The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Radix UI Design System

Build production-ready, accessible design systems using Radix UI primitives with full customization control and zero style opinions.

Detailed Guide

Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating a custom design system from scratch
  • Building accessible UI component libraries
  • Implementing complex interactive components (Dialog, Dropdown, Tabs, etc.)
  • Migrating from styled component libraries to unstyled primitives
  • Setting up theming systems with CSS variables or Tailwind
  • Need full control over component behavior and styling
  • Building applications requiring WCAG 2.1 AA/AAA compliance

Do not use this skill when

  • You need pre-styled components out of the box (use shadcn/ui, Mantine, etc.)
  • Building simple static pages without interactivity
  • The project doesn't use React 16.8+ (Radix requires hooks)
  • You need components for frameworks other than React

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Command Palette (Combo Dialog)

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import * as Dialog from '@radix-ui/react-dialog';
import { Command } from 'cmdk';

export function CommandPalette() {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    const down = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
      if (e.key === 'k' && (e.metaKey || e.ctrlKey)) {
        e.preventDefault();
        setOpen((open) => !open);
      }
    };
    document.addEventListener('keydown', down);
    return () => document.removeEventListener('keydown', down);
  }, []);

  return (
    <Dialog.Root open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
      <Dialog.Portal>
        <Dialog.Overlay className="fixed inset-0 bg-black/50" />
        <Dialog.Content className="fixed left-1/2 top-1/2 -translate-x-1/2 -translate-y-1/2">
          <Dialog.Title>Commands</Dialog.Title>
          <Dialog.Description>Search available actions.</Dialog.Description>
          <Command>
            <Command.Input placeholder="Type a command..." />
            <Command.List>
              <Command.Empty>No results found.</Command.Empty>
              <Command.Group heading="Suggestions">
                <Command.Item>Calendar</Command.Item>
                <Command.Item>Search Emoji</Command.Item>
              </Command.Group>
            </Command.List>
          </Command>
        </Dialog.Content>
      </Dialog.Portal>
    </Dialog.Root>
  );
}

Example 2: Dropdown Menu with Icons

import * as DropdownMenu from '@radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu';
import { DotsHorizontalIcon } from '@radix-ui/react-icons';

export function ActionsMenu() {
  return (
    <DropdownMenu.Root>
      <DropdownMenu.Trigger asChild>
        <button className="icon-button" aria-label="Actions">
          <DotsHorizontalIcon />
        </button>
      </DropdownMenu.Trigger>

      <DropdownMenu.Portal>
        <DropdownMenu.Content className="dropdown-content" align="end">
          <DropdownMenu.Item className="dropdown-item">
            Edit
          </DropdownMenu.Item>
          <DropdownMenu.Item className="dropdown-item">
            Duplicate
          </DropdownMenu.Item>
          <DropdownMenu.Separator className="dropdown-separator" />
          <DropdownMenu.Item className="dropdown-item text-red-500">
            Delete
          </DropdownMenu.Item>
        </DropdownMenu.Content>
      </DropdownMenu.Portal>
    </DropdownMenu.Root>
  );
}

Example 3: Form with Radix Select + React Hook Form

import * as Select from '@radix-ui/react-select';
import { useForm, Controller } from 'react-hook-form';

interface FormData {
  country: string;
}

export function CountryForm() {
  const { control, handleSubmit } = useForm<FormData>();

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit((data) => console.log(data))}>
      <Controller
        name="country"
        control={control}
        render={({ field }) => (
          <Select.Root onValueChange={field.onChange} value={field.value}>
            <Select.Trigger ref={field.ref} onBlur={field.onBlur} aria-label="Country" className="select-trigger">
              <Select.Value placeholder="Select a country" />
              <Select.Icon />
            </Select.Trigger>
            
            <Select.Portal>
              <Select.Content className="select-content">
                <Select.Viewport>
                  <Select.Item value="us"><Select.ItemText>United States</Select.ItemText></Select.Item>
                  <Select.Item value="ca"><Select.ItemText>Canada</Select.ItemText></Select.Item>
                  <Select.Item value="uk"><Select.ItemText>United Kingdom</Select.ItemText></Select.Item>
                </Select.Viewport>
              </Select.Content>
            </Select.Portal>
          </Select.Root>
        )}
      />
      <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
  );
}
