Best Practices

• Form components include React Hook Form and Zod — do not add separate form libraries. The

  Form

  component wraps

  react-hook-form

  with built-in Zod validation. Adding

  formik

  ,

  react-final-form

  , or additional validation packages is redundant.

• components.json

  controls path aliases, Tailwind config, and component style — always check this file exists and is correctly configured before adding components. An incorrect

  tailwind.config

  path or missing CSS variable setup in

  globals.css

  causes components to render without styles.
• There is no "update all" command —

  shadcn add

  and

  shadcn diff

  operate per-component. When suggesting upgrades, list each component individually; bulk update scripts must be written manually.
