FAQPage Schema
How do I implement a consistent UI design system in React and Next.js?

To implement a consistent React UI design system, you need standardized tokens, component primitives, and setup guidelines. This Skill provides an operator-console look using Aurora tokens and shadcn-compatible components for Next.js development.

Does the Aurora design system work with existing shadcn components?

Yes, the Aurora design system works with shadcn by providing a shadcn-compatible registry and a token bridge. It maps dark and light mode tokens directly to shadcn configurations for seamless integration.

What do I need to configure before adding Aurora design tokens to my project?

Before adding Aurora design tokens, you need React and Next.js installed, along with shadcn dependencies. You must also apply specific CSS and font configurations to ensure the UI primitives render correctly.

How do I create static HTML mockups using a React design system?

To create static HTML mockups using a React design system, you can use static artifacts and token references. This Skill shows how to build prototypes with Aurora assets and tokens without requiring a full runtime environment.

When should I use a shadcn-compatible registry for UI implementation?

You should use a shadcn-compatible registry for UI implementation when building operator or agent control-plane surfaces that require strict visual consistency. It provides a detailed inventory of product blocks and UI primitives for standardized review.
