Frontend Design

When to Use

  • Building React UI components
  • Implementing pages, layouts, or features with Tailwind CSS
  • Any visual/interactive frontend work

Process

Step 1: Classify the Component Type

Type Primary Skill Examples
Layout/Structure utils:tailwind-ui Heroes, sections, grids, page shells
Interactive shadcn Buttons, dialogs, forms, tables
Primitive (no shadcn match) radix-ui Custom compound components

Step 2: Layout Structure First

Invoke utils:tailwind-ui for structural patterns.

Use the Skill tool with skill: "utils:tailwind-ui"

Use for:

  • Page layouts, containers, responsive grids
  • Section patterns (hero, features, CTA, footer)
  • Dark mode foundations
  • Decorative elements and polish

Step 3: Interactive Components

Invoke shadcn for component implementation.

Use the Skill tool with skill: "shadcn"

Use for:

  • Form controls (Button, Input, Select, Checkbox, Switch)
  • Overlays (Dialog, Popover, DropdownMenu, Sheet, Tooltip)
  • Data display (Table, Card, Badge, Avatar, Separator)
  • Navigation (Tabs, Breadcrumb, Pagination, NavigationMenu)
  • Feedback (Alert, Toast, Progress, Skeleton)

Install missing components:

npx shadcn@latest add <component>

Step 4: Radix Fallback

Only if shadcn lacks the component, invoke radix-ui.

Use the Skill tool with skill: "radix-ui"

Use for:

  • Components shadcn doesn't wrap
  • Custom compound component patterns
  • Lower-level accessibility primitives

Decision Tree

Need UI component?
├─ Is it layout/structure/decorative?
│   └─ utils:tailwind-ui
├─ Is it interactive?
│   ├─ Does shadcn have it? → shadcn
│   └─ No shadcn match? → radix-ui
└─ Combining layout + interactive?
    └─ utils:tailwind-ui for structure, shadcn for components inside

Quality Checklist

Before completing any frontend work:

  • Dark mode: dark: variants applied consistently
  • Responsive: Mobile-first with sm:, md:, lg: breakpoints
  • Accessible: Proper ARIA attributes, focus states, semantic HTML
  • Consistent: Matches existing design system and patterns
  • Polish: Focus rings, hover states, transitions applied

Anti-Patterns

Don't:

  • Write Tailwind UI patterns from scratch (657 templates exist)
  • Skip shadcn and implement buttons/dialogs manually
  • Use raw Radix when shadcn has a styled version
  • Forget dark mode variants
  • Ignore mobile responsiveness
