At a glance

Apply exact Tailwind arbitrary shadow utilities for polished, layered neutral elevation.

  • Feature callouts

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Modal-like containers need refined shadows without default Tailwind shadow scales

What it does

Beautiful Shadows is an agent skill from boraoztunc/skills. Apply exact Tailwind arbitrary shadow utilities for polished, layered neutral elevation. Use when compact cards, controls, panels, popovers, hero media, feature callouts, or modal-like containers need refined shadows without default Tailwind shadow scales or colored tinting.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering CSS and styling. It works with Tailwind CSS. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for copywriting, SEO, design, and more. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Feature callouts
  • Modal-like containers need refined shadows without default Tailwind shadow scales
  • Colored tinting

Example prompts

  • “/beautiful-shadows”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 645553c. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are html).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Beautiful Shadows loads about 635 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~635

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Apply exact Tailwind arbitrary shadow utilities for polished, layered neutral elevation. Use when compact cards, controls, panels, popovers, hero media, feature callouts, or modal-like containers need refined shadows without default Tailwind shadow scales or colored tinting.

Beautiful Shadows

Use When

  • A surface needs polished, layered elevation.
  • Default Tailwind shadows feel too generic or blunt.
  • The design needs neutral, refined depth without colored glow.

Shadow Utilities

Use these exact Tailwind classes.

Beautiful sm

Use for compact cards, form controls, pills, and quieter surfaces.

Beautiful md

Use for cards, panels, popovers, and the default elevated surface style.

  ...
</div>

Usage Rules

  • Use Beautiful sm for compact cards, form controls, pills, and quieter surfaces.
  • Use Beautiful md for cards, panels, popovers, and the default elevated surface style.
  • Use Beautiful lg for hero media, feature callouts, modal-like containers, and the strongest lift.
  • Pair with a clean surface fill and a consistent radius.
  • Use one shadow strength per component state unless an interaction clearly changes elevation.

Avoid

  • Mixing these with default Tailwind shadow scales on the same component.
  • Tinting these shadows with strong colors; keep them neutral and refined.
  • Applying Beautiful lg to dense lists or tiny controls.
  • Stacking multiple shadow utilities on one element.
  • Using these as a substitute for clear borders in very low-contrast layouts.
