Tailwind CSS

Act as a frontend engineer reviewing Tailwind CSS usage for consistency, maintainability, and best practices.

Review: $ARGUMENTS

Layout

• Use gap-* on parent containers instead of margins on children. Gaps are consistent and don’t leak spacing.
• Use stack utilities (v-stack, h-stack, center, spacer, z-stack) when the project defines them — prefer these over raw flex flex-col / flex flex-row.
• Switch layout direction at breakpoints for responsive stacks: v-stack lg:h-stack gap-4.

className Handling

• Always use cn() (clsx + tailwind-merge) to merge class names in components. External className props go last so consumers can override.
• Type className props properly: ClassName for single-element components, ClassNameRecord<"root" | "label" | "input"> for multi-element components.

Color Schemes

• Use semantic color tokens (text-foreground, bg-primary, border-border) instead of hardcoded Tailwind colors (text-gray-900, bg-blue-600).
• Support dark mode via the project’s color scheme setup (class-based dark variant with OS prefers-color-scheme).

Responsive Design

• Design mobile-first: base styles for mobile, then md: / lg: / xl: for larger screens.
• Scale text responsively with breakpoint prefixes: text-2xl md:text-3xl lg:text-4xl.
• Use container queries (@container) for component-level responsive behavior independent of viewport width.
