Set up Tailwind v4 with shadcn/ui using @theme inline pattern and CSS variable architecture. Four-step pattern: CSS variables, Tailwind mapping, base styles, automatic dark mode. Prevents 8 documented errors. Use when initializing React projects with Tailwind v4, or fixing colors not working, tw-animate-css errors, @theme inline dark mode conflicts, @apply breaking, v3 migration issues.
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
> **Repo notice (Asymmetric-al/core):** This repository is **Base UI only**.
> Shared primitives come from `@base-ui/react` via the shadcn `base-maia`
> style in `packages/ui`. Ignore any Radix UI guidance below — never add
> `radix-ui`/`@radix-ui/*` imports or dependencies; composition uses Base
> UI's `render` prop, not `asChild`. See `docs/ai/rules/frontend.md`.

How to install
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/tailwind-v4-shadcn@sha256:ff5d5d802dd4ed5eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260612.9ac3f47, 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.
