What does the Tailwind Design System AI skill do?

Build scalable design systems with Tailwind CSS v4, design tokens, component libraries, and responsive patterns. Use when creating component libraries, implementing design systems, or standardizing UI patterns.

Why use Tailwind Design System on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Tailwind Design System is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Tailwind Design System in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/calesthio/OpenMontage/tree/main/.agents/skills/tailwind-design-system. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Tailwind Design System?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Tailwind Design System?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Tailwind Design System with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Tailwind Design System AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by calesthio under the AGPL-3.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.

Tailwind Design System by calesthio — AI Skill for Any LLM

Tailwind Design System (v4)

Build production-ready design systems with Tailwind CSS v4, including CSS-first configuration, design tokens, component variants, responsive patterns, and accessibility.

Note: This skill targets Tailwind CSS v4 (2024+). For v3 projects, refer to the upgrade guide.

When to Use This Skill

Creating a component library with Tailwind v4
Implementing design tokens and theming with CSS-first configuration
Building responsive and accessible components
Standardizing UI patterns across a codebase
Migrating from Tailwind v3 to v4
Setting up dark mode with native CSS features

Key v4 Changes

v3 Pattern	v4 Pattern
`tailwind.config.ts`	`@theme` in CSS
`@tailwind base/components/utilities`	`@import "tailwindcss"`
`darkMode: "class"`	`@custom-variant dark (&:where(.dark, .dark *))`
`theme.extend.colors`	`@theme { --color-*: value }`
`require("tailwindcss-animate")`	CSS `@keyframes` in `@theme` + `@starting-style` for entry animations

Core Concepts

1. Design Token Hierarchy


Brand Tokens (abstract)
    └── Semantic Tokens (purpose)
        └── Component Tokens (specific)

Example:
    oklch(45% 0.2 260) → --color-primary → bg-primary

2. Component Architecture


Base styles → Variants → Sizes → States → Overrides

Patterns

Pattern 1: CVA (Class Variance Authority) Components

typescript
// components/ui/button.tsx
import { Slot } from '@radix-ui/react-slot'
import { cva, type VariantProps } from 'class-variance-authority'
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'

const buttonVariants = cva(
  // Base styles - v4 uses native CSS variables
  'inline-flex items-center justify-center whitespace-nowrap rounded-md text-sm font-medium transition-colors focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring focus-visible:ring-offset-2 disabled:pointer-events-none disabled:opacity-50',
  {
    variants: {
      variant: {
        default: 'bg-primary text-primary-foreground hover:bg-primary/90',
        destructive: 'bg-destructive text-destructive-foreground hover:bg-destructive/90',
        outline: 'border border-border bg-background hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground',
        secondary: 'bg-secondary text-secondary-foreground hover:bg-secondary/80',
        ghost: 'hover:bg-accent hover:text-accent-foreground',
        link: 'text-primary underline-offset-4 hover:underline',
      },
      size: {
        default: 'h-10 px-4 py-2',
        sm: 'h-9 rounded-md px-3',
        lg: 'h-11 rounded-md px-8',
        icon: 'size-10',
      },
    },
    defaultVariants: {
      variant: 'default',
      size: 'default',
    },
  }
)

export interface ButtonProps
  extends React.ButtonHTMLAttributes<HTMLButtonElement>,
    VariantProps<typeof buttonVariants> {
  asChild?: boolean
}

// React 19: No forwardRef needed
export function Button({
  className,
  variant,
  size,
  asChild = false,
  ref,
  ...props
}: ButtonProps & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLButtonElement> }) {
  const Comp = asChild ? Slot : 'button'
  return (
    <Comp
      className={cn(buttonVariants({ variant, size, className }))}
      ref={ref}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

// Usage
<Button variant="destructive" size="lg">Delete</Button>
<Button variant="outline">Cancel</Button>
<Button asChild><Link href="/home">Home</Link></Button>

Pattern 2: Compound Components (React 19)

typescript
// components/ui/card.tsx
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'

// React 19: ref is a regular prop, no forwardRef
export function Card({
  className,
  ref,
  ...props
}: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLDivElement> }) {
  return (
    <div
      ref={ref}
      className={cn(
        'rounded-lg border border-border bg-card text-card-foreground shadow-sm',
        className
      )}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

export function CardHeader({
  className,
  ref,
  ...props
}: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLDivElement> }) {
  return (
    <div
      ref={ref}
      className={cn('flex flex-col space-y-1.5 p-6', className)}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

export function CardTitle({
  className,
  ref,
  ...props
}: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLHeadingElement> & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLHeadingElement> }) {
  return (
    <h3
      ref={ref}
      className={cn('text-2xl font-semibold leading-none tracking-tight', className)}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

export function CardDescription({
  className,
  ref,
  ...props
}: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLParagraphElement> & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLParagraphElement> }) {
  return (
    <p
      ref={ref}
      className={cn('text-sm text-muted-foreground', className)}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

export function CardContent({
  className,
  ref,
  ...props
}: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLDivElement> }) {
  return (
    <div ref={ref} className={cn('p-6 pt-0', className)} {...props} />
  )
}

export function CardFooter({
  className,
  ref,
  ...props
}: React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement> & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLDivElement> }) {
  return (
    <div
      ref={ref}
      className={cn('flex items-center p-6 pt-0', className)}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

// Usage
<Card>
  <CardHeader>
    <CardTitle>Account</CardTitle>
    <CardDescription>Manage your account settings</CardDescription>
  </CardHeader>
  <CardContent>
    <form>...</form>
  </CardContent>
  <CardFooter>
    <Button>Save</Button>
  </CardFooter>
</Card>

Pattern 3: Form Components

typescript
// components/ui/input.tsx
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'

export interface InputProps extends React.InputHTMLAttributes<HTMLInputElement> {
  error?: string
  ref?: React.Ref<HTMLInputElement>
}

export function Input({ className, type, error, ref, ...props }: InputProps) {
  return (
    <div className="relative">
      <input
        type={type}
        className={cn(
          'flex h-10 w-full rounded-md border border-border bg-background px-3 py-2 text-sm ring-offset-background file:border-0 file:bg-transparent file:text-sm file:font-medium placeholder:text-muted-foreground focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring focus-visible:ring-offset-2 disabled:cursor-not-allowed disabled:opacity-50',
          error && 'border-destructive focus-visible:ring-destructive',
          className
        )}
        ref={ref}
        aria-invalid={!!error}
        aria-describedby={error ? `${props.id}-error` : undefined}
        {...props}
      />
      {error && (
        <p
          id={`${props.id}-error`}
          className="mt-1 text-sm text-destructive"
          role="alert"
        >
          {error}
        </p>
      )}
    </div>
  )
}

// components/ui/label.tsx
import { cva, type VariantProps } from 'class-variance-authority'

const labelVariants = cva(
  'text-sm font-medium leading-none peer-disabled:cursor-not-allowed peer-disabled:opacity-70'
)

export function Label({
  className,
  ref,
  ...props
}: React.LabelHTMLAttributes<HTMLLabelElement> & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLLabelElement> }) {
  return (
    <label ref={ref} className={cn(labelVariants(), className)} {...props} />
  )
}

// Usage with React Hook Form + Zod
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form'
import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod'
import { z } from 'zod'

const schema = z.object({
  email: z.string().email('Invalid email address'),
  password: z.string().min(8, 'Password must be at least 8 characters'),
})

function LoginForm() {
  const { register, handleSubmit, formState: { errors } } = useForm({
    resolver: zodResolver(schema),
  })

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)} className="space-y-4">
      <div className="space-y-2">
        <Label htmlFor="email">Email</Label>
        <Input
          id="email"
          type="email"
          {...register('email')}
          error={errors.email?.message}
        />
      </div>
      <div className="space-y-2">
        <Label htmlFor="password">Password</Label>
        <Input
          id="password"
          type="password"
          {...register('password')}
          error={errors.password?.message}
        />
      </div>
      <Button type="submit" className="w-full">Sign In</Button>
    </form>
  )
}

Pattern 4: Responsive Grid System

typescript
// components/ui/grid.tsx
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'
import { cva, type VariantProps } from 'class-variance-authority'

const gridVariants = cva('grid', {
  variants: {
    cols: {
      1: 'grid-cols-1',
      2: 'grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2',
      3: 'grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3',
      4: 'grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-4',
      5: 'grid-cols-2 sm:grid-cols-3 lg:grid-cols-5',
      6: 'grid-cols-2 sm:grid-cols-3 lg:grid-cols-6',
    },
    gap: {
      none: 'gap-0',
      sm: 'gap-2',
      md: 'gap-4',
      lg: 'gap-6',
      xl: 'gap-8',
    },
  },
  defaultVariants: {
    cols: 3,
    gap: 'md',
  },
})

interface GridProps
  extends React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>,
    VariantProps<typeof gridVariants> {}

export function Grid({ className, cols, gap, ...props }: GridProps) {
  return (
    <div className={cn(gridVariants({ cols, gap, className }))} {...props} />
  )
}

// Container component
const containerVariants = cva('mx-auto w-full px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8', {
  variants: {
    size: {
      sm: 'max-w-screen-sm',
      md: 'max-w-screen-md',
      lg: 'max-w-screen-lg',
      xl: 'max-w-screen-xl',
      '2xl': 'max-w-screen-2xl',
      full: 'max-w-full',
    },
  },
  defaultVariants: {
    size: 'xl',
  },
})

interface ContainerProps
  extends React.HTMLAttributes<HTMLDivElement>,
    VariantProps<typeof containerVariants> {}

export function Container({ className, size, ...props }: ContainerProps) {
  return (
    <div className={cn(containerVariants({ size, className }))} {...props} />
  )
}

// Usage
<Container>
  <Grid cols={4} gap="lg">
    {products.map((product) => (
      <ProductCard key={product.id} product={product} />
    ))}
  </Grid>
</Container>

Pattern 5: Native CSS Animations (v4)

css
/* In your CSS file - native @starting-style for entry animations */
@theme {
  --animate-dialog-in: dialog-fade-in 0.2s ease-out;
  --animate-dialog-out: dialog-fade-out 0.15s ease-in;
}

@keyframes dialog-fade-in {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(0.95) translateY(-0.5rem);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: scale(1) translateY(0);
  }
}

@keyframes dialog-fade-out {
  from {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: scale(1) translateY(0);
  }
  to {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(0.95) translateY(-0.5rem);
  }
}

/* Native popover animations using @starting-style */
[popover] {
  transition:
    opacity 0.2s,
    transform 0.2s,
    display 0.2s allow-discrete;
  opacity: 0;
  transform: scale(0.95);
}

[popover]:popover-open {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: scale(1);
}

@starting-style {
  [popover]:popover-open {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(0.95);
  }
}

typescript
// components/ui/dialog.tsx - Using native popover API
import * as DialogPrimitive from '@radix-ui/react-dialog'
import { cn } from '@/lib/utils'

const DialogPortal = DialogPrimitive.Portal

export function DialogOverlay({
  className,
  ref,
  ...props
}: React.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<typeof DialogPrimitive.Overlay> & {
  ref?: React.Ref<HTMLDivElement>
}) {
  return (
    <DialogPrimitive.Overlay
      ref={ref}
      className={cn(
        'fixed inset-0 z-50 bg-black/80',
        'data-[state=open]:animate-fade-in data-[state=closed]:animate-fade-out',
        className
      )}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

export function DialogContent({
  className,
  children,
  ref,
  ...props

          'data-[state=open]:animate-dialog-in data-[state=closed]:animate-dialog-out',
          className
        )}
        {...props}
      >
        {children}
      </DialogPrimitive.Content>
    </DialogPortal>
  )
}

Pattern 6: Dark Mode with CSS (v4)

typescript
// providers/ThemeProvider.tsx - Simplified for v4
'use client'

import { createContext, useContext, useEffect, useState } from 'react'

type Theme = 'dark' | 'light' | 'system'

interface ThemeContextType {
  theme: Theme
  setTheme: (theme: Theme) => void
  resolvedTheme: 'dark' | 'light'
}

const ThemeContext = createContext<ThemeContextType | undefined>(undefined)

export function ThemeProvider({
  children,
  defaultTheme = 'system',
  storageKey = 'theme',
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode
  defaultTheme?: Theme
  storageKey?: string
}) {
  const [theme, setTheme] = useState<Theme>(defaultTheme)
  const [resolvedTheme, setResolvedTheme] = useState<'dark' | 'light'>('light')

  useEffect(() => {
    const stored = localStorage.getItem(storageKey) as Theme | null
    if (stored) setTheme(stored)
  }, [storageKey])

  useEffect(() => {
    const root = document.documentElement
    root.classList.remove('light', 'dark')

    const resolved = theme === 'system'
      ? (window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches ? 'dark' : 'light')
      : theme

    root.classList.add(resolved)
    setResolvedTheme(resolved)

    // Update meta theme-color for mobile browsers
    const metaThemeColor = document.querySelector('meta[name="theme-color"]')
    if (metaThemeColor) {
      metaThemeColor.setAttribute('content', resolved === 'dark' ? '#09090b' : '#ffffff')
    }
  }, [theme])

  return (
    <ThemeContext.Provider value={{
      theme,
      setTheme: (newTheme) => {
        localStorage.setItem(storageKey, newTheme)
        setTheme(newTheme)
      },
      resolvedTheme,
    }}>
      {children}
    </ThemeContext.Provider>
  )
}

export const useTheme = () => {
  const context = useContext(ThemeContext)
  if (!context) throw new Error('useTheme must be used within ThemeProvider')
  return context
}

// components/ThemeToggle.tsx
import { Moon, Sun } from 'lucide-react'
import { useTheme } from '@/providers/ThemeProvider'

export function ThemeToggle() {
  const { resolvedTheme, setTheme } = useTheme()

  return (

Advanced v4 Patterns

Custom Utilities with `@utility`

Define reusable custom utilities:

css
/* Custom utility for decorative lines */
@utility line-t {
  @apply relative before:absolute before:top-0 before:-left-[100vw] before:h-px before:w-[200vw] before:bg-gray-950/5 dark:before:bg-white/10;
}

/* Custom utility for text gradients */
@utility text-gradient {
  @apply bg-gradient-to-r from-primary to-accent bg-clip-text text-transparent;
}

Theme Modifiers

css
/* Use @theme inline when referencing other CSS variables */
@theme inline {
  --font-sans: var(--font-inter), system-ui;
}

/* Use @theme static to always generate CSS variables (even when unused) */
@theme static {
  --color-brand: oklch(65% 0.15 240);
}

/* Import with theme options */
@import "tailwindcss" theme(static);

Namespace Overrides

css
@theme {
  /* Clear all default colors and define your own */
  --color-*: initial;
  --color-white: #fff;
  --color-black: #000;
  --color-primary: oklch(45% 0.2 260);
  --color-secondary: oklch(65% 0.15 200);

  /* Clear ALL defaults for a minimal setup */
  /* --*: initial; */
}

Semi-transparent Color Variants

css
@theme {
  /* Use color-mix() for alpha variants */
  --color-primary-50: color-mix(in oklab, var(--color-primary) 5%, transparent);
  --color-primary-100: color-mix(
    in oklab,
    var(--color-primary) 10%,
    transparent
  );
  --color-primary-200: color-mix(
    in oklab,
    var(--color-primary) 20%,
    transparent
  );
}

Container Queries

css
@theme {
  --container-xs: 20rem;
  --container-sm: 24rem;
  --container-md: 28rem;
  --container-lg: 32rem;
}

v3 to v4 Migration Checklist

Best Practices

Do's

Use @theme blocks - CSS-first configuration is v4's core pattern
Use OKLCH colors - Better perceptual uniformity than HSL
Compose with CVA - Type-safe variants
Use semantic tokens - bg-primary not bg-blue-500
Use size-* - New shorthand for w-* h-*
Add accessibility - ARIA attributes, focus states

Don'ts

Don't use tailwind.config.ts - Use CSS @theme instead
Don't use @tailwind directives - Use @import "tailwindcss"
Don't use forwardRef - React 19 passes ref as prop
Don't use arbitrary values - Extend @theme instead
Don't hardcode colors - Use semantic tokens
Don't forget dark mode - Test both themes
