+description: Manages shadcn components and projects — adding, searching, fixing, debugging, styling, and composing UI. Provides project context, component docs, and usage examples. Applies when working with shadcn/ui, component registries, presets, --preset codes, or any project with a components.json file. Also triggers for "shadcn init", "create an app with --preset", or "switch to --preset".

+
+# shadcn/ui
+
+A framework for building ui, components and design systems. Components are added as source code to the user's project via the CLI.
+
+> **IMPORTANT:** Run all CLI commands using the project's package runner: `npx shadcn@latest`, `pnpm dlx shadcn@latest`, or `bunx --bun shadcn@latest` — based on the project's `packageManager`. Examples below use `npx shadcn@latest` but substitute the correct runner for the project.
+
+## Current Project Context
+
+```json
+!`npx shadcn@latest info --json`
+```
+
+The JSON above contains the project config and installed components. Use `npx shadcn@latest docs <component>` to get documentation and example URLs for any component.
+
+## Principles
+
+1. **Use existing components first.** Use `npx shadcn@latest search` to check registries before writing custom UI. Check community registries too.
+2. **Compose, don't reinvent.** Settings page = Tabs + Card + form controls. Dashboard = Sidebar + Card + Chart + Table.
+3. **Use built-in variants before custom styles.** `variant="outline"`, `size="sm"`, etc.
+4. **Use semantic colors.** `bg-primary`, `text-muted-foreground` — never raw values like `bg-blue-500`.
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+These rules are **always enforced**. Each links to a file with Incorrect/Correct code pairs.
+
+### Styling & Tailwind → [styling.md](./rules/styling.md)
+
+- **`className` for layout, not styling.** Never override component colors or typography.
+- **No `space-x-*` or `space-y-*`.** Use `flex` with `gap-*`. For vertical stacks, `flex flex-col gap-*`.
+- **Use `size-*` when width and height are equal.** `size-10` not `w-10 h-10`.
+- **Use `truncate` shorthand.** Not `overflow-hidden text-ellipsis whitespace-nowrap`.
+- **No manual `dark:` color overrides.** Use semantic tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`).
+- **Use `cn()` for conditional classes.** Don't write manual template literal ternaries.
+- **No manual `z-index` on overlay components.** Dialog, Sheet, Popover, etc. handle their own stacking.
+
+### Forms & Inputs → [forms.md](./rules/forms.md)
+
+- **Forms use `FieldGroup` + `Field`.** Never use raw `div` with `space-y-*` or `grid gap-*` for form layout.
+- **`InputGroup` uses `InputGroupInput`/`InputGroupTextarea`.** Never raw `Input`/`Textarea` inside `InputGroup`.
+- **Buttons inside inputs use `InputGroup` + `InputGroupAddon`.**
+- **Option sets (2–7 choices) use `ToggleGroup`.** Don't loop `Button` with manual active state.
+- **`FieldSet` + `FieldLegend` for grouping related checkboxes/radios.** Don't use a `div` with a heading.
+- **Field validation uses `data-invalid` + `aria-invalid`.** `data-invalid` on `Field`, `aria-invalid` on the control. For disabled: `data-disabled` on `Field`, `disabled` on the control.
+
+### Component Structure → [composition.md](./rules/composition.md)
+
+- **Items always inside their Group.** `SelectItem` → `SelectGroup`. `DropdownMenuItem` → `DropdownMenuGroup`. `CommandItem` → `CommandGroup`.
+- **Use `asChild` (radix) or `render` (base) for custom triggers.** Check `base` field from `npx shadcn@latest info`. → [base-vs-radix.md](./rules/base-vs-radix.md)
+- **Dialog, Sheet, and Drawer always need a Title.** `DialogTitle`, `SheetTitle`, `DrawerTitle` required for accessibility. Use `className="sr-only"` if visually hidden.
+- **Use full Card composition.** `CardHeader`/`CardTitle`/`CardDescription`/`CardContent`/`CardFooter`. Don't dump everything in `CardContent`.
+- **Button has no `isPending`/`isLoading`.** Compose with `Spinner` + `data-icon` + `disabled`.
+- **`TabsTrigger` must be inside `TabsList`.** Never render triggers directly in `Tabs`.
+- **`Avatar` always needs `AvatarFallback`.** For when the image fails to load.
+
+### Use Components, Not Custom Markup → [composition.md](./rules/composition.md)
+
+- **Use existing components before custom markup.** Check if a component exists before writing a styled `div`.
+- **Callouts use `Alert`.** Don't build custom styled divs.
+- **Empty states use `Empty`.** Don't build custom empty state markup.
+- **Toast via `sonner`.** Use `toast()` from `sonner`.
+- **Use `Separator`** instead of `<hr>` or `<div className="border-t">`.
+- **Use `Skeleton`** for loading placeholders. No custom `animate-pulse` divs.
+- **Use `Badge`** instead of custom styled spans.
+
+### Icons → [icons.md](./rules/icons.md)
+
+- **Icons in `Button` use `data-icon`.** `data-icon="inline-start"` or `data-icon="inline-end"` on the icon.
+- **No sizing classes on icons inside components.** Components handle icon sizing via CSS. No `size-4` or `w-4 h-4`.
+- **Pass icons as objects, not string keys.** `icon={CheckIcon}`, not a string lookup.
+
+### CLI
+
+- **Never decode or fetch preset codes manually.** Pass them directly to `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code>`.
+
+## Key Patterns
+
+These are the most common patterns that differentiate correct shadcn/ui code. For edge cases, see the linked rule files above.
+
+```tsx
+// Form layout: FieldGroup + Field, not div + Label.
+<FieldGroup>
+  <Field>
+    <FieldLabel htmlFor="email">Email</FieldLabel>
+    <Input id="email" />
+  </Field>
+</FieldGroup>
+
+// Validation: data-invalid on Field, aria-invalid on the control.
+<Field data-invalid>
+  <FieldLabel>Email</FieldLabel>
+  <Input aria-invalid />
+  <FieldDescription>Invalid email.</FieldDescription>
+</Field>
+
+// Icons in buttons: data-icon, no sizing classes.
+<Button>
+  <SearchIcon data-icon="inline-start" />
+  Search
+</Button>
+
+// Spacing: gap-*, not space-y-*.
+<div className="flex flex-col gap-4">  // correct
+<div className="space-y-4">           // wrong
+
+// Equal dimensions: size-*, not w-* h-*.
+<Avatar className="size-10">   // correct
+<Avatar className="w-10 h-10"> // wrong
+
+// Status colors: Badge variants or semantic tokens, not raw colors.
+<Badge variant="secondary">+20.1%</Badge>    // correct
+<span className="text-emerald-600">+20.1%</span> // wrong
+```

+| Data display               | `Table`, `Card`, `Badge`, `Avatar`                                                                  |
+| Navigation                 | `Sidebar`, `NavigationMenu`, `Breadcrumb`, `Tabs`, `Pagination`                                     |
+| Overlays                   | `Dialog` (modal), `Sheet` (side panel), `Drawer` (bottom sheet), `AlertDialog` (confirmation)       |
+| Feedback                   | `sonner` (toast), `Alert`, `Progress`, `Skeleton`, `Spinner`                                        |
+| Command palette            | `Command` inside `Dialog`                                                                           |
+| Charts                     | `Chart` (wraps Recharts)                                                                            |
+| Layout                     | `Card`, `Separator`, `Resizable`, `ScrollArea`, `Accordion`, `Collapsible`                          |

+
+## Key Fields
+
+The injected project context contains these key fields:
+
+- **`aliases`** → use the actual alias prefix for imports (e.g. `@/`, `~/`), never hardcode.
+- **`isRSC`** → when `true`, components using `useState`, `useEffect`, event handlers, or browser APIs need `"use client"` at the top of the file. Always reference this field when advising on the directive.
+- **`tailwindVersion`** → `"v4"` uses `@theme inline` blocks; `"v3"` uses `tailwind.config.js`.
+- **`tailwindCssFile`** → the global CSS file where custom CSS variables are defined. Always edit this file, never create a new one.
+- **`style`** → component visual treatment (e.g. `nova`, `vega`).
+- **`base`** → primitive library (`radix` or `base`). Affects component APIs and available props.
+- **`iconLibrary`** → determines icon imports. Use `lucide-react` for `lucide`, `@tabler/icons-react` for `tabler`, etc. Never assume `lucide-react`.
+- **`resolvedPaths`** → exact file-system destinations for components, utils, hooks, etc.
+- **`framework`** → routing and file conventions (e.g. Next.js App Router vs Vite SPA).
+- **`packageManager`** → use this for any non-shadcn dependency installs (e.g. `pnpm add date-fns` vs `npm install date-fns`).
+
+See [cli.md — `info` command](./cli.md) for the full field reference.
+
+## Component Docs, Examples, and Usage
+
+Run `npx shadcn@latest docs <component>` to get the URLs for a component's documentation, examples, and API reference. Fetch these URLs to get the actual content.
+
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest docs button dialog select
+```
+
+**When creating, fixing, debugging, or using a component, always run `npx shadcn@latest docs` and fetch the URLs first.** This ensures you're working with the correct API and usage patterns rather than guessing.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Get project context** — already injected above. Run `npx shadcn@latest info` again if you need to refresh.
+2. **Check installed components first** — before running `add`, always check the `components` list from project context or list the `resolvedPaths.ui` directory. Don't import components that haven't been added, and don't re-add ones already installed.
+3. **Find components** — `npx shadcn@latest search`.
+4. **Get docs and examples** — run `npx shadcn@latest docs <component>` to get URLs, then fetch them. Use `npx shadcn@latest view` to browse registry items you haven't installed. To preview changes to installed components, use `npx shadcn@latest add --diff`.
+5. **Install or update** — `npx shadcn@latest add`. When updating existing components, use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to preview changes first (see [Updating Components](#updating-components) below).
+6. **Fix imports in third-party components** — After adding components from community registries (e.g. `@bundui`, `@magicui`), check the added non-UI files for hardcoded import paths like `@/components/ui/...`. These won't match the project's actual aliases. Use `npx shadcn@latest info` to get the correct `ui` alias (e.g. `@workspace/ui/components`) and rewrite the imports accordingly. The CLI rewrites imports for its own UI files, but third-party registry components may use default paths that don't match the project.
+7. **Review added components** — After adding a component or block from any registry, **always read the added files and verify they are correct**. Check for missing sub-components (e.g. `SelectItem` without `SelectGroup`), missing imports, incorrect composition, or violations of the [Critical Rules](#critical-rules). Also replace any icon imports with the project's `iconLibrary` from the project context (e.g. if the registry item uses `lucide-react` but the project uses `hugeicons`, swap the imports and icon names accordingly). Fix all issues before moving on.
+8. **Registry must be explicit** — When the user asks to add a block or component, **do not guess the registry**. If no registry is specified (e.g. user says "add a login block" without specifying `@shadcn`, `@tailark`, etc.), ask which registry to use. Never default to a registry on behalf of the user.
+9. **Switching presets** — Ask the user first: **reinstall**, **merge**, or **skip**?
+   - **Reinstall**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --reinstall`. Overwrites all components.
+   - **Merge**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`, then run `npx shadcn@latest info` to list installed components, then for each installed component use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to [smart merge](#updating-components) it individually.
+   - **Skip**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`. Only updates config and CSS, leaves components as-is.
+   - **Important**: Always run preset commands inside the user's project directory. The CLI automatically preserves the current base (`base` vs `radix`) from `components.json`. If you must use a scratch/temp directory (e.g. for `--dry-run` comparisons), pass `--base <current-base>` explicitly — preset codes do not encode the base.
+
+## Updating Components
+
+When the user asks to update a component from upstream while keeping their local changes, use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to intelligently merge. **NEVER fetch raw files from GitHub manually — always use the CLI.**
+
+1. Run `npx shadcn@latest add <component> --dry-run` to see all files that would be affected.
+2. For each file, run `npx shadcn@latest add <component> --diff <file>` to see what changed upstream vs local.
+3. Decide per file based on the diff:
+   - No local changes → safe to overwrite.
+   - Has local changes → read the local file, analyze the diff, and apply upstream updates while preserving local modifications.
+   - User says "just update everything" → use `--overwrite`, but confirm first.
+4. **Never use `--overwrite` without the user's explicit approval.**
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Create a new project.
+npx shadcn@latest init --name my-app --preset base-nova
+npx shadcn@latest init --name my-app --preset a2r6bw --template vite
+
+# Create a monorepo project.
+npx shadcn@latest init --name my-app --preset base-nova --monorepo
+npx shadcn@latest init --name my-app --preset base-nova --template next --monorepo
+
+# Initialize existing project.
+npx shadcn@latest init --preset base-nova
+npx shadcn@latest init --defaults  # shortcut: --template=next --preset=base-nova
+
+# Add components.
+npx shadcn@latest add button card dialog
+npx shadcn@latest add @magicui/shimmer-button
+npx shadcn@latest add --all
+
+# Preview changes before adding/updating.
+npx shadcn@latest add button --dry-run
+npx shadcn@latest add button --diff button.tsx
+npx shadcn@latest add @acme/form --view button.tsx
+
+# Search registries.
+npx shadcn@latest search @shadcn -q "sidebar"
+npx shadcn@latest search @tailark -q "stats"
+
+# Get component docs and example URLs.
+npx shadcn@latest docs button dialog select
+
+# View registry item details (for items not yet installed).
+npx shadcn@latest view @shadcn/button
+```
+
+**Named presets:** `base-nova`, `radix-nova`
+**Templates:** `next`, `vite`, `start`, `react-router`, `astro` (all support `--monorepo`) and `laravel` (not supported for monorepo)
+**Preset codes:** Base62 strings starting with `a` (e.g. `a2r6bw`), from [ui.shadcn.com](https://ui.shadcn.com).

+# shadcn CLI Reference
+
+Configuration is read from `components.json`.
+
+> **IMPORTANT:** Always run commands using the project's package runner: `npx shadcn@latest`, `pnpm dlx shadcn@latest`, or `bunx --bun shadcn@latest`. Check `packageManager` from project context to choose the right one. Examples below use `npx shadcn@latest` but substitute the correct runner for the project.
+
+> **IMPORTANT:** Only use the flags documented below. Do not invent or guess flags — if a flag isn't listed here, it doesn't exist. The CLI auto-detects the package manager from the project's lockfile; there is no `--package-manager` flag.

+| `--silent`      | `-s`  | Mute output                                                                                                          | `false` |
+| `--dry-run`     |       | Preview all changes without writing files                                                                            | `false` |
+| `--diff [path]` |       | Show diffs. Without a path, shows the first 5 files. With a path, shows that file only (implies `--dry-run`)         | —       |
+| `--view [path]` |       | Show file contents. Without a path, shows the first 5 files. With a path, shows that file only (implies `--dry-run`) | —       |
+
+#### Dry-Run Mode
+
+Use `--dry-run` to preview what `add` would do without writing any files. `--diff` and `--view` both imply `--dry-run`.
+
+```bash
+# Preview all changes.
+npx shadcn@latest add button --dry-run
+
+# Show diffs for all files (top 5).
+npx shadcn@latest add button --diff
+
+# Show the diff for a specific file.
+npx shadcn@latest add button --diff button.tsx
+
+# Show contents for all files (top 5).
+npx shadcn@latest add button --view
+
+# Show the full content of a specific file.
+npx shadcn@latest add button --view button.tsx
+
+# Works with URLs too.
+npx shadcn@latest add https://api.npoint.io/abc123 --dry-run
+
+# CSS diffs.
+npx shadcn@latest add button --diff globals.css
+```
+
+**When to use dry-run:**
+
+- When the user asks "what files will this add?" or "what will this change?" — use `--dry-run`.
+- Before overwriting existing components — use `--diff` to preview the changes first.
+- When the user wants to inspect component source code without installing — use `--view`.
+- When checking what CSS changes would be made to `globals.css` — use `--diff globals.css`.
+- When the user asks to review or audit third-party registry code before installing — use `--view` to inspect the source.
+
+> **`npx shadcn@latest add --dry-run` vs `npx shadcn@latest view`:** Prefer `npx shadcn@latest add --dry-run/--diff/--view` over `npx shadcn@latest view` when the user wants to preview changes to their project. `npx shadcn@latest view` only shows raw registry metadata. `npx shadcn@latest add --dry-run` shows exactly what would happen in the user's project: resolved file paths, diffs against existing files, and CSS updates. Use `npx shadcn@latest view` only when the user wants to browse registry info without a project context.

+## Templates
+
+| Value          | Framework      | Monorepo support |
+| -------------- | -------------- | ---------------- |
+| `next`         | Next.js        | Yes              |
+| `vite`         | Vite           | Yes              |
+| `start`        | TanStack Start | Yes              |
+| `react-router` | React Router   | Yes              |
+| `astro`        | Astro          | Yes              |
+| `laravel`      | Laravel        | No               |
+
+All templates support monorepo scaffolding via the `--monorepo` flag. When passed, the CLI uses a monorepo-specific template directory (e.g. `next-monorepo`, `vite-monorepo`). When neither `--monorepo` nor `--no-monorepo` is passed, the CLI prompts interactively. Laravel does not support monorepo scaffolding.

+
+## Presets
+
+Three ways to specify a preset via `--preset`:
+
+1. **Named:** `--preset base-nova` or `--preset radix-nova`
+2. **Code:** `--preset a2r6bw` (base62 string, starts with lowercase `a`)
+3. **URL:** `--preset "https://ui.shadcn.com/init?base=radix&style=nova&..."`
+
+> **IMPORTANT:** Never try to decode, fetch, or resolve preset codes manually. Preset codes are opaque — pass them directly to `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code>` and let the CLI handle resolution.
+
+## Switching Presets
+
+Ask the user first: **reinstall**, **merge**, or **skip** existing components?
+
+- **Re-install** → `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --reinstall`. Overwrites all component files with the new preset styles. Use when the user hasn't customized components.
+- **Merge** → `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`, then run `npx shadcn@latest info` to get the list of installed components and use the [smart merge workflow](./SKILL.md#updating-components) to update them one by one, preserving local changes. Use when the user has customized components.
+- **Skip** → `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`. Only updates config and CSS variables, leaves existing components as-is.
+
+Always run preset commands inside the user's project directory. The CLI automatically preserves the current base (`base` vs `radix`) from `components.json`. If you must use a scratch/temp directory (e.g. for `--dry-run` comparisons), pass `--base <current-base>` explicitly — preset codes do not encode the base.
