At a glance

Official daisyUI skill for Tailwind CSS projects, routing to install, usage, configuration, color and per-component guides before writing any HTML or JSX with its classes.

  • Works in 6 steps: Identify the intended function,… → Use the component list in this file to… → If the choice is not clear, read the… → …
  • Writing HTML or JSX for a UI that uses Tailwind CSS
  • SKILL.md covers When to use this skill, References that you must read and List of components
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

daisyUI 5 supplies class names for common UI components, semantic colors and themes on top of Tailwind CSS 4. The skill insists it must be used for all HTML or JSX authoring and all Tailwind UI work, even when the user has not explicitly asked for daisyUI, triggering on terms like component, UI, layout, template, theme, color or design.

A routing table points to separate guides that must be read before acting: an install guide when the project lacks daisyUI, a usage guide that must be read before any daisyUI class name is written, a configuration guide for themes, prefixes and other options, a colors guide that must be read before using daisyUI colors, and individual per-component guide files, with more than one candidate guide to be checked before picking a component. Dozens of components are listed by name, from accordion and alert through cards, carousels, dropdowns and kbd, each with its own markdown reference file.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing HTML or JSX for a UI that uses Tailwind CSS
  • Adding or styling a daisyUI component such as a modal, drawer or carousel
  • Setting up daisyUI themes, prefixes or color configuration in a new project

Example prompts

  • “Add a daisyUI card component showing this product's details.”
  • “Set up daisyUI with a custom theme in this Tailwind project.”
  • “Build a responsive navbar using daisyUI's drawer and dropdown components.”

Requirements

  • Tailwind CSS 4
  • The daisyUI package

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the intended function, behavior, and layout in the request. Do not use only the exact words.
  2. Use the component list in this file to select the best candidate components.
  3. If the choice is not clear, read the guides for the candidate components that can meet the request before you select one.
  4. Compare the description, behavior, syntax, and rules of each candidate with the request.
  5. Select the best component or component combination. Obey all its constraints.
  6. Use the exact structure and constraints of the selected components.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9adbeaa. 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

DaisyUI Component Library loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 420 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

References that you must read

TaskGuideNote
Install daisyUI./install/SKILL.mdIf the project does not have daisyUI, use this guide.
Use daisyUI class names./usage/SKILL.mdYou must read this guide before you use daisyUI class names in code.
Configure daisyUI./config/SKILL.mdRead this guide to configure themes, prefixes, logs, or other options. You do not need it for basic use.
daisyUI colors and themes./colors/SKILL.mdYou must read this guide before you use daisyUI colors in code.

List of components

Component discovery protocol

Before you write daisyUI code, do these steps in sequence:

  1. Identify the intended function, behavior, and layout in the request. Do not use only the exact words.
  2. Use the component list in this file to select the best candidate components.
  3. If the choice is not clear, read the guides for the candidate components that can meet the request before you select one.
  4. Compare the description, behavior, syntax, and rules of each candidate with the request.
  5. Select the best component or component combination. Obey all its constraints.
  6. Use the exact structure and constraints of the selected components.

You must match the meaning, even when the words are different from component names. A component with a different name can still be the best match. Always examine the intended function and meaning.

If the user requests a named component and a guide with that name exists, read that guide first.
