tailwind-v4-config

tailwind-v4-config is a cursor rule for Cursor from RoninForge/roninforge-tailwind-v4. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,411 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Configuration rules for Tailwind CSS version 4, a tool that generates styling classes from design settings. They cover colors, fonts, spacing, source files, and setup in CSS, PostCSS, and Vite.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide edits to CSS files and build configuration, including defining design tokens with @theme, locating source files with @source, and setting up the Vite plugin.
Why use it?
They help keep a Tailwind v4 project configured in the format the new version expects. They also identify older configuration files that may need conversion.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: a Cursor rule (.mdc).

Not installable on its own: it reads a path above its own folder, which only exists inside its repository. The line is @source "../node_modules/@acmecorp/ui-lib";.

Install

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Cursor.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tailwind-v4-config scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tailwind v4 Configuration

These rules apply when editing CSS files, PostCSS config, Vite config, or Tailwind config files. This rule also auto-attaches to tailwind.config.* files - if you see one in a v4 project, it may be a migration artifact that needs conversion to @theme.

The @theme Directive

@theme defines design tokens that generate both CSS variables and utility classes:

@import "tailwindcss";

@theme {
  /* Colors - generates bg-brand, text-brand, border-brand, etc. */
  --color-brand: #ff6a00;
  --color-surface: #0a0a0a;
  --color-surface-raised: #1a1a1a;
  --color-muted: #737373;

  /* Fonts - generates font-sans, font-mono, etc. */
  --font-sans: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "JetBrains Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;

  /* Spacing - generates p-18, m-18, gap-18, etc. */
  --spacing-18: 4.5rem;
  --spacing-128: 32rem;

  /* Border radius - generates rounded-card, etc. */
  --radius-card: 0.75rem;

  /* Shadows - generates shadow-card, etc. */
  --shadow-card: 0 2px 8px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.12);

  /* Breakpoints - generates sm:, md:, etc. */
  --breakpoint-sm: 40rem;
  --breakpoint-md: 48rem;
  --breakpoint-lg: 64rem;
  --breakpoint-xl: 80rem;
  --breakpoint-2xl: 96rem;

  /* Animations */
  --animate-fade-in: fade-in 0.3s ease-out;
}

@keyframes fade-in {
  from { opacity: 0; }
  to { opacity: 1; }
}

Resetting Default Theme Namespaces

Use initial to clear a namespace before defining your own values:

@theme {
  /* Remove ALL default colors, define only yours */
  --color-*: initial;
  --color-white: #ffffff;
  --color-black: #000000;
  --color-brand: #ff6a00;
  --color-gray-50: #fafafa;
  --color-gray-100: #f5f5f5;
  --color-gray-900: #171717;
}

This is useful for strict brand compliance where default Tailwind colors should not be available.

The @source Directive

Control which files Tailwind scans for class names:

@import "tailwindcss";

/* Include a UI library from node_modules */
@source "../node_modules/@acmecorp/ui-lib";

/* Exclude legacy code from scanning */
@source not "../src/legacy";

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
