shadcn

shadcn is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MichelKerkmeester/skilled-agent-harness_spec-driven-loops. It costs 90 tokens per session (4,499 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of shadcn, MIT.

A guide and workflow for using shadcn/ui components in a project. shadcn/ui provides interface components as source code that developers can add, customise, and combine.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add, search, fix, debug, style, and combine shadcn/ui components, registries, presets, and projects containing a components.json file.
Why use it?
It helps developers find existing components and compose them instead of rebuilding common interface pieces. It also provides project context, documentation, and styling guidance.

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 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 7d 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

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

  1. Use existing components first. Use npx shadcn@latest search to check registries before writing custom UI. Check community registries too.
  2. Compose, don't reinvent. Settings page = Tabs + Card + form controls. Dashboard = Sidebar + Card + Chart + Table.
  3. Use built-in variants before custom styles. variant="outline", size="sm", etc.
  4. 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

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.
