SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of creating clean, maintainable, accessible front-end UI for DailiesApp, reducing inconsistencies and boilerplate across pages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tailwind-powered styling for fast, consistent spacing, typography, colors, and states.
  • Vanilla CSS for layout primitives, reusable shells, and edge-case components like task rows and modals.
  • Vanilla JS for UI behavior, event delegation, state-driven rendering, and progressive enhancement.
  • Use Case: Build a responsive dashboard with a task list where keyboard navigation and screen-reader access are preserved.

Quick Start

Start with a semantic HTML scaffold (header, main dashboard, modal container) and implement a minimal task list using Tailwind utilities and vanilla CSS, then add basic keyboard support and ARIA labels.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build an accessible task list UI with Tailwind CSS and vanilla JavaScript?▼

You can build responsive dashboards and task lists using Tailwind CSS for consistent spacing and vanilla CSS for layout primitives. This combination reduces boilerplate and ensures maintainable structure across pages without React dependencies.

How does vanilla JavaScript handle UI behavior for modals without a framework?▼

Vanilla JavaScript manages UI behavior through event delegation, state-driven rendering, and progressive enhancement using data-* hooks. This framework-free approach maintains keyboard navigation and screen-reader accessibility for modals and task rows.

Do I need React to create responsive dashboards with keyboard navigation support?▼

No, React is not required. You can create responsive dashboards with keyboard navigation support using Tailwind CSS v4, vanilla CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. The workflow emphasizes semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and progressive enhancement for screen-reader access.

What is the best way to structure semantic HTML for screen-reader accessibility in a dashboard?▼

Structure semantic HTML using header, main dashboard, and modal container elements to support screen-reader accessibility. Incorporating ARIA labels and data-* hooks within this scaffold allows assistive technologies to interpret task lists and UI states accurately.

When should I use vanilla CSS instead of Tailwind utilities for front-end components?▼

Use vanilla CSS for layout primitives, reusable shells, and edge-case components like task rows and modals. Tailwind CSS utilities handle fast, consistent spacing, typography, colors, and states, while vanilla CSS manages structural layout primitives.
