Shadcn Component Management
Prerequisites
Verify project setup:
shadcn___get_project_registries
If no components.json exists, instruct user: npx shadcn@latest init
Quick Add Workflow
For simple component additions (e.g., "add a date picker"):
-
Search - Find component in registry:
shadcn___search_items_in_registries(registries, query) -
View - Get implementation details:
shadcn___view_items_in_registries(items: ["@shadcn/component-name"]) -
Examples - Get usage demo:
shadcn___get_item_examples_from_registries(registries, query: "component-demo") -
Install - Get add command:
shadcn___get_add_command_for_items(items: ["@shadcn/component-name"]) -
Output - Provide installation command and example code
Complex Build Workflow
For multi-component features (e.g., "build a login form"), see references/workflows.md.
When to use Complex Build:
- Feature requires 3+ components
- Need component hierarchy planning
- Building complete sections (forms, dashboards, modals)
Component Naming Patterns
Common search queries:
- Forms:
form,input,select,checkbox,radio-group - Layout:
card,dialog,sheet,drawer,tabs - Feedback:
alert,toast,skeleton,progress - Navigation:
button,dropdown-menu,navigation-menu
Example queries for demos: form-demo, card-with-form, dialog-demo
After Implementation
Always run audit:
shadcn___get_audit_checklist
