What coding agents get wrong in Tailwind CSS
Agents write a Tailwind v3 config file for a v4 project that sets the theme in CSS. They build long class strings with no shared components, and compose class names at runtime, which the compiler cannot see.
Skills that help
Skills for Tailwind patterns and design systems, plus Cursor rules for Tailwind and shadcn/ui.
Cursor rules: the database holds 128 Cursor rule files (.mdc) tagged Tailwind CSS (css-specific-rules, html-tailwind-css-and-javascript-expert-rule, nativewind-and-tailwind-css-compatibility, next-js-tailwind-typescript-expert---general, qwik-and-tailwind-best-practices, solidjs-tailwind-additional-instructions, and more). Cursor reads them from .cursor/rules/. Other agents load SKILL.md skills, so most picks here are skills.

How we count
We match project tags against 99,639 skills from 7,206 public GitHub repos (refreshed 2026-10-18). A skill built for another framework or language is left out, and so is a skill below our relevance floor. The picks on this page come from the ranked list for these tags. We favor broad practice skills over single-task ones. Licenses are shown as each repo declares them. Read a skill before you install it.
