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.

# Tailwind CSS & shadcn/ui Design System
## Overview
Expert guide for creating and managing a centralized Design System using Tailwind CSS (v4.1+) and shadcn/ui. This skill provides structured workflows for defining design tokens, configuring themes with CSS variables, and building a consistent UI component library based on shadcn/ui primitives.
**Relationship with other skills:**
- **tailwind-css-patterns** covers utility-first styling, responsive design, and general Tailwind CSS usage
- **shadcn-ui** covers individual component installation, configuration, and implementation
- **This skill** focuses on the **system-level** orchestration: design tokens, theming infrastructure, component wrapping patterns, and ensuring consistency across the entire application
## When to Use
- Setting up a new design system from scratch with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui
- Defining design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, radius, shadows) as CSS variables
- Configuring `globals.css` with a centralized theming system (light/dark mode)
- Wrapping shadcn/ui components into design system primitives with enforced constraints
- Building a token-driven component library for consistent UI

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260324.a02e282, 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.
