A new project now starts with one shadcn command, and @fulldev/init writes to the stylesheet components.json names without ever resetting a site's colors.

npx shadcn@latest init https://ui.full.dev/r/styles/base-<style>/base.json
npx shadcn@latest apply <preset> --only theme,font   # optional, for a preset

What changes

  • New @fulldev/base item (registry:base, extends: "none"), the type shadcn/ui documents for a design system base:

    • Its config writes components.json with style: base-<style> and the @fulldev registry.
    • Its cssVars and css go into the stylesheet named there.
    • extends: "none" skips shadcn's React style index, so @base-ui/react and lucide-react are never added (full.dev gap 8).
  • @fulldev/init is a registry:lib with only css (imports, base layer, reduced motion), the class helper and dependencies, instead of a file that targeted src/styles/global.css (gap 7). It carries no theme tokens, so shadcn add @fulldev/init in an existing project never touches its colors. Sol showed that even "missing tokens only" can override a site whose tokens live in @layer base or under :root, .theme.

  • Radius scale. New setups get shadcn/ui's current scale (--radius-sm = 0.6 × --radius up to --radius-4xl). The docs site uses the same scale so previews match. At the docs site's radius, sm, md and xl keep their values.

  • Theme tokens. base keeps Fulldev's colors and shadow scale and drops tokens no component uses (--shadow-x and the other shadow parts, --spacing, --tracking-normal, --destructive-foreground). Existing stylesheets keep whatever they have.

  • Docs previews match installs.

    • Prettier reformatted registry/styles/adapted/*.css after the registry build, which reordered classes and changed how cn merges conflicting ones. Sera's input group lost border-b-input in the docs while installs keep it.
    • The adapted files are now in .prettierignore, and registry:check diffs them.
    • Install output (public/r) is unchanged.
  • Tests. tests/registry.test.mjs (pnpm test, part of check) uses Node's test runner with no new dependencies. It checks:

    • every source file renders the same in the docs and in the committed install, for all eight styles;
    • the Sera case explicitly;
    • each style's base item and catalog entry;
    • that init is a registry:lib without theme tokens and shares the rest with base;
    • that no item writes into src/styles/;
    • that every item is served in every style.

    Formatting the adapted files the old way makes two of them fail.

  • Scripts.

    • scripts/styles.mjs exports transformSource, shared by the build and the tests.
    • registry-styles.mjs sets config.style per style, in each base.json and in each style's catalog.
    • registry-meta.mjs keeps schema fields it does not list.
    • registry-validate.mjs treats @/styles/global.css (imported by Layout) as the project's own stylesheet.
  • Docs.

    • Installation, Presets, the create page, the README and .agents/skills/fulldev/cli.md show the new setup.
    • An existing project sets a base- style if it has a legacy or radix- one, adds the registry, and runs add @fulldev/init.
    • To switch styles, set style in components.json, run apply --only theme,font, then add --overwrite the components.
    • The docs warn against a full apply: it adds @base-ui/react and lucide-react, and turns a legacy new-york config into radix-vega, which Fulldev UI does not serve.
    • The docs also say how to move an existing stylesheet to the new radius scale.

Kept on purpose

  • Fulldev's shadow scale stays, so new installs look the same.
  • Layout keeps importing @/styles/global.css, so a site that reinstalls it keeps its styles.
  • public/r/{name}.json stays the Vega output, so existing registry URLs keep working.

Risk for existing sites

  • None until a site runs a command.
  • Reinstalling components does not touch the stylesheet.
  • add @fulldev/init writes no theme tokens.
  • Only shadcn init or apply replace theme tokens, and the docs say so.

Independent review

Sol reviewed all three PRs. Verdicts: #248 merge, #249 merge, #247 merge after two fixes. Both are in: no theme tokens in init, and guidance for legacy styles.

Verified

  • Scratch Astro 7 project, fresh, from this PR's deploy preview:
    • init …/base-sera/init.json (before the split) and init …/base-maia/base.json (after, built locally) set the style and the @fulldev registry. They add only class-variance-authority, cn, shadcn and tw-animate-css.
    • add @fulldev/input-group @fulldev/button @fulldev/section installs with border-b-input.
    • apply bJfEY5IW --only theme,font adds only the font package.
    • astro build passes.
  • Scratch project, existing, with --primary customized and the legacy /r/{name}.json registry:
    • add @fulldev/badge @fulldev/card --overwrite leaves the stylesheet alone.
    • The final add …/init.json leaves a stylesheet with --primary in @layer base { :root, .custom-theme { … } .dark { … } } unchanged. It only adds the imports, base styles and reduced-motion rule.
    • The earlier registry:base version of init reset --primary to Fulldev blue; that's why the setup is a separate item now.
  • Switching a new-york project: set style to base-nova, apply --only theme,font, then add @fulldev/button --overwrite gives the nova button.
  • Checks: pnpm check (format, types, lint, registry check, tests) and pnpm build (site and html-validate) pass. main, including Align scripts, Node pin and docs with the templates #251 and Apply council follow-ups to styles and the create page #252, is merged in with a merge commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added style-specific setup options for new projects, with registry configuration and light/dark theme styling.
    • Added setup for existing projects that provides helpers, dependencies, and base styles while preserving existing theme tokens and colors.
    • Updated installation and preset guidance for choosing styles and applying theme or style changes.
  • Improvements
    • Refined component styles across multiple design styles, including inputs, menus, tabs, and focus states.
    • Updated radius scaling to support additional size options.

@fulldev/init becomes a shadcn registry:base item with extends none, like a
shadcn/ui design system base. shadcn init writes components.json with the
@FULLDEV registry and the style, and merges the theme into the stylesheet
named in components.json, without shadcn/ui's React dependencies.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Init registry items now provide style-specific base metadata and inline CSS instead of a bundled global stylesheet. New-project and existing-project instructions use separate initialization flows. Registry generation, validation, adapted styles, tests, package checks, documentation, and radius tokens are updated.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 26cca

Existing projects receive the promised base styles, and new-project commands use the selected style. No identified issue needs resolution before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 26cca

The split reduces unintended theme changes in existing projects. No exploitable security regression was established, but shared-preset validation and the external installer's partial-write recovery remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected flow reaches a viewer's browser preset state and, after deliberate user execution, the local project files and dependencies managed by the installer. Any command-content attack would require unsafe style content to survive decoding and a user to execute the displayed command; neither arbitrary style reachability nor such an exploit was established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The new raw style substitution creates a conditional shared-preset-to-shell-text path. Local normalizeConfig validates color selections but preserves style; the unavailable external decoder determines whether an attacker can supply shell-significant content. This remains a proof gap, not a verified command-injection finding or an active PR concern.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Normal style selection uses options derived from PRESET_STYLES. Command rendering uses textContent, and explicit clipboard actions copy encoded preset data or an encoded preset link rather than shell commands. These controls limit browser execution and automatic command delivery, but do not establish the decoder's handling of crafted shared presets.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Removing theme variables and direct stylesheet-file delivery from existing-project init narrows its declared mutation scope. Ordering is documented, but partial installation, interruption, repetition, concurrent invocation, and recovery remain external installer responsibilities; no newly weakened security recovery guarantee was established.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate style against the supported style list at the command-rendering boundary so shell-text safety does not depend solely on external decoding or persisted browser state. This is defense in depth, not remediation of a verified vulnerability.

🟡 Minor · Add the class-based dark variant to the shared init CSS. · registry.json:3998-4110

registry.json:3998-4110
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add the class-based dark variant to the shared init CSS.

When an existing stylesheet has a different @custom-variant, shadcn 4.21.1’s Tailwind v4 updater skips adding dark; it checks for any custom variant, not specifically dark. This init item’s css does not include the dark variant. Tailwind then uses its prefers-color-scheme default for dark: utilities, while Fulldev’s ThemeProvider toggles .dark. Dark styles, including the theme-toggle icons, may not follow a manual theme change when it conflicts with the OS color scheme. Add the variant to the shared CSS so the generated style-specific init items include it.

Suggested fix
         "@import \"shadcn/tailwind.css\"": {},
+        "@custom-variant dark (&amp;:is(.dark *))": {},
         "@layer base": {

Prettier reordered the generated adapted style files after the registry
build, so the docs merged conflicting classes differently from installs,
for example Sera's input group lost border-b-input. The adapted files are
no longer formatted, registry:check diffs them, and node tests check that
every source file renders the same in docs and install for all styles,
plus the init item's per-style config. registry-meta keeps unlisted fields.

shadcn always replaces a registry:base item's theme tokens, so add
@fulldev/init on an existing project reset its colors. init is a
registry:lib again, which only adds missing tokens and still writes to the
stylesheet named in components.json. The registry:base setup moves to a new
base item that registry-meta generates from init.

@silveltman silveltman changed the title Set up projects with shadcn init from a Fulldev registry base Set up projects with @fulldev/base and keep site colors in @fulldev/init Oct 3, 2026
The shadcn CLI can still override a site's colors when it adds missing
tokens, for example when the site defines them inside @layer base or under
combined selectors. init now writes no theme tokens; base keeps its own.
The install docs cover legacy and radix- styles before add @fulldev/init.

On CodeRabbit's outside-diff note about adding @custom-variant dark to init's CSS: not applied. I tested it with shadcn 4.21.1 in a scratch Astro project. When a stylesheet already defines dark differently, such as @custom-variant dark (&:where(.dark, .dark *)) from the old Fulldev init file that existing sites have, the CLI appends a second dark variant instead of skipping it. That would change dark mode on existing installs. New projects get the variant from shadcn init with @fulldev/base. The only uncovered case is a stylesheet with some other custom variant and no dark one at all, which is rare and safer to leave to the site.
