SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides clear, production-ready patterns and configuration to replace fragmented Tailwind setups with a consistent CSS-first design system, removing uncertainty around v4 theming, component variants, dark mode, and migration from v3.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CSS-first theming: use @theme blocks and semantic OKLCH tokens to create predictable color and spacing tokens across projects.
  • Component libraries: CVA-powered variants, compound components, form controls, and utility composition patterns for reusable UI kits.
  • Responsive & accessibility patterns: responsive grid/container helpers, focus ring utilities, ARIA and keyboard-ready component examples.
  • Dark mode & native animations: @custom-variant dark strategies, native @keyframes inside @theme, and @starting-style entry animations.
  • Migration & best practices: step-by-step checklist to move from Tailwind v3 to v4, guidance on removing tailwind.config.ts, and recommendations for semantic tokens and plugin replacement.
  • Use cases include building a company UI kit, migrating an existing codebase from v3 to v4, and standardizing theming and accessibility across multiple products.

Quick Start

Define a @theme block with semantic OKLCH tokens, implement CVA-driven component variants for buttons and cards, and enable dark mode with @custom-variant to establish a consistent Tailwind v4 design system.

How do I migrate a Tailwind v3 design system to v4?

Migrate a Tailwind design system from v3 to v4 by removing tailwind.config.ts, adopting CSS-first @theme blocks, and replacing legacy plugin configurations with native CSS variables and OKLCH semantic tokens.

How do I set up dark mode in Tailwind CSS v4?

Set up dark mode in Tailwind CSS v4 using the @custom-variant dark directive within your CSS, establishing a consistent strategy for applying dark theme styles across your semantic tokens and component variants.

What is the best way to manage component variants in a Tailwind design system?

Manage component variants in a Tailwind design system using CVA (class variance authority) to compose reusable utility patterns, compound components, and form controls with predictable styling outputs.

Does Tailwind v4 support CSS-first theming and OKLCH color tokens?

Yes, Tailwind v4 supports CSS-first theming through native @theme blocks, allowing you to define semantic OKLCH color tokens directly in CSS to create predictable spacing and color scales across projects.

How do I configure native CSS animations in a Tailwind v4 theme?

Configure native CSS animations in a Tailwind v4 theme by defining @keyframes directly inside your @theme block and utilizing @starting-style for entry animations to handle component transitions natively.

Can I build accessible React 19 components with Tailwind v4?

Yes, you can build accessible React 19 components with Tailwind v4 by applying ref conventions, ARIA attributes, keyboard-ready examples, and focus ring utilities to ensure responsive and accessible UI interactions.
