Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 6 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: cva.style, headlessui.com, heroicons.com, marketplace.visualstudio.com, tailwindcss.com….

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides a curated set of best practices for applying Tailwind CSS to ensure consistent, maintainable, and high-performance frontend development. It guides AI agents on selecting appropriate utility classes, configuring themes correctly, and avoiding common anti-patterns like over-qualification or excessive nesting.

When to use it

  • Generating responsive layouts that adhere to mobile-first design principles.
  • Configuring custom color palettes, fonts, or spacing scales within a project's tailwind.config.js.
  • Refactoring legacy CSS into utility classes while maintaining semantic HTML structure.
  • Optimizing bundle sizes by identifying and removing unused utilities during the build process.

Key capabilities

  • Defines standard utility class usage for layout, typography, and color.
  • Enforces configuration standards for dark mode and custom themes.
  • Promotes clean code patterns to reduce technical debt in frontend projects.
  • Aligns development workflows with industry-recognized Tailwind guidelines.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a responsive navigation bar using Tailwind CSS following best practices for accessibility and mobile responsiveness."
  • "Create a tailwind.config.js file that extends the default theme with a custom brand color and specific font family."
  • "Refactor this block of inline styles into efficient, reusable Tailwind utility classes without over-qualifying elements."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your project has Tailwind CSS properly initialized before applying these practices, as the skill relies on standard build configurations. Avoid manually overriding core utilities unless necessary, as this can conflict with the framework's intended behavior and update cycles.
