What it does
Tailwind is an agent skill from pproenca/dot-skills. Tailwind CSS v4 performance optimization and best practices guidelines (formerly tailwindcss-v4-style). This skill should be used when writing, reviewing, or refactoring Tailwind CSS v4 code to ensure optimal build performance, minimal CSS output, and correct usage of v4 features. Triggers on tasks involving Tailwind configuration, @theme directive, utility classes, responsive design, dark mode, container queries, or CSS generation optimization.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 52 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `AGENTS.md`, `README.md` and `assets/templates/_template.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering CSS and styling, Theming and dark mode and Responsive design. It works with Tailwind CSS and Vite. The repository describes itself as: A collection of AI agent skills following the Agent Skills open format. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks involving Tailwind configuration
- @theme directive
- Utility classes
- Responsive design
Example prompts
- “/tailwind”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cf93c57. 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.
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 loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 492 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
