Use when migrating Tailwind v3 to v4, configuring CSS-first @theme tokens, debugging Oxide engine errors, dealing with the absence of tailwind.config.js, container queries (@container) usage, layer cascade problems, or "dynamic class names not generating". Triggers: switching from `@tailwind base` to `@import "tailwindcss"`, RSC/Next.js streaming + CSS ordering, dark-mode strategy choices, custom variants via @variant, content-scanning glob tuning. NOT for Tailwind v3 (different config model), CSS-in-JS frameworks, vanilla CSS architecture (BEM/SMACSS), or react-native styling.

From the source SKILL.md

Tailwind v4 is a different tool than v3. The PostCSS-based JIT engine is gone, replaced by Oxide (Rust). The JS config file is gone, replaced by CSS-first @theme blocks. Plugins from v3 mostly need rewriting. If you're migrating, expect to rebuild — not patch — your config layer.
