Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
4 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Lombiq on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Tailwind 4 Docs AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Lombiq/Tailwind-Agent-Skills.git /tmp/Tailwind-Agent-Skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/Tailwind-Agent-Skills/skills/tailwind-4-docs .claude/skills/tailwind-4-docs

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Tailwind 4 Docs in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Tailwind 4 Docs on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Tailwind 4 Docs is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Tailwind 4 Docs

Overview

Use this skill to navigate a locally synced Tailwind CSS v4 documentation snapshot and answer development, configuration, migration, implementation, refactor, and review questions with official guidance.

The docs snapshot is not bundled with this skill because the upstream repository is source-available but not open-source. Users must initialize the snapshot themselves and are responsible for complying with the upstream license.

Quick start

Check whether the docs snapshot is initialized (references/docs/ and references/docs-index.tsx exist).
If the snapshot is missing or older than one week, stop and ask to run the initialization step in "Initialization" before continuing. Do not answer the user's question until the snapshot is initialized.
Identify the topic (utility, variant, config, migration, compatibility, implementation, refactor, review).
Find the matching doc in references/docs-index.tsx.
Load only the relevant file from references/docs/.
For implementation, refactor, or review tasks, also load references/engineering-playbook.md.
Apply guidance and call out any breaking changes or constraints.

Initialization (required once per install)

Run the sync script to download the Tailwind docs locally. This requires network access, git, and Python 3:


python skills/tailwind-4-docs/scripts/sync_tailwind_docs.py --accept-docs-license

This pulls content from tailwindlabs/tailwindcss.com. That repo is source-available and explicitly not open-source, so the user must accept its license before downloading and keep the snapshot local.

If you cannot run tools or have no internet access, ask the user to run the exact command above in a terminal, then continue once references/docs/ and references/docs-index.tsx exist.

If the snapshot is missing or older than one week, you must ask for permission to run the command or ask the user to run it. Do not proceed with Tailwind guidance until the snapshot is initialized or refreshed.

If initialization is blocked (no internet or no write access), use references/gotchas.md as a limited fallback and ask the user to consult the official docs. For implementation, refactor, or review tasks, references/engineering-playbook.md can also serve as a limited fallback.

References map

references/docs/ is generated locally and contains the Tailwind v4 MDX docs snapshot.
references/docs-index.tsx is generated locally and contains the category and slug map used by the docs sidebar.
references/docs-source.txt captures the upstream repo, commit, and snapshot date (or reports that initialization is pending).
references/engineering-playbook.md is the agent-oriented implementation, refactor, and review guide.
references/gotchas.md provides a quick scan of common v4 migration pitfalls.

MDX handling

Treat export const title and export const description as metadata.
Read JSX callouts like <TipInfo> or <TipBad> as guidance text.

Common entry points

Migration: references/docs/upgrade-guide.mdx, references/docs/compatibility.mdx.
Implementation/refactor/review: references/engineering-playbook.md.
Gotchas overview: references/gotchas.md.
Configuration and directives: references/docs/functions-and-directives.mdx, references/docs/adding-custom-styles.mdx, references/docs/theme.mdx.
Variants and responsive patterns: references/docs/hover-focus-and-other-states.mdx, references/docs/responsive-design.mdx.
Core behavior: references/docs/preflight.mdx, references/docs/detecting-classes-in-source-files.mdx.

Migration checklist

When upgrading from v3 to v4, always confirm the following in the docs:

Browser support and compatibility expectations.
Tooling changes: @tailwindcss/postcss, @tailwindcss/cli, @tailwindcss/vite.
Import syntax: @import "tailwindcss" replaces @tailwind directives.
Utility renames/removals, prefix format, and important modifier placement.
Changes to variants, transforms, and arbitrary value syntax.

Update workflow

Run scripts/sync_tailwind_docs.py to refresh the snapshot. Use --local-repo if you already have a local clone of tailwindlabs/tailwindcss.com to speed up syncs. Always pass --accept-docs-license.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Tailwind 4 Docs AI skill do?

Why use Tailwind 4 Docs on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Tailwind 4 Docs 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 4 Docs in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Lombiq/Tailwind-Agent-Skills/tree/dev/skills/tailwind-4-docs. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Tailwind 4 Docs?

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 4 Docs?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Tailwind 4 Docs with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Tailwind 4 Docs AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Lombiq under the BSD-3-Clause license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

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.
