SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Building consistent, accessible user interfaces from scratch requires deep knowledge of ARIA patterns, responsive design, and theme systems. This Skill provides structured guidance for composing shadcn/ui components, styling with Tailwind CSS, and implementing dark mode without reinventing each pattern. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Component Implementation: Install and compose shadcn/ui components (forms, dialogs, tables, navigation) built on Radix UI primitives with full TypeScript support. - Tailwind Styling & Theming: Apply utility-first styling, responsive breakpoints, CSS variable theming, and dark mode via next-themes. - Automation Scripts: Use Python scripts to add shadcn/ui components and generate Tailwind configuration programmatically. - Use Case: When building a Next.js dashboard, use this Skill to scaffold a responsive card grid with dark mode support, an accessible form with Zod validation, and a consistent theme based on CSS variables. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to build a responsive login form with shadcn/ui components, Tailwind styling, and dark mode support.

Frequently Asked Questions about ui-styling

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add shadcn/ui components to a Next.js project?▼

Run npx shadcn@latest init to configure the project, then npx shadcn@latest add button card dialog to install components into components/ui. The included shadcn_add.py script wraps this CLI for programmatic installation with dependency checks.

How to implement dark mode with shadcn/ui and Tailwind?▼

Install next-themes, wrap the app in a ThemeProvider with attribute="class", and define light and dark CSS variables in globals.css. Tailwind's dark: variant then switches colors based on the .dark class on the html element.

Does shadcn/ui support form validation with React Hook Form?▼

Yes, the Form component integrates React Hook Form with zodResolver for schema validation. FormField, FormItem, FormLabel, and FormMessage wire up validation state and accessible error announcements automatically.

Are shadcn/ui components accessible for screen readers?▼

Yes, components are built on Radix UI primitives following WAI-ARIA patterns, providing keyboard navigation, focus trapping in dialogs, and screen reader announcements. You should still add aria-labels to icon-only buttons and verify color contrast.

What are the limitations of utility-first Tailwind styling?▼

Dynamic class names constructed at runtime are removed by build-time purging, so use the safelist config or complete class strings. Heavy repetition of long class chains should be extracted with @apply or component variants rather than copied.
