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 design tokens. This Skill provides structured guidance for composing production interfaces with shadcn/ui components, Tailwind CSS utilities, and canvas-based visual design systems. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Component Library Guidance: Covers the full shadcn/ui catalog including forms with React Hook Form and Zod validation, dialogs, data tables, command palettes, and navigation patterns. - Tailwind Styling System: Documents utility classes, responsive breakpoints, dark mode with CSS variables, and theme customization via @theme directives. - Accessibility Patterns: Provides keyboard navigation, screen reader support, focus management, and WCAG contrast guidance built on Radix UI primitives. - Use Case: When building a Next.js dashboard, use this Skill to scaffold a responsive card grid with dark mode support, add a validated login form, and ensure all interactive elements meet accessibility standards. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a responsive dashboard layout using shadcn/ui Card and Button components with Tailwind grid classes 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 my React project?▼

Run npx shadcn@latest init to configure your project, then use npx shadcn@latest add followed by component names like button, card, or dialog. Components are copied into your codebase under components/ui with full TypeScript support.

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

Install next-themes, wrap your app in a ThemeProvider with attribute set to class, and define dark theme CSS variables under a .dark selector in globals.css. Components then respond to dark: utility variants automatically.

Does shadcn/ui support form validation?▼

Yes, the Form component integrates React Hook Form with Zod resolvers for schema validation. Define a Zod schema, connect it via zodResolver, and use FormField, FormItem, and FormMessage to display validation errors accessibly.

Are shadcn/ui components accessible by default?▼

Yes, components are built on Radix UI primitives which follow WAI-ARIA design patterns. They include keyboard navigation, focus trapping in dialogs, screen reader announcements, and proper ARIA attributes out of the box.

What is the difference between Tailwind utility classes and @apply extraction?▼

Utility classes are applied directly in markup for one-off styling, while @apply extracts repeated patterns into CSS component classes. Use utilities by default and extract only when the same combination repeats across many elements.

Can I customize shadcn/ui component styles?▼

Yes, since components live in your codebase you can edit them directly, add new variants via class-variance-authority, or override styles per instance with the className prop. Theme colors are controlled through CSS variables.
