A reference for Tailwind CSS version 4, a CSS framework used to style web pages with utility classes. It also explains how to migrate projects from version 3 to version 4.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when upgrading Tailwind, writing v4 imports and custom utilities, defining theme variables, loading an older configuration, or checking v3-to-v4 changes.
Why use it?
It helps avoid using older syntax or changed utility names when working with Tailwind v4.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is @config "../../tailwind.config.js";.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nweii/agent-stuff

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

use-tailwind-v4 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 5d 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.

Tailwind CSS v4

v4 Syntax At a Glance

Imports and Setup

/* v4 import (replaces @tailwind directives) */
@import "tailwindcss";

@utility tab-4 {

font-family: var(--font-sans);

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.
