Test it
Using "tailwind-patterns". A developer asks how to modernize a Tailwind v3 setup.
Expected outcome:
A migration outline that recommends CSS-first theme definitions, semantic tokens, limited directive use, and full v4 adoption.
Using "tailwind-patterns". A component layout breaks when placed inside a narrow card.
Expected outcome:
A recommendation to make the card a container, use container-based breakpoints, and keep page-level breakpoints for outer layout.
Using "tailwind-patterns". A design system needs typography and color guidance.
Expected outcome:
A token plan separating raw colors, semantic values, component tokens, font stacks, and type scale usage.

Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Plan a Tailwind v4 Migration
Identify which v3 configuration habits should move to CSS-first theme definitions and modern utility patterns.
Define Design Tokens
Create a clear token structure for colors, spacing, typography, and component-specific values.
Improve Responsive Components
Choose when components should use viewport breakpoints, container queries, or reusable extracted patterns.
Try These Prompts
Explain the main Tailwind CSS v4 changes in my project and recommend which patterns to adopt first.
Review this component and suggest mobile-first Tailwind classes, container query usage, and dark mode variants.
Design a Tailwind v4 CSS-first token structure for colors, spacing, typography, and component values.
Audit this Tailwind implementation for duplicated class lists, excessive arbitrary values, weak tokens, and performance issues. Recommend fixes by priority.
Best Practices
- Start with mobile styles, then add larger breakpoint variants only where layouts need them.
- Use semantic design tokens before adding many arbitrary values.
- Prefer reusable components when long utility combinations repeat across the interface.
Avoid
- Mixing Tailwind v3 JavaScript configuration with a partial v4 CSS-first setup.
- Using inline styles or important flags to solve normal specificity problems.
- Adding template-generated class names that Tailwind cannot detect reliably.
