How does this skill improve Tailwind CSS development?

It provides Claude with specific architectural patterns like CVA and compound components, moving beyond simple utility classes to build maintainable and scalable UI libraries.

What is the benefit of using CVA with Tailwind?

Class Variance Authority (CVA) allows you to define a clear schema for component variants (like 'primary', 'large', or 'disabled') without the 'className' string soup, making styles easier to read and maintain.

Can I use these patterns with frameworks other than React?

While the compound and polymorphic examples focus on React, the core Tailwind patterns like group/peer modifiers, data attributes, and @apply slots are applicable to any modern frontend framework.

Does it support TypeScript for component variants?

Yes, all patterns included in this skill feature full TypeScript integration, providing type-safety for variants, sizes, and polymorphic properties.
