Moai Library Shadcn

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Customizing shadcn/ui
• Run shadcn init
• Introduce Radix/React Aria

Example prompts

• “/moai-library-shadcn”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Read packages/ui/components.json and confirm style: "base-maia",
2. 2Run bunx shadcn@latest info --json from packages/ui (never from an app).
3. 3Search existing @asym/ui components before adding anything new.
4. 4For registry or generated components, inspect CLI output, adapt to Maia, and
5. 5Use Base UI render (not Radix asChild). Prefer semantic tokens over
6. 6Follow Core design-system lint for

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c30c8ff. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • bun
  • bunx

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use bunx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Moai Library Shadcn loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 620 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~98

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Build UI with Core's shadcn/Base UI system. Use for selecting, installing, composing, or customizing shadcn/ui, registry items, themes, and wrappers. Always preserve exact style `base-maia`, Zinc-oriented semantic CSS-variable tokens, and Base UI primitives. Do not use to switch styles, run `shadcn init`, or introduce Radix/React Aria. Pair with `packages/ui/AGENTS.md`.
