Install ReUI (MCP, skill, @reui registry, Tailwind v4, shadcn base-nova) and move the shared UI onto it: Button, Tag, Check, Input/Textarea, Segmented, Alert, Panel, Dialog, Tooltip, Menu and Select (Popover), Toast (sonner), the Table frame (DataGrid), the Dashboard KPI strip, the shnt Ops palette, Geist and the type scale. Design only: behaviour, texts and roles are unchanged. Tests that asserted the old DOM were updated; the tests now format numbers in English wherever they run. docs/reui-migration-plan.md records the plan and its decisions.

# CLI: registry setup, license, non-interactive install
|
|
|
|
## Registry setup (one-time, per project)
|
|
|
|
Free items (the ReUI components and all `c-*` examples) need only the plain string registry in `components.json`:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{ "registries": { "@reui": "https://reui.io/r/{style}/{name}.json" } }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Premium items (blocks and Motion Icons) require a ReUI license at install:
|
|
|
|
1. Add the key to `.env.local`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
REUI_LICENSE_KEY=your-license-key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Switch `components.json` to the authenticated object form:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"registries": {
|
|
"@reui": {
|
|
"url": "https://reui.io/r/{style}/{name}.json",
|
|
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${REUI_LICENSE_KEY}" }
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The shadcn CLI expands `${REUI_LICENSE_KEY}` from `.env.local` inside `components.json`. MCP client configs expand environment variables too, but each client has its OWN syntax, so wire the ReUI MCP server with the form that client understands:
|
|
|
|
- Claude Code (`.mcp.json`, `~/.claude.json`): `"Authorization": "Bearer ${REUI_LICENSE_KEY}"`
|
|
- Cursor (`.cursor/mcp.json`) and VS Code: `"Authorization": "Bearer ${env:REUI_LICENSE_KEY}"`
|
|
- OpenCode (`opencode.json`): `"Authorization": "Bearer {env:REUI_LICENSE_KEY}"`
|
|
- Codex (`~/.codex/config.toml`): `bearer_token_env_var = "REUI_LICENSE_KEY"` - Codex reads the variable itself, so there is no header to write
|
|
|
|
Only a client with no interpolation at all needs the raw `reui_pat_...` token, and then only in a file that is never committed. Copying the `components.json` form into a client that does not expand it is the common failure: the literal `${REUI_LICENSE_KEY}` placeholder is sent to the server as the credential and every call comes back 401.
|
|
|
|
The MCP `get_project_context` tool returns the right config. Full guide: https://reui.io/docs/registry?ref=skill
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
Use the project's package runner (check `packageManager`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx shadcn@latest add @reui/<name> --yes # npm
|
|
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add @reui/<name> --yes # pnpm
|
|
bunx --bun shadcn@latest add @reui/<name> --yes # bun
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`--yes` skips confirmation prompts. The CLI auto-detects the package manager from the lockfile (there is no `--package-manager` flag). It also resolves the correct base+style variant from `components.json`, so do not pass a style.
|
|
|
|
`<name>` is the item name exactly as a ReUI tool returned it. The `@reui/` prefix is for ReUI items only:
|
|
|
|
- The shadcn/ui components ReUI builds on (`button`, `dialog`, `select`, `card`, ...) are not ReUI items. Install them from shadcn by bare name: `npx shadcn@latest add button --yes`.
|
|
- `badge` and `alert` exist in both registries: `@reui/badge` and `@reui/alert` are ReUI's components, bare `badge` and `alert` are shadcn's.
|
|
- In an item's `registryDependencies`, a `@reui/<name>` entry is a ReUI item and a bare name is a shadcn/ui item. `add` installs both, so you never add them by hand.
|
|
- Templates are not registry items. Download a template from its page on reui.io (https://reui.io/templates?ref=skill); no `shadcn add` command installs one.
|
|
|
|
## Handling prompts and conflicts
|
|
|
|
- **Always pass `--yes`** so the CLI does not block on confirmation prompts.
|
|
- **Do NOT pass `--overwrite` by default.** If the CLI reports an existing file, read the output and resolve deliberately: install under a different name, adjust the path, or ask the user. Only use `--overwrite` when the user explicitly wants to replace a file.
|
|
- **Preview first when touching an existing project**: `npx shadcn@latest add @reui/<name> --dry-run` shows what would change; `--diff <file>` shows a specific file's diff. Use these before overwriting.
|
|
- Run from the **project root** so `components.json` and `.env.local` are found.
|
|
|
|
## Free vs premium boundary
|
|
|
|
- Public, no key: `c-*` examples and the ReUI components (`@reui/data-grid`, `@reui/badge`, ...) that those examples depend on.
|
|
- Key required at install: blocks (`@reui/<category>-N`) need a Pro or Ultimate license; Motion Icons (`@reui/icons/...`) need Ultimate.
|
|
- Templates are downloads from their page on reui.io, not installs: free ones need only a ReUI account, and each template's page says what the others need.
|
|
|
|
If an install 401/403s, the license key is missing, invalid, or the plan does not cover that resource (blocks: Pro or higher; icons: Ultimate). Point the user to https://reui.io/account?ref=skill (their key) or https://reui.io/pricing?ref=skill (upgrade).
|
|
|
|
If an install 404s, the name is not a ReUI item. Read the CLI's error message, which names the right install command when there is one, or look the name up with `get_install_command` or `search`.
