What is migrate-design-system-to-shadcn?

A migration guide for replacing Chakra UI, a React component library, with shadcn/ui, a collection of components built into the project. It requires removing Chakra packages and code while preserving accessibility, routing, and existing feature behavior.

Use it to migrate the client UI, update dependencies and providers, replace Chakra components, and check that routes, themes, translations, state management, and accessibility continue to work.

It provides a defined path for changing the client interface system without leaving old Chakra dependencies behind. It also highlights behavior and keyboard-access requirements that could otherwise be lost during the migration.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00029	$0.00558
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.00279
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00112
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00056

Security

Grade A, and why

migrate-design-system-to-shadcn 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 12d 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.

Migrate Design System to shadcn/ui

Use this skill when replacing Chakra UI with shadcn/ui as the primary component system.

Goal

Adopt shadcn/ui for component primitives and styling, and completely remove Chakra UI from the repository.

Hard Requirement

At completion, no Chakra runtime or Chakra-specific code should remain:

no @chakra-ui/* dependencies
no Chakra providers/components/hooks
no Chakra-specific imports in client code

Files To Update

1) Dependencies (`package.json`)

Add shadcn prerequisites (typically Tailwind CSS + required utility libs).
Install selected shadcn component dependencies.
Remove Chakra packages:
- @chakra-ui/react
- @emotion/react
- @emotion/styled
- any Chakra-only addons

2) App/provider bootstrap

Replace Chakra provider setup in src/client/main.tsx.
Keep existing Redux, i18n, and theme responsibilities functioning after migration.

3) Component migration

Replace components in:
- src/client/ui/components/
- src/client/ui/layout/
- src/client/pages/
Preserve accessibility semantics, focus states, and keyboard interactions.
Keep route behavior and existing feature logic unchanged.

4) Styling system migration

Introduce shadcn-compatible global styling strategy.
Move Chakra prop-based styles to className/utility-driven styles.
Keep dark/light mode behavior equivalent (or document differences explicitly).

5) Docs and guidance

Update docs where Chakra is referenced:
- README.md
- AGENTS.md
- docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
- docs/TECHNOLOGY.md
Add CHANGELOG.md entry in Unreleased.

Validation Checklist

Run npm run lint
Run npm run type-check
Run focused E2E tests for primary UI flows:
- playwright/e2e/auth/login.spec.ts
- playwright/e2e/accessibility/skip-link.spec.ts
- playwright/e2e/layout/footer-position.spec.ts
Verify Chakra is fully removed:
- rg \"@chakra-ui|Chakra|chakra\" src package.json docs AGENTS.md

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.
