What makes shadcn/ui different from other component libraries?

Unlike traditional libraries, you copy the source code of shadcn/ui components directly into your project, giving you 100% control over styling and logic without a node_modules dependency.

Does this skill support React Server Components (RSC)?

Yes, the skill includes configurations and implementation patterns specifically optimized for Next.js and React Server Components.

How do I add new components using this skill?

You can use the provided CLI commands such as 'npx shadcn@latest add [component-name]' to instantly generate the component files within your project structure.

What are the primary dependencies for these components?

The components are built on Radix UI primitives for accessibility and logic, and Tailwind CSS for styling, using the 'cn' utility for class merging.

Is it easy to customize the theme colors?

Yes, the skill demonstrates how to use CSS variables within your global CSS file to change the appearance of components globally while maintaining accessibility.
