Shadcn io
OfficialProvides AI coding tools with accurate, up-to-date shadcn/ui React component definitions and TypeScript props to stop hallucinations and outdated suggestions.
Stop Fighting with AI Tools That Don't Know Your React Components Building Next.js applications with AI coding tools should be seamless. But you ask Claude or Cursor about a shadcn/ui React component and it confidently tells you about TypeScript props that don't exist. Or suggests patterns from 2022. Or just makes stuff up entirely. Here's what's actually happening: your AI coding tool is guessing. It's working from whatever it vaguely remembers from training, not from actual React component code with TypeScript definitions.
What it does
- Access current shadcn/ui component TypeScript definitions
- Query accurate React component props and APIs
- Get up-to-date component usage patterns
- Retrieve correct component implementation details
