What it's for & howRead it ↓Collapse ↑
What it is
shadcn/ui isn't a dependency you install — it's a set of accessible React + Tailwind components you copy into your own codebase and own outright. No version lock-in, full control over the markup and styles.
When to reach for it
- You're building a web app or dashboard and want it to look good fast.
- You want components you can freely edit, not a black-box library.
- You already use React + Tailwind (pairs perfectly with the Landing Page skill).
Set it up
npx shadcn@latest init
npx shadcn@latest add button card input
The components land in your project as editable files. Give your agent the prompt above and it'll scaffold a first screen for you.
