SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Inconsistent styling, inaccessible components, and slow UI setup create wasted time and fragmented user experiences; this Skill codifies patterns and tooling to deliver consistent, accessible interfaces quickly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Component scaffolding: Install and compose shadcn/ui (Radix) components into a React codebase with Tailwind utility classes for type-safe, composable UI primitives.
  • Theming & dark mode: Generate CSS variable-driven Tailwind configurations, theme toggles, and presets for consistent color tokens and radius systems.
  • Accessibility & patterns: Provide ARIA guidance, focus management, keyboard navigation, and testing checklists for dialogs, forms, menus, and live regions.
  • Visual canvas design: Produce high-quality, canvas-first visual compositions and multi-page design systems for brand and editorial outputs.
  • Use case: Quickly scaffold a dashboard with accessible dialogs, responsive card grids, a theme toggle, and a production-ready Tailwind config.

Quick Start

Use the ui-styling skill to scaffold shadcn/ui components, generate a Tailwind theme, and add a responsive Button and Card to your project.
