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.

AI 生成的概览

指导使用 21st CLI 从 21st.dev 目录搜索、安装和拉取 React/shadcn 组件、主题与模板。

功能
该技能说明 21st.dev 目录的命令行工具,涵盖身份验证、计量方式,以及搜索组件、主题和模板、打印组件代码或主题 CSS、将条目安装到项目、使用 21st AI 生成组件等命令。它还涉及 logo 查询、书签、团队库以及写入 MCP 客户端配置。它仅为说明文档,不附带脚本。
适用场景
当用户想要从 21st.dev 查找、安装或拉取组件、主题或模板的代码,或想从 shell 或 CI 脚本化访问目录时使用。它也用于在含有 components.json 的项目中自动激活,以便在手工编写 UI 之前先搜索 21st。
运行要求
需要 21st CLI(通过 npx @21st-dev/cli 运行)以及对 21st.dev 的网络访问。身份验证需要浏览器登录会话,或通过参数或环境变量传入 21st_sk_ API 密钥。安装组件依赖 shadcn 和项目的包管理器;AI 生成需要单独启用的 AI 访问权限。

21st CLI — find, install & generate from the terminal

The 21st CLI (npx @21st-dev/cli, bin 21st) is the command-line surface for the 21st.dev catalog. Search first, install what fits, and only hand-write UI when nothing matches. To publish your own components/themes/templates, use the 21st-registry skill; to publish a project's design as a theme, use 21st-design-sync.

Auth (do this once)

Two interchangeable credentials, both sent as the API key:

  1. Login session — npx @21st-dev/cli login opens the browser and saves a token to ~/.config/21st/auth.json. Best for interactive/dev machines.
  2. API key — 21st_sk_… from https://21st.dev/mcp (or https://21st.dev/settings/api-keys). Pass via --api-key <key> or the TWENTYFIRST_TOKEN / API_KEY_21ST env var. Best for CI.

21st whoami shows the signed-in account; 21st usage shows retrieval tier/quota and the 21st AI generation status, not an AI credit balance. For structured status, use MCP get_usage.aiGenerationEnabled or CLI 1.17.1+ 21st usage --json. Missing or unknown status does not grant AI access. 21st logout clears the saved login.

Metering

Metadata (search, previews, a theme's CSS) is free. Retrieving component code (21st get, install) has a free daily quota; Builder includes unlimited retrieval. Hosted 21st AI requires separate AI access and consumes AI credits. Base Builder has AI off. Check 21st usage before choosing generation: when AI is not explicitly enabled, search and retrieve code, then adapt it with your own coding agent. Do not retry a generation denied with ai_subscription_required until AI access is enabled.


Find

bash
# Search everything (components + themes + templates)21st search "pricing table" --limit 1021st search button --type c        # components only (c | theme | template)21st search dark --type theme# Filters: --tag <slug> --color <bucket> --sort <s> --free|--paid#          --author <username> --mine --liked   --json for machine output

Always search before hand-writing a component — a close match is usually faster to install and adapt than to build from scratch.

Logos

bash
21st logo discord            # search brand + UI SVG logos (free, no login)21st logo "next js" --limit 5 --json

Prints each logo's name and SVG url(s) to curl straight into a project. Uses the open svgl.app library; free and unmetered on every plan.

Pull code

bash
# Print a component's code + demo (by the id from search)21st get 143 [--json]
# Print a theme's CSS (by a theme id from `search --type theme`)21st theme <id> [--json]

Install

bash
# Install a component into the current project (shadcn under the hood)21st add <user>/<slug>            # e.g. 21st add shadcn/button21st add @<team>/<slug>           # from a team library# --print to dump the shadcn command instead of running it

21st add resolves the registry item, writes it to components/ui/<slug>.tsx, and installs npm deps with the project's package manager. Public/unlisted items also work with stock shadcn: npx shadcn@latest add "https://21st.dev/r/<user>/<slug>".

Generate

When nothing in the catalog fits and 21st usage explicitly reports AI generation enabled, sketch it with hosted 21st AI and iterate from the terminal. That loop (21st generate → generation → iterate → take) lives in the 21st-ai skill. With AI off, adapt catalog code locally instead:

bash
21st generate "a glassy pricing section with a monthly/yearly toggle"

Opens a preview; from there you edit any variant and pull its code. See the 21st-ai skill for the full generate/iterate/grab-code flow and metering.


Bookmarks, teams & MCP config

bash
21st bookmarks [--type component|theme|template]21st bookmark <id> --type <kind> [--remove]     # heart / un-heart21st lists                          # your bookmark lists21st list <listId>
21st teams                          # your teams21st team <teamId>                  # a team's libraries21st team-components <teamId> [--library <id>]
21st init --client cursor|claude|codex|vscode|devin [--write]      # write MCP config21st install-skill                  # install the 21st skills globally

21st-dev

审查现有 UI 的无障碍、响应式与设计系统缺陷,并提供安全的确定性修复。

Design & Creative124周前更新

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 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`.
