Tailwind Best Practices

Overview

Routing and priority guide for Mastra Playground UI styling, containing 5 rules across 3 categories. Rule files hold the detailed explanations, examples, and review guidance that ensure design system consistency, prevent token drift, and maintain component library integrity.

Scope

  • packages/playground-ui
  • packages/playground

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Writing new React components with Tailwind styles
  • Reviewing code for styling consistency
  • Refactoring existing styled components
  • Adding or modifying UI elements

Priority-Ordered Guidelines

Rules are prioritized by impact:

| Priority | Category | Impact | | -------- | --------------- | -------- | | 1 | Component Usage | CRITICAL | | 2 | Design Tokens | CRITICAL | | 3 | ClassName Usage | HIGH |

Quick Reference

Critical Patterns (Apply First)

Component Usage:

  • Use existing components from @playground-ui/ds/components/ (component-use-existing)
  • Never create new components in the ds/ folder

Design Tokens:

  • Only use tokens from tailwind.config.ts in @playground-ui (tokens-use-existing)
  • Never modify design tokens or tailwind.config.ts (tokens-no-modification)

High-Impact Patterns

ClassName Usage:

  • No arbitrary Tailwind values except height and width (classname-no-arbitrary)
  • No className prop on DS components except h-/w- on DialogContent and Popover (classname-no-ds-override)

References

Rule files are the canonical source for detailed guidance and examples:

  • references/tailwind-best-practices-reference.md - Rule catalog with category order and rule-file paths
  • references/rules/ - Canonical individual rule files organized by category

Load only the relevant rule file when implementing or reviewing a specific styling rule. Use the catalog to choose the right rule without loading every example.

To look up a specific pattern, grep the rules directory:

grep -l "component" references/rules/
grep -l "token" references/rules/
grep -l "className" references/rules/

Rule Categories in references/rules/

  • component-* - Component usage rules (1 rule)
  • tokens-* - Design token rules (2 rules)
  • classname-* - ClassName usage rules (2 rules)
