Contains Shell Commands

This skill contains shell command directives (!`command`) that may execute system commands. Review carefully before installing.

shadcn/ui

A framework for building ui, components and design systems. Components are added as source code to the user's project via the CLI.

IMPORTANT: Run all CLI commands using the project's package runner: npx shadcn@latest, pnpm dlx shadcn@latest, or bunx --bun shadcn@latest — based on the project's packageManager. Examples below use npx shadcn@latest but substitute the correct runner for the project.

When to Use

  • Use when adding new components from shadcn/ui or community registries.
  • Use when styling, composing, or debugging existing shadcn/ui components.
  • Use when initializing a new project or switching design system presets.
  • Use to retrieve component documentation, examples, and API references.

Current Project Context

!`npx shadcn@latest info --json 2>/dev/null || echo '{"error": "No shadcn project found. Run shadcn init first."}'`

The JSON above contains the project config and installed components. Use npx shadcn@latest docs <component> to get documentation and example URLs for any component.
