React Components Prompt

AI prompt to transform Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf into shadcn/ui + React component expert. Complete TypeScript integration with accessibility.

Most AI-generated components look like prototypes—missing hover states, no keyboard support, inconsistent with the rest of your app. The default output is "works in a demo" not "ships to production." This prompt transforms your AI into a Senior UI/UX Engineer who thinks in design systems. Every component comes with proper TypeScript interfaces, CVA variants that actually make sense, Radix UI primitives for accessibility, and styling that follows shadcn/ui conventions exactly. Use it when building component libraries, extending shadcn/ui with custom components, creating design system documentation, or whenever you need UI that doesn't require "just a few tweaks" before it's usable. The difference between a component that looks done and one that is done.
