Build and Maintain shadcn Interfaces
Shadcn projects require precise component, registry, preset, and styling decisions. This skill provides project-aware workflows for building and updating consistent interfaces.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "shadcn" from https://skillstore.io/skills/shadcn-ui-shadcn.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/shadcn-ui-shadcn/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "shadcn". Add a settings dialog to this project.
Expected outcome:
- Project context identifies the framework, aliases, base library, and package manager.
- The dialog is previewed before installation.
- The final composition includes accessible title and description elements.
Using "shadcn". Update the locally modified button component.
Expected outcome:
- The update report separates upstream changes from local modifications.
- Compatible changes are merged without an unconditional overwrite.
- Remaining conflicts are listed for user review.
Using "shadcn". Switch only the project theme preset.
Expected outcome:
The preset is inspected first, then only the theme is applied while components and fonts remain unchanged.
Security Audit
SafeReview confirmed one high-severity risk: the skill automatically executes an unpinned `shadcn@latest` package during context injection. The other 131 findings are documentation syntax, example URLs, accessibility text, or relative links without dangerous behavior.
Capability review items (1)
These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

Try These Prompts
Inspect this shadcn project, add a dialog component, and show which files changed.
Create an accessible account form using installed shadcn components and the project styling conventions.
Compare the installed button with upstream, preserve local changes, and apply only compatible updates.
Review this registry structure, correct invalid includes and dependencies, then define a verification workflow.
Best Practices
- Inspect project context before selecting components or package commands.
- Use dry runs and diffs before updating existing source files.
- Review every third-party registry item before installation.
Avoid
- Do not overwrite locally modified components without explicit approval.
- Do not guess a registry when the user has not selected one.
- Do not hardcode aliases, icon libraries, raw colors, or framework assumptions.
