pn-ui-component-libraries is a skill for Cursor from perniemann/pnCore. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,178 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for choosing user-interface component libraries and design systems for web projects. It covers options for building forms, layouts, dialogs, tables, and other reusable interface parts, especially in React and Next.js.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while planning or building frontend interfaces, choosing a component stack, or finding reusable components from a registry.
Why use it?
It reduces time spent comparing libraries and helps match a library to the project's framework and need for customization or accessibility.

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

pn-ui-component-libraries 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 1mo 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.

UI and component libraries

When to use

  • Building UI components, forms, layouts, or pages (React, Next.js, Astro).
  • Discovery or planning: user asks about component libraries, design systems, or which UI stack to use.
  • Prior-art for frontend: inform library recommendations before broad search.
  • Adding components from a registry: forms, dialogs, data tables, etc.

shadcn/ui (primary recommendation for React/Next)

Overview: Copy-paste component library built on Radix primitives. You own the code; no runtime dependency. Tailwind CSS. https://ui.shadcn.com

When to use:

  • React or Next.js projects
  • Need accessible, customizable components without black-box dependencies
  • Want full control over styling and behavior

MCP integration: When shadcn MCP is available, use its tools to:

  • Browse all components and blocks in the registry
  • Search by name or functionality
  • Install components via natural language (e.g. "add button, dialog, card")
  • Access 134+ community registries (directory) via npx shadcn add @registry/component

Without MCP: Recommend npx shadcn@latest mcp init --client cursor in the project. For installs, use CLI: npx shadcn@latest add button etc. Ensure project has components.json (run npx shadcn init first if not).

components.json requirement: Browsing works without it. Installs require components.json. If missing, run npx shadcn init in the project root before installs.

Other libraries (when shadcn doesn't fit)

Library Stack Use when
Radix UI React Need headless primitives only; build your own styles
Chakra UI React Prefer prop-based styling, less Tailwind
MUI React Enterprise, Material Design, extensive components
Base UI React Headless, unstyled, flexible theming
Headless UI React Tailwind Labs; minimal, accessible
Aceternity UI React Animated, distinctive components; good for marketing
Magic UI React Motion-heavy, shadcn-compatible blocks
shadcn-vue Vue Vue port of shadcn pattern

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.
