Can I use this to build complex forms?

Yes, the skill includes a 'Complex Build Workflow' specifically for features requiring three or more components, such as forms with validation, dialogs, and select inputs.

How do I start using shadcn with this skill?

If your project isn't initialized yet, the skill will detect the missing components.json and guide you through running 'npx shadcn@latest init'.

Does it support custom styling beyond defaults?

While it focuses on structural implementation, it is designed to work alongside frontend design skills to customize Tailwind themes and CSS variables.

How does the search functionality work?

It uses MCP tools to query project registries, allowing Claude to find the exact component names, documentation, and usage examples needed for your task.

What frameworks are compatible with this skill?

This skill is designed for projects using shadcn/ui, which typically includes React-based frameworks like Next.js, Vite, or Remix that use Tailwind CSS.
