What it does
When installed, the agent follows this guide to set up Tailwind CSS version 4 for a website or app. It writes shared design settings (colors, radius, animations, dark mode) as CSS variables so that components look consistent, and it applies standard patterns for building reusable UI pieces and responsive, accessible layouts. It also explains how to move older Tailwind v3 setups to v4.
Great for
- Front-end developers building a shared component library in Tailwind
- Teams standardizing colors, spacing and dark mode across a codebase
- Developers migrating a project from Tailwind v3 to v4
Skip it if
- Projects that still use Tailwind v3 without planning an upgrade, since the guide targets v4 syntax and the config patterns differ
- Non-developers wanting a finished visual design, because this only supplies patterns and starter code, not a ready-made site
Try asking
- “Set up a Tailwind v4 theme with light and dark mode color tokens for my React app”
- “Convert my tailwind.config.ts theme settings into CSS @theme variables”
- “Create reusable button variants with consistent sizes and focus states”
- “Add fade and slide entry animations to my component library using Tailwind v4”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Name the framework you use (React, Vue, plain HTML) so the agent can match component code to it.
- Tell the agent whether you are starting fresh or migrating from v3, since the steps differ.
- Check the generated CSS in a browser, especially dark mode and focus rings, because the color values are examples to adjust.
