Installation instructions for daisyUI 5 with Tailwind CSS 4: the npm setup, CSS plugin lines, CDN usage and pointers to framework-specific guides.

  • Works in 5 steps: You must use Tailwind CSS 4 with daisyUI… → The tailwind.config.js file is… → To install daisyUI 5, run npm i -D… → …
  • Adding daisyUI 5 to a Tailwind CSS 4 project
  • Calls npm; reaches cdn.jsdelivr.net
  • Setting up daisyUI through a CDN for a quick prototype

What it does

daisyUI 5 has to be paired with Tailwind CSS 4, and the skill says the tailwind.config.js file is deprecated in v4 and should not be used. With Node.js, the agent runs npm i -D daisyui@latest and puts the Tailwind import and the daisyUI plugin line into the CSS file.

Installing as a dependency is preferred, but a CDN setup is described too: a daisyUI stylesheet plus the Tailwind browser script, where the main file includes the light and dark themes and a themes file adds every built-in one. The CDN files lack the is-drawer-open and is-drawer-close variants. The skill also points to a standalone guide for the Tailwind executable without Node.js and to framework-specific guides for tools such as Astro, Angular, Bun, Django, Electron, Laravel and HTMX.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding daisyUI 5 to a Tailwind CSS 4 project
  • Setting up daisyUI through a CDN for a quick prototype
  • Choosing the right install guide for a framework or build tool
  • Fixing a setup that still relies on tailwind.config.js

Example prompts

  • “Install daisyUI 5 in this Vite project that uses Tailwind CSS 4.”
  • “Set up daisyUI with CDN links in this static HTML page.”
  • “Our project still has a tailwind.config.js for daisyUI, so move the setup to the Tailwind 4 CSS plugin approach.”

Requirements

  • Node.js and npm, or the CDN files for a browser-only setup

Workflow steps

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

  1. You must use Tailwind CSS 4 with daisyUI 5.
  2. The tailwind.config.js file is deprecated in Tailwind CSS v4. Do not use tailwind.config.js. If Tailwind CSS v4 is a Node.js dependency…
  3. To install daisyUI 5, run npm i -D daisyui@latest. Then, add @plugin "daisyui"; to the CSS file.
  4. Install daisyUI as a dependency when possible. If you have a specific reason to use a CDN instead, use the Tailwind CSS and daisyUI CDN…
  5. If Tailwind CSS and daisyUI are Node.js dependencies, use this CSS file

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8c24218. 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

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • cdn.jsdelivr.net

    Also links to:

    • daisyui.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

daisyUI 5 Installation loads about 967 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 247 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~967

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.

Installation instructions for daisyUI 5

Install daisyUI 5

Installation guide

  1. You must use Tailwind CSS 4 with daisyUI 5.
  2. The tailwind.config.js file is deprecated in Tailwind CSS v4. Do not use tailwind.config.js. If Tailwind CSS v4 is a Node.js dependency, add only @import "tailwindcss"; to the CSS file.
  3. To install daisyUI 5, run npm i -D daisyui@latest. Then, add @plugin "daisyui"; to the CSS file.
  4. Install daisyUI as a dependency when possible. If you have a specific reason to use a CDN instead, use the Tailwind CSS and daisyUI CDN files:
html
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>
  1. If Tailwind CSS and daisyUI are Node.js dependencies, use this CSS file:
css
@import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui";
CDN

For a browser setup with no installation, load the precompiled daisyUI CSS and the Tailwind browser build:

html
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>

The main CDN file includes the light and dark themes. To load all built-in themes, use:

html
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5/themes.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

You can also combine separate daisyUI CSS modules from the CDN. The CDN files do not include the is-drawer-open: and is-drawer-close: variants.

Standalone and framework-specific setup

Use the file paths and integration steps in the selected guide. Each framework can use a different CSS entry.
