Tailwind CSS Patterns

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Styling React/Vue/Svelte components
• Building responsive layouts
• Implementing design systems
• Optimizing CSS workflow

Example prompts

• “Use the tailwind-css-patterns skill to provide comprehensive Tailwind CSS utility-first styling patterns including responsive design, layout…”
• “/tailwind-css-patterns”

Requirements

• Node.js
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Start Mobile-First: Write base styles for mobile, add responsive prefixes (sm:, md:, lg:) for larger screens
2. 2Use Design Tokens: Leverage Tailwind's spacing, color, and typography scales
3. 3Compose Utilities: Combine multiple utilities for complex styles
4. 4Extract Components: Create reusable component classes for repeated patterns
5. 5Configure Theme: Customize design tokens in tailwind.config.js or using @theme
6. 6Verify Changes: Test at each breakpoint using DevTools responsive mode. Check for visual regressions and accessibility issues before…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 11d15aa. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Glob
  • Grep
  • Bash

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • npm
  • npx

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • tailwindcss.com
  • tailwindui.com
  • play.tailwindcss.com

  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 Patterns loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 491 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~86

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

~10k

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

  allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

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.
