Search, install and pull code from the 21st.dev catalog with the `21st` CLI (`@21st-dev/cli`): find React/shadcn components, themes and templates, print a component's code or a theme's CSS, install an item into the project, or generate a new component with 21st AI. Use whenever the user says "search/find a component/theme on 21st", "install our team's Button", "add @user/slug", "pull that component's code", "найди компонент на 21st", "поставь наш компонент", or wants to script catalog access from the shell/CI. Auto-activate when a project has a `components.json` — search 21st before hand-writing UI.

Ask your agent to install it
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.
Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-21st-dev-skill-21st-cli-use/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install @21st-dev/21st-cli-useAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.

21st Ui Review
21st-dev
Reviews existing UI for accessibility, responsiveness, and design-system defects, with safe deterministic fixes.
21st Ui Explore
21st-dev
Explore and compare multiple meaningfully different UI directions grounded in the current project's design system and 21st inspiration. Use when the user wants options, variants, concepts, a redesign direction, visual experimentation, or is unsure how a new interface should look. Trigger for requests such as "show me three directions", "explore alternatives", "what could this page look like", or "generate variants". Do not use for a straightforward implementation with an already-selected direction.
21st Ui Build
21st-dev
Build or substantially change production UI using the current project's design context, existing components, and grounded 21st inspiration. Use when implementing a page, section, component, responsive redesign, or visual polish in an existing web project. Trigger for requests such as "build this UI", "implement this screen", "make this page production-ready", or "use 21st to create the interface". Use 21st-ui-explore first when the visual direction is intentionally undecided, and 21st-ui-review for critique-only work.
21st Registry
21st-dev
Publish your own work to 21st.dev and manage it from the terminal with the `21st` CLI (`@21st-dev/cli`): publish a React component to a team library, publish a CSS theme or a template listing, edit / unpublish / delete your published items, list and reopen existing component work, and read/replace your public profile page (bento board). Triggers when the user says "publish/share/upload this to 21st", "залей в наш регистр", "опубликуй компонент/тему/темплейт", "share with team", "make this reusable", "unpublish/edit/delete my component", "change its visibility", "find/open my old component or draft", "найди/открой мой старый компонент или драфт", "add this to my 21st profile/bento", "update my profile page", "обнови мой профиль на 21st", "добавь блок в бенто", "add controls/knobs to my demo", "сделай демо с контролами". For finding and installing existing items use `21st-cli-use`; for turning a project's design tokens into a theme use `21st-design-sync`.
21st Design Sync
21st-dev
Reads a project's shadcn/Tailwind design tokens and publishes them as a public theme on 21st.dev.
21st Ai
21st-dev
Generate and iterate on UI with 21st AI from the terminal via the `21st` CLI (`@21st-dev/cli`): sketch a UI from a prompt, preview the variants in the browser, edit any variant in place with a natural-language change, and pull the final code into the project. Use whenever the user wants to BUILD / SKETCH new UI ("sketch a pricing page", "generate a hero with 21st", "make me a <X> section"), ITERATE on a generated draft ("edit the third variant", "add a toggle to that take"), or GRAB the code of a draft ("pull that variant's code", "сгенери UI на 21st", "поправь третий вариант", "забери код того наброска"). For finding/installing existing components use the `21st-cli-use` skill; to publish your own, `21st-registry`.
