Can I use this for an existing project?

Yes, the skill includes workflows for auditing existing patterns, identifying inconsistencies, and establishing a migration strategy to a token-based system.

Does this work with Tailwind CSS?

Absolutely. It is optimized for modern Tailwind workflows using the @theme directive to define tokens and utility classes for component styling without custom CSS variables in class names.

How does this skill handle theming?

It provides patterns for W3C design tokens and native Tailwind CSS @theme integration, supporting both light and dark mode implementations with system preference detection.

Is it compliant with accessibility standards?

Yes, the skill includes comprehensive guidelines and implementation patterns for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, including keyboard navigation and ARIA attributes.

What component architecture does it use?

It follows the Atomic Design methodology, organizing UI elements into Atoms, Molecules, Organisms, Templates, and Pages for maximum reusability and clarity.
