description: Using jj (Jujutsu) for version control. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions jj, jujutsu, version control, commits, branches/bookmarks, rebasing, history rewriting, cloning/pushing/pulling, or any VCS workflow — even when they don't explicitly say "jj." This skill covers daily editing, history restructuring, collaboration with remotes, and recovery from mistakes. When the user's repository uses jj (look for a .jj/ directory), ALWAYS use jj commands instead of git commands.

|

## Core mental model
|
||||
|
||||
jj is a Git-compatible version control system built around *changes* (revisions) that evolve over time. Each change has a **change ID** (stable — follows the change across rebases) and a **commit hash** (changes whenever the commit content changes). Refer to changes by their change ID (short prefix form) when you want to track a logical change, or by commit hash when pinning exact content.
|
||||
|
||||
Key differences from Git:
|
||||
- **No staging area.** The working copy (`@`) is itself a commit. `jj status` compares `@` to its parent. Changes to tracked files are automatically part of `@`.
|
||||
- **Change IDs**, not branch names, are the primary way history is organized. A commit's change ID survives rebase, squash, and split.
|
||||
- **Operation log.** Every jj command creates an operation. `jj undo` simply undoes the last operation. `jj op log` shows the full history of commands run. Nothing is lost unless you explicitly garbage-collect.
|
||||
- **Bookmarks, not branches.** Bookmarks are labels on revisions. To move a bookmark to point at a different revision, use `jj bookmark move`. Git branches are just bookmarks that jj syncs to the remote.
|
||||
- **Revsets.** jj's revision selection language. Used everywhere commands accept revisions. Learn the common patterns (see core-concepts.md).
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Finding the right command
|
||||
|
||||
### Daily work loop
|
||||
|
||||
The core cycle is: **start a change → make edits → describe → (optionally) start the next change.**
|
||||
|
||||
| Intent | Command |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| See what's changed in `@` | `jj status` (aliases: `st`) |
|
||||
| See file-level diff | `jj diff` (use `--git` for git-style output, `-s` for summary) |
|
||||
| Start a new change on top of `@` | `jj new [REVISION]` (defaults to `@`) |
|
||||
| Describe/set the commit message | `jj describe -m "msg"` or `jj describe` (opens editor) |
|
||||
| Describe + start next change | `jj commit -m "msg"` (equivalent to `describe -m && new`) |
|
||||
| View revision graph | `jj log` (use `-r` with a revset to filter, `-p` for patch) |
|
||||
| Browse file in older revision | `jj file show -r REV PATH` |
|
||||
|
||||
`jj new` is the primary way to create changes. It creates an empty child of the given revision and makes it the new `@`. Unlike `git checkout -b`, it does not need a branch name.
|
||||
|
||||
When the user says "commit my changes" they almost always mean `jj describe -m "message"` to record a message on the current change, or `jj commit -m "message"` to record and start a new empty change on top.
|
||||
|
||||
### History restructuring
|
||||
|
||||
jj makes rewriting history safe because nothing is truly lost (the operation log preserves everything).
|
||||
|
||||
| Intent | Command |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Move a change to a different parent | `jj rebase -r REV -o NEW_PARENT` |
|
||||
| Move a whole branch of changes | `jj rebase -b REV -o NEW_PARENT` |
|
||||
| Absorb changes from `@` into parent | `jj squash` (moves `@`'s diff into its parent) |
|
||||
| Squash specific changes into sibling | `jj squash -f FROM_REV -t INTO_REV` |
|
||||
| Split a revision in two | `jj split [-r REV]` (interactive by default) |
|
||||
| Drop a change entirely | `jj abandon [-r REV]` (defaults to `@` if empty) |
|
||||
| Rename/edit a change's description | `jj describe -r REV -m "new message"` |
|
||||
| Edit a change's metadata (author, etc.) | `jj metaedit -r REV` |
|
||||
| Pull edits from child into parent | `jj absorb` (auto-detects where changes belong) |
|
||||
| Reorder siblings into a chain | `jj parallelize -r REVS...` |
|
||||
| Interactive graph rearrangement | `jj arrange` |
|
||||
| Touch up a change's content diff | `jj diffedit -r REV` |
|
||||
|
||||
**Common squash patterns:**
|
||||
- `jj squash` — squash `@` into its parent (the most common: you made a small fix that belongs in the previous commit)
|
||||
- `jj squash -f FEATURE_REV -t MAIN` — move changes from a feature revision into main
|
||||
|
||||
**Common rebase patterns:**
|
||||
- `jj rebase -r REV -o DEST` — rebase a single revision onto DEST
|
||||
- `jj rebase -b REV -o DEST` — rebase REV and all its descendants onto DEST
|
||||
- `jj rebase -r REV --insert-after ANCHOR` — reorder REV to come after ANCHOR (useful for reordering commits in a stack)
|
||||
- `jj rebase -r REV --insert-before ANCHOR`
|
||||
|
||||
When rebasing after a squash/split/abandon, jj automatically rebases descendants. You rarely need to manually restack.
|
||||
|
||||
### Collaboration
|
||||
|
||||
jj interoperates with Git remotes. The workflow is: fetch → rebase → push.
|
||||
|
||||
| Intent | Command |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Clone a remote repo | `jj git clone <URL>` |
|
||||
| Fetch from remote | `jj git fetch [--remote NAME]` |
|
||||
| Push to remote | `jj git push [--remote NAME]` |
|
||||
| List bookmarks and their targets | `jj bookmark list` (aliases: `b l`) |
|
||||
| Track a remote bookmark as local | `jj bookmark track NAME --remote origin` |
|
||||
| Move a bookmark to point at a revision | `jj bookmark move --to REV BOOKMARK` (aliases: `b m -t REV BOOKMARK`) |
|
||||
| Create a new bookmark | `jj bookmark create NAME` |
|
||||
| List remotes | `jj git remote list` |
|
||||
| Add a remote | `jj git remote add NAME URL` |
|
||||
|
||||
**Push workflow:**
|
||||
1. Ensure the bookmark you want to push points at your revision: `jj bookmark move --to=@ BOOKMARK`
|
||||
2. Push: `jj git push`
|
||||
3. If the remote has new commits: `jj git fetch` then `jj rebase -b BOOKMARK -o BOOKMARK@origin`
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** Before pushing, always check the change has a description. `jj git push` will fail or warn you if a change lacks a description. Use `jj describe -m "msg"` first.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
| Intent | Command |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Undo the last operation | `jj undo` |
|
||||
| Redo an undo | `jj redo` |
|
||||
| See operation history | `jj op log` |
|
||||
| Restore repo to a past state | `jj op restore OPERATION_ID` |
|
||||
| Restore files in `@` (undo edits in wd) | `jj restore` (restores all files from parent) |
|
||||
| Restore specific paths from another revision | `jj restore --from SOURCE_REV PATH...` |
|
||||
| Undo the changes introduced by a commit | `jj restore --changes-in REV` (creates a reverse of REV on top of @, effectively undoing its changes) |
|
||||
| Resolve conflicts | `jj resolve PATH...` (opens external merge tool) |
|
||||
| Inspect old repo state without restoring | `jj --at-op OPERATION_ID status` |
|
||||
|
||||
`jj undo` is the first thing to reach for when something goes wrong. If you need to undo farther back, `jj op log` + `jj op restore` can take you to any previous state.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Git-to-jj translation
|
||||
|
||||
When a user asks for a git command, translate to the equivalent jj command:
|
||||
|
||||
| Git | jj |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `git add FILE` | Edit FILE (no staging needed — tracked files auto-included) |
|
||||
| `git commit -m "msg"` | `jj describe -m "msg"` (or `jj commit -m "msg"` to also start a new change) |
|
||||
| `git commit --amend` | `jj squash` (move `@`'s changes into its parent) |
|
||||
| `git checkout BRANCH` | `jj new BOOKMARK` |
|
||||
| `git checkout -b BRANCH` | `jj new` then `jj bookmark create NAME` |
|
||||
| `git branch -d BRANCH` | `jj bookmark delete NAME` |
|
||||
| `git rebase main` | `jj rebase -b @ -o MAIN` |
|
||||
| `git reset HEAD~1` | `jj restore` then `jj abandon @` |
|
||||
| `git revert COMMIT` | `jj restore --changes-in COMMIT` |
|
||||
| `git log --oneline` | `jj log --no-graph` |
|
||||
| `git stash` | Not needed — just `jj new` to start fresh on top, or `jj bookmark create` to save the current state |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Choosing the right ancestor (`-o`) vs insert-after (`-A`) vs insert-before (`-B`)
|
||||
|
||||
- `-o` / `--onto`: makes the source revision(s) children of the target. Most common.
|
||||
- `-A` / `--insert-after`: inserts the source revision(s) *after* the target, making them siblings of the target's current children. Use when reordering within a stack.
|
||||
- `-B` / `--insert-before`: inserts the source revision(s) *before* the target, making them parents of the target. Use when you want to add a step before an existing commit.
|
||||
|
||||
These options appear on `rebase`, `new`, `split`, `squash`, and `restore`.

# Collaboration
|
||||
|
||||
Commands for working with Git remotes, bookmarks, and pushing/pulling changes.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj git clone
|
||||
|
||||
Clone a remote Git repository into a jj-backed repo.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj git clone <URL> # clone and checkout default branch
|
||||
jj git clone <URL> --colocate # clone as a colocated repo (works with git commands too)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## jj git fetch
|
||||
|
||||
Fetch changes from a remote. Unlike `git fetch`, this fetches all bookmarks by default and can automatically track new bookmarks based on config.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj git fetch # fetch all remotes
|
||||
jj git fetch --remote origin # fetch only origin
|
||||
jj git fetch --remote origin main # fetch specific bookmark(s)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After fetch, new remote bookmarks appear as `BOOKMARK@remote`. They aren't automatically tracked — you must explicitly `jj bookmark track` them.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj git push
|
||||
|
||||
Push changes to a remote. By default, pushes all bookmarks that have a remote counterpart.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj git push # push all tracked bookmarks
|
||||
jj git push --remote origin # push to specific remote
|
||||
jj git push --bookmark main # push only specific bookmark(s)
|
||||
jj git push --deleted BOOKMARK # propagate a bookmark deletion
|
||||
jj git push --change CHANGE_ID # push a specific change by change ID
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `--bookmark` / `-b`: specify which bookmarks to push
|
||||
- `--change`: push a single change to the remote as a draft PR (creates a bookmark on the remote)
|
||||
- `--remote`: specify the remote
|
||||
- `--deleted`: confirm you want to push a bookmark deletion to the remote
|
||||
|
||||
**Push checklist:**
|
||||
1. The revision has a description: `jj describe -m "msg"`
|
||||
2. The bookmark points at the right revision: `jj bookmark move --to=REV BOOKMARK` or use `jj bookmark set BOOKMARK` (creates or moves)
|
||||
3. The revision does not have conflicts: `jj status` will show them
|
||||
4. You're not upstream of others' work (if collaborating)
|
||||
5. Push: `jj git push`
|
||||
|
||||
## jj bookmark
|
||||
|
||||
Bookmark management. Short alias: `jj b`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj bookmark list # list all bookmarks and their targets (aliases: l)
|
||||
jj bookmark create NAME # create a new bookmark at @ (aliases: c)
|
||||
jj bookmark move --to REV NAME # move bookmark NAME to point at REV (aliases: m)
|
||||
jj bookmark set NAME # create or update bookmark NAME at @ (aliases: s)
|
||||
jj bookmark track NAME --remote R # track a remote bookmark locally (aliases: t)
|
||||
jj bookmark untrack NAME # stop tracking a remote bookmark
|
||||
jj bookmark delete NAME # delete a local bookmark (aliases: d)
|
||||
jj bookmark forget NAME # forget a bookmark without pushing deletion
|
||||
jj bookmark advance NAME # advance bookmark to nearest descendant of current target
|
||||
jj bookmark rename OLD NEW # rename a bookmark
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Bookmark workflow for pushing changes:**
|
||||
1. Work in `@` (on top of main)
|
||||
2. When ready: `jj bookmark move --to=@ main` (move the main bookmark to `@`)
|
||||
3. `jj git push` (pushes main to origin/main)
|
||||
|
||||
Or use a feature-branch workflow:
|
||||
1. `jj bookmark create my-feature` (creates bookmark at `@`)
|
||||
2. Work, describe, etc.
|
||||
3. `jj git push -b my-feature` (pushes just `my-feature`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Tracking:** When you clone a repo, remote bookmarks like `main@origin` exist but aren't automatically tracked. `jj bookmark track main --remote origin` creates a local `main` bookmark that follows `main@origin`. Without this, `jj git push` may not know which local bookmark corresponds to which remote bookmark.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj git remote
|
||||
|
||||
Manage Git remotes.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj git remote list # list remotes
|
||||
jj git remote add NAME URL # add a remote
|
||||
jj git remote remove NAME # remove a remote
|
||||
jj git remote set-url NAME URL # change a remote's URL
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## jj git colocation
|
||||
|
||||
Manage colocation with an underlying Git repo. Colocation means the `.jj` repo works on the same working copy as a `.git` repo, allowing both `jj` and `git` commands.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj git colocation init # initialize colocation
|
||||
jj git colocation deinit # remove colocation
|
||||
jj git export # manually sync jj changes to git
|
||||
jj git import # manually sync git changes to jj
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With colocation, export/import happens automatically on most commands. Use manual `jj git export` or `jj git import` if you've made changes in git that jj doesn't see yet.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj gerrit
|
||||
|
||||
Interact with Gerrit Code Review.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj gerrit submit CHANGE_ID # submit a change to Gerrit
|
||||
jj gerrit abandon CHANGE_ID # abandon a change in Gerrit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Working with stacks
|
||||
|
||||
jj excels at stacking changes. Common pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `jj new main` — start from main
|
||||
2. `jj describe -m "part 1"` — describe first change
|
||||
3. `jj new` — start second change
|
||||
4. `jj describe -m "part 2"` — describe second change
|
||||
5. `jj bookmark create stack-1` — save both (bookmark on latest)
|
||||
6. `jj bookmark create stack-2` — or just push with `jj git push -b stack-1`
|
||||
|
||||
To restack after reviews:
|
||||
1. `jj rebase -b stack-1 -o main` — move whole stack
|
||||
2. `jj git push` — update remote

# Core concepts
|
||||
|
||||
Understanding these concepts is essential for using jj correctly. Read this when the user seems new to jj, or when you need to reason about jj behavior beyond simple commands.
|
||||
|
||||
## Change IDs vs commit hashes
|
||||
|
||||
Every revision in jj has two identifiers:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Change ID** — A stable identifier (e.g., `abc12345`) that follows the revision across rebases, squashes, and splits. Use this when referring to a logical change over time.
|
||||
- **Commit hash** — A hash of the commit content (like Git). Changes every time the diff changes. Use this when you need to reference exact content.
|
||||
|
||||
Commands that take revisions (almost all of them) accept change IDs, commit hashes, or revset expressions. Prefer change IDs for user-facing references since they're stable.
|
||||
|
||||
## The working copy (`@`)
|
||||
|
||||
The `@` symbol represents the working copy revision. Unlike Git's detached HEAD or branch-based model:
|
||||
|
||||
- `@` is always a regular commit. It can have a description, parent(s), and children.
|
||||
- When you edit files, those changes belong to `@`.
|
||||
- `jj new` creates a new *empty* commit on top of `@` and makes that the new `@`. The old `@` becomes `@-` (parent of working copy).
|
||||
- `jj edit REV` sets the working copy to revision REV. Edits go directly into that revision's diff. Use `jj new` instead unless you specifically need to amend an existing change.
|
||||
- `jj status` shows the diff between `@` and its parent (`@-`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Operation log
|
||||
|
||||
Every jj command creates an **operation** in the operation log. This is jj's safety net:
|
||||
|
||||
- `jj op log` shows the history of commands (like shell history but richer)
|
||||
- `jj undo` creates a new operation that reverses the last one
|
||||
- `jj op restore OP_ID` restores the repo to the state after a given operation
|
||||
- `jj --at-op OP_ID <command>` runs a command as if the repo were at that operation (read-only inspection)
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing is permanently lost unless you run `jj util gc` (garbage collection). The operation log is append-only.
|
||||
|
||||
## Revsets
|
||||
|
||||
Revsets are jj's query language for selecting revisions. They appear everywhere a command accepts revisions. Key patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
| Expression | Meaning |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `@` | The working copy revision |
|
||||
| `main` | The revision pointed to by bookmark `main` |
|
||||
| `main@origin` | The revision pointed to by `main` on the `origin` remote |
|
||||
| `root()` | The root revision (virtual, all repos share it) |
|
||||
| `all()` | Every revision in the repo |
|
||||
| `mine()` | Revisions authored by the current user |
|
||||
| `none()` | Empty set |
|
||||
| `parents(REVSET)` | Parents of revisions in the set |
|
||||
| `children(REVSET)` | Children of revisions in the set |
|
||||
| `ancestors(REVSET)` | All ancestors (recursive parents) |
|
||||
| `descendants(REVSET)` | All descendants (recursive children) |
|
||||
| `::` | DAG range — `A::B` means "A and B and everything between them" |
|
||||
| `..` | Reachable from B but not from A — `A..B` means "B and ancestors of B not also ancestors of jj" |
|
||||
| `X \ Y` | Set difference |
|
||||
| `X + Y` | Set union |
|
||||
| `X & Y` | Set intersection |
|
||||
| `empty()` | Revisions with no diff from their parent |
|
||||
| `description(REGEX)` | Revisions whose description matches REGEX |
|
||||
| `author("NAME")` | Revisions authored by NAME (partial match) |
|
||||
| `bookmarks()` | Revisions that have bookmarks |
|
||||
| `immutable_heads()` | The configured immutable set |
|
||||
| `latest(N, REVSET)` | The latest N revisions in the set |
|
||||
| `merged()` | Merge commits |
|
||||
|
||||
**Practical examples:**
|
||||
- `main..@` — revisions in `@`'s ancestors that aren't in main (what you changed since main)
|
||||
- `ancestors(@) & ~immutable_heads()` — everything you can safely rewrite
|
||||
- `@-` — the parent of the working copy (one commit back)
|
||||
- `@--` — grandparent of the working copy
|
||||
- `description("fix.*")` — revisions with descriptions starting with "fix"
|
||||
- `empty() & ~@` — revisions that are empty but not the working copy (candidates for abandonment)
|
||||
|
||||
## Bookmarks
|
||||
|
||||
Bookmarks are labels attached to revisions. They serve the same conceptual role as Git branches but behave differently:
|
||||
|
||||
- Bookmarks can coexist at the same revision (no conflict)
|
||||
- Moving a bookmark doesn't affect the revision it points to — the revision keeps its change ID
|
||||
- Tracking a remote bookmark (`jj bookmark track NAME --remote origin`) creates a local bookmark that follows the remote's updates
|
||||
- Git branches are represented as bookmarks with `@remote` suffixes (e.g., `main@origin`)
|
||||
- `jj bookmark list` shows all bookmarks; the output format is `BOOKMARK: CHANGE_ID commit_hash`
|
||||
|
||||
## The immutable set
|
||||
|
||||
By default, jj prevents rewriting commits that are ancestors of any remote-tracking bookmark. This is configured by `revsets.immutable_heads` in the config (typically `immutable_heads() & ~@` plus `bookmarks()@remote`). Use `--ignore-immutable` to bypass this check (e.g., `jj rebase --ignore-immutable -r OLD_REV`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Global flags
|
||||
|
||||
These work with any jj command:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--at-op OP` — run as if repo were at a past operation (read-only)
|
||||
- `--ignore-immutable` — allow rewriting protected commits
|
||||
- `--ignore-working-copy` — skip snapshotting the working copy (faster, but may show stale state)
|
||||
- `-R PATH` — operate on a different repository
|
||||
- `--config NAME=VAL` — set config options inline (TOML syntax)

# Daily work
|
||||
|
||||
Commands and patterns for the core edit/describe/log cycle.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj status
|
||||
|
||||
Shows the diff between the working copy (`@`) and its parent. This is the first thing to run when a user asks "what's going on?" or "what have I changed?".
|
||||
|
||||
Key alias: `jj st` (the most common form used in practice).
|
||||
|
||||
Output shows:
|
||||
- Which revision you're on (change ID, commit hash, bookmark)
|
||||
- Whether `@` is empty or has changes
|
||||
- The diff (added/modified/deleted files)
|
||||
- Any conflicts
|
||||
|
||||
## jj new
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a new empty revision as a child of the given revision (default: `@`) and makes it the working copy. This is the closest jj equivalent to starting a new branch of work.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj new # new child of @, empty, becomes new @
|
||||
jj new REV # new child of REV
|
||||
jj new A B # new merge revision with parents A and B
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `--insert-after REV` — insert the new revision after REV (between REV and its children)
|
||||
- `--insert-before REV` — insert before REV (between REV and its parents)
|
||||
- `-m "msg"` — set description immediately
|
||||
- `--no-edit` — create the revision but don't switch working copy to it
|
||||
|
||||
## jj describe
|
||||
|
||||
Sets or edits the description (commit message) of a revision.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj describe # opens editor to edit @'s description
|
||||
jj describe -m "msg" # set description of @ inline
|
||||
jj describe -r REV # describe a specific revision
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `-m "msg"` — set description from command line (no editor)
|
||||
- `--stdin` — read description from stdin
|
||||
- `-r REV` — describe a different revision (default: `@`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Important:** A revision needs a description before it can be pushed. Always use `jj describe` (not `jj commit`) when the user says "write a commit message."
|
||||
|
||||
## jj commit
|
||||
|
||||
Combines `jj describe -m "msg"` followed by `jj new`. Records the current change's description and immediately starts a fresh empty revision on top.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj commit -m "feat: add user auth"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is the jj equivalent of git's `commit` but note: there's no staging step. Any changes to tracked files are included.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj log
|
||||
|
||||
Shows the revision graph. This is your primary tool for understanding history.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj log # default view (configurable via revsets.log)
|
||||
jj log -r "main..@" # changes you've made since main
|
||||
jj log -r "author(me)" # your changes
|
||||
jj log -r "all()" # everything
|
||||
jj log -r REV # log starting from REV
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Key flags:
|
||||
- `-r REVSET` — which revisions to show (revset)
|
||||
- `-n N` / `--limit N` — limit to N results
|
||||
- `--no-graph` — flat list (good for scripting)
|
||||
- `--reversed` — oldest first
|
||||
- `-p` / `--patch` — show the diff for each revision
|
||||
- `-T TEMPLATE` — custom template
|
||||
- `--count` — just print the count
|
||||
|
||||
## jj diff
|
||||
|
||||
Shows the diff of a revision. Unlike `jj log -p`, this focuses purely on the content diff.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj diff # diff of @ vs its parent
|
||||
jj diff -r REV # diff of REV vs its parent
|
||||
jj diff --from A --to B # diff between two specific revisions
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Key flags:
|
||||
- `--git` — git-format diff (good for piping or review)
|
||||
- `-s` / `--summary` — just show which files changed
|
||||
- `--stat` — histogram of changes
|
||||
- `--name-only` — just file paths
|
||||
- `--color-words` — word-level diff
|
||||
- `--context N` — lines of context
|
||||
|
||||
## jj edit
|
||||
|
||||
Sets the working copy to an existing revision. Edits go directly into that revision's diff — this rewrites history.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj edit REV # switch working copy to REV
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer `jj new REV` over `jj edit REV` in most cases: `jj new` creates a child so you can't accidentally rewrite the parent. Use `jj edit` when you intentionally want to amend an existing change (e.g., you forgot to include a file).
|
||||
|
||||
## jj file
|
||||
|
||||
File-level operations.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj file list [-r REV] # list tracked files in REV
|
||||
jj file show -r REV PATH # show file contents from REV
|

# History rewriting
|
||||
|
||||
Commands for restructuring the commit graph. jj's operation log makes history rewriting safe — nothing is permanently lost.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj rebase
|
||||
|
||||
Move revisions to different parent(s). The most fundamental history-rewriting command.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj rebase -r REV -o DEST # rebase single revision REV onto DEST
|
||||
jj rebase -b REV -o DEST # rebase REV and all its descendants onto DEST
|
||||
jj rebase -r REV --insert-after ANCHOR # reorder: put REV after ANCHOR
|
||||
jj rebase -r REV --insert-before ANCHOR # reorder: put REV before ANCHOR
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Moving `-r` vs `-b`:
|
||||
- `-r REV` — rebase only REV; its descendants follow because jj automatically rebases them on top
|
||||
- `-b REV` — rebase the entire branch (REV and all its descendants) to a new location. Equivalent to `-s roots(dest..REV)`
|
||||
|
||||
Note: jj automatically rebases descendants so you don't need to manually restack after a rebase. However, this can create duplicate commits if the destination already has commits with the same change IDs. `--keep-divergent` controls this behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj squash
|
||||
|
||||
Move changes from one revision into another. The most common pattern is moving `@`'s changes into its parent (the jj equivalent of amending).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj squash # squash @ into its parent
|
||||
jj squash -f SOURCE -t DEST # move SOURCE's changes into DEST
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Without flags: squash `@` into `@-` (the parent). After this, `@` becomes empty and `@-` now includes the changes.
|
||||
- `-f` / `--from`: which revision to take changes from (default: `@`)
|
||||
- `-t` / `--into`: which revision to put changes into (default: `@`)
|
||||
- `-i` / `--interactive`: choose which parts of the diff to squash
|
||||
- `-k` / `--keep-emptied`: don't abandon the source revision after squashing
|
||||
- `-m "msg"`: set description on the result
|
||||
|
||||
The `-o` (experimental), `--insert-after`, and `--insert-before` flags control where the resulting revision goes in the graph, similar to `jj rebase`.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj split
|
||||
|
||||
Split one revision into two. Changes in the original revision are partitioned into two new revisions.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj split -r REV # interactively choose which files go into the first split
|
||||
jj split FILE... # put specified files into the new first revision
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `-r REV`: the revision to split (default: `@`)
|
||||
- `-i`: force interactive mode (choose which hunks go where)
|
||||
- `-m "msg"`: description for the new (first) revision
|
||||
- `--parallel`: split into two parallel revisions (same parent) instead of parent-child
|
||||
- `--insert-after` / `--insert-before` / `-o`: control where the new revision goes
|
||||
|
||||
## jj abandon
|
||||
|
||||
Drop a revision. The revision is removed from the graph and its descendants are rebased onto its parent(s).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj abandon -r REV # abandon a specific revision
|
||||
jj abandon # abandon @ (only works if @ is empty)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Common use: clean up empty revisions after squash/restructuring. `jj abandon -r empty()` is a batch cleanup pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj absorb
|
||||
|
||||
Automatically moves changes from child revisions into the parent revisions they logically belong to. It detects which changes should have been made in which parent by analyzing the diff.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj absorb
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Runs on `@` by default. Useful when you make a fix that should belong to a lower commit in your stack — instead of manually squashing, `jj absorb` figures out where each hunk belongs.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj parallelize
|
||||
|
||||
Make sibling revisions into a linear chain or vice versa.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj parallelize -r REVS...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Takes a set of revisions and makes them siblings (all children of the same parent), rebasing their descendants as needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj arrange
|
||||
|
||||
Interactive graph rearrangement. Opens a diff editor where you can drag and drop revisions to reorder them. More visual than command-line rebase operations.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj arrange
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## jj diffedit
|
||||
|
||||
Touch up the content changes in a revision. Opens an editor showing the revision's diff and lets you modify it directly.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj diffedit -r REV
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use this when you need to change what a specific revision does, rather than adding a fix on top.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj metaedit
|
||||
|
||||
Modify a revision's metadata (author, author date, committer, description) without changing its content.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj metaedit -r REV
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## jj restack
|
||||
|
||||
This is not a real command — jj restacks automatically. You should never need to manually restack after rebase, squash, etc. If a rebase leaves empty commits, `jj abandon` them.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj squash/absorb vs jj squash
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `jj squash` when you want to explicitly move changes between revisions
|
||||
- Use `jj absorb` when you want jj to figure out where changes belong automatically
|
||||
|
||||
## jj squash vs git commit --amend
|
||||
|
||||
- `jj squash` without arguments is jj's equivalent of `git commit --amend`: it takes `@`'s changes and merges them into `@-`, leaving `@` empty
|
||||
- Unlike git, the old `@`'s change ID still exists (as an empty revision) — you can `jj abandon` it afterwards
|
||||
|
||||
## jj split + jj rebase
|
||||
|
||||
A common pattern: split a large revision into two, then rebase one of them to a different parent:
|
||||
1. `jj split -r BIG_COMMIT` — split into two
|
||||
2. `jj rebase -r NEW_REV -o DIFFERENT_PARENT` — move the new revision elsewhere

# Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
Commands for undoing mistakes, resolving conflicts, and restoring lost work.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj undo
|
||||
|
||||
Undoes the most recent operation. This is the first recovery command to reach for.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj undo # undo last operation
|
||||
jj undo --undo # undo the undo (same as jj redo)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Any operation can be undone — commit, rebase, push, etc. The undo itself creates a new operation, so it can also be undone.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj redo
|
||||
|
||||
Redo the most recently undone operation.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj redo # redo last undo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## jj op log / jj operation
|
||||
|
||||
View the operation log — the history of all jj commands run in this repo. This is jj's equivalent of shell history but tied to repo state.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj op log # show all operations
|
||||
jj op log -n 20 # show last 20 operations
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each operation has an ID (hash). The most recent operation is shown at the top with `@`. The snapshot of the working copy is also an operation.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj op restore
|
||||
|
||||
Restore the repo to a previous state by operation. Unlike `jj undo` (which only undoes the last operation), this can jump to any point in the operation log.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj op restore OP_ID # restore repo to state after OP_ID
|
||||
jj op restore --what undo # restore just the undo history (not working copy)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is *not* a revert — it moves the entire repo state backward (or forward). Changes made after that operation will appear as divergent changes. Use `jj --at-op` for read-only inspection first.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj restore (content restore)
|
||||
|
||||
Restore file contents within a revision. This is NOT the same as `jj op restore`.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj restore # restore all files in @ from its parent
|
||||
jj restore PATH # restore specific files in @ from its parent
|
||||
jj restore --from SOURCE # restore from a specific source revision
|
||||
jj restore --changes-in REV # undo the changes introduced by REV (creates reverse diff on @)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Without `--from`: restores from the parent of the target revision
|
||||
- Without `--into`: restores into `@`
|
||||
- `--changes-in REV` is the closest equivalent to `git revert REV` — it applies the reverse of REV's diff to `@`
|
||||
- `--restore-descendants`: when rebasing descendants, preserve their content (not their diff)
|
||||
|
||||
To "unstage" files (there's no real staging area in jj, but for git users who ask): use `jj restore PATH` to undo changes to specific files in `@`.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj resolve
|
||||
|
||||
Resolve merge conflicts. jj tracks conflicts natively (unlike git, which leaves conflict markers in files and lets you handle them).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj resolve PATH... # resolve conflicts in specific files
|
||||
jj resolve --list # list all unresolved conflicts
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When you run `jj resolve`, jj opens the external merge tool (configured in `merge-tools`). If no tool is configured, it falls back to leaving conflict markers in the file, which you can edit manually.
|
||||
|
||||
After resolving conflicts manually (by editing the file), mark them as resolved with `jj resolve PATH`.
|
||||
|
||||
## jj --at-op (read-only inspection)
|
||||
|
||||
Run any jj command as if the repo were at a past operation. Read-only — useful for inspecting old state before deciding whether to restore.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
jj --at-op OP_ID log # log from past state
|
||||
jj --at-op OP_ID status # status from past state
|
||||
jj --at-op OP_ID diff -r REV # diff from past state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Divergent changes
|
||||
|
||||
When the operation log has diverged (e.g., two concurrent operations), `jj status` will warn about divergent operations. This happens when you run jj commands from different terminals or after `jj op restore`.
|
||||
|
||||
To resolve divergence:
|
||||
1. `jj --at-op OP_ID status` for each divergent operation to understand the state
|
||||
2. `jj op restore` to pick one side
|
||||
3. Or use `jj new` to create a merge of the divergent states
|
||||
|
||||
## Common recovery scenarios
|
||||
|
||||
**"I rebased and lost changes"**
|
||||
- `jj undo` — undoes the rebase
|
||||
- If `jj undo` isn't enough: `jj op log` to find the pre-rebase operation, then `jj op restore OP_ID`
|
||||
|
||||
**"I pushed the wrong thing"**
|
||||
- You can't unpush (remote doesn't support it), but you can:
|
||||
1. Fix the local revision
|
||||
2. `jj bookmark move --to=FIXED BOOKMARK`
|
||||
3. `jj git push --force` or `jj git push` with a new commit
|
||||
|
||||
**"I accidentally squashed the wrong files"**
|
||||
- `jj undo` immediately
|
||||
- If too late: use the operation log to find the pre-squash state
|
||||
|
||||
**"I want to get old version of a file back"**
|
||||
- `jj restore --from OLD_REV PATH` — restore PATH from OLD_REV into `@`
|
||||
- Or: `jj file show -r OLD_REV PATH > PATH` to extract it as a file
|
||||
|
||||
**"jj status shows conflicts"**
|
||||
- `jj resolve --list` to see which files have conflicts
|
||||
- Resolve them individually: `jj resolve PATH`
|
||||
- After resolving all, `jj status` will clear

# shadcn/ui
|
||||
|
||||
A framework for building ui, components and design systems. Components are added as source code to the user's project via the CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
> **IMPORTANT:** Run all CLI commands using the project's package runner: `npx shadcn@latest`, `pnpm dlx shadcn@latest`, or `bunx --bun shadcn@latest` — based on the project's `packageManager`. Examples below use `npx shadcn@latest` but substitute the correct runner for the project.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Project Context
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
!`npx shadcn@latest info --json`
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The JSON above contains the project config and installed components. Use `npx shadcn@latest docs <component>` to get documentation and example URLs for any component.
|
||||
|
||||
## Principles
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Use existing components first.** Use `npx shadcn@latest search` to check registries before writing custom UI. Check community registries too.
|
||||
2. **Compose, don't reinvent.** Settings page = Tabs + Card + form controls. Dashboard = Sidebar + Card + Chart + Table.
|
||||
3. **Use built-in variants before custom styles.** `variant="outline"`, `size="sm"`, etc.
|
||||
4. **Use semantic colors.** `bg-primary`, `text-muted-foreground` — never raw values like `bg-blue-500`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Rules
|
||||
|
||||
These rules are **always enforced**. Each links to a file with Incorrect/Correct code pairs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Styling & Tailwind → [styling.md](./rules/styling.md)
|
||||
|
||||
- **`className` for layout, not styling.** Never override component colors or typography.
|
||||
- **No `space-x-*` or `space-y-*`.** Use `flex` with `gap-*`. For vertical stacks, `flex flex-col gap-*`.
|
||||
- **Use `size-*` when width and height are equal.** `size-10` not `w-10 h-10`.
|
||||
- **Use `truncate` shorthand.** Not `overflow-hidden text-ellipsis whitespace-nowrap`.
|
||||
- **No manual `dark:` color overrides.** Use semantic tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`).
|
||||
- **Use `cn()` for conditional classes.** Don't write manual template literal ternaries.
|
||||
- **No manual `z-index` on overlay components.** Dialog, Sheet, Popover, etc. handle their own stacking.
|
||||
|
||||
### Forms & Inputs → [forms.md](./rules/forms.md)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Forms use `FieldGroup` + `Field`.** Never use raw `div` with `space-y-*` or `grid gap-*` for form layout.
|
||||
- **`InputGroup` uses `InputGroupInput`/`InputGroupTextarea`.** Never raw `Input`/`Textarea` inside `InputGroup`.
|
||||
- **Buttons inside inputs use `InputGroup` + `InputGroupAddon`.**
|
||||
- **Option sets (2–7 choices) use `ToggleGroup`.** Don't loop `Button` with manual active state.
|
||||
- **`FieldSet` + `FieldLegend` for grouping related checkboxes/radios.** Don't use a `div` with a heading.
|
||||
- **Field validation uses `data-invalid` + `aria-invalid`.** `data-invalid` on `Field`, `aria-invalid` on the control. For disabled: `data-disabled` on `Field`, `disabled` on the control.
|
||||
|
||||
### Component Structure → [composition.md](./rules/composition.md)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Items always inside their Group.** `SelectItem` → `SelectGroup`. `DropdownMenuItem` → `DropdownMenuGroup`. `CommandItem` → `CommandGroup`.
|
||||
- **Use `asChild` (radix) or `render` (base) for custom triggers.** Check `base` field from `npx shadcn@latest info`. → [base-vs-radix.md](./rules/base-vs-radix.md)
|
||||
- **Dialog, Sheet, and Drawer always need a Title.** `DialogTitle`, `SheetTitle`, `DrawerTitle` required for accessibility. Use `className="sr-only"` if visually hidden.
|
||||
- **Use full Card composition.** `CardHeader`/`CardTitle`/`CardDescription`/`CardContent`/`CardFooter`. Don't dump everything in `CardContent`.
|
||||
- **Button has no `isPending`/`isLoading`.** Compose with `Spinner` + `data-icon` + `disabled`.
|
||||
- **`TabsTrigger` must be inside `TabsList`.** Never render triggers directly in `Tabs`.
|
||||
- **`Avatar` always needs `AvatarFallback`.** For when the image fails to load.
|
||||
|
||||
### Use Components, Not Custom Markup → [composition.md](./rules/composition.md)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Use existing components before custom markup.** Check if a component exists before writing a styled `div`.
|
||||
- **Callouts use `Alert`.** Don't build custom styled divs.
|
||||
- **Empty states use `Empty`.** Don't build custom empty state markup.
|
||||
- **Toast follows the project base.** Use `toast` from the `toast` component for
|
||||
Base UI projects. Use `toast()` from `sonner` for Radix and React Aria
|
||||
projects.
|
||||
- **Use `Separator`** instead of `<hr>` or `<div className="border-t">`.
|
||||
- **Use `Skeleton`** for loading placeholders. No custom `animate-pulse` divs.
|
||||
- **Use `Badge`** instead of custom styled spans.
|
||||
|
||||
### Icons → [icons.md](./rules/icons.md)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Icons in `Button` use `data-icon`.** `data-icon="inline-start"` or `data-icon="inline-end"` on the icon.
|
||||
- **No sizing classes on icons inside components.** Components handle icon sizing via CSS. No `size-4` or `w-4 h-4`.
|
||||
- **Pass icons as objects, not string keys.** `icon={CheckIcon}`, not a string lookup.
|
||||
|
||||
### Chat & Messaging → [chat.md](./rules/chat.md)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Chat UI composes the chat primitives.** Conversations use `MessageScroller`, rows use `Message`, surfaces use `Bubble`. Never hand-rolled bubble `div`s or a raw scroll container.
|
||||
- **`MessageScroller` owns scroll behavior.** Streaming follow, anchoring, and jump-to-latest (`MessageScrollerButton`) are built in. Don't write a `useStickToBottom`/`ResizeObserver` hook.
|
||||
- **Attachments use `Attachment`; system notes and dividers use `Marker`.** Not `Item` cards or `Separator` + a label.
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI
|
||||
|
||||
- **Never decode preset codes or build preset URLs manually.** Use `npx shadcn@latest preset decode <code>`, `preset url <code>`, or `preset open <code>`. For project-aware preset detection, use `npx shadcn@latest preset resolve`.
|
||||
- **Apply preset codes directly with the CLI.** Use `npx shadcn@latest apply <code>` for existing projects, or `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code>` when initializing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
These are the most common patterns that differentiate correct shadcn/ui code. For edge cases, see the linked rule files above.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Form layout: FieldGroup + Field, not div + Label.
|
||||
<FieldGroup>
|
||||
<Field>
|
||||
<FieldLabel htmlFor="email">Email</FieldLabel>
|
||||
<Input id="email" />
|
||||
</Field>
|
||||
</FieldGroup>
|
||||
|
||||
// Validation: data-invalid on Field, aria-invalid on the control.
|
||||
<Field data-invalid>
|
||||
<FieldLabel>Email</FieldLabel>
|
||||
<Input aria-invalid />
|
||||
<FieldDescription>Invalid email.</FieldDescription>
|
||||
</Field>
|
||||
|
||||
// Icons in buttons: data-icon, no sizing classes.
|
||||
<Button>
|
||||
<SearchIcon data-icon="inline-start" />
|
||||
Search
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
|
||||
// Spacing: gap-*, not space-y-*.
|
||||
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4"> // correct
|
||||
<div className="space-y-4"> // wrong
|
||||
|
||||
// Equal dimensions: size-*, not w-* h-*.
|
||||
<Avatar className="size-10"> // correct
|
||||
<Avatar className="w-10 h-10"> // wrong
|
||||
|
||||
// Status colors: Badge variants or semantic tokens, not raw colors.
|
||||
<Badge variant="secondary">+20.1%</Badge> // correct
|
||||
<span className="text-emerald-600">+20.1%</span> // wrong
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Selection
|
||||
|
||||
| Need | Use |
|
||||
| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Button/action | `Button` with appropriate variant |
|
||||
| Form inputs | `Input`, `Select`, `Combobox`, `Switch`, `Checkbox`, `RadioGroup`, `Textarea`, `InputOTP`, `Slider` |
|
||||
| Toggle between 2–5 options | `ToggleGroup` + `ToggleGroupItem` |
|
||||
| Data display | `Table`, `Card`, `Badge`, `Avatar` |
|
||||
| Navigation | `Sidebar`, `NavigationMenu`, `Breadcrumb`, `Tabs`, `Pagination` |
|
||||
| Overlays | `Dialog` (modal), `Sheet` (side panel), `Drawer` (bottom sheet), `AlertDialog` (confirmation) |
|
||||
| Feedback | `toast` (Base UI), `sonner` (Radix/Aria), `Alert`, `Progress`, `Skeleton`, `Spinner` |
|
||||
| Command palette | `Command` inside `Dialog` |
|
||||
| Charts | `Chart` (wraps Recharts) |
|
||||
| Layout | `Card`, `Separator`, `Resizable`, `ScrollArea`, `Accordion`, `Collapsible` |
|
||||
| Empty states | `Empty` |
|
||||
| Menus | `DropdownMenu`, `ContextMenu`, `Menubar` |
|
||||
| Tooltips/info | `Tooltip`, `HoverCard`, `Popover` |
|
||||
| Chat / conversation UI | `MessageScroller`, `Message`, `Bubble`, `Attachment`, `Marker` |
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Fields
|
||||
|
||||
The injected project context contains these key fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- **`aliases`** → use the actual alias prefix for imports (e.g. `@/`, `~/`), never hardcode.
|
||||
- **`isRSC`** → when `true`, components using `useState`, `useEffect`, event handlers, or browser APIs need `"use client"` at the top of the file. Always reference this field when advising on the directive.
|
||||
- **`tailwindVersion`** → `"v4"` uses `@theme inline` blocks; `"v3"` uses `tailwind.config.js`.
|
||||
- **`tailwindCssFile`** → the global CSS file where custom CSS variables are defined. Always edit this file, never create a new one.
|
||||
- **`style`** → component visual treatment (e.g. `nova`, `vega`).
|
||||
- **`base`** → primitive library (`radix` or `base`). Affects component APIs and available props.
|
||||
- **`iconLibrary`** → determines icon imports. Use `lucide-react` for `lucide`, `@tabler/icons-react` for `tabler`, etc. Never assume `lucide-react`.
|
||||
- **`resolvedPaths`** → exact file-system destinations for components, utils, hooks, etc.
|
||||
- **`framework`** → routing and file conventions (e.g. Next.js App Router vs Vite SPA).
|
||||
- **`packageManager`** → use this for any non-shadcn dependency installs (e.g. `pnpm add date-fns` vs `npm install date-fns`).
|
||||
- **`preset`** → resolved preset code and values for the current project. Use `npx shadcn@latest preset resolve --json` when you only need preset information.
|
||||
|
||||
See [cli.md — `info` command](./cli.md) for the full field reference.
|
||||
|
||||
## Component Docs, Examples, and Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Run `npx shadcn@latest docs <component>` to get the URLs for a component's documentation, examples, and API reference. Fetch these URLs to get the actual content.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest docs button dialog select
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When creating, fixing, debugging, or using a component, always run `npx shadcn@latest docs` and fetch the URLs first.** This ensures you're working with the correct API and usage patterns rather than guessing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Get project context** — already injected above. Run `npx shadcn@latest info` again if you need to refresh.
|
||||
2. **Check installed components first** — before running `add`, always check the `components` list from project context or list the `resolvedPaths.ui` directory. Don't import components that haven't been added, and don't re-add ones already installed.
|
||||
3. **Find components** — `npx shadcn@latest search`.
|
||||
4. **Get docs and examples** — run `npx shadcn@latest docs <component>` to get URLs, then fetch them. Use `npx shadcn@latest view` to browse registry items you haven't installed. To preview changes to installed components, use `npx shadcn@latest add --diff`.
|
||||
5. **Install or update** — `npx shadcn@latest add`. When updating existing components, use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to preview changes first (see [Updating Components](#updating-components) below).
|
||||
6. **Fix imports in third-party components** — After adding components from community registries (e.g. `@bundui`, `@magicui`), check the added non-UI files for hardcoded import paths like `@/components/ui/...`. These won't match the project's actual aliases. Use `npx shadcn@latest info` to get the correct `ui` alias (e.g. `@workspace/ui/components`) and rewrite the imports accordingly. The CLI rewrites imports for its own UI files, but third-party registry components may use default paths that don't match the project.
|
||||
7. **Review added components** — After adding a component or block from any registry, **always read the added files and verify they are correct**. Check for missing sub-components (e.g. `SelectItem` without `SelectGroup`), missing imports, incorrect composition, or violations of the [Critical Rules](#critical-rules). Also replace any icon imports with the project's `iconLibrary` from the project context (e.g. if the registry item uses `lucide-react` but the project uses `hugeicons`, swap the imports and icon names accordingly). Fix all issues before moving on.
|
||||
8. **Registry must be explicit** — When the user asks to add a block or component, **do not guess the registry**. If no registry is specified (e.g. user says "add a login block" without specifying `@shadcn`, `@tailark`, `owner/repo`, etc.), ask which registry to use. Never default to a registry on behalf of the user.
|
||||
9. **Switching presets** — Ask the user first: **overwrite**, **partial**, **merge**, or **skip**?
|
||||
- **Inspect current preset**: `npx shadcn@latest preset resolve`. Use `--json` when you need structured values.
|
||||
- **Inspect incoming preset**: `npx shadcn@latest preset decode <code>`. Use `preset url <code>` or `preset open <code>` to share or open the preset builder.
|
||||
- **Overwrite**: `npx shadcn@latest apply <code>`. Overwrites detected components, fonts, and CSS variables.
|
||||
- **Partial**: `npx shadcn@latest apply <code> --only theme,font`. Updates only the selected preset parts without reinstalling UI components. Supported values are `theme` and `font`; comma-separated combinations are allowed. `icon` is intentionally not supported, because icon changes may require full component reinstall and transforms.
|
||||
- **Merge**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`, then run `npx shadcn@latest info` to list installed components, then for each installed component use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to [smart merge](#updating-components) it individually.
|
||||
- **Skip**: `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`. Only updates config and CSS, leaves components as-is.
|
||||
- **Important**: Always run preset commands inside the user's project directory. `apply` only works in an existing project with a `components.json` file. The CLI automatically preserves the current base (`base` vs `radix`) from `components.json`. If you must use a scratch/temp directory (e.g. for `--dry-run` comparisons), pass `--base <current-base>` explicitly — preset codes do not encode the base.
|
||||
|
||||
## Updating Components
|
||||
|
||||
When the user asks to update a component from upstream while keeping their local changes, use `--dry-run` and `--diff` to intelligently merge. **NEVER fetch raw files from GitHub manually — always use the CLI.**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Run `npx shadcn@latest add <component> --dry-run` to see all files that would be affected.
|
||||
2. For each file, run `npx shadcn@latest add <component> --diff <file>` to see what changed upstream vs local.
|
||||
3. Decide per file based on the diff:
|
||||
- No local changes → safe to overwrite.
|
||||
- Has local changes → read the local file, analyze the diff, and apply upstream updates while preserving local modifications.
|
||||
- User says "just update everything" → use `--overwrite`, but confirm first.
|
||||
4. **Never use `--overwrite` without the user's explicit approval.**
|
||||
|
||||

# shadcn CLI Reference
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration is read from `components.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
> **IMPORTANT:** Always run commands using the project's package runner: `npx shadcn@latest`, `pnpm dlx shadcn@latest`, or `bunx --bun shadcn@latest`. Check `packageManager` from project context to choose the right one. Examples below use `npx shadcn@latest` but substitute the correct runner for the project.
|
||||
|
||||
> **IMPORTANT:** Only use the flags documented below. Do not invent or guess flags — if a flag isn't listed here, it doesn't exist. The CLI auto-detects the package manager from the project's lockfile; there is no `--package-manager` flag.
|
||||
|
||||
## Contents
|
||||
|
||||
- Commands: init, apply, add (dry-run, smart merge), search, view, docs, info, build
|
||||
- Templates: next, vite, start, react-router, astro
|
||||
- Presets: named, code, URL formats and fields
|
||||
- Switching presets

|
||||
### `apply` — Apply a preset to an existing project
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest apply [preset] [options]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Applies a preset to an existing project, overwriting preset-driven config, fonts, CSS variables, and detected UI components.
|
||||
|
||||
| Flag | Short | Description | Default |
|
||||
| ------------------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------ | ------- |
|
||||
| `--preset <preset>` | — | Preset configuration (named, code, or URL) | — |
|
||||
| `--yes` | `-y` | Skip confirmation prompt | `false` |
|
||||
| `--cwd <cwd>` | `-c` | Working directory | current |
|
||||
| `--silent` | `-s` | Mute output | `false` |
|
||||
|
||||
`[preset]` is a shorthand for `--preset <preset>`. If both are provided, they must match.
|
||||
If no preset is provided, the CLI offers to open the custom preset builder on `ui.shadcn.com/create`.
|
||||
|
||||
### `add` — Add components
|
||||
|
||||
> **IMPORTANT:** To compare local components against upstream or to preview changes, ALWAYS use `npx shadcn@latest add <component> --dry-run`, `--diff`, or `--view`. NEVER fetch raw files from GitHub or other sources manually. The CLI handles registry resolution, file paths, and CSS diffing automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add [components...] [options]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Accepts component names, registry-prefixed names (`@magicui/shimmer-button`),
|
||||
GitHub item addresses (`owner/repo/item`), URLs, or local paths.
|
||||
|
||||
| Flag | Short | Description | Default |
|
||||
| --------------- | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
|
||||
| `--yes` | `-y` | Skip confirmation prompt | `false` |
|
||||
| `--overwrite` | `-o` | Overwrite existing files | `false` |
|
||||
| `--cwd <cwd>` | `-c` | Working directory | current |
|
||||
| `--all` | `-a` | Add all available components | `false` |
|
||||
| `--path <path>` | `-p` | Target path for the component | — |
|
||||
| `--silent` | `-s` | Mute output | `false` |
|
||||
| `--dry-run` | | Preview all changes without writing files | `false` |
|
||||
| `--diff [path]` | | Show diffs. Without a path, shows the first 5 files. With a path, shows that file only (implies `--dry-run`) | — |
|
||||
| `--view [path]` | | Show file contents. Without a path, shows the first 5 files. With a path, shows that file only (implies `--dry-run`) | — |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Dry-Run Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--dry-run` to preview what `add` would do without writing any files. `--diff` and `--view` both imply `--dry-run`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Preview all changes.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --dry-run
|
||||
|
||||
# Show diffs for all files (top 5).
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --diff
|
||||
|
||||
# Show the diff for a specific file.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --diff button.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
# Show contents for all files (top 5).
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --view
|
||||
|
||||
# Show the full content of a specific file.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --view button.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
# Works with URLs too.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add https://api.npoint.io/abc123 --dry-run
|
||||
|
||||
# Works with public GitHub registries too.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add owner/repo/item --dry-run
|
||||
|
||||
# CSS diffs.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --diff globals.css
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use dry-run:**
|
||||
|
||||
- When the user asks "what files will this add?" or "what will this change?" — use `--dry-run`.
|
||||
- Before overwriting existing components — use `--diff` to preview the changes first.
|
||||
- When the user wants to inspect component source code without installing — use `--view`.
|
||||
- When checking what CSS changes would be made to `globals.css` — use `--diff globals.css`.
|
||||
- When the user asks to review or audit third-party registry code before installing — use `--view` to inspect the source.
|
||||
|
||||
> **`npx shadcn@latest add --dry-run` vs `npx shadcn@latest view`:** Prefer `npx shadcn@latest add --dry-run/--diff/--view` over `npx shadcn@latest view` when the user wants to preview changes to their project. `npx shadcn@latest view` only shows raw registry metadata. `npx shadcn@latest add --dry-run` shows exactly what would happen in the user's project: resolved file paths, diffs against existing files, and CSS updates. Use `npx shadcn@latest view` only when the user wants to browse registry info without a project context.

||||
|
||||
#### Smart Merge from Upstream
|
||||
|
||||
See [Updating Components in SKILL.md](./SKILL.md#updating-components) for the full workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
### `search` — Search registries
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest search [registries...] [options]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Fuzzy search across registries. Also aliased as `npx shadcn@latest list`.
|
||||
Supports namespaces (`@acme`), public GitHub registry sources (`owner/repo`),
|
||||
and registry catalog URLs. Without `-q`, lists all items. When no registries are
|
||||
passed, searches every registry configured in `components.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
| Flag | Short | Description | Default |
|
||||
| ------------------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
|
||||
| `--query <query>` | `-q` | Search query | — |
|
||||
| `--type <type>` | `-t` | Filter by item type (e.g. `ui`, `block`, `hook`); comma-separated | — |
|
||||
| `--limit <number>` | `-l` | Max items to display | `100` |
|
||||
| `--offset <number>` | `-o` | Items to skip | `0` |
|
||||
| `--json` | | Output as JSON | `false` |
|
||||
| `--cwd <cwd>` | `-c` | Working directory | current |
|
||||
|
||||
### `view` — View item details
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest view <items...> [options]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Displays item info including file contents. Examples:
|
||||
`npx shadcn@latest view @shadcn/button`,
|
||||
`npx shadcn@latest view owner/repo/item`.
|
||||
|
||||
### `docs` — Get component documentation URLs
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest docs <components...> [options]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Outputs resolved URLs for component documentation, examples, and API references. Accepts one or more component names. Fetch the URLs to get the actual content.
|
||||
|
||||
Example output for `npx shadcn@latest docs input button`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
base radix
|
||||
|
||||
input
|
||||
docs https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/components/radix/input
|
||||
examples https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../examples/input-example.tsx
|
||||
|
||||
button
|
||||
docs https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/components/radix/button
|
||||
examples https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../examples/button-example.tsx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Some components include an `api` link to the underlying library (e.g. `cmdk` for the command component).
|
||||
|
||||
### `diff` — Check for updates
|
||||
|
||||
Do not use this command. Use `npx shadcn@latest add --diff` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### `info` — Project information
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest info [options]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Displays project info and `components.json` configuration. Run this first to discover the project's framework, aliases, Tailwind version, and resolved paths.

|
||||
|
||||

| `react-router` | React Router | Yes |
|
||||
| `astro` | Astro | Yes |
|
||||
| `laravel` | Laravel | No |
|
||||
|
||||
All templates support monorepo scaffolding via the `--monorepo` flag. When passed, the CLI uses a monorepo-specific template directory (e.g. `next-monorepo`, `vite-monorepo`). When neither `--monorepo` nor `--no-monorepo` is passed, the CLI prompts interactively. Laravel does not support monorepo scaffolding.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Presets
|
||||
|
||||
Three ways to specify a preset via `--preset`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Named:** `--preset nova` or `--preset lyra`
|
||||
2. **Code:** `--preset a2r6bw` (version-prefixed base62 string, e.g. `a2r6bw` or `b0`)
|
||||
3. **URL:** `--preset "https://ui.shadcn.com/init?base=radix&style=nova&..."`
|
||||
|
||||
> **IMPORTANT:** Never try to decode, fetch, or resolve preset codes manually. Preset codes are opaque — pass them directly to `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code>` and let the CLI handle resolution.
|
||||
> Use `npx shadcn@latest apply --preset <code>` when overwriting an existing project's preset.
|
||||
|
||||
## Switching Presets
|
||||
|
||||
Ask the user first: **overwrite**, **merge**, or **skip** existing components?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Overwrite / Re-install** → `npx shadcn@latest apply --preset <code>`. Overwrites all detected component files with the new preset styles. Use when the user hasn't customized components.
|
||||
- **Merge** → `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`, then run `npx shadcn@latest info` to get the list of installed components and use the [smart merge workflow](./SKILL.md#updating-components) to update them one by one, preserving local changes. Use when the user has customized components.
|
||||
- **Skip** → `npx shadcn@latest init --preset <code> --force --no-reinstall`. Only updates config and CSS variables, leaves existing components as-is.
|
||||
|
||||
Always run preset commands inside the user's project directory. `apply` only works in an existing project with a `components.json` file. The CLI automatically preserves the current base (`base` vs `radix`) from `components.json`. If you must use a scratch/temp directory (e.g. for `--dry-run` comparisons), pass `--base <current-base>` explicitly — preset codes do not encode the base.

# Customization & Theming
|
||||
|
||||
Components reference semantic CSS variable tokens. Change the variables to change every component.

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. CSS variables defined in `:root` (light) and `.dark` (dark mode).
|
||||
2. Tailwind maps them to utilities: `bg-primary`, `text-muted-foreground`, etc.
|
||||
3. Components use these utilities — changing a variable changes all components that reference it.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Color Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Every color follows the `name` / `name-foreground` convention. The base variable is for backgrounds, `-foreground` is for text/icons on that background.
|
||||
|
||||
| Variable | Purpose |
|
||||
| -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `--background` / `--foreground` | Page background and default text |
|
||||
| `--card` / `--card-foreground` | Card surfaces |
|
||||
| `--primary` / `--primary-foreground` | Primary buttons and actions |
|
||||
| `--secondary` / `--secondary-foreground` | Secondary actions |
|
||||
| `--muted` / `--muted-foreground` | Muted/disabled states |
|
||||
| `--accent` / `--accent-foreground` | Hover and accent states |
|
||||
| `--destructive` / `--destructive-foreground` | Error and destructive actions |
|
||||
| `--border` | Default border color |
|
||||
| `--input` | Form input borders |
|
||||
| `--ring` | Focus ring color |
|
||||
| `--chart-1` through `--chart-5` | Chart/data visualization |
|
||||
| `--sidebar-*` | Sidebar-specific colors |
|
||||
| `--surface` / `--surface-foreground` | Secondary surface |
|
||||
|
||||
Colors use OKLCH: `--primary: oklch(0.205 0 0)` where values are lightness (0–1), chroma (0 = gray), and hue (0–360).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Dark Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Class-based toggle via `.dark` on the root element. In Next.js, use `next-themes`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { ThemeProvider } from "next-themes"
|
||||
|
||||
<ThemeProvider attribute="class" defaultTheme="system" enableSystem>
|
||||
{children}
|
||||
</ThemeProvider>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Changing the Theme
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Apply a preset code from ui.shadcn.com.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest apply --preset a2r6bw
|
||||
|
||||
# Positional shorthand also works.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest apply a2r6bw
|
||||
|
||||
# Switch to a named preset and overwrite existing components.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest apply --preset nova
|
||||
|
||||
# Preserve existing components instead.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest init --preset nova --force --no-reinstall
|
||||
|
||||
# Use a custom theme URL.
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest apply --preset "https://ui.shadcn.com/init?base=radix&style=nova&theme=blue&..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or edit CSS variables directly in `globals.css`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding Custom Colors
|
||||
|
||||
Add variables to the file at `tailwindCssFile` from `npx shadcn@latest info` (typically `globals.css`). Never create a new CSS file for this.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* 1. Define in the global CSS file. */
|
||||
:root {
|
||||
--warning: oklch(0.84 0.16 84);
|
||||
--warning-foreground: oklch(0.28 0.07 46);
|
||||
}
|
||||
.dark {
|
||||
--warning: oklch(0.41 0.11 46);
|
||||
--warning-foreground: oklch(0.99 0.02 95);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* 2a. Register with Tailwind v4 (@theme inline). */
|
||||
@theme inline {
|
||||
--color-warning: var(--warning);
|
||||
--color-warning-foreground: var(--warning-foreground);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When `tailwindVersion` is `"v3"` (check via `npx shadcn@latest info`), register in `tailwind.config.js` instead:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// 2b. Register with Tailwind v3 (tailwind.config.js).
|
||||
module.exports = {
|
||||
theme: {
|
||||
extend: {
|
||||
colors: {
|
||||
warning: "oklch(var(--warning) / <alpha-value>)",
|
||||
"warning-foreground":
|
||||
"oklch(var(--warning-foreground) / <alpha-value>)",
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// 3. Use in components.
|
||||
<div className="bg-warning text-warning-foreground">Warning</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Border Radius
|
||||
|
||||
`--radius` controls border radius globally. Components derive values from it (`rounded-lg` = `var(--radius)`, `rounded-md` = `calc(var(--radius) - 2px)`).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Customizing Components
|
||||
|
||||
See also: [rules/styling.md](./rules/styling.md) for Incorrect/Correct examples.
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer these approaches in order:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Built-in variants
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button variant="outline" size="sm">
|
||||
Click
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Tailwind classes via `className`
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Card className="mx-auto max-w-md">...</Card>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Add a new variant
|
||||
|
||||
Edit the component source to add a variant via `cva`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// components/ui/button.tsx
|
||||
warning: "bg-warning text-warning-foreground hover:bg-warning/90",
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Wrapper components
|
||||
|
||||
Compose shadcn/ui primitives into higher-level components:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
export function ConfirmDialog({ title, description, onConfirm, children }) {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<AlertDialog>
|
||||
<AlertDialogTrigger asChild>{children}</AlertDialogTrigger>
|
||||
<AlertDialogContent>
|
||||
<AlertDialogHeader>
|
||||
<AlertDialogTitle>{title}</AlertDialogTitle>
|
||||
<AlertDialogDescription>{description}</AlertDialogDescription>
|
||||
</AlertDialogHeader>
|
||||
<AlertDialogFooter>
|
||||
<AlertDialogCancel>Cancel</AlertDialogCancel>
|
||||
<AlertDialogAction onClick={onConfirm}>Confirm</AlertDialogAction>
|
||||
</AlertDialogFooter>
|
||||
</AlertDialogContent>
|
||||
</AlertDialog>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Checking for Updates
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --diff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To preview exactly what would change before updating, use `--dry-run` and `--diff`:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --dry-run # see all affected files
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add button --diff button.tsx # see the diff for a specific file
|
||||

# shadcn MCP Server
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI includes an MCP server that lets AI assistants search, browse, view, and install items from registries.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
shadcn mcp # start the MCP server (stdio)
|
||||
shadcn mcp init # write config for your editor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Editor config files:
|
||||
|
||||
| Editor | Config file |
|
||||
| ----------- | ------------------------------- |
|
||||
| Claude Code | `.mcp.json` |
|
||||
| Cursor | `.cursor/mcp.json` |
|
||||
| VS Code | `.vscode/mcp.json` |
|
||||
| OpenCode | `opencode.json` |
|
||||
| Codex | `~/.codex/config.toml` (manual) |
|
||||

||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Tools
|
||||
|
||||
> **Tip:** MCP tools handle registry operations (search, view, install). For project configuration (aliases, framework, Tailwind version), use `npx shadcn@latest info` — there is no MCP equivalent.
|
||||
|
||||
### `shadcn:get_project_registries`
|
||||
|
||||
Returns registry names from `components.json`. Errors if no `components.json` exists.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** none
|
||||
|
||||
### `shadcn:list_items_in_registries`
|
||||
|
||||
Lists all items from one or more registries. Registries can be configured
|
||||
namespaces such as `@acme`, public GitHub sources such as `owner/repo`, or
|
||||
registry catalog URLs. Omit `registries` to list from every registry configured
|
||||
in `components.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** `registries` (string[], optional — omit for all configured), `types` (string[], optional — e.g. `["ui", "block"]`), `limit` (number, optional, defaults to 100), `offset` (number, optional)
|
||||
|
||||
### `shadcn:search_items_in_registries`
|
||||
|
||||
Fuzzy search across registries. Registries can be configured namespaces, public
|
||||
GitHub sources, or registry catalog URLs. Omit `registries` to search every
|
||||
registry configured in `components.json` — e.g. "find me a hero" across all
|
||||
configured registries.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** `registries` (string[], optional — omit for all configured), `query` (string), `types` (string[], optional — e.g. `["ui", "block"]`), `limit` (number, optional, defaults to 100), `offset` (number, optional)
|
||||
|
||||
### `shadcn:view_items_in_registries`
|
||||
|
||||
View item details including full file contents.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** `items` (string[]) — e.g.
|
||||
`["@shadcn/button", "@shadcn/card", "owner/repo/item"]`
|
||||
|
||||
### `shadcn:get_item_examples_from_registries`
|
||||
|
||||
Find usage examples and demos with source code. Omit `registries` to search
|
||||
every registry configured in `components.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** `registries` (string[], optional — omit for all configured), `query` (string) — e.g. `"accordion-demo"`, `"button example"`
|
||||
|
||||
### `shadcn:get_add_command_for_items`
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the CLI install command.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** `items` (string[]) — e.g. `["@shadcn/button"]`
|
||||
|
||||
### `shadcn:get_audit_checklist`
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a checklist for verifying components (imports, deps, lint, TypeScript).
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** none
|
||||

## Configuring Registries
|
||||
|
||||
Namespaced and authenticated registries are set in `components.json`. The
|
||||
`@shadcn` registry is always built-in. Public GitHub registries can also be used
|
||||
directly as `owner/repo` registry sources when the repository has a root
|
||||
`registry.json`; they do not need `components.json` configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"registries": {
|
||||
"@acme": "https://acme.com/r/{name}.json",
|
||||
"@private": {
|
||||
"url": "https://private.com/r/{name}.json",
|
||||
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${MY_TOKEN}" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Names must start with `@`.
|
||||
- URLs must contain `{name}`.
|
||||
- `${VAR}` references are resolved from environment variables.

# Registry Authoring and Addresses
|
||||
|
||||
Use this reference when the user wants to create, fix, publish, or reason about
|
||||
a shadcn registry.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mental Model
|
||||
|
||||
A registry has two forms:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Source registry**: an authored `registry.json` in a project or repository.
|
||||
It may use `include` and file paths that point at source files.
|
||||
- **Built registry**: generated JSON files served to CLI consumers, usually
|
||||
from `public/r`. Use `npx shadcn@latest build` to create this form.
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI installer consumes registry item payloads. A source registry is a way to
|
||||
author those payloads from real files.
|
||||
|
||||
Registry items are not limited to React components. They can distribute
|
||||
components, hooks, utilities, design tokens, pages, config files, docs, rules,
|
||||
workflows, templates, MCP files, and other project files.
|
||||
|
||||
## Root `registry.json`
|
||||
|
||||
The root registry file should define registry metadata and either `items` or
|
||||
`include`.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema/registry.json",
|
||||
"name": "acme",
|
||||
"homepage": "https://acme.com",
|
||||
"items": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "absolute-url",
|
||||
"type": "registry:lib",
|
||||
"title": "Absolute URL",
|
||||
"description": "A utility to turn any path into an absolute URL.",
|
||||
"files": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"path": "lib/absolute-url.ts",
|
||||
"type": "registry:lib"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Root registry rules:
|
||||
|
||||
- Root `registry.json` must include `name` and `homepage`.
|
||||
- `items` is an array of registry item definitions.
|
||||
- `include` may be used to split the source registry into multiple files.
|
||||
- Included registry files may omit `name` and `homepage`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Include
|
||||
|
||||
Use `include` to keep large registries modular.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"$schema": "https://ui.shadcn.com/schema/registry.json",
|
||||
"name": "acme",
|
||||
"homepage": "https://acme.com",
|
||||
"include": ["registry/ui/registry.json", "registry/blocks/registry.json"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Include rules:
|
||||
|
||||
- Include paths are relative to the `registry.json` that declares them.
|
||||
- Include paths must explicitly point to a `registry.json` file.
|
||||
- Do not use remote URLs, absolute paths, or parent traversal (`..`).
|
||||
- Item file paths are relative to the registry file that declares the item.
|
||||
- Duplicate item names fail across the resolved registry.
|
||||
|
||||
Example included file:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"items": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "button",
|
||||
"type": "registry:ui",
|
||||
"files": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"path": "button.tsx",
|
||||
"type": "registry:ui"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If this file is at `registry/ui/registry.json`, then `button.tsx` is read from
|
||||
`registry/ui/button.tsx`, and the built item path is emitted relative to the
|
||||
root registry.
|
||||
|
||||
## Item Definitions
|
||||
|
||||
Common item fields:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "login-form",
|
||||
"type": "registry:block",
|
||||
"title": "Login Form",
|
||||
"description": "A login form with email and password fields.",
|
||||
"dependencies": ["zod"],
|
||||
"registryDependencies": ["button", "input", "label"],
|
||||
"files": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"path": "blocks/login-form.tsx",
|
||||
"type": "registry:block"
|
||||
}
|
||||
],
|
||||
"cssVars": {
|
||||
"light": {
|
||||
"brand": "oklch(0.62 0.18 250)"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"dark": {
|
||||
"brand": "oklch(0.72 0.16 250)"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Important fields:
|
||||
|
||||
- `name`: the installable item name. It is not necessarily a file path.
|
||||
- `type`: one of the registry item types, such as `registry:ui`,
|
||||
`registry:block`, `registry:lib`, `registry:hook`, `registry:file`,
|
||||
`registry:page`, `registry:theme`, `registry:style`, `registry:font`, or
|
||||
`registry:item`.
|
||||
- `files`: source files copied or generated by the item.
|
||||
- `dependencies`: npm runtime dependencies.
|
||||
- `devDependencies`: npm development dependencies.
|
||||
- `registryDependencies`: other registry items required by this item.
|
||||
- `cssVars`, `css`, `tailwind`, `envVars`, and `docs`: optional install-time
|
||||
additions.
|
||||
|
||||
File rules:
|
||||
|
||||
- File paths are relative to the declaring `registry.json`.
|
||||
- `registry:file` and `registry:page` files require a `target`.
|
||||
- Do not use remote file URLs in source registry file paths.
|
||||
- Keep source files copy-pasteable: no hidden app-only imports.
|
||||
|
||||
## Registry Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
`registryDependencies` entries are item addresses, not file paths.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "login-form",
|
||||
"type": "registry:block",
|
||||
"registryDependencies": ["button", "@acme/input", "acme/ui/card#v1.2.0"],
|
||||
"files": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"path": "blocks/login-form.tsx",
|
||||
"type": "registry:block"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Dependency rules:
|
||||
|
||||
- Bare names such as `"button"` mean official shadcn items.
|
||||
- Bare names never mean same-registry or same-repository items.
|
||||
- Namespaced dependencies use `@namespace/item-name`.
|
||||
- GitHub dependencies use `owner/repo/item-name`.
|
||||
- Pin GitHub dependencies with `owner/repo/item-name#ref` when needed.
|
||||
- Refs are not inherited. If `owner/repo/foo#v2` depends on `bar` from the same
|
||||
repo at `v2`, write `owner/repo/bar#v2`.
|
||||
- Do not use relative dependencies such as `"./bar"`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Address Schemes
|
||||
|
||||
When reasoning about a registry item string, classify it first.
|
||||
|
||||
| Address | Scheme | Meaning |
|
||||
| ----------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `button` | shadcn | Official shadcn item named `button`. |
|
||||
| `@acme/button` | namespace | Item `button` from configured registry `@acme`. |
|
||||
| `@acme/ui/button` | namespace | Item `ui/button` from configured registry `@acme`. |
|
||||
| `https://example.com/r/button.json` | url | Built registry item JSON at that URL. |
|
||||
| `./button.json` | file | Built registry item JSON on disk. |
|
||||
| `acme/ui/button` | github | Item `button` from GitHub repo `acme/ui`. |
|
||||
| `acme/ui/forms/login#main` | github | Item `forms/login` from GitHub repo `acme/ui` at ref `main`. |
|
||||
|
||||
For namespace and GitHub addresses, slashful item names are allowed and are item
|
||||
names, not file paths. Addresses ending in `.json` keep file-address
|
||||
precedence, so `acme/ui/data/schema.json` is treated as a file path, not a
|
||||
GitHub item address.
|
||||
|
||||
## GitHub Registries
|
||||
|
||||
A public GitHub repository can act as a source registry when it has a root
|
||||
`registry.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
owner/repo/item-name[#ref]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Rules:
|
||||
|
||||
- The first two path segments are GitHub owner and repo.
|
||||
- All remaining path segments are the registry item name.
|
||||
- The source entrypoint is always root `registry.json`.
|
||||
- GitHub registries are source registries consumed directly by the CLI. They do
|
||||
not require `shadcn build` or generated item JSON files.
|
||||
- `include` follows the same source-registry rules as local registries.
|
||||
- Currently, GitHub addresses support public `github.com` repositories only.
|
||||
- Private repos and GitHub Enterprise require explicit product decisions.
|
||||
|
||||
When implementing GitHub registry fetching, resolve refs to a commit SHA before
|
||||
reading source files. Do not read moving refs directly from
|
||||
`raw.githubusercontent.com`, because branch-like refs can be cached for several
|
||||
minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
Preferred flow:
|
||||
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
owner/repo[#ref]
|
||||
-> resolve ref with git ls-remote
|
||||
-> commit SHA
|
||||
-> read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/{owner}/{repo}/{sha}/registry.json
|
||||
-> read includes and item files from the same SHA
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This keeps a command on one consistent repository snapshot.
|
||||
|
||||
Full 40-character commit SHAs are already stable and can be used directly.
|
||||
Branches, tags, and short refs require Git so the CLI can resolve them to a
|
||||
commit SHA first.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build and Verify
|
||||
|
||||
Use the CLI to build source registries:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest build
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest build registry.json --output public/r
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use CLI commands to inspect the result:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest list @acme
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest search @acme -q "login"
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest view @acme/login-form
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add @acme/login-form --dry-run
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest registry validate ./registry.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use GitHub addresses directly for public GitHub registries:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest list owner/repo
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest search owner/repo -q "login"
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest view owner/repo/item
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest add owner/repo/item --dry-run
|
||||
npx shadcn@latest registry validate owner/repo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When working on registry implementation in the shadcn/ui codebase:
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep address parsing pure and testable.
|
||||
- Do not add side effects to validators.
|
||||
- Preserve existing behavior for official shadcn, namespace, URL, and file
|
||||
schemes.
|
||||
- Add tests for address parsing, source loading, dependency resolution, list,
|
||||
search, view, and add paths.
|
||||
- Prefer small source-reader abstractions over a plugin system until there are
|
||||
multiple real providers.

# Base vs Radix
|
||||
|
||||
API differences between `base` and `radix`. Check the `base` field from `npx shadcn@latest info`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Contents
|
||||
|
||||
- Composition: asChild vs render
|
||||
- Button / trigger as non-button element
|
||||
- Select (items prop, placeholder, positioning, multiple, object values)
|
||||
- ToggleGroup (type vs multiple)
|
||||
- Slider (scalar vs array)
|
||||
- Accordion (type and defaultValue)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Composition: asChild (radix) vs render (base)
|
||||
|
||||
Radix uses `asChild` to replace the default element. Base uses `render`. Don't wrap triggers in extra elements.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<DialogTrigger>
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<Button>Open</Button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</DialogTrigger>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (radix):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<DialogTrigger asChild>
|
||||
<Button>Open</Button>
|
||||
</DialogTrigger>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<DialogTrigger render={<Button />}>Open</DialogTrigger>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This applies to all trigger and close components: `DialogTrigger`, `SheetTrigger`, `AlertDialogTrigger`, `DropdownMenuTrigger`, `PopoverTrigger`, `TooltipTrigger`, `CollapsibleTrigger`, `DialogClose`, `SheetClose`, `NavigationMenuLink`, `BreadcrumbLink`, `SidebarMenuButton`, `Badge`, `Item`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Button / trigger as non-button element (base only)
|
||||
|
||||
When `render` changes an element to a non-button (`<a>`, `<span>`), add `nativeButton={false}`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (base):** missing `nativeButton={false}`.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button render={<a href="/docs" />}>Read the docs</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button render={<a href="/docs" />} nativeButton={false}>
|
||||
Read the docs
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (radix):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button asChild>
|
||||
<a href="/docs">Read the docs</a>
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Same for triggers whose `render` is not a `Button`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// base.
|
||||
<PopoverTrigger render={<InputGroupAddon />} nativeButton={false}>
|
||||
Pick date
|
||||
</PopoverTrigger>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Select
|
||||
|
||||
**items prop (base only).** Base requires an `items` prop on the root. Radix uses inline JSX only.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Select>
|
||||
<SelectTrigger><SelectValue placeholder="Select a fruit" /></SelectTrigger>
|
||||
</Select>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const items = [
|
||||
{ label: "Select a fruit", value: null },
|
||||
{ label: "Apple", value: "apple" },
|
||||
{ label: "Banana", value: "banana" },
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
<Select items={items}>
|
||||
<SelectTrigger>
|
||||
<SelectValue />
|
||||
</SelectTrigger>
|
||||
<SelectContent>
|
||||
<SelectGroup>
|
||||
{items.map((item) => (
|
||||
<SelectItem key={item.value} value={item.value}>{item.label}</SelectItem>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</SelectGroup>
|
||||
</SelectContent>
|
||||
</Select>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (radix):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Select>
|
||||
<SelectTrigger>
|
||||
<SelectValue placeholder="Select a fruit" />
|
||||
</SelectTrigger>
|
||||
<SelectContent>
|
||||
<SelectGroup>
|
||||
<SelectItem value="apple">Apple</SelectItem>
|
||||
<SelectItem value="banana">Banana</SelectItem>
|
||||
</SelectGroup>
|
||||
</SelectContent>
|
||||
</Select>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Placeholder.** Base uses a `{ value: null }` item in the items array. Radix uses `<SelectValue placeholder="...">`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Content positioning.** Base uses `alignItemWithTrigger`. Radix uses `position`.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// base.
|
||||
<SelectContent alignItemWithTrigger={false} side="bottom">
|
||||
|
||||
// radix.
|
||||
<SelectContent position="popper">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Select — multiple selection and object values (base only)
|
||||
|
||||
Base supports `multiple`, render-function children on `SelectValue`, and object values with `itemToStringValue`. Radix is single-select with string values only.
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (base — multiple selection):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Select items={items} multiple defaultValue={[]}>
|
||||
<SelectTrigger>
|
||||
<SelectValue>
|
||||
{(value: string[]) => value.length === 0 ? "Select fruits" : `${value.length} selected`}
|
||||
</SelectValue>
|
||||
</SelectTrigger>
|
||||
...
|
||||
</Select>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (base — object values):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Select defaultValue={plans[0]} itemToStringValue={(plan) => plan.name}>
|
||||
<SelectTrigger>
|
||||
<SelectValue>{(value) => value.name}</SelectValue>
|
||||
</SelectTrigger>
|
||||
...
|
||||
</Select>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## ToggleGroup
|
||||
|
||||
Base uses a `multiple` boolean prop. Radix uses `type="single"` or `type="multiple"`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<ToggleGroup type="single" defaultValue="daily">
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="daily">Daily</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
</ToggleGroup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Single (no prop needed), defaultValue is always an array.
|
||||
<ToggleGroup defaultValue={["daily"]} spacing={2}>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="daily">Daily</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="weekly">Weekly</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
</ToggleGroup>
|
||||
|
||||
// Multi-selection.
|
||||
<ToggleGroup multiple>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="bold">Bold</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="italic">Italic</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
</ToggleGroup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (radix):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Single, defaultValue is a string.
|
||||
<ToggleGroup type="single" defaultValue="daily" spacing={2}>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="daily">Daily</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="weekly">Weekly</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
</ToggleGroup>
|
||||
|
||||
// Multi-selection.
|
||||
<ToggleGroup type="multiple">
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="bold">Bold</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="italic">Italic</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
</ToggleGroup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Controlled single value:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// base — wrap/unwrap arrays.
|
||||
const [value, setValue] = React.useState("normal")
|
||||
<ToggleGroup value={[value]} onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v[0])}>
|
||||
|
||||
// radix — plain string.
|
||||
const [value, setValue] = React.useState("normal")
|
||||
<ToggleGroup type="single" value={value} onValueChange={setValue}>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Slider
|
||||
|
||||
Base accepts a plain number for a single thumb. Radix always requires an array.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Slider defaultValue={[50]} max={100} step={1} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Slider defaultValue={50} max={100} step={1} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (radix):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Slider defaultValue={[50]} max={100} step={1} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both use arrays for range sliders. Controlled `onValueChange` in base may need a cast:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// base.
|
||||
const [value, setValue] = React.useState([0.3, 0.7])
|
||||
<Slider value={value} onValueChange={(v) => setValue(v as number[])} />
|
||||
|
||||
// radix.
|
||||
const [value, setValue] = React.useState([0.3, 0.7])
|
||||
<Slider value={value} onValueChange={setValue} />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Accordion
|
||||
|
||||
Radix requires `type="single"` or `type="multiple"` and supports `collapsible`. `defaultValue` is a string. Base uses no `type` prop, uses `multiple` boolean, and `defaultValue` is always an array.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Accordion type="single" collapsible defaultValue="item-1">
|
||||
<AccordionItem value="item-1">...</AccordionItem>
|
||||
</Accordion>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (base):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Accordion defaultValue={["item-1"]}>
|
||||
<AccordionItem value="item-1">...</AccordionItem>
|
||||
</Accordion>
|
||||
|
||||
// Multi-select.
|
||||
<Accordion multiple defaultValue={["item-1", "item-2"]}>
|
||||
<AccordionItem value="item-1">...</AccordionItem>
|
||||
<AccordionItem value="item-2">...</AccordionItem>
|
||||
</Accordion>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (radix):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Accordion type="single" collapsible defaultValue="item-1">
|
||||
<AccordionItem value="item-1">...</AccordionItem>
|
||||
</Accordion>

# Chat & Messaging
|
||||
|
||||
Components for conversation and chat UI. Compose these instead of hand-rolling
|
||||
bubbles, scroll containers, dividers, or attachment cards.
|
||||
|
||||
Install: `npx shadcn@latest add message-scroller message bubble attachment marker`
|
||||
|
||||
The same component names and props ship for both `base` and `radix`; only
|
||||
composition differs (`render` vs `asChild`). See [base-vs-radix.md](./base-vs-radix.md).
|
||||
|
||||
## Contents
|
||||
|
||||
- Scrollable threads use MessageScroller
|
||||
- Message rows use Message
|
||||
- Message surfaces use Bubble
|
||||
- Attachments use Attachment
|
||||
- System notes and dividers use Marker
|
||||
- Streaming, anchoring, and jump-to-latest are built in
|
||||
- Escape hatch: the scroller hooks
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Scrollable threads use MessageScroller
|
||||
|
||||
A conversation that scrolls, follows new messages, restores position, or jumps
|
||||
to a message uses `MessageScroller`. Don't build a raw overflow container with
|
||||
manual scroll wiring, and don't reach for `ScrollArea`.
|
||||
|
||||
The parts nest in a fixed order. Every direct child of the content is wrapped in
|
||||
a `MessageScrollerItem` so the scroller can measure, anchor, preserve position,
|
||||
track visibility, and jump to it. `MessageScrollerButton` sits inside
|
||||
`MessageScroller`, after the viewport.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Hand-rolled scroll container with manual stick-to-bottom logic.
|
||||
<div ref={scrollRef} onScroll={handleScroll} className="flex-1 overflow-y-auto">
|
||||
<div className="flex flex-col gap-6 p-4">
|
||||
{messages.map((m) => (
|
||||
<ChatMessage key={m.id} message={m} />
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<MessageScrollerProvider autoScroll>
|
||||
<MessageScroller>
|
||||
<MessageScrollerViewport>
|
||||
<MessageScrollerContent>
|
||||
{messages.map((message) => (
|
||||
<MessageScrollerItem
|
||||
key={message.id}
|
||||
messageId={message.id}
|
||||
scrollAnchor={message.role === "user"}
|
||||
>
|
||||
<Message align={message.role === "user" ? "end" : "start"}>
|
||||
{/* ...message content... */}
|
||||
</Message>
|
||||
</MessageScrollerItem>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</MessageScrollerContent>
|
||||
</MessageScrollerViewport>
|
||||
<MessageScrollerButton />
|
||||
</MessageScroller>
|
||||
</MessageScrollerProvider>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Message rows use Message
|
||||
|
||||
`Message` lays out a single row: avatar, header, content, footer, with
|
||||
alignment. Group consecutive rows from one sender with `MessageGroup`. Don't
|
||||
rebuild the row from flex divs.
|
||||
|
||||
`align="end"` is the current user's side; `align="start"` is everyone else.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Message align="start">
|
||||
<MessageAvatar>
|
||||
<Avatar>
|
||||
<AvatarImage src={sender.avatar} alt={sender.name} />
|
||||
<AvatarFallback>{initials}</AvatarFallback>
|
||||
</Avatar>
|
||||
</MessageAvatar>
|
||||
<MessageContent>
|
||||
<MessageHeader>{sender.name}</MessageHeader>
|
||||
<Bubble>
|
||||
<BubbleContent>{text}</BubbleContent>
|
||||
</Bubble>
|
||||
<MessageFooter>{time}</MessageFooter>
|
||||
</MessageContent>
|
||||
</Message>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Message surfaces use Bubble
|
||||
|
||||
The colored message surface is `Bubble` + `BubbleContent`, never a styled `div`
|
||||
with `bg-muted` / `bg-primary` and hand-managed corners.
|
||||
|
||||
- `variant`: `default`, `secondary`, `muted`, `tinted`, `outline`, `ghost`, `destructive`.
|
||||
- `align`: `start` or `end` (matches the `Message` side).
|
||||
|
||||
`BubbleReactions` renders the reaction cluster. `side` (`top` | `bottom`) and
|
||||
`align` (`start` | `end`) position it against the bubble. Don't lay reactions out
|
||||
with absolutely-positioned `Badge`s.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<div className="w-fit rounded-2xl bg-primary px-3 py-2 text-primary-foreground">
|
||||
{text}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Bubble variant="default" align="end">
|
||||
<BubbleContent>{text}</BubbleContent>
|
||||
<BubbleReactions side="bottom" align="end">
|
||||
<Badge variant="secondary">👍 2</Badge>
|
||||
</BubbleReactions>
|
||||
</Bubble>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Attachments use Attachment
|
||||
|
||||
File and image attachments use `Attachment`, not `Item` or a custom card. It
|
||||
carries upload state, so wire `state` to the real status rather than rendering a
|
||||
separate spinner.
|
||||
|
||||
- `state`: `idle`, `uploading`, `processing`, `error`, `done`. `uploading` and
|
||||
`processing` apply the `shimmer` animation to the title automatically.
|
||||
- `size`: `default`, `sm`, `xs`. `orientation`: `horizontal`, `vertical`.
|
||||
- Use `AttachmentGroup` to lay out several attachments in a scrolling row.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Attachment state="done">
|
||||
<AttachmentMedia variant="icon">
|
||||
<FileTextIcon />
|
||||
</AttachmentMedia>
|
||||
<AttachmentContent>
|
||||
<AttachmentTitle>homepage-feedback.pdf</AttachmentTitle>
|
||||
<AttachmentDescription>PDF · 2.4 MB</AttachmentDescription>
|
||||
</AttachmentContent>
|
||||
<AttachmentActions>
|
||||
<AttachmentAction>
|
||||
<DownloadIcon />
|
||||
</AttachmentAction>
|
||||
</AttachmentActions>
|
||||
</Attachment>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For an image, use `<AttachmentMedia variant="image">` with an `img` child.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## System notes and dividers use Marker
|
||||
|
||||
Status lines ("Sarah joined the conversation"), date dividers ("Today"), and
|
||||
labeled separators are `Marker`, not a `Separator` plus a centered span.
|
||||
|
||||
- `variant`: `default` (plain row), `separator` (centered label with rules on
|
||||
each side), `border` (bottom-bordered row).
|
||||
- `MarkerIcon` holds a leading icon; `MarkerContent` holds the label.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<div className="flex items-center gap-3 py-2">
|
||||
<Separator className="flex-1" />
|
||||
<span className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">Today</span>
|
||||
<Separator className="flex-1" />
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Marker variant="separator">
|
||||
<MarkerContent>Today</MarkerContent>
|
||||
</Marker>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Streaming, anchoring, and jump-to-latest are built in
|
||||
|
||||
`MessageScroller` handles the behavior that chat UIs usually reinvent. Don't
|
||||
write a `useStickToBottom` hook, a `ResizeObserver`, or manual `scrollTop` math.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Follow the live edge while streaming.** `MessageScrollerProvider` with
|
||||
`autoScroll` keeps the view pinned to new content and yields the moment the
|
||||
user scrolls up. Streaming token updates that grow the last message are
|
||||
followed automatically.
|
||||
- **Anchor a turn.** `scrollAnchor` on a `MessageScrollerItem` marks the row to
|
||||
hold in view (typically the user's message that started the turn).
|
||||
- **Jump to latest.** `MessageScrollerButton` appears when the user scrolls away
|
||||
and scrolls back on click. `direction="end"` (default) or `direction="start"`.
|
||||
It is a self-managing control, so don't gate it behind your own scroll-position
|
||||
state.
|
||||
- **Open a saved transcript without a flash.** `defaultScrollPosition` applies
|
||||
after mount. When it is `"end"` or `"last-anchor"`, the viewport has
|
||||
`data-pending-scroll` until that position is applied. The styled viewport
|
||||
hides. For `"end"` on first paint when messages are in the server HTML, copy
|
||||
this script into the page, not into the primitive. Skip it for `"last-anchor"`
|
||||
and for client-fetched messages. Keep `suppressHydrationWarning` on the
|
||||
viewport. Pass a `nonce` if you use a Content Security Policy.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx

const scrollToEndScript = `(function () {
|

var viewport = document.getElementById("messages")
|
||||
if (!viewport) {
|
||||
return

}
|
||||
viewport.scrollTop = viewport.scrollHeight
|
||||
viewport.removeAttribute("data-pending-scroll")

For a "thinking…" indicator while the model generates, apply the `shimmer`
|

utility to text. Don't author a custom keyframe animation. See

[styling.md](./styling.md).

## Escape hatch: the scroller hooks
|
||||
|
||||
For behavior the parts don't expose, read state from the hooks rather than
|
||||
re-implementing the scroller: `useMessageScroller`,
|
||||
`useMessageScrollerVisibility`, and `useMessageScrollerScrollable`. They come
|
||||
from the auto-installed `@shadcn/react` dependency, so there's nothing extra to
|
||||
install. Reach for them only when composition can't express what you need.

# Component Composition
|
||||
|
||||
## Contents
|
||||
|
||||
- Items always inside their Group component
|
||||
- Callouts use Alert
|
||||
- Empty states use Empty component
|
||||
- Toast notifications follow the project base
|
||||
- Choosing between overlay components
|
||||
- Dialog, Sheet, and Drawer always need a Title
|
||||
- Card structure
|
||||
- Button has no isPending or isLoading prop
|
||||
- TabsTrigger must be inside TabsList
|
||||
- Avatar always needs AvatarFallback
|
||||
- Use Separator instead of raw hr or border divs
|
||||
- Use Skeleton for loading placeholders
|
||||
- Use Badge instead of custom styled spans
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Items always inside their Group component
|
||||
|
||||
Never render items directly inside the content container.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<SelectContent>
|
||||
<SelectItem value="apple">Apple</SelectItem>
|
||||
<SelectItem value="banana">Banana</SelectItem>
|
||||
</SelectContent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<SelectContent>
|
||||
<SelectGroup>
|
||||
<SelectItem value="apple">Apple</SelectItem>
|
||||
<SelectItem value="banana">Banana</SelectItem>
|
||||
</SelectGroup>
|
||||
</SelectContent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This applies to all group-based components:
|
||||
|
||||
| Item | Group |
|
||||
|------|-------|
|
||||
| `SelectItem`, `SelectLabel` | `SelectGroup` |
|
||||
| `DropdownMenuItem`, `DropdownMenuLabel`, `DropdownMenuSub` | `DropdownMenuGroup` |
|
||||
| `MenubarItem` | `MenubarGroup` |
|
||||
| `ContextMenuItem` | `ContextMenuGroup` |
|
||||
| `CommandItem` | `CommandGroup` |
|
||||
| `MessageScrollerItem` | `MessageScrollerContent` |
|
||||
| `Message` (consecutive, same sender) | `MessageGroup` |
|
||||
| `Bubble` (stacked) | `BubbleGroup` |
|
||||
| `Attachment` (in a row) | `AttachmentGroup` |
|
||||
|
||||
Chat components nest in a fixed order (`MessageScrollerProvider` → `MessageScroller` → `MessageScrollerViewport` → `MessageScrollerContent` → `MessageScrollerItem`). See [chat.md](./chat.md).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Callouts use Alert
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Alert>
|
||||
<AlertTitle>Warning</AlertTitle>
|
||||
<AlertDescription>Something needs attention.</AlertDescription>
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Empty states use Empty component
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Empty>
|
||||
<EmptyHeader>
|
||||
<EmptyMedia variant="icon"><FolderIcon /></EmptyMedia>
|
||||
<EmptyTitle>No projects yet</EmptyTitle>
|
||||
<EmptyDescription>Get started by creating a new project.</EmptyDescription>
|
||||
</EmptyHeader>
|
||||
<EmptyContent>
|
||||
<Button>Create Project</Button>
|
||||
</EmptyContent>
|
||||
</Empty>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Toast notifications follow the project base
|
||||
|
||||
For Base UI projects, use the `toast` component:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { toast } from "@/components/ui/toast"
|
||||
|
||||
toast.add({
|
||||
title: "Changes saved.",
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For Radix and React Aria projects, use Sonner:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { toast } from "sonner"
|
||||
|
||||
toast.success("Changes saved.")
|
||||
toast.error("Something went wrong.")
|
||||
toast("File deleted.", {
|
||||
action: { label: "Undo", onClick: () => undoDelete() },
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Choosing between overlay components
|
||||
|
||||
| Use case | Component |
|
||||
|----------|-----------|
|
||||
| Focused task that requires input | `Dialog` |
|
||||
| Destructive action confirmation | `AlertDialog` |
|
||||
| Side panel with details or filters | `Sheet` |
|
||||
| Mobile-first bottom panel | `Drawer` |
|
||||
| Quick info on hover | `HoverCard` |
|
||||
| Small contextual content on click | `Popover` |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Dialog, Sheet, and Drawer always need a Title
|
||||
|
||||
`DialogTitle`, `SheetTitle`, `DrawerTitle` are required for accessibility. Use `className="sr-only"` if visually hidden.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<DialogContent>
|
||||
<DialogHeader>
|
||||
<DialogTitle>Edit Profile</DialogTitle>
|
||||
<DialogDescription>Update your profile.</DialogDescription>
|
||||
</DialogHeader>
|
||||
...
|
||||
</DialogContent>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Card structure
|
||||
|
||||
Use full composition — don't dump everything into `CardContent`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Card>
|
||||
<CardHeader>
|
||||
<CardTitle>Team Members</CardTitle>
|
||||
<CardDescription>Manage your team.</CardDescription>
|
||||
</CardHeader>
|
||||
<CardContent>...</CardContent>
|
||||
<CardFooter>
|
||||
<Button>Invite</Button>
|
||||
</CardFooter>
|
||||
</Card>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Button has no isPending or isLoading prop
|
||||
|
||||
Compose with `Spinner` + `data-icon` + `disabled`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button disabled>
|
||||
<Spinner data-icon="inline-start" />
|
||||
Saving...
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## TabsTrigger must be inside TabsList
|
||||
|
||||
Never render `TabsTrigger` directly inside `Tabs` — always wrap in `TabsList`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Tabs defaultValue="account">
|
||||
<TabsList>
|
||||
<TabsTrigger value="account">Account</TabsTrigger>
|
||||
<TabsTrigger value="password">Password</TabsTrigger>
|
||||
</TabsList>
|
||||
<TabsContent value="account">...</TabsContent>
|
||||
</Tabs>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Avatar always needs AvatarFallback
|
||||
|
||||
Always include `AvatarFallback` for when the image fails to load:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Avatar>
|
||||
<AvatarImage src="/avatar.png" alt="User" />
|
||||
<AvatarFallback>JD</AvatarFallback>
|
||||
</Avatar>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Use existing components instead of custom markup
|
||||
|
||||
| Instead of | Use |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `<hr>` or `<div className="border-t">` | `<Separator />` |
|
||||
| `<div className="animate-pulse">` with styled divs | `<Skeleton className="h-4 w-3/4" />` |
|
||||
| `<span className="rounded-full bg-green-100 ...">` | `<Badge variant="secondary">` |

# Forms & Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
## Contents
|
||||
|
||||
- Forms use FieldGroup + Field
|
||||
- InputGroup requires InputGroupInput/InputGroupTextarea
|
||||
- Buttons inside inputs use InputGroup + InputGroupAddon
|
||||
- Option sets (2–7 choices) use ToggleGroup
|
||||
- FieldSet + FieldLegend for grouping related fields
|
||||
- Field validation and disabled states
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Forms use FieldGroup + Field
|
||||
|
||||
Always use `FieldGroup` + `Field` — never raw `div` with `space-y-*`:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<FieldGroup>
|
||||
<Field>
|
||||
<FieldLabel htmlFor="email">Email</FieldLabel>
|
||||
<Input id="email" type="email" />
|
||||
</Field>
|
||||
<Field>
|
||||
<FieldLabel htmlFor="password">Password</FieldLabel>
|
||||
<Input id="password" type="password" />
|
||||
</Field>
|
||||
</FieldGroup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `Field orientation="horizontal"` for settings pages. Use `FieldLabel className="sr-only"` for visually hidden labels.
|
||||
|
||||
**Choosing form controls:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Simple text input → `Input`
|
||||
- Dropdown with predefined options → `Select`
|
||||
- Searchable dropdown → `Combobox`
|
||||
- Native HTML select (no JS) → `native-select`
|
||||
- Boolean toggle → `Switch` (for settings) or `Checkbox` (for forms)
|
||||
- Single choice from few options → `RadioGroup`
|
||||
- Toggle between 2–5 options → `ToggleGroup` + `ToggleGroupItem`
|
||||
- OTP/verification code → `InputOTP`
|
||||
- Multi-line text → `Textarea`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## InputGroup requires InputGroupInput/InputGroupTextarea
|
||||
|
||||
Never use raw `Input` or `Textarea` inside an `InputGroup`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<InputGroup>
|
||||
<Input placeholder="Search..." />
|
||||
</InputGroup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { InputGroup, InputGroupInput } from "@/components/ui/input-group"
|
||||
|
||||
<InputGroup>
|
||||
<InputGroupInput placeholder="Search..." />
|
||||
</InputGroup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Buttons inside inputs use InputGroup + InputGroupAddon
|
||||
|
||||
Never place a `Button` directly inside or adjacent to an `Input` with custom positioning.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<div className="relative">
|
||||
<Input placeholder="Search..." className="pr-10" />
|
||||
<Button className="absolute right-0 top-0" size="icon">
|
||||
<SearchIcon />
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { InputGroup, InputGroupInput, InputGroupAddon } from "@/components/ui/input-group"
|
||||
|
||||
<InputGroup>
|
||||
<InputGroupInput placeholder="Search..." />
|
||||
<InputGroupAddon>
|
||||
<Button size="icon">
|
||||
<SearchIcon data-icon="inline-start" />
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
</InputGroupAddon>
|
||||
</InputGroup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Option sets (2–7 choices) use ToggleGroup
|
||||
|
||||
Don't manually loop `Button` components with active state.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const [selected, setSelected] = useState("daily")
|
||||
|
||||
<div className="flex gap-2">
|
||||
{["daily", "weekly", "monthly"].map((option) => (
|
||||
<Button
|
||||
key={option}
|
||||
variant={selected === option ? "default" : "outline"}
|
||||
onClick={() => setSelected(option)}
|
||||
>
|
||||
{option}
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
))}
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { ToggleGroup, ToggleGroupItem } from "@/components/ui/toggle-group"
|
||||
|
||||
<ToggleGroup spacing={2}>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="daily">Daily</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="weekly">Weekly</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="monthly">Monthly</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
</ToggleGroup>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Combine with `Field` for labelled toggle groups:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Field orientation="horizontal">
|
||||
<FieldTitle id="theme-label">Theme</FieldTitle>
|
||||
<ToggleGroup aria-labelledby="theme-label" spacing={2}>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="light">Light</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="dark">Dark</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
<ToggleGroupItem value="system">System</ToggleGroupItem>
|
||||
</ToggleGroup>
|
||||
</Field>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** `defaultValue` and `type`/`multiple` props differ between base and radix. See [base-vs-radix.md](./base-vs-radix.md#togglegroup).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## FieldSet + FieldLegend for grouping related fields
|
||||
|
||||
Use `FieldSet` + `FieldLegend` for related checkboxes, radios, or switches — not `div` with a heading:
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<FieldSet>
|
||||
<FieldLegend variant="label">Preferences</FieldLegend>
|
||||
<FieldDescription>Select all that apply.</FieldDescription>
|
||||
<FieldGroup className="gap-3">
|
||||
<Field orientation="horizontal">
|
||||
<Checkbox id="dark" />
|
||||
<FieldLabel htmlFor="dark" className="font-normal">Dark mode</FieldLabel>
|
||||
</Field>
|
||||
</FieldGroup>
|
||||
</FieldSet>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Field validation and disabled states
|
||||
|
||||
Both attributes are needed — `data-invalid`/`data-disabled` styles the field (label, description), while `aria-invalid`/`disabled` styles the control.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Invalid.
|
||||
<Field data-invalid>
|
||||
<FieldLabel htmlFor="email">Email</FieldLabel>
|
||||
<Input id="email" aria-invalid />
|
||||
<FieldDescription>Invalid email address.</FieldDescription>
|
||||
</Field>
|
||||
|
||||
// Disabled.
|
||||
<Field data-disabled>
|
||||
<FieldLabel htmlFor="email">Email</FieldLabel>
|
||||
<Input id="email" disabled />
|
||||
</Field>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Works for all controls: `Input`, `Textarea`, `Select`, `Checkbox`, `RadioGroupItem`, `Switch`, `Slider`, `NativeSelect`, `InputOTP`.

# Icons
|
||||
|
||||
**Always use the project's configured `iconLibrary` for imports.** Check the `iconLibrary` field from project context: `lucide` → `lucide-react`, `tabler` → `@tabler/icons-react`, etc. Never assume `lucide-react`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Icons in Button use data-icon attribute
|
||||
|
||||
Add `data-icon="inline-start"` (prefix) or `data-icon="inline-end"` (suffix) to the icon. No sizing classes on the icon.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button>
|
||||
<SearchIcon className="mr-2 size-4" />
|
||||
Search
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button>
|
||||
<SearchIcon data-icon="inline-start"/>
|
||||
Search
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
|
||||
<Button>
|
||||
Next
|
||||
<ArrowRightIcon data-icon="inline-end"/>
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## No sizing classes on icons inside components
|
||||
|
||||
Components handle icon sizing via CSS. Don't add `size-4`, `w-4 h-4`, or other sizing classes to icons inside `Button`, `DropdownMenuItem`, `Alert`, `Sidebar*`, or other shadcn components. Unless the user explicitly asks for custom icon sizes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button>
|
||||
<SearchIcon className="size-4" data-icon="inline-start" />
|
||||
Search
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
|
||||
<DropdownMenuItem>
|
||||
<SettingsIcon className="mr-2 size-4" />
|
||||
Settings
|
||||
</DropdownMenuItem>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button>
|
||||
<SearchIcon data-icon="inline-start" />
|
||||
Search
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
|
||||
<DropdownMenuItem>
|
||||
<SettingsIcon />
|
||||
Settings
|
||||
</DropdownMenuItem>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pass icons as component objects, not string keys
|
||||
|
||||
Use `icon={CheckIcon}`, not a string key to a lookup map.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
const iconMap = {
|
||||
check: CheckIcon,
|
||||
alert: AlertIcon,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
function StatusBadge({ icon }: { icon: string }) {

const Icon = iconMap[icon]
|
||||
return <Icon />
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
<StatusBadge icon="check" />
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// Import from the project's configured iconLibrary (e.g. lucide-react, @tabler/icons-react).
|
||||
import { CheckIcon } from "lucide-react"

## No raw color values for status/state indicators
|
||||
|
||||
For positive, negative, or status indicators, use Badge variants, semantic tokens like `text-destructive`, or define custom CSS variables — don't reach for raw Tailwind colors.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<span className="text-emerald-600">+20.1%</span>
|
||||
<span className="text-green-500">Active</span>
|
||||
<span className="text-red-600">-3.2%</span>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Badge variant="secondary">+20.1%</Badge>
|
||||
<Badge>Active</Badge>
|
||||
<span className="text-destructive">-3.2%</span>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you need a success/positive color that doesn't exist as a semantic token, use a Badge variant or ask the user about adding a custom CSS variable to the theme (see [customization.md](../customization.md)).

## Built-in variants first
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button className="border border-input bg-transparent hover:bg-accent">
|
||||
Click me
|
||||
</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Button variant="outline">Click me</Button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## className for layout only
|
||||
|
||||
Use `className` for layout (e.g. `max-w-md`, `mx-auto`, `mt-4`), **not** for overriding component colors or typography. To change colors, use semantic tokens, built-in variants, or CSS variables.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Card className="bg-blue-100 text-blue-900 font-bold">
|
||||
<CardContent>Dashboard</CardContent>
|
||||
</Card>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<Card className="max-w-md mx-auto">
|
||||
<CardContent>Dashboard</CardContent>
|
||||
</Card>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To customize a component's appearance, prefer these approaches in order:
|
||||
1. **Built-in variants** — `variant="outline"`, `variant="destructive"`, etc.
|
||||
2. **Semantic color tokens** — `bg-primary`, `text-muted-foreground`.
|
||||
3. **CSS variables** — define custom colors in the global CSS file (see [customization.md](../customization.md)).

## No space-x-* / space-y-*
|
||||
|
||||
Use `gap-*` instead. `space-y-4` → `flex flex-col gap-4`. `space-x-2` → `flex gap-2`.
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4">
|
||||
<Input />
|
||||
<Input />
|
||||
<Button>Submit</Button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Prefer size-* over w-* h-* when equal
|
||||
|
||||
`size-10` not `w-10 h-10`. Applies to icons, avatars, skeletons, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Prefer truncate shorthand
|
||||
|
||||
`truncate` not `overflow-hidden text-ellipsis whitespace-nowrap`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## No manual dark: color overrides
|
||||
|
||||
Use semantic tokens — they handle light/dark via CSS variables. `bg-background text-foreground` not `bg-white dark:bg-gray-950`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Use cn() for conditional classes
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `cn()` utility from the project for conditional or merged class names. Don't write manual ternaries in className strings.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<div className={`flex items-center ${isActive ? "bg-primary text-primary-foreground" : "bg-muted"}`}>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { cn } from "cn"
|
||||
|
||||
<div className={cn("flex items-center", isActive ? "bg-primary text-primary-foreground" : "bg-muted")}>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## No manual z-index on overlay components
|
||||
|
||||
`Dialog`, `Sheet`, `Drawer`, `AlertDialog`, `DropdownMenu`, `Popover`, `Tooltip`, `HoverCard` handle their own stacking. Never add `z-50` or `z-[999]`.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Use shimmer / scroll-fade utilities, not custom animations
|
||||
|
||||
For a live "thinking…" or loading-text shimmer, apply the `shimmer` utility. Don't author a custom `@keyframes` or a `bg-clip-text` gradient sweep.
|
||||
|
||||
For scroll-aware edge fading on a scroll container, use `scroll-fade` (and the axis variants `scroll-fade-x` / `scroll-fade-b`). Don't hand-roll mask gradients. The chat components already apply these internally: `Attachment` shimmers its title during upload, and `MessageScrollerViewport` fades its edges.
|
||||
|
||||
**Incorrect:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<span className="animate-pulse bg-gradient-to-r from-muted-foreground/40 via-foreground/70 to-muted-foreground/40 bg-clip-text text-transparent [animation:shimmer_1.6s_infinite]">
|
||||
Thinking…
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct:**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
<span className="shimmer">Thinking…</span>
|
||||
```
