## Capabilities

- Shows how to initialize shadcn/ui and add common components in a Next.js project.
- Provides examples for buttons, forms, dialogs, alert dialogs, cards, sidebars, tables, and toast notifications.
- Demonstrates react-hook-form with Zod validation for accessible form workflows.
- Includes dark mode setup using next-themes and shadcn/ui theme conventions.
- Documents a custom TaskFlow visual theme with Tailwind variables, typography, badges, and layout patterns.

## Use Cases

- Build a Product Form: Create a validated task, profile, or settings form with shadcn/ui fields and Zod rules.
- Standardize Dashboard Components: Apply consistent cards, tables, sidebars, dialogs, badges, and toast patterns across a Next.js dashboard.
- Create a Themed Interface System: Adapt Tailwind variables, typography, status colors, and dark mode behavior for a branded application.

## Prompt Templates

### Add Basic shadcn/ui Components

```
Use this skill to add shadcn/ui buttons, cards, and form inputs to my Next.js page. Keep the result accessible and simple.
```

### Create a Validated Form

```
Use this skill to create a shadcn/ui form with react-hook-form and Zod validation for these fields: [list fields]. Include loading and error states.
```

### Design a Dashboard Layout

```
Use this skill to build a dashboard layout with a sidebar, data table, action menu, status badges, and confirmation dialog for destructive actions.
```

### Apply a Custom Theme System

```
Use this skill to adapt the TaskFlow theme patterns into my Next.js app. Define dark mode variables, typography, badge variants, and responsive dashboard sections.
```

## Limitations

- The guidance is focused on React and Next.js projects, not other frontend frameworks.
- Examples may need updates when shadcn/ui, Tailwind, or Next.js APIs change.
- The skill does not generate a complete application architecture by itself.
- Package installation commands should be reviewed before running in production repositories.

## Best Practices

- Install only the shadcn/ui components needed for the current workflow.
- Keep validation schemas close to forms and reuse shared types where possible.
- Review generated component code for accessibility, keyboard behavior, and responsive layout.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not paste every example into an application without removing unused components.
- Do not run package installation commands without reviewing package names and versions.
- Do not override shadcn/ui defaults in ways that weaken focus states or semantic structure.

## Security Audit

- - Safe to publish: true
- - Audited at: 2026-06-28T11:31:37.144\+00:00
- - Summary: Static analysis reported many high-risk patterns, but review found the weak-crypto and Ruby backtick alerts are false positives from markdown code fences, color tokens, and UI examples. The skill does contain legitimate package installation commands and one Google Fonts import, so publication is reasonable with a supply-chain and external-network warning. No prompt-injection text, credential exfiltration, destructive command, or malicious intent was found.
