Introduction
Create UI is a design code system. Open-code components and one semantic token system you own and theme, built on Radix, CVA, and Tailwind CSS v4.
What you get
- Open code. Every component lives in your repo. Changing one is editing a file, not fighting an abstraction.
- One system, many themes. Semantic tokens like
bg-error-base,text-body, andshadow-neutral-md, plus themes that map them. Retheme once and every component follows. Dark mode comes for free. - Composition. One predictable interface across the whole set:
asChild,data-slot, variant props. The third-party primitives we wrap speak it too. - Beautiful defaults. Considered styling that looks right on its own and right together, and stays simple to override.
- Distribution. A flat-file schema and a CLI move components between projects and frameworks. Publish your own the same way.
- AI-ready. Open code and a consistent API that models read, extend, and generate against, over the same registry and MCP you use.
Start
- Installation scaffolds a new project or adds Create UI to an existing one.
- Components is the full set, with live examples.
- Colors is the token system everything is styled against.
