shadcn

Manages shadcn components and projects — adding, searching, fixing, debugging, styling, and composing UI. Provides project context, component docs, and usage examples. Applies when working with shadcn/ui, component registries, presets, --preset codes, or any project with a components.json file. Also triggers for "shadcn init", "create an app with --preset", or "switch to --preset".

Quality

Content

77%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is highly actionable with strong workflows and concrete CLI/code guidance, and it does not pad with basics Claude already knows. Its main weaknesses are mild internal redundancy and a progressive-disclosure structure whose referenced rule/reference files are missing from the bundle.

Suggestions

Ship the referenced ./rules/*.md, ./cli.md, and ./customization.md files (or remove the links) so the progressive-disclosure structure resolves to real content.

Consolidate the overlapping 'Critical Rules', 'Key Patterns', and 'Component Selection' sections to reduce redundancy and trim token usage.

Confirm the assets/*.png files are actually used or drop them from the bundle.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense and largely assumes Claude's competence (no explanations of what shadcn or Tailwind are), but at ~230 lines it repeats guidance across 'Critical Rules', 'Key Patterns', and the 'Component Selection' table, so it could be tightened.

2 / 3

Actionability

Executable commands throughout (add --dry-run/--diff, presets, search, docs) and copy-paste-ready code examples (FieldGroup/Field, data-icon, gap-* vs space-y-*, size-10) give concrete, complete guidance.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clear numbered Workflow and an 'Updating Components' section with explicit per-file diff steps and validation gates ('Never use --overwrite without explicit approval', 'always read the added files and verify') cover destructive and batch operations.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The body signals one-level-deep references to ./rules/*.md, ./cli.md, and ./customization.md, but none of those files exist in the bundle (only assets/ is present), so the referenced navigation leads nowhere in practice.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is concrete, third-person, and explicitly covers both capabilities and trigger conditions with strong natural keyword coverage. It is a model of a well-scoped skill description.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'adding, searching, fixing, debugging, styling, and composing UI' plus 'Provides project context, component docs, and usage examples' — rather than vague language.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both what ('Manages shadcn components and projects...') and when, with explicit trigger clauses ('Applies when...', 'Also triggers for...') in third person.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Strong coverage of natural and technical terms users would say: 'shadcn/ui', 'component registries', 'presets', '--preset codes', 'components.json', plus explicit phrasings like 'shadcn init' and 'create an app with --preset'.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (shadcn specifically) with distinct triggers like 'components.json' and '--preset' that make collision with other skills unlikely.
