SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Styling web interfaces with Tailwind CSS requires knowing the correct utility classes, spacing conventions, dark mode variants, and responsive breakpoints. This Skill guides the AI to write clean, convention-compliant Tailwind markup and avoid common mistakes like redundant classes or missing dark mode support. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Utility Class Authoring: Write and fix Tailwind CSS v3 classes in Blade, JSX, or Vue templates following project conventions. - Layout Patterns: Build responsive flexbox and grid layouts, including multi-column card grids, dashboards with sidebars, and mobile-toggle navs. - Dark Mode & Spacing: Apply dark: variants consistently and use gap utilities instead of margins for sibling spacing. - Use Case: You need a responsive pricing section with three cards that collapses to one column on mobile and supports dark mode. The Skill generates the correct grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 structure with proper dark mode classes. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to build a responsive three-column card grid with dark mode support using Tailwind CSS in your Blade template.

Frequently Asked Questions about tailwindcss-development

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a responsive grid layout with Tailwind CSS?▼

Use grid utilities with responsive breakpoint prefixes, such as `grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6`. This stacks items in one column on mobile and expands to multiple columns on larger screens, with gap utilities handling spacing between items.

How to add dark mode support in Tailwind CSS components?▼

Apply the `dark:` variant to color utilities, for example `bg-white dark:bg-gray-900 text-gray-900 dark:text-white`. New pages and components should follow the same dark mode pattern already used in the project.

Should I use margin or gap for spacing between flex items in Tailwind?▼

Use gap utilities like `gap-4` or `gap-8` on the flex or grid container instead of margins on child elements. Gap utilities avoid spacing inconsistencies and reduce redundant classes across sibling elements.

Does this Tailwind skill support Tailwind CSS v4?▼

The Skill targets Tailwind CSS v3 specifically, using `tailwind.config.js` for configuration and `@tailwind base/components/utilities` directives for imports. It verifies that only v3-supported classes are used.

When should I not use Tailwind utility classes?▼

Skip Tailwind work for backend PHP logic, database queries, API routes, JavaScript without HTML/CSS, CSS file audits, and build tool configuration. The Skill is scoped to writing utility classes in HTML templates.
