AI agent setup

Set up the data table with a coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot and the like.

Ask your agent

Paste this into your agent:

Install shadcn-react-table in my app: https://monabbir-ahmmad.github.io/shadcn-react-table/SKILL.md

The prompt points the agent at the skill file: how to install the table (running shadcn init first when the project has no components.json), the rules that keep tables correct, where the option references are, and how to pull a docs example into the project. Every example on this site also has a Copy prompt button that asks your agent to add that example.

Install the skill

The same file installs as a skill, so your agent knows the table before you ask:

npx skills add Monabbir-Ahmmad/shadcn-react-table

Registry address

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://monabbir-ahmmad.github.io/shadcn-react-table/r/data-table.json

The same address works in Radix UI and Base UI projects; the shadcn CLI adapts the source. Languages are separate items: …/r/data-table-locale-de.json. To install by name, register the namespace once in components.json (see Installation):

{
  "registries": {
    "@shadcn-react-table": "https://monabbir-ahmmad.github.io/shadcn-react-table/r/{name}.json"
  }
}

MCP

The shadcn MCP server lets an agent browse and install from the registries in your components.json. Register the namespace above, then set up your client:

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest mcp init --client claude   # or cursor, vscode, codex, opencode

The agent can then find and add @shadcn-react-table/data-table and its languages.

Docs as Markdown

• /llms.txt — an index of every page.
• /llms-full.txt — every page in one file.
• Any page: add .md to its URL, for example /docs/guides/editing.md. Copy page at the top of each page copies the same text.

Project rules

For CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md when the skill isn't installed:

## Data table
- components/ui/data-table is shadcn-react-table (installed from its shadcn registry; edit freely).
- Before changing table options read https://monabbir-ahmmad.github.io/shadcn-react-table/docs/api/use-data-table.md;
  column options: https://monabbir-ahmmad.github.io/shadcn-react-table/docs/api/column-options.md.
- Pass `getRowId`, and keep `data` and `columns` stable (useMemo, useState or module scope).
- Table-specific column options go in `meta`; state goes through `initialState` / `state` + `on…Change`.
- Reinstall: pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://monabbir-ahmmad.github.io/shadcn-react-table/r/data-table.json --overwrite
  (replaces local edits in components/ui/data-table).
