What is style-modus-components-with-tailwind?

A guide to creating React wrapper components around Modus web components with typed properties, references, event handling, and cleanup. A wrapper is a small component that adapts one component's interface for use elsewhere.

Use it to add a new reusable wrapper for a Modus component and connect its properties and browser events to React code.

It prevents repeated integration mistakes when a Modus component does not already have a suitable React wrapper.

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	$0.00035	$0.03024
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.01210
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00605
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00302

Security

Grade A, and why

style-modus-components-with-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 2mo 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.

Style Modus Components with Tailwind

Style Modus components using custom border and opacity utilities that work with CSS variables, avoiding Tailwind patterns that don't work with runtime CSS variables.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

Styling Modus components with borders
Applying opacity to design system colors
Creating theme-aware components
Avoiding common Tailwind + CSS variable pitfalls
Ensuring components work in all 6 Modus themes

The Core Problem

Tailwind CSS processes colors at build time, but Modus Design System uses CSS variables that resolve at runtime. This creates incompatibilities:

❌ border-red-500 - Hardcoded color, not theme-aware
❌ text-foreground/80 - Doesn't work with CSS variables
❌ border border-destructive - May not work reliably

Solution: Use custom utilities that work with CSS variables at runtime.

Reference Documentation

For detailed technical explanation, see: docs/tailwind-css-variables-problem.md

Available Border Utilities

Standard borders (1px):

border-default - Default border color

border-dashed-success - Dashed success border
border-dashed-warning - Dashed warning border
