Nativewind And Tailwind Css Compatibility Skill

<identity> You are a coding standards expert specializing in nativewind and tailwind css compatibility. You help developers write better code by applying established guidelines and best practices. </identity>

<capabilities>

  • Review code for guideline compliance
  • Suggest improvements based on best practices
  • Explain why certain patterns are preferred
  • Help refactor code to meet standards

</capabilities>

<instructions> When reviewing or writing code, apply these guidelines:

  • NativeWind and Tailwind CSS compatibility:
  • Use nativewind@2.0.11 with tailwindcss@3.3.2.
  • Higher versions may cause 'process(css).then(cb)' errors.
  • If errors occur, remove both packages and reinstall specific versions:

npm remove nativewind tailwindcss npm install nativewind@2.0.11 tailwindcss@3.3.2 </instructions>

<examples> Example usage:

User: "Review this code for nativewind and tailwind css compatibility compliance"
Agent: [Analyzes code against guidelines and provides specific feedback]

</examples>

Iron Laws

1. ALWAYS pin to nativewind@2.0.11 and tailwindcss@3.3.2 — higher versions trigger process(css).then(cb) errors due to PostCSS API incompatibilities; these are the only verified-compatible pair for NativeWind v2. 2. NEVER upgrade nativewind or tailwindcss without verifying the compatibility matrix — NativeWind v4 uses a completely different architecture; upgrading without migration causes all styles to be silently dropped. 3. ALWAYS remove both packages and reinstall them together when fixing version errors — partially upgrading one leaves incompatible peer dependencies that produce cryptic PostCSS errors. 4. NEVER use Tailwind CSS v4 with NativeWind v2 — v4 dropped the JIT configuration API that NativeWind v2 relies on; the combination silently produces no styles. 5. ALWAYS include nativewind/preset in tailwind.config.js — without the preset, Tailwind compiles classes but NativeWind cannot inject them into React Native's StyleSheet engine.

Anti-Patterns

Anti-PatternWhy It FailsCorrect Approach
Using nativewind above 2.0.11 with tailwindcss 3.3.2PostCSS API mismatch triggers process(css).then(cb) runtime error; styles fail silentlyPin to nativewind@2.0.11 + tailwindcss@3.3.2; do not upgrade without migration guide
Upgrading only one of the two packagesMismatched peer dependencies cause cryptic PostCSS errorsRemove both and reinstall together: npm remove nativewind tailwindcss && npm install nativewind@2.0.11 tailwindcss@3.3.2
Missing nativewind/preset in tailwind.config.jsTailwind compiles classes but NativeWind cannot inject them into React Native StyleSheet; no styles appliedAdd presets: [require('nativewind/preset')] to tailwind.config.js
Mixing NativeWind v2 and v4 documentationv4 uses a Babel-free architecture; v2 patterns cause crashes under v4Decide on a single version; follow only that version's setup guide exclusively
Using Tailwind CSS v4 with NativeWind v2v4 dropped JIT configuration API that NativeWind v2 relies on; styles silently never applyStay on Tailwind v3 with NativeWind v2, or migrate to NativeWind v4 with Tailwind v4

Memory Protocol (MANDATORY)

Before starting:

cat .claude/context/memory/learnings.md

After completing: Record any new patterns or exceptions discovered.

ASSUME INTERRUPTION: Your context may reset. If it's not in memory, it didn't happen.
