Using the ui-styling skill, build a responsive "Account settings" card with shadcn/ui and Tailwind that has a dark-mode toggle and a notifications switch. Show the component code and explain the key utility classes.

Skill: ui-styling

Account settings card

Setup

npx shadcn@latest add card switch label separator
npm install next-themes

Wrap your app in the theme provider once (for example in app/layout.tsx). Add suppressHydrationWarning to <html>.

import { ThemeProvider } from "next-themes"

<ThemeProvider attribute="class" defaultTheme="system" enableSystem disableTransitionOnChange>
  {children}
</ThemeProvider>

`components/account-settings-card.tsx`

"use client"

import * as React from "react"
import { useTheme } from "next-themes"
import { Moon, Sun, Bell } from "lucide-react"

import {
  Card,
  CardContent,
  CardDescription,
  CardHeader,
  CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card"
import { Label } from "@/components/ui/label"
import { Separator } from "@/components/ui/separator"
import { Switch } from "@/components/ui/switch"

export function AccountSettingsCard() {
  const { resolvedTheme, setTheme } = useTheme()
  const [mounted, setMounted] = React.useState(false)
  const [notifications, setNotifications] = React.useState(true)

  // The theme is unknown on the server, so wait for mount to avoid a hydration mismatch.
  React.useEffect(() => setMounted(true), [])

  const isDark = mounted && resolvedTheme === "dark"

  return (
    <Card className="mx-auto w-full max-w-sm shadow-sm transition-shadow hover:shadow-md sm:max-w-md lg:max-w-lg">

            onCheckedChange={(checked) => setTheme(checked ? "dark" : "light")}
          />
        </div>

        <Separator />

        {/* Notifications */}

Key utility classes

Responsive sizing

w-full max-w-sm sm:max-w-md lg:max-w-lg mx-auto: the card fills narrow screens, then caps its width at each breakpoint. mx-auto centers it. The styles are mobile-first, so the unprefixed classes apply to phones and sm:/lg: layer on top.
p-4 sm:p-6: tighter padding on phones, roomier from 640px up. pt-0 sm:pt-0 stops CardContent's default top padding from stacking on the header's bottom padding.
text-xl sm:text-2xl: the title scales up with the viewport.

Row layout

flex items-center justify-between gap-4: the label block sits on the left and the switch is pushed to the right edge. gap-4 keeps long text from touching the switch.
flex items-start gap-3: the icon aligns with the top of the two-line label and description.
space-y-0.5 / space-y-4: vertical rhythm between children, with no margins on individual elements.

Theme-aware colors

bg-muted, text-muted-foreground: these are shadcn semantic tokens backed by CSS variables, which .dark redefines. The card therefore re-themes without any dark: prefixes. Reach for dark: only for one-off overrides.
rounded-md p-2: a small tinted square behind each icon.
size-4: shorthand for w-4 h-4 on the icons (Tailwind 3.4+).

Polish

shadow-sm hover:shadow-md transition-shadow: a subtle lift on hover, animating only the shadow.
tracking-tight font-semibold: tighter, bolder heading text.

Accessibility and behavior notes

Each Label htmlFor matches its Switch id, so clicking the text toggles the switch. Radix's Switch supplies role="switch", aria-checked, Space-key toggling and focus rings.
resolvedTheme follows the OS preference when the theme is system. The first toggle then pins an explicit light or dark.
The notifications state is local. Replace setNotifications with a call to your API or form action to persist it.

I haven't run this, since there's no project scaffold in the working directory. If you'd like, I can write it into a Vite or Next app here and check it in the browser.

Real run in an isolated folder with only this skill installed. Only the Skill and Read tools were enabled; the model answered from SKILL.md without opening the reference files, and no bundled script was run.

Was es macht

Zeigt dem Modell, wie man Oberflächen auf dem shadcn/ui-Stack (Radix UI + Tailwind CSS) baut: Komponenten einrichten, Formulare, Dialoge, Tabellen und Navigation zusammensetzen, Mobile-first-Layouts schreiben, Dark Mode und Theming ergänzen und Tailwind anpassen (@theme-Direktive, eigene Utilities, Layer). Eine Referenzdatei beschreibt einen canvasbasierten Ansatz für Poster und visuelle Entwürfe.

So funktioniert es

SKILL.md liefert Stack-Überblick, Schnellstart (npx shadcn@latest init, add), gängige Muster und Links zu den Referenzdateien.
Das Modell öffnet bei Bedarf die passende Referenz: Komponentenkatalog, Theming, Barrierefreiheit, Tailwind-Utilities, Responsive Design, Anpassung oder Canvas-Design.
Zwei optionale Hilfsskripte: eines fügt shadcn-Komponenten über npx hinzu, das andere erzeugt eine tailwind.config.js mit eigenen Farben und Schriften.

Geeignet für

React-, Next.js-, Vite-, Remix- oder Astro-Oberflächen bauen oder neu gestalten, barrierefreie Komponenten ergänzen, Dark Mode und Design-Tokens umsetzen.

Hinweise & Risiken

Enthält zwei Python-Hilfsskripte. `shadcn_add.py` führt im angegebenen Projektverzeichnis `npx shadcn@<Version> add ...` aus: Das lädt von npm herunter (Netzwerkzugriff) und schreibt Komponentendateien in Ihr Projekt. Bereits vorhandene Komponenten werden nur mit `--overwrite` neu installiert; `--dry-run` zeigt vorab, was passieren würde. `tailwind_config_gen.py` schreibt eine Tailwind-Konfigurationsdatei und verweigert Anlegen oder Ersetzen, wenn schon eine andere `tailwind.config.*` existiert, außer mit `--force`. Committen Sie Ihre Arbeit vorher und prüfen Sie erzeugte Dateien per Diff, bevor Sie sie behalten. Es sind weder Konto noch Schlüssel nötig. In dieser Listung fehlen die mitgelieferten Canvas-Schriftdateien (der optionale Canvas-Ansatz greift dann auf Ihre eigenen Schriften zurück) und die Testdateien.
