A toolkit for shadcn/ui, a collection of reusable user-interface components that are added as editable source code to a project.

Use it when working with shadcn/ui projects, component registries, design systems, presets, or projects containing a components.json file.

It helps developers find, add, style, combine, and troubleshoot interface components without rebuilding common pieces from the beginning.

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	$0.00090	$0.04490
Opus 5	$0.00045	$0.02245
Sonnet 5	$0.00018	$0.00898
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00449

Security

Grade A, and why

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 8d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to shadcn — 28 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 260 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

shadcn/ui

A framework for building ui, components and design systems. Components are added as source code to the user's project via the CLI.

IMPORTANT: Run all CLI commands using the project's package runner: npx shadcn@latest, pnpm dlx shadcn@latest, or bunx --bun shadcn@latest — based on the project's packageManager. Examples below use npx shadcn@latest but substitute the correct runner for the project.

Current Project Context

!`npx shadcn@latest info --json`

The JSON above contains the project config and installed components. Use npx shadcn@latest docs <component> to get documentation and example URLs for any component.

Principles

Use existing components first. Use npx shadcn@latest search to check registries before writing custom UI. Check community registries too.
Compose, don't reinvent. Settings page = Tabs + Card + form controls. Dashboard = Sidebar + Card + Chart + Table.
Use built-in variants before custom styles. variant="outline", size="sm", etc.
Use semantic colors. bg-primary, text-muted-foreground — never raw values like bg-blue-500.

Critical Rules

These rules are always enforced. Each links to a file with Incorrect/Correct code pairs.

Styling & Tailwind → styling.md

className for layout, not styling. Never override component colors or typography.
No space-x-* or space-y-*. Use flex with gap-*. For vertical stacks, flex flex-col gap-*.
Use size-* when width and height are equal. size-10 not w-10 h-10.
Use truncate shorthand. Not overflow-hidden text-ellipsis whitespace-nowrap.
No manual dark: color overrides. Use semantic tokens (bg-background, text-muted-foreground).
Use cn() for conditional classes. Don't write manual template literal ternaries.
No manual z-index on overlay components. Dialog, Sheet, Popover, etc. handle their own stacking.

Forms & Inputs → forms.md

What ships with it

12 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.
