CLI And Registry Defaults

Pack: shadcn Parent skill: shadcn CLI Registry And components.json Source: shadcn/shadcn-cli-registry-and-components-json/references/cli-and-registry-defaults.md Default CLI posture:

  1. initialize once
  2. commit components.json
  3. add only the components the app needs
  4. review generated code like normal source code

components.json should stay stable for:

  • style
  • aliases
  • icon library
  • CSS variables mode
  • Tailwind or CSS entrypoint

Registry default:

  • official registry first
  • private or custom registry only after you have a real reusable internal surface

Update default:

  • do not expect generated code to remain identical to upstream
  • review updates selectively
  • treat local edits as intentional product code
