# shadcn Skill: Let AI Search, Install and Combine shadcn/ui Components According to Project Configuration

shadcn is the official Agent Skill for shadcn/ui. After installation, it will read the project's components.json, inject the framework, aliases, installed components, icon library and underlying primitives via `shadcn info --json`, then search, install, debug and stitch together UIs according to the official combination rules. It was released alongside CLI v4 in March 2026, and can be added to tools like Cursor, Claude Code and Codex via `pnpm dlx skills add shadcn/ui`, preventing assistants from writing components that do not match the project based on memory.
