Summary

shadcn-ui launches @shadcn/lint, an agent-first Tailwind linter for ESLint and Oxlint that guides coding agents to fix component, variant and theme violations in one correction round, with support for Tailwind v4 and Node.js 20.19+.

Key Points

  • shadcn-ui launches @shadcn/lint, an agent-first Tailwind design-system linter for ESLint and Oxlint that gives fix guidance based on components, variants and themes.
  • Tests across more than 150 coding-agent task runs show Sonnet 5, Haiku 4.5, Opus 5 and GPT 5.6 Terra reduce violations to zero in one correction round, while GPT 5.6 Sol completes six of eight tasks.
  • The package requires Node.js 20.19+, supports Tailwind v4 without shadcn/ui, and includes rules against component restyling, raw colors, arbitrary values, inline styles, unknown classes and dynamic class strings.
