What it does

Shadcn Project Workflow is an agent skill from muratgur/ordinus. Work with shadcn/ui in Ordinus. Use when adding, updating, composing, debugging, or styling shadcn-style components; touching components.json; using npx shadcn; changing src/renderer/src/components/ui; applying registry items or presets; or deciding whether to install a UI primitive.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `evals/evals.json` and `references/cli.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems. It works with shadcn/ui and npm. The repository describes itself as: Your local-first command center for working with AI agents like a real team. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Styling shadcn-style components
  • Touching components.json
  • Using npx shadcn
  • Changing src/renderer/src/components/ui

Example prompts

  • “/shadcn-project-workflow”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run or inspect project context before making component decisions
  2. Read DESIGN.md before changing theme tokens, variants, component styling, status surfaces, or user-facing UI copy.
  3. Check existing installed components before adding new ones.
  4. Prefer shadcn CLI for registry components
  5. For unfamiliar components, get docs first
  6. For updates, preview before changing
  7. Read files added by the CLI and fix imports, aliases, composition, and lint issues.
  8. Run npm run ui:check, npm run typecheck, npm run lint, and npm run build.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c27f289. 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:

    • npm
    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and npx, 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

Shadcn Project Workflow loads about 859 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 371 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~859
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

description
Work with shadcn/ui in Ordinus. Use when adding, updating, composing, debugging, or styling shadcn-style components; touching components.json; using npx shadcn; changing src/renderer/src/components/ui; applying registry items or presets; or deciding whether to install a UI primitive.

shadcn Project Workflow

Objective

Use shadcn/ui as the standard path for reusable UI primitives while preserving Ordinus product direction.

Use this with ordinus-ui-system: this skill governs shadcn mechanics; ordinus-ui-system governs product feel. Use DESIGN.md as the canonical source for theme tokens, component vocabulary, status language, and UI density when changing shadcn-style components or renderer styling.

Required Workflow

  1. Run or inspect project context before making component decisions: npm run ui:info
  2. Read DESIGN.md before changing theme tokens, variants, component styling, status surfaces, or user-facing UI copy.
  3. Check existing installed components before adding new ones.
  4. Prefer shadcn CLI for registry components: npm run ui:add -- <component>
  5. For unfamiliar components, get docs first: npx shadcn@latest docs <component>
  6. For updates, preview before changing: npm run ui:add -- <component> --dry-run npm run ui:add -- <component> --diff <file>
  7. Read files added by the CLI and fix imports, aliases, composition, and lint issues.
  8. Run npm run ui:check, npm run typecheck, npm run lint, and npm run build.

Ordinus Defaults

  • Package manager: npm.
  • Electron app directory: app.
  • Renderer alias: @renderer/*.
  • Run shadcn and npm commands from app unless the user explicitly changes the project layout.
  • UI components path: app/src/renderer/src/components/ui.
  • Utility path: app/src/renderer/src/lib/utils.ts.
  • Tailwind version: v3.
  • Icon library: lucide-react.
  • Product style: calm, operational, work-focused.

Critical Rules

  • Align reusable variants and semantic CSS variables with DESIGN.md before adding one-off styling.
  • Compose existing components before writing custom styled markup.
  • Use built-in variants before custom class overrides.
  • Use semantic tokens such as bg-background, text-muted-foreground, border, and bg-primary.
  • Avoid raw Tailwind colors for product UI unless adding an intentional semantic token or variant.
  • Use gap-* for spacing, not space-x-* or space-y-*.
  • Use size-* for equal width and height.
  • Use cn() for conditional class composition.
  • Do not apply presets, overwrite components, or change global theme without explicit user approval.

Notes

The official shadcn skill includes broader registry, MCP, asset, and eval infrastructure. Ordinus keeps a smaller adapted version focused on this Electron/Vite app.
