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-design-system 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 today.

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.

Tailwind CSS & shadcn/ui Design System

Overview

Expert guide for creating and managing a centralized Design System using Tailwind CSS (v4.1+) and shadcn/ui. This skill provides structured workflows for defining design tokens, configuring themes with CSS variables, and building a consistent UI component library based on shadcn/ui primitives.

Relationship with other skills:

  • tailwind-css-patterns covers utility-first styling, responsive design, and general Tailwind CSS usage
  • shadcn-ui covers individual component installation, configuration, and implementation
  • This skill focuses on the system-level orchestration: design tokens, theming infrastructure, component wrapping patterns, and ensuring consistency across the entire application

When to Use

  • Setting up a new design system from scratch with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui
  • Defining design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, radius, shadows) as CSS variables
  • Configuring globals.css with a centralized theming system (light/dark mode)
  • Wrapping shadcn/ui components into design system primitives with enforced constraints
  • Building a token-driven component library for consistent UI
  • Migrating from a JavaScript-based Tailwind config to CSS-first configuration (v4.1+)
  • Establishing color palettes with oklch format for perceptual uniformity
  • Creating multi-theme support beyond light/dark (e.g., brand themes)

Instructions

Step 1: Initialize Design System Configuration

Run these commands to set up the project:

# Check if Tailwind is installed
npx tailwindcss --version

# For Tailwind v4 (recommended)
npx @tailwindcss/vite@latest init   # or: npm install -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite

# Initialize shadcn/ui CLI
npx shadcn@latest init

# Install core shadcn/ui components
npx shadcn@latest add button card input -y

Validation checkpoint: After setup, verify with:

ls src/components/ui/        # Should list installed components
cat src/app/globals.css       # Should contain @tailwind directives

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.
