## What it does

The skill automates creating new Webflow Code Components. It writes the React component file, companion `.webflow.tsx` definition using `declareComponent`, and modular styles. Before touching code, it runs a prerequisite check to verify `webflow.json` and ensures packages like `@webflow/webflow-cli`, `@webflow/data-types`, and `@webflow/react` exist in `package.json`.

During scaffolding, it asks for a PascalCase component name, component role, SSR requirements, and styling choice (CSS Modules by default, styled-components, Emotion, or Tailwind). It configures Webflow props using `@webflow/data-types`, supporting slots, images, text nodes, and visibility toggles. Files are placed neatly under `src/components/`.

For setups with custom Webpack configurations or monorepos, Webflow recommends using local-dev-setup instead of this scaffold. The skill requires Node.js 18+, React 18+, and TypeScript.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill webflow-code-component:component-scaffold -a claude-code
```
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill component-scaffold -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/component-scaffold/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/component-scaffold/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill component-scaffold -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/component-scaffold/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill component-scaffold -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/component-scaffold/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install webflow/webflow-skills component-scaffold
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/component-scaffold/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill component-scaffold -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/webflow/webflow-skills --path plugins/webflow-skills/skills/component-scaffold
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/component-scaffold/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webflow/webflow-skills --skill component-scaffold -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/webflow/webflow-skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/webflow-skills/skills/component-scaffold/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- scaffold boilerplate files for a new Webflow code component
- configure props schema using `@webflow/data-types` definitions
- validate `webflow.json` and missing Webflow CLI developer dependencies
- set up SSR settings and CSS Modules styling for Webflow React components

## Example prompts
- Scaffold a new Accordion code component for Webflow using CSS Modules
- Create a ProductCard component with text, image, and price props
- Generate a Webflow layout component with ssr disabled

# Component Scaffold

Generate a new Webflow Code Component with proper file structure, React component, and `.webflow.tsx` definition file.

## When to Use This Skill

**Use when:**
- Creating a new code component from scratch
- User asks to scaffold, generate, or create a component
- Starting a new component with proper Webflow file structure

**Do NOT use when:**
- Converting an existing React component (use convert-component skill)
- Modifying existing components (answer directly or use component-audit)
- Just asking questions about components (answer directly)
- Setting up a complex project with custom bundler config (use local-dev-setup instead)

**Note:** This skill can handle basic setup (webflow.json + dependencies) automatically. Use local-dev-setup only for complex setups requiring Tailwind, custom webpack config, or monorepo configurations.

## Instructions

### Phase 0: Prerequisites Check (Run First)

Before gathering any requirements, verify the project is set up for Webflow Code Components:

1. **Check for webflow.json**:
   ```bash
   # Look for webflow.json in project root
   ```
   - If missing: Offer to create it or invoke local-dev-setup skill

2. **Check for required dependencies** in package.json:
   ```json
   {
     "devDependencies": {
       "@webflow/webflow-cli": "...",
       "@webflow/data-types": "...",
       "@webflow/react": "..."
     }
   }
   ```
   - If missing: Offer to install them:
     ```bash
     npm i --save-dev @webflow/webflow-cli @webflow/data-types @webflow/react
     ```

3. **Check for components directory**:
   - Look for existing pattern (e.g., `src/components/`)
   - If no components exist, determine where to create them based on webflow.json config

4. **Report setup status**:

   **If all prerequisites met:**
   ```
   ✅ Project ready for code components
   - webflow.json: Found
   - Dependencies: Installed
   - Components path: src/components/

   Let's create your component...
   ```

   **If prerequisites missing:**
   ```
   ⚠️ Project Setup Required

   Missing:
   - [ ] webflow.json configuration file
   - [ ] @webflow/webflow-cli dependency
