# Build shadcn/ui React Interfaces

Teams often need consistent React components without building every pattern from scratch. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through shadcn/ui setup, component use, forms, themes, and registry patterns.

## Capabilities

- Explains initial shadcn/ui setup for new and existing React projects.
- Shows how to install and compose common UI components such as buttons, forms, dialogs, tables, and sheets.
- Guides form implementation with React Hook Form and Zod validation.
- Documents Tailwind CSS theming, CSS variables, and dark mode patterns.
- Covers registry item structure, custom registries, and component installation workflows.
- Provides Next.js integration guidance for client components and app layouts.

## Use Cases

- Set Up a New Product UI: Use the setup and component guidance to start a Next.js interface with accessible shadcn/ui building blocks.
- Standardize Team Components: Apply consistent component, theme, and registry patterns across an internal design system.
- Build Validated Forms Faster: Follow the form patterns to combine inputs, validation, messages, and submission states in React.

## Prompt Templates

### Install shadcn/ui

```
Use the shadcn-ui skill to guide setup for my existing project. Identify needed packages, initialization steps, and the safest order to add the first components.
```

### Create a Component Screen

```
Use the shadcn-ui skill to design a dashboard screen with cards, table rows, filters, and dialogs. Follow accessible component composition patterns.
```

### Build a Validated Form

```
Use the shadcn-ui skill to plan a validated form with React Hook Form and Zod. Include fields, error states, submission states, and user feedback.
```

### Review a Registry Workflow

```
Use the shadcn-ui skill to review a custom registry workflow. Check component targets, remote sources, dependency impact, and any files written outside the project.
```

## Limitations

- It is a reference skill, not an automated visual design system generator.
- Examples may require updates for new shadcn/ui or Tailwind CSS releases.
- Remote registry examples require users to verify source trust before installation.
- It does not test generated components inside the target application.

## Best Practices

- Review generated component files before committing them to the project.
- Prefer accessible Radix-based primitives and keep labels, focus states, and keyboard flows intact.
- Verify third-party registry URLs and target paths before running installation commands.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not install remote registry items from unknown sources without reviewing their contents.
- Do not remove accessibility attributes from copied components to simplify markup.
- Do not copy placeholder authentication examples into production without real validation.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-05T15:36:15.885\+00:00
- Summary: Static analysis produced many alerts because the skill is documentation-heavy and uses Markdown code fences, schema URLs, and example CLI commands. Most pattern matches are false positives, but the skill should improve trust guidance for remote registries and avoid insecure authentication placeholders.
