Use when establishing a design system — Tailwind v4 @theme tokens, class-based dark mode from a persisted theme store (CSP-safe pre-paint script), a cn() merger, and cva variant primitives; shadcn/ui is the optional component registry.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Set Up Design System

## 1. Audit current state

```bash
cat .claude/stack-profile.md 2>/dev/null || cat ~/.claude/stack-profile.md 2>/dev/null   # frontend.framework, package_manager
grep -E '"(class-variance-authority|clsx|tailwind-merge|tailwindcss|tailwind-variants)"' package.json 2>/dev/null
grep -n "@theme\|@custom-variant" src/index.css src/style.css 2>/dev/null
ls components.json 2>/dev/null   # shadcn/ui marker
```

Read `frontend.framework` (React store = Zustand, Vue = Pinia) and `package_manager` (commands use pnpm). Detect existing tokens, a variant lib, and dark-mode wiring. **Prerequisites:** Tailwind v4 installed (`scaffold-frontend-project`), `@/` alias, and `set-up-state-management` (the theme toggle is a UI-state store).

## 2. Decide what to do
- No tokens/primitives → full setup.
- Tokens present but ad-hoc class strings → add `cn()` + cva variants.
- shadcn/ui already initialized → adopt its `cn`/cva; just add the token layer + theme store.

## 3. Detect framework
React → primitives as `.tsx` with cva. Vue → primitives as SFCs using the same cva class strings. `cn()` and `@theme` are framework-agnostic.

## 4. Install
```bash

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add velimirmueller/lab-claude-skills/set-up-design-system@sha256:102a5919fb9b6331

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.0ae007b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
