# shadcn/ui

shadcn's official agent skill, distributed via skills.sh. Lives inside the main shadcn-ui/ui monorepo at /skills/shadcn/. Gives AI agents project-aware context: when to invoke `npx shadcn@latest add`, which preset/base to use (Radix vs Base UI), how the registry works for custom component distribution, and Tailwind v4 specifics. Updates whenever the CLI ships a major version.
