What problem does it solve?

This skill keeps shadcn/ui components consistent by collecting project context, enforcing styling and composition rules, and guiding CLI commands so teams do not ship misaligned layouts or theme variables.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Documents CLI usage patterns for init, add, search, docs, info, and diff commands with the correct package runner while highlighting registries, preset switching, and recommended workflows.
  • Highlights styling, forms, composition, icons, and base-vs-radix rules so component additions always use semantic tokens, FieldGroup structures, proper groups, and accessible overlays.
  • Provides project-specific context such as aliases, resolved paths, global CSS entry points, monorepo layout, update strategies, registry handling, and complements additional skills for template placement, design direction, and Tailwind practices.
