tailwind-css · manutej — Claude Code skill: Tailwind utilities on tap
A Tailwind CSS skill covering utility classes, responsive variants, dark mode and production optimization. Handy when you build UI and want to stay in your markup.
npx skills add manutej/luxor-claude-marketplace --skill tailwind-css -a claude-codeWhat tailwind-css does
The skill hands your agent a reference for Tailwind CSS: layout, spacing, typography, colors, borders and rounding. Each section pairs a short markup example with the classes it uses, so the agent copies real combinations instead of guessing utility names.
Everything lives in a single SKILL.md file with the description and examples. No scripts, no extra dependencies, so installing means dropping that file into your platform's skills folder. Claude reads it from ~/.claude/skills/tailwind-css/SKILL.md, Cursor from .cursor/skills/tailwind-css/SKILL.md, GitHub Copilot from .github/skills/tailwind-css/SKILL.md.
The skill describes Tailwind in general, not a pinned framework version. If Tailwind isn't configured in your project yet, the classes in the examples produce no styles — set up the framework first. The description text is truncated, so framework integration is mentioned only in passing.
What it helps with
- build a responsive grid without a separate CSS file
- add dark mode with the
dark:variant - extract repeated classes into a component
- swap the default palette for your own tokens
- trim the final CSS before shipping
Example prompts for the agent
- Build a product card in Tailwind with a three-column grid and padding
- Add dark mode to this form using
dark: - Show me how to extract these classes into a reusable component
