SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Building consistent, accessible, and responsive user interfaces from scratch is slow and error-prone. This Skill provides a complete workflow for composing UIs with shadcn/ui components (built on Radix UI primitives), styling them with Tailwind CSS utilities, and producing canvas-based visual designs, so you avoid reinventing component patterns, theme systems, and accessibility behavior. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Accessible Component Library: Install and compose shadcn/ui components (dialogs, forms, tables, navigation, toasts) with built-in Radix UI accessibility, keyboard navigation, and TypeScript type safety. - Utility-First Styling & Theming: Apply Tailwind CSS utilities for layout, spacing, typography, responsive breakpoints, dark mode, and custom design tokens via CSS variables and config generation. - Visual Design System: Create canvas-based visual compositions, posters, and brand materials using a philosophy-driven design approach with bundled open-license fonts. - Use Case: You need a dashboard with a validated login form, responsive card grid, and dark mode toggle. Use this Skill to scaffold shadcn/ui components, wire up react-hook-form with zod validation, and apply Tailwind responsive and dark-mode classes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a responsive dashboard page using shadcn/ui Card and Button components with Tailwind CSS styling and dark mode support.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add shadcn/ui components to my React project?▼

Run npx shadcn@latest init to configure your framework, TypeScript, paths, and theme, then add components with npx shadcn@latest add button card dialog. Components are copied into your codebase for full customization.

How do I implement dark mode with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui?▼

Use next-themes for theme switching and define colors as CSS variables that change per theme. Apply Tailwind dark: variants to themed elements so backgrounds, borders, and text adapt consistently.

Does shadcn/ui work with frameworks other than Next.js?▼

Yes, shadcn/ui supports Vite, Remix, and Astro in addition to Next.js. The CLI init flow detects your framework and configures Tailwind CSS and import paths accordingly.

How do I build a validated form with shadcn/ui?▼

Combine the Form component with react-hook-form and zodResolver for schema validation. Define a zod schema, wire FormField controls to inputs, and validation messages render through FormMessage automatically.

What are the limitations of utility-first Tailwind styling?▼

Long class strings can reduce readability on complex elements, and dynamic class names break Tailwind's build-time purging. Extract repeated patterns into components and use the config or @theme directive for custom tokens instead of arbitrary values.
