What This Skill Does

A skill for working with shadcn/ui, a set of copy-paste React components built on Radix UI and Tailwind CSS. Components are added directly to your codebase rather than installed as a dependency, so you own and modify the source. Covers component discovery, installation via CLI or manual copy, theming, and composition patterns. Rather than reading shadcn docs to find the right CLI flags, peer dependencies, and copy-paste patterns each time, this skill provides component metadata and registry access directly in your editor workflow.
