New Feature: DESIGN.md Theme Guidelines

Jul 25, 2026

Every shadcn theme now ships with a portable DESIGN.md — brand guidelines written for humans and coding agents. Copy it into your project root (or .agents/) so Cursor, Claude, and other AI tools stay on-brand while they generate UI.

Alpine theme cover — DESIGN.md brand guidelines

What's inside each DESIGN.md

  • Colors — primary, secondary, surfaces, sidebar, charts, and dark-mode pairs as official shadcn CSS variables
  • Typography — display, body, label, and mono stacks with size/weight guidance
  • Layout & spacing — rhythm, gutters, radius tokens, and section pacing
  • Taste rules — what the theme is for, what to avoid, and how agents should apply it

How to use it

  1. Open any theme page (e.g. Alpine or Vercel)
  2. Scroll to the Brand guidelines · DESIGN.md section
  3. Click Copy DESIGN.md and paste into your repo
  4. Install the theme tokens with the CLI:
npx shadcn@latest add @shadcnblocks/theme/alpine

Tokens style your app; DESIGN.md tells agents how to design with them.

  • Vercel — fast global delivery and straightforward Git-based deploys
  • Netlify — mature build pipelines and edge-friendly hosting
  • Cloudflare Pages — strong performance at the edge with a simple Pages workflow

New Feature: Base UI Support

Feb 5, 2026

We're excited to announce Base UI support for all Shadcnblocks components. You can now choose between Radix UI and Base UI as the underlying primitive library for your shadcn/ui components.

Why Base UI?

Base UI is a headless component library from the MUI team. It offers:

  • Smaller bundle sizes compared to Radix UI
  • Zero styling overhead
  • Active development and regular updates

How to Use

  1. Open the Explorer
  2. Select Base UI in the sidebar's UI Library dropdown
  3. Preview blocks with Base UI primitives
  4. Download a pre-configured components.json
  5. Install blocks with the CLI—they'll use Base UI automatically

Configuration

Your components.json now supports library-style combinations:

{
  "style": "base-vega"
}

Available options: base-vega, base-nova, base-maia, base-lyra, base-mira

All 5 component styles work with both Radix UI and Base UI.

New Feature: Component Styles

Feb 5, 2026

Introducing component styles for shadcn/ui—the same styles available in the Shadcn UI Create page. This gives you control over the visual appearance of every component in your project.

Available Styles

  • Vega (New York) — The classic shadcn/ui look. Clean, neutral, and familiar.
  • Nova — Reduced padding and margins for compact layouts.
  • Maia — Soft and rounded, with generous spacing.
  • Lyra — Boxy and sharp. Pairs well with mono fonts.
  • Mira — Compact. Made for dense interfaces.

Preview in the Explorer

The Explorer now includes a Component Style selector in the sidebar. Switch between styles instantly to see how any block looks with different visual treatments.

How It Works

Styles are configured in your components.json:

{
  "style": "radix-maia"
}

The format is {library}-{style}, combining your UI library choice (Radix or Base) with your visual style preference.

All Combinations

  • radix-vega, radix-nova, radix-maia, radix-lyra, radix-mira
  • base-vega, base-nova, base-maia, base-lyra, base-mira

When you install blocks via the CLI, they automatically use your configured style.
