Tailwind CSS

Style within the installed Tailwind version, existing design tokens, component patterns, and product context.

Authority and Defaults

Inspect package versions, CSS entrypoints, theme declarations, shared components, class-merging utilities, and nearby UI before editing. Those are authoritative.
Apply this catalog's preferences only where the project is silent. Read references/coding-preferences.md for that fallback style.
Prefer existing semantic tokens and components over arbitrary values, new colors, or one-off utilities.
Preserve responsive states, interaction states, accessibility, and dark-mode conventions. Do not add decorative UI or redesign beyond the request.
Use CSS Modules only when the behavior is materially clearer than utilities; preserve any project-specific Tailwind reference mechanism.
