Gen Agent Trust Hubfail
This skill provides a development guide and tools for the HeroUI v3 React library. It includes an installation command that executes a remote script via bash and several scripts that fetch documentation and source code from the vendor's servers. While these are official vendor tools, the use of piped remote execution and the ingestion of external content without sanitization pose security risks.

HeroUI v3 React Development Guide

HeroUI v3 is a component library built on Tailwind CSS v4 and React Aria Components, providing accessible, customizable UI components for React applications.

Installation

curl -fsSL https://heroui.com/install | bash -s heroui-react

CRITICAL: v3 Only - Ignore v2 Knowledge

This guide is for HeroUI v3 ONLY. Do NOT apply v2 patterns — the provider, styling, and component API all changed:

Feature	v2 (DO NOT USE)	v3 (USE THIS)
Provider	`<HeroUIProvider>` required	No Provider needed
Animations	`framer-motion` package	CSS-based, no extra deps
Component API	Flat props: `<Card title="x">`	Compound: `<Card><Card.Header>`
Styling	Tailwind v3 + `@heroui/theme`	Tailwind v4 + `@heroui/styles`
Packages	`@heroui/system`, `@heroui/theme`	`@heroui/react`, `@heroui/styles`

// DO NOT DO THIS - v2 pattern
import { HeroUIProvider } from "@heroui/react";
import { motion } from "framer-motion";

<HeroUIProvider>
	<Card title="Product" description="A great product" />
</HeroUIProvider>;

CORRECT (v3 patterns)

// DO THIS - v3 pattern (no provider, compound components)
import { Card } from "@heroui/react";

<Card>
	<Card.Header>
		<Card.Title>Product</Card.Title>
		<Card.Description>A great product</Card.Description>
	</Card.Header>
</Card>;

Always fetch v3 docs before implementing.

Core Principles

Semantic variants (primary, secondary, tertiary) over visual descriptions
Composition over configuration (compound components)
CSS variable-based theming with oklch color space
BEM naming convention for predictable styling

Accessing Documentation & Component Information

For component details, examples, props, and implementation patterns, always fetch documentation:

Using Scripts

# List all available components
node scripts/list_components.mjs

# Get component documentation (MDX)
node scripts/get_component_docs.mjs Button
node scripts/get_component_docs.mjs Button Card TextField

# Get component source code
node scripts/get_source.mjs Button

# Get component CSS styles (BEM classes)
node scripts/get_styles.mjs Button

# Get theme variables
node scripts/get_theme.mjs

# Get non-component docs (guides, releases)
node scripts/get_docs.mjs /docs/react/getting-started/theming

Direct MDX URLs

Component docs: fetch .mdx with a concrete kebab-case slug. Run node scripts/list_components.mjs when the slug is unknown, and never fetch a URL that still contains a placeholder.

Examples:

Button: https://heroui.com/docs/react/components/button.mdx
Modal: https://heroui.com/docs/react/components/modal.mdx
Form: https://heroui.com/docs/react/components/form.mdx

Getting started guides: use a concrete topic URL such as https://heroui.com/docs/react/getting-started/quick-start.mdx.

Important: Always fetch component docs before implementing. The MDX docs include complete examples, props, anatomy, and API references.

Installation Essentials

Quick Install

npm i @heroui/styles @heroui/react tailwind-variants

Framework Setup (Next.js App Router - Recommended)

Install dependencies:

npm i @heroui/styles @heroui/react tailwind-variants tailwindcss @tailwindcss/postcss postcss

Create/update app/globals.css:

/* Tailwind CSS v4 - Must be first */
@import "tailwindcss";

/* HeroUI v3 styles - Must be after Tailwind */
@import "@heroui/styles";

Import in app/layout.tsx:

import "./globals.css";

export default function RootLayout({
	children,
}: {
	children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
	return (
		<html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
			<body>
				{/* No Provider needed in HeroUI v3! */}
				{children}
			</body>
		</html>
	);
}

Configure PostCSS (postcss.config.mjs):

export default {
	plugins: {
		"@tailwindcss/postcss": {},
	},
};

Critical Setup Requirements

Tailwind CSS v4 is MANDATORY - HeroUI v3 will NOT work with Tailwind CSS v3
Use Compound Components - Components use compound structure (e.g., Card.Header, Card.Content)
Use onPress, not onClick - For better accessibility, use onPress event handlers
Import Order Matters - Always import Tailwind CSS before HeroUI styles

Component Patterns

All components use the compound pattern shown above (dot-notation subcomponents like Card.Header, Card.Content). Don't flatten to props — always compose with subcomponents. Fetch component docs for complete anatomy and examples.

Semantic Variants

HeroUI uses semantic naming to communicate functional intent:

Variant	Purpose	Usage
`primary`	Main action to move forward	1 per context
`secondary`	Alternative actions	Multiple
`tertiary`	Dismissive actions (cancel, skip)	Sparingly
`danger`	Destructive actions	When needed
`ghost`	Low-emphasis actions	Minimal weight
`outline`	Secondary actions	Bordered style

Don't use raw colors - semantic variants adapt to themes and accessibility.

Theming

HeroUI v3 uses CSS variables with oklch color space:

:root {
	--accent: oklch(0.6204 0.195 253.83);
	--accent-foreground: var(--snow);
	--background: oklch(0.9702 0 0);
	--foreground: var(--eclipse);
}

Get current theme variables:

node scripts/get_theme.mjs

Color naming:

Without suffix = background (e.g., --accent)
With -foreground = text color (e.g., --accent-foreground)

Theme switching:

<html class="dark" data-theme="dark"></html>

For detailed theming, fetch: https://heroui.com/docs/react/getting-started/theming.mdx
