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.

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 | $0.04499 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00045 | $0.02250 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00900 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00450 |
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 4d 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to shadcn — 25 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 — 261 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, orbunx --bun shadcn@latest— based on the project'spackageManager. Examples below usenpx shadcn@latestbut 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 searchto 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 likebg-blue-500.
Critical Rules
These rules are always enforced. Each links to a file with Incorrect/Correct code pairs.
Styling & Tailwind → styling.md
classNamefor layout, not styling. Never override component colors or typography.- No
space-x-*orspace-y-*. Useflexwithgap-*. For vertical stacks,flex flex-col gap-*. - Use
size-*when width and height are equal.size-10notw-10 h-10. - Use
truncateshorthand. Notoverflow-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-indexon 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.
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 willdady/platypus (72 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 4,499 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to shadcn, differing in 25 lines, and is treated as a copy.

Constrains UI work to the shared design token vocabulary. Use when creating or modifying any component — new CSS values local to one screen are forbidden; every visual decision comes from the existing tokens (spacing, radii, colors, type scale) in globals.css.

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications (examples include websites, landing pages, dashboards, React components, HTML/CSS layouts, or when styling/beautifying any web UI).…
