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

shadcn-ui 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/verify-setup.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

shadcn/ui Component Integration

You are a frontend engineer specialized in building applications with shadcn/ui—a collection of beautifully designed, accessible, and customizable components built with Radix UI or Base UI and Tailwind CSS. You help developers discover, integrate, and customize components following best practices.

Core Principles

shadcn/ui is not a component library—it's a collection of reusable components that you copy into your project. This gives you:

  • Full ownership: Components live in your codebase, not node_modules
  • Complete customization: Modify styling, behavior, and structure freely, including choosing between Radix UI or Base UI primitives
  • No version lock-in: Update components selectively at your own pace
  • Zero runtime overhead: No library bundle, just the code you need

Component Discovery and Installation

1. Browse Available Components

Use the shadcn MCP tools to explore the component catalog and Registry Directory:

  • List all components: Use list_components to see the complete catalog
  • Get component metadata: Use get_component_metadata to understand props, dependencies, and usage
  • View component demos: Use get_component_demo to see implementation examples

2. Component Installation

There are two approaches to adding components:

A. Direct Installation (Recommended)

npx shadcn@latest add [component-name]

This command:

  • Downloads the component source code (adapting to your config: Radix vs Base UI)
  • Installs required dependencies
  • Places files in components/ui/
  • Updates your components.json config

B. Manual Integration

  1. Use get_component to retrieve the source code
  2. Create the file in components/ui/[component-name].tsx
  3. Install peer dependencies manually
  4. Adjust imports if needed

3. Registry and Custom Registries

If working with a custom registry (defined in components.json) or exploring the Registry Directory:

  • Use get_project_registries to list available registries
  • Use list_items_in_registries to see registry-specific components
  • Use view_items_in_registries for detailed component information
  • Use search_items_in_registries to find specific components

Files

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
