TheGoat395 Tailwind Design Tokens
For substantial web work, reuse the scoped web contract when available; it replaces duplicated policy here. Match the requested scope and existing decisions; a missing optional sibling does not block this local procedure.
Overview
Make Tailwind feel like a design system, not utility confetti. Tailwind is fast, but the taste comes from tokens, constraints, and repeated decisions.
Workflow
- Identify the requested component or architecture outcome, affected files and existing decisions; reuse established content and visual direction.
- Inspect the project before editing when code exists.
- Apply this skill's specific rules from
references/tailwind-design-tokens-guide.md. - Explain material implementation choices while continuing authorized work.
- Implement when requested, inspect affected output, fix observed defects, and run the smallest decisive relevant checks.
Reference
Read references/tailwind-design-tokens-guide.md when this skill triggers for a concrete website build, redesign, visual review, or implementation plan.
Ownership
Own token consumption by the installed Tailwind version and mapping to utilities/aliases. Use design-token-production-pipeline, if installed, only when generation, validation or multiple output consumers require a compiler contract. Otherwise, retain the existing token source, document its output consumers, and check generated values and aliases against that source. Do not add a compiler just to replace a missing specialist.
