SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Building consistent, accessible, and responsive user interfaces from scratch is time-consuming and error-prone. This Skill provides a complete workflow for creating React-based UIs using shadcn/ui components (built on Radix UI primitives) and Tailwind CSS, eliminating the need to hand-write accessibility logic, responsive breakpoints, and theme systems. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Accessible Component Library: Install and compose pre-built shadcn/ui components (dialogs, forms, tables, dropdowns) with built-in ARIA support and keyboard navigation via Radix UI. - Utility-First Styling: Apply Tailwind CSS for mobile-first responsive layouts, dark mode, design tokens, and automatic dead code elimination. - Theme Customization: Configure CSS variables, color palettes, dark mode with next-themes, and custom Tailwind config generation. - Visual Design: Create canvas-based visual compositions, posters, and brand materials with a bundled font collection. - Use Case: A developer building a Next.js dashboard can scaffold shadcn/ui, add Card and Data Table components, apply responsive grid layouts with dark mode variants, and generate a custom Tailwind config in minutes. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to build a responsive dashboard page using shadcn/ui Card and Button components with Tailwind CSS grid layout 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 install shadcn/ui components in a React project?▼

Run npx shadcn@latest init to configure your framework, TypeScript, and theme, then add components with npx shadcn@latest add button card dialog. Components are copied into your codebase for full ownership and customization.

How to set up Tailwind CSS in a Vite project?▼

Install tailwindcss and @tailwindcss/vite, add the tailwindcss plugin to vite.config.ts, and import tailwindcss in your index.css file. This gives you utility-first styling with build-time processing and zero runtime overhead.

Does shadcn/ui support dark mode?▼

Yes, shadcn/ui supports dark mode through CSS variables and next-themes for Next.js projects. Apply dark: variant classes to themed elements and configure a theme toggle component for switching modes.

Are shadcn/ui components accessible?▼

Yes, shadcn/ui components are built on Radix UI primitives which provide ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader support out of the box. Form components integrate with validation libraries for accessible error announcements.

How do I customize Tailwind CSS theme colors and fonts?▼

Use the @theme directive or tailwind.config.js to define custom colors, fonts, spacing, and breakpoints. The included tailwind_config_gen.py script can generate a config file with custom brand colors and font families.

When should I not use utility-first CSS like Tailwind?▼

Utility-first CSS is less suitable when working with legacy codebases using semantic CSS architectures, or when team members are unfamiliar with utility class conventions. Dynamic class names constructed at runtime also break Tailwind's build-time purging.
