shadcn/ui for React

Beautiful, accessible components built on Radix UI with Tailwind CSS styling.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, use TeamCreate to spawn 3 agents:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing components and patterns 2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest shadcn/ui docs via Context7/Exa 3. mcp__shadcn__* - Search registry for component availability

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

Overview

When to Use

  • Building UI components for React applications (Vite, CRA)
  • Need accessible, customizable form components (inputs, selects, checkboxes)
  • Implementing dialogs, sheets, drawers, or overlay patterns
  • Creating data tables with sorting, filtering, and pagination
  • Building navigation menus, sidebars, or command palettes
  • Need toast notifications or alert feedback components

Why shadcn/ui

FeatureBenefit
Copy/paste modelComponents copied to your project, full ownership
Radix UI foundationAccessibility built-in, unstyled primitives
Tailwind CSS stylingUtility-first, easy customization
TanStack Form readyModern form library with Field pattern
Lucide iconsConsistent, customizable icon set

---

Critical Rules

1. NEVER create components manually - Always install with bunx --bun shadcn@latest add 2. TanStack Form only - NOT React Hook Form for all form implementations 3. Radix UI primitives - Components built on Radix (NOT Base UI) 4. Lucide icons - Default icon library, NOT Remix icons or others 5. Field pattern - Use Field, FieldLabel, FieldError for form fields 6. SOLID paths - Components at @/modules/cores/shadcn/components/ui/

---

Architecture

Component Foundation

  • Radix UI - Headless, accessible primitives (Dialog, Select, Popover, Tabs)
  • Tailwind CSS v4 - Styling via utility classes, CSS-first config
  • class-variance-authority - Variant management for component styles
  • clsx + tailwind-merge - Conditional class composition via cn() utility

Project Structure

Components installed to @/modules/cores/shadcn/components/ui/ following SOLID architecture. Utils at @/modules/cores/lib/utils.ts with cn() helper function.

Available MCP Tools

  • mcp__shadcn__search_items_in_registries - Search available components
  • mcp__shadcn__view_items_in_registries - View component source code
  • mcp__shadcn__get_item_examples_from_registries - Get usage examples
  • mcp__shadcn__get_add_command_for_items - Get installation commands

See installation.md for complete MCP setup.

Best Practices

1. Field components - Use new Field pattern for consistent form field structure 2. Client Components - React apps are client-side by default 3. Sonner for toasts - Modern toast notifications over legacy toast 4. MCP tools first - Use mcp__shadcn__* to explore before implementing 5. Theming via CSS variables - Customize colors in index.css :root 6. Accessibility - Rely on Radix UI keyboard navigation and ARIA
