SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the friction of adding shadcn/ui into React applications by guiding component discovery, installation, configuration, and customization so teams can ship UI features faster with fewer integration errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Component discovery and metadata retrieval using shadcn MCP tools and registries to choose the right primitives and blocks.
  • Deterministic installation workflows: CLI-driven add, manual integration steps, dependency checks, and components.json configuration.
  • Theming and customization guidance: CSS variables, Tailwind integration, CVA variants, and wrapper composition patterns.
  • Blocks & examples for common UI patterns (auth flows, data tables, forms, dashboards) and migration strategies from other libraries.
  • Quality checks and validation: TypeScript checks, accessibility reminders, responsive testing, and a verification script to validate project setup.

Quick Start

Initialize shadcn/ui in your project and add a component (for example, add a button component) to scaffold files and install required dependencies.
