What it does

Shadcn is an agent skill from one-ie/one. shadcn/ui under the ONE 6-token design system — CSS var tokens only, no hex, add components via the CLI. Invoke when editing src/components/ui/ or adding a primitive.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 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 Design systems. It works with shadcn/ui, Astro and React. The repository describes itself as: Make Your Ideas Real. Build Apps, Websites and AI Agents with Plain English with Astro, React, Shadcn and Cloudflare.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Design systems

Example prompts

  • “/shadcn”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 42ba8cd. 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:

    • 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

Shadcn loads about 302 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~302

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 121 words (~302 tokens).

“The 33 primitives in src/components/ui/ are vendored shadcn. They are styled by the 6-token system — they reference CSS vars, never literal colors.”
