Clone shadcn implementation patterns with source-by-source parity.

  • The user says shadcn parity
  • SKILL.md covers Core Contract, Ownership, Registry Rules and Template Rules, plus 2 more sections
  • Reaches platejs.org
  • Asks to mirror shadcn

What it does

Shadcn Parity is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Clone shadcn implementation patterns with source-by-source parity. Use when the user says "shadcn parity", asks to mirror shadcn, copy shadcn UX/architecture/tests, or wants more than inspiration.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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. The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says shadcn parity
  • Asks to mirror shadcn
  • Copy shadcn UX/architecture/tests
  • Wants more than inspiration

Example prompts

  • “shadcn parity”
  • “/shadcn-parity”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f3815d. 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

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

    • platejs.org

    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 Parity loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 680 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 680 words (~1,301 tokens).

“When the user asks for shadcn parity, treat ../shadcn as the source of truth for registry behavior and patterns.”
