shadcn-tailwind

shadcn-tailwind is a skill for Codex from JakubMikolajek/codex-skills-collection. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,440 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of styling guidelines for React or Next.js interfaces built with shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS. shadcn/ui provides reusable interface components, while Tailwind CSS uses utility classes to style them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building or reviewing buttons, dialogs, forms, component variants, responsive layouts, and other styled React interface elements.
Why use it?
It helps keep components, responsive layouts, design tokens, and utility classes consistent across the application.

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-tailwind 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.

shadcn Tailwind Implementation Patterns

Use this skill when the UI stack is React or Next.js with shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS. Reuse the general react or react-nextjs skill for application logic and use this skill for component styling, primitives, variants, and utility hygiene.

When to Use

  • Building or modifying UI with shadcn/ui components and Radix primitives
  • Styling components with Tailwind CSS utility classes in a React or Next.js project
  • Creating component variants, extending shadcn primitives, or composing design system elements
  • Reviewing Tailwind class hygiene, responsive behavior, or design token consistency

When NOT to Use

  • Task is about React logic, hooks, or state without styling specifics — use react
  • Task is about Vue/Nuxt with Vuetify or PrimeVue — use vuetify-primevue
  • Task is about visual design decisions (color palette, typography scale, animation craft) — use ui-design-quality alongside this skill

Delivery Workflow

Use the checklist below and track progress:

shadcn Tailwind progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Discover existing UI primitives, tokens, and utility conventions
- [ ] Step 2: Reuse or extend existing shadcn/ui components
- [ ] Step 3: Implement variants and layout with disciplined Tailwind usage
- [ ] Step 4: Verify accessibility and responsive behavior
- [ ] Step 5: Review class hygiene, consistency, and reuse

Component Reuse Rules

  • Reuse existing shadcn/ui primitives before creating new wrappers.
  • Keep wrappers thin and capability-focused; do not create parallel component libraries casually.
  • Extend components through variants and composition rather than copy-pasting markup.
  • Preserve the expected API shape of shared primitives unless a project-wide migration is intended.

Tailwind Utility Discipline

  • Prefer readable class grouping over long unstructured class strings.
  • Keep layout, spacing, typography, and state styles intentional.
  • Reuse the project's utility helpers such as cn or equivalent merge helpers when available.
  • Avoid one-off arbitrary values unless the design system genuinely needs them.
  • Map recurring visual patterns into shared components or variants instead of repeating the same utility bundles.

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.
