SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Building and maintaining shadcn/ui components often leads to inconsistent styling, incorrect composition, accessibility gaps, and API misuse when working across different presets (base vs radix) or integrating third-party registry components. This Skill eliminates those issues by enforcing project-aligned best practices and automating common CLI workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Component Lifecycle Management: Add, search, update, and debug shadcn/ui components from official and community registries, with automatic import path correction for third-party components to match your project's aliases.
  • Best Practice Enforcement: Enforces strict composition rules, semantic Tailwind styling, accessibility requirements, and correct base/radix API usage to prevent common UI bugs and maintain consistency.
  • Use Case: When building a Next.js settings page, use this Skill to add pre-built Form, ToggleGroup, and Dialog components that match your project's preset, icon library, and Tailwind configuration, with no manual styling or import fixes required.

Quick Start

Use the shadcn skill to add a pre-built, correctly configured Button component to your existing shadcn/ui project that matches your project's preset and icon library.
