Does this skill support Tailwind CSS v4?

Yes, it includes specific patterns and instructions for the new CSS-based @theme configuration used in Tailwind v4.

What is the preferred color format for shadcn/ui theming?

The system uses HSL values (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) without the hsl() wrapper in CSS variables for maximum flexibility with Tailwind.

Can I create more than just Light and Dark modes?

Absolutely. The skill provides implementation patterns for supporting multiple themes beyond standard light/dark, such as specific color-based theme classes.

Is next-themes required for this skill?

While the core CSS variable logic works without it, the skill recommends next-themes for React/Next.js projects to handle hydration and system preference detection.
