SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Integrating shadcn/ui into Vite + React + TypeScript projects (non-Next.js) involves configuring Tailwind CSS, components.json, theming, and component structure, which can be a manual and error-prone process. This Skill automates the setup and ensures a consistent design system, saving you configuration time.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated shadcn/ui Setup: Install and configure shadcn/ui in Vite + React + TS projects from scratch, including necessary dependencies.
Tailwind & Theming Configuration: Set up Tailwind CSS, PostCSS, and theming (colors, radius, dark mode) for shadcn/ui components.
Component Generation & Organization: Generate base shadcn primitives (Button, Input) and align project structure with best practices for components/ui and lib/utils.

Quick Start

Install and configure shadcn/ui in this Vite + React + TS app, setting up Tailwind + shadcn and creating base button/input components.
