Tailwind CSS is an agent skill from cohen-liel/hivemind. Tailwind CSS patterns for modern UI. Use when styling components, building responsive layouts, creating design systems, or any Tailwind/CSS work.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Responsive design and Design systems. It works with Tailwind CSS. The repository describes itself as: One prompt. A full AI engineering team. Go lie on the couch. 🧠. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Styling components
Building responsive layouts
Creating design systems
Any Tailwind/CSS work

Example prompts

“/tailwind-css”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 918dd9b. 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 typescript).
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

Tailwind CSS loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 94 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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.

Tailwind CSS Patterns

Setup (tailwind.config.ts)

typescript

import type { Config } from 'tailwindcss'

export default {
  content: ['./src/**/*.{ts,tsx}', './app/**/*.{ts,tsx}'],
  theme: {
    extend: {
      colors: {
        primary: {
          50: '#eff6ff',
          500: '#3b82f6',
          600: '#2563eb',
          900: '#1e3a8a',
        },
        // Use CSS variables for theming
        background: 'hsl(var(--background))',
        foreground: 'hsl(var(--foreground))',
      },
      fontFamily: {
        sans: ['Inter var', 'system-ui', 'sans-serif'],
        mono: ['JetBrains Mono', 'monospace'],
      },
      borderRadius: { DEFAULT: '0.5rem' },
      animation: {
        'fade-in': 'fadeIn 0.2s ease-in-out',
        'slide-up': 'slideUp 0.3s ease-out',
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [
    require('@tailwindcss/forms'),
    require('@tailwindcss/typography'),
  ],
} satisfies Config

Component Patterns

Button

tsx

const buttonVariants = {
  primary: 'bg-primary-600 text-white hover:bg-primary-700 focus:ring-primary-500',
  secondary: 'bg-white text-gray-700 border border-gray-300 hover:bg-gray-50',
  danger: 'bg-red-600 text-white hover:bg-red-700 focus:ring-red-500',
  ghost: 'text-gray-700 hover:bg-gray-100',
}

export function Button({ variant = 'primary', size = 'md', className, ...props }) {
  return (
    <button
      className={cn(
        'inline-flex items-center justify-center rounded-md font-medium',
        'focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-offset-2',
        'disabled:opacity-50 disabled:cursor-not-allowed',
        'transition-colors duration-150',
        {
          'px-3 py-1.5 text-sm': size === 'sm',
          'px-4 py-2 text-sm': size === 'md',
          'px-6 py-3 text-base': size === 'lg',
        },
        buttonVariants[variant],
        className,
      )}
      {...props}
    />
  )
}

Card

tsx

export function Card({ children, className }: { children: React.ReactNode; className?: string }) {
  return (
    <div className={cn('bg-white rounded-xl border border-gray-200 shadow-sm p-6', className)}>
      {children}
    </div>
  )
}

Responsive Layout

tsx

// Mobile-first: base = mobile, sm/md/lg = progressively larger
<div className="grid grid-cols-1 gap-4 sm:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 xl:grid-cols-4">
  {items.map(item => <Card key={item.id} />)}
</div>

// Sidebar layout
<div className="flex min-h-screen">
  <aside className="hidden lg:flex lg:w-64 lg:flex-col bg-gray-900 text-white">
    {/* Sidebar */}
  </aside>
  <main className="flex-1 overflow-auto">
    {/* Content */}
  </main>
</div>

Dark Mode

tsx

// tailwind.config.ts: darkMode: 'class'
// Root layout:
<html className={isDark ? 'dark' : ''}>

// Components use dark: prefix:
<div className="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900 text-gray-900 dark:text-white">

cn() utility (merge classes)

typescript

import { clsx, type ClassValue } from 'clsx'
import { twMerge } from 'tailwind-merge'

export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
  return twMerge(clsx(inputs))
}
// twMerge handles conflicting classes: cn('p-4', 'p-6') → 'p-6'

Common Patterns

tsx

// Loading skeleton
<div className="animate-pulse space-y-3">
  <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-3/4" />
  <div className="h-4 bg-gray-200 rounded w-1/2" />
</div>

// Badge
<span className="inline-flex items-center px-2.5 py-0.5 rounded-full text-xs font-medium bg-green-100 text-green-800">
  Active
</span>

// Input with error state
<input className={cn(
  'block w-full rounded-md border px-3 py-2 text-sm focus:outline-none focus:ring-2',
  error
    ? 'border-red-300 focus:ring-red-500 text-red-900 placeholder:text-red-300'
    : 'border-gray-300 focus:ring-primary-500'
)} />

// Modal overlay
<div className="fixed inset-0 z-50 flex items-center justify-center bg-black/50 backdrop-blur-sm">
  <div className="bg-white rounded-xl shadow-2xl p-6 w-full max-w-md mx-4">
    {/* Modal content */}
  </div>
</div>

Rules

Mobile-first: style for mobile (no prefix), then override for larger screens
Use cn() from clsx + tailwind-merge to compose dynamic classes
Extract repeated class combos to reusable components — not @apply
Use CSS variables for design tokens (colors, radius) for easy theming
Avoid arbitrary values [w-123px] — use the design system scale
gap- not space-x/y- for flex/grid layouts (more predictable)
Dark mode via dark: prefix + class strategy (not media query)
Use @tailwindcss/forms for better default form styling
