FAQPage Schema
How do I manage shadcn UI components across multiple projects?

You can manage shadcn UI components across projects using a unified workflow that automates discovery, initialization, and documentation to reduce manual setup overhead. This Skill coordinates component registries and presets to maintain consistent project context.

What is a shadcn preset and how do I switch presets in an existing project?

A shadcn preset defines a configuration for initializing components. You can switch presets and regenerate context in an existing project by updating the components.json file and applying the new preset configuration through the unified workflow.

How do I initialize a shadcn UI project with a specific components.json configuration?

To initialize a shadcn UI project, you use the workflow to apply a preset based on your components.json file. This sets up the project context, enables component search, and prepares directories like scripts/ and references/ for deterministic tasks.

Can I access shadcn component docs and usage examples directly within my project workflow?

Yes, the workflow provides access to component docs, usage examples, and project context. It coordinates optional directories such as references/ and assets/ to load documentation and maintain consistency across your shadcn UI components.

Does this workflow support adding components from a custom shadcn registry?

Yes, the workflow supports adding and searching components from custom shadcn registries. It uses the SKILL.md frontmatter for discovery and coordinates with your project's components.json to ensure components are added consistently.

What are the limitations of using a preset-based workflow for shadcn UI components?

The preset-based workflow relies on a components.json file and SKILL.md frontmatter for context. It coordinates optional directories for assets and scripts, but deterministic task execution depends on maintaining this consistent structural context across projects.
