The ReUI Agent Skill teaches your coding agent how to use the ReUI registry well - it pairs with the MCP server so your agent builds with ReUI instead of guessing.
The ReUI Agent Skill is a small set of markdown files that teaches your coding agent how to build with ReUI: how to find the right item, install it, read its real API, and adapt it by reuse. It pairs with the - together they turn "make me a dashboard" into real ReUI blocks wired to your data.
The skill is free and works with every supported agent. Each per-agent guide sets it up for you; this page explains what it does.
They do different jobs, and they are best together:
search, returns the real component APIs (get_component), validates prop usage (validate_usage), and hands back the exact shadcn install command - all against the current registry, scored and ranked.Without the skill an agent can still call the tools, but it tends to over-customize, hand-roll what ReUI already ships, or invent APIs. The skill keeps it on rails.
Call search with the user's intent. It returns ranked matches across components, examples, blocks, and icons, each with an install command, preview, docs link, and the components it uses.
Run the returned shadcn command non-interactively. The CLI resolves dependencies and your base style from components.json.
Call get_component for each component the item uses and read its inline API (no guessing), then get_examples to copy a real, working composition.
Swap demo data for real data, fix icon imports, and align to your theme tokens. Keep the block's structure and styling - do not redesign what ReUI already provides. validate_usage flags any prop or name the agent invented before it ships.
The skill reaches every agent the right way - local CLIs and editors like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode get it written into your project by a one-line installer, and every other agent receives it at runtime through the MCP, with nothing to install. Any MCP client can also pull it on demand with the get_agent_skill tool.
Pick your agent to jump to its skill setup:
The skill and the MCP are free and only need a ReUI account. A Pro or Ultimate license unlocks premium blocks and animated icons and removes the daily request limit, so the workflow above can install and adapt the paid parts of the registry too.
