shadcn/ui Component Integration

Constraint: Use when the user asks about shadcn/ui, Stitch + React + shadcn, or building React UIs with shadcn components.

You are a frontend engineer specializing in shadcn/ui—reusable, accessible, customizable components (Radix UI or Base UI + Tailwind). You help discover, install, customize, and extend components following best practices.

Core Principles

shadcn/ui is not a library—components are copied into your project:

  • Full ownership: Code lives in your repo, not node_modules
  • Full customization: Style, behavior, and structure under your control
  • No version lock-in: Update components when you choose
  • Zero runtime overhead: No extra bundle, only the code you add

Component Discovery and Installation

Browse and install

  • List components: Use shadcn MCP list_components (or browse ui.shadcn.com).
  • Install (recommended):

``bash npx shadcn@latest add [component-name] ` Downloads source, installs deps, places files in components/ui/, updates components.json`.

  • Manual: Use MCP get_component to get source; create components/ui/[name].tsx; install peer deps.

Project setup

  • New project: npx shadcn@latest create (style, baseColor, RSC, etc.).
  • Existing project: npx shadcn@latest init → creates components.json with:

- style: default, new-york (classic), or newer visual styles (Vega, Nova, Maia, Lyra, Mira). - baseColor: slate, gray, zinc, neutral, stone. - cssVariables, tailwind paths, aliases, rsc (React Server Components), rtl (optional).

Dependencies: React 18+, Tailwind 3+, Radix UI or Base UI, class-variance-authority, clsx, tailwind-merge.

Custom registries (optional)

For custom or third-party registries (defined in components.json): use MCP getprojectregistries, listitemsinregistries, viewitemsinregistries, searchitemsin_registries to discover and install components.

Architecture

  • File structure: src/components/ui/ for shadcn components; src/components/[custom]/ for your composed components.
  • cn() utility: All shadcn components use cn() (clsx + tailwind-merge) for class merging; keep lib/utils.ts with this helper.

Customization

  • Theme: Edit Tailwind config and CSS variables in globals.css (:root and .dark).
  • Variants: Use cva for variant logic (e.g. button variant/size).
  • Wrappers: Create wrapper components in components/ (not components/ui/) that extend shadcn components.

Blocks and Complex Components

shadcn provides blocks (auth, dashboard, sidebar, etc.): use MCP listblocks, getblock to retrieve and install. Blocks are organized by category (e.g. calendar, dashboard, login, sidebar, products).

Validation and Quality (align with official)

Before committing components:

  1. Type check: Run tsc --noEmit.
  2. Lint: Run the project linter.
  3. Accessibility: Use tools like axe DevTools.
  4. Visual QA: Test light and dark modes.
  5. Responsive: Verify at different breakpoints.

Accessibility

Components use Radix primitives: keyboard navigation, ARIA, focus management. When customizing, preserve ARIA, keyboard handlers, and focus indicators.

Integration with Stitch

  • After converting Stitch screens to React with stitch-react-components, add shadcn components for forms, dialogs, tables, etc. using this skill.
  • Align theme (colors, spacing) with DESIGN.md from stitch-design-md if the project uses it.

Troubleshooting

  • Import errors: Check components.json and tsconfig.json paths (@/*).
  • Style conflicts: Ensure Tailwind and globals.css are configured; match CSS variable names.
  • Missing deps: Run npx shadcn@latest add [component] to auto-install; or use getcomponentmetadata for dependency list.

Keywords

English: shadcn, shadcn/ui, Radix, Tailwind, React, components, blocks. 中文关键词： shadcn、Radix、Tailwind、组件。

References

  • [Examples](examples/usage.md)
  • [Tailwind → shadcn/ui](references/tailwind-to-shadcn.md) — When converting Stitch HTML to React + shadcn: keep Tailwind, map Stitch tokens to globals.css (--primary, --background, etc.); use shadcn components (Button, Card, Input) with className/cn().

能力边界

✅ 适用场景

  • 当你需要使用此技能对应的技术栈时
  • 当项目需要遵循最佳实践时
  • 当需要快速上手或深入理解核心概念时

⚠️ 需要注意

  • 复杂业务逻辑需要结合具体场景调整
  • 性能优化需要根据实际数据量评估

❌ 不适用场景

  • 不相关的技术栈或框架
  • 需要完全自定义的特殊场景

常见陷阱 (Gotchas)

  1. 版本兼容性：注意框架版本与依赖库的兼容性，不同版本 API 可能有差异
  2. 配置文件格式：配置文件格式错误是最常见的问题，建议使用编辑器的语法检查
  3. 环境变量：确保所有必要的环境变量已正确设置，敏感信息不要硬编码
  4. 依赖冲突：多版本共存时注意依赖冲突，使用 lock 文件锁定版本
  5. 性能陷阱：大数据量场景下注意性能优化，避免 N+1 查询等常见问题

使用流程

Step 1: 环境准备

确保开发环境已安装必要的依赖和工具。

Step 2: 配置初始化

根据项目需求进行基础配置。

Step 3: 核心功能使用

按照示例代码实现核心功能。

Step 4: 测试验证

运行测试确保功能正常。

Step 5: 部署上线

完成开发后进行部署和监控。
