SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Styling modern web interfaces consistently is hard: ad-hoc CSS leads to inconsistent spacing, broken responsive behavior, and bloated stylesheets. This Skill provides structured guidance for Tailwind CSS v4, covering CSS-first configuration, design tokens, responsive patterns, and performance optimization. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tailwind v4 Configuration: Set up CSS-first @theme configuration with custom colors, typography, and spacing tokens instead of legacy tailwind.config.js. - Responsive & Component Patterns: Apply mobile-first breakpoints, responsive grids, and ready-made card, button, input, and flex patterns with dark mode support. - Performance Optimization: Avoid purged dynamic classes, use safelists when needed, and produce minified production builds. - Use Case: When building a landing page, use this Skill to define a brand color palette as CSS variables, compose a responsive card grid, and add a dark mode toggle with class-based strategy. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to build a responsive pricing page with Tailwind CSS v4, including a custom brand theme, dark mode support, and mobile-first grid layout.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Tailwind CSS v4 with a custom theme?

Tailwind v4 uses CSS-first configuration: import "tailwindcss" in your CSS file and define tokens inside an @theme block, such as --color-primary, --font-display, and custom spacing values. No tailwind.config.js or content array is required because files are scanned automatically.

How to make a responsive grid layout with Tailwind CSS?

Use mobile-first breakpoint prefixes on grid utilities, for example "grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-4". Base classes apply to mobile, and md, lg, xl, and 2xl prefixes progressively adjust the layout at larger widths.

Does Tailwind CSS v4 support dark mode?

Yes, Tailwind supports dark mode via the class strategy: add the "dark" class to the html element and use dark: variants like "bg-white dark:bg-gray-900". You can toggle it with JavaScript and persist the choice in localStorage.

Why are my dynamic Tailwind classes missing in production?

Tailwind purges unused classes at build time, so interpolated classes like `text-${color}-500` are not detected and get removed. Always write full class names with conditional logic, or add patterns to the safelist in your config.

Should I use @apply or utility classes for components in Tailwind?

The recommended strategy is extracting repeated markup into components rather than using @apply for complex styles. Utility classes stay in the HTML, keeping the purge mechanism effective and the bundle small.
