Can I create custom themes with this skill?

Absolutely, it provides specific patterns for @custom-variant and theme-based selectors, such as data-theme attributes, to support complex UI requirements.

How does it improve code organization?

It utilizes the @layer directive to properly categorize styles into base, components, and utilities, which prevents specificity issues and keeps the stylesheet manageable.

Is it compatible with standard CSS files?

Yes, it bridges the gap between traditional CSS and Tailwind's utility-first approach by allowing the use of @apply and custom property definitions within standard CSS files.

Why use this skill instead of writing raw CSS?

This skill ensures that your custom styles remain consistent with the Tailwind ecosystem, allowing for features like hover and responsive modifiers to work with your custom classes.

Does this skill help with Tailwind CSS v4 features?

Yes, it focuses on modern directives like @utility and @variant which are central to the latest Tailwind CSS workflows and configuration-in-CSS approaches.
