A toolkit for installing and adapting shadcn/ui interface components as source code that belongs to your project. It covers component setup, themes, custom registries, Tailwind CSS, and projects containing multiple packages.

Use it to add buttons, cards, dialogs, and other UI components, configure themes, and adapt them to an existing frontend or monorepo (a repository containing multiple related projects).

It helps you add consistent interface building blocks while keeping the code available for direct customization. It also reduces configuration mistakes by checking the project before changes are made.

shadcn — Skill for Claude Code by tdimino

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add tdimino/claude-code-minoan --skill shadcn

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tdimino/claude-code-minoan

Made for: Claude Code.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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	$0.00085	$0.01049
Opus 5	$0.00043	$0.00524
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00210
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00105

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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/audit-theme.sh, scripts/diff-all.sh, scripts/project-state.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Install, customize, and compose shadcn/ui components with design-system awareness. shadcn is a code distribution system — components are source files you own, not packages.

Workflow

Every shadcn interaction follows four steps: Orient, Install, Refine, Verify.

1. Orient

Read project state before any CLI operation. Run npx shadcn@latest info to get framework, installed components, aliases, icon library, and base library. Read components.json directly for theme config. Never guess configuration.

2. Install

Add components via CLI, never by copying from docs manually.

npx shadcn@latest add button card dialog    # Multiple at once
npx shadcn@latest add @namespace/component  # From custom registry
npx shadcn@latest add --dry-run button      # Preview before writing

Before re-adding an existing component, run npx shadcn@latest diff <name> to see upstream changes. Commit local customizations first — add overwrites files.

3. Refine

This is where craft lives. After every add, audit the component against the project's design system:

Typography: Does it use the project's font variables and scale? Replace any hardcoded font sizes.
Color tokens: Does it reference the project's CSS custom properties? Convert any raw color values to semantic tokens.
Spacing rhythm: Does it follow the project's spacing scale? Harmonize padding and margins.
Border radius: Does it use --radius from the theme? Shadcn sets this globally.
Animation: Does it use tw-animate-css classes, not tailwindcss-animate?
Composition: Create wrapper components that compose shadcn primitives. Edit base components only for structural changes.

When minoan-frontend-design is active, translate its creative direction into shadcn theme variables and component customizations.

4. Verify

Build the project to catch type errors. Visually inspect the component in context. Check dark mode. Check mobile.

Tailwind v4 Contract

shadcn v4 uses OKLCH color space with @theme inline — not HSL, not tailwind.config.ts.

What ships with it

11 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.

shadcn is a skill published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 1,049 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
