibility best practices to replace plugin-based approaches and ensure focus states and ARIA support.
  • Migration checklist and real-world example: migrate from Tailwind v3 to v4 and build a reusable button, card, and form library for a SaaS product.

Quick Start

Create a Tailwind v4 CSS-first theme with semantic OKLCH tokens and implement a CVA-based Button component that supports light and dark modes.
