\n\n## Why HeroUI?\n\nHeroUI (previously NextUI) is a production-ready React component library that combines the accessibility rigor of [React Aria](https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-aria/) with the utility-first styling of [Tailwind CSS v4](https://tailwindcss.com/). It ships a clean compound component API (`Card.Header`, `Card.Content`, `Select.Item`, …), requires no `` wrapper, and works out of the box with React 19 and Next.js.\n\n- **Accessible by default** — Built on React Aria for WCAG-compliant keyboard, focus, and screen-reader behavior\n- **Tailwind CSS v4** — Modern engine, no CSS-in-JS runtime, smaller output, faster builds\n- **Compound components** — Composable API (`Card.Header`, `Card.Content`) instead of deeply nested props\n- **Zero boilerplate** — No Provider wrapper needed (unlike Chakra, MUI)\n- **AI-native** — MCP server, `llms.txt`, and agent skills so AI assistants understand your components\n- **Battle-tested** — Previously known as NextUI, trusted by thousands of production apps\n\n## Packages\n\n| Package | Description |\n|---|---|\n| [`@heroui/react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@heroui/react) | Full component bundle |\n| [`@heroui/styles`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@heroui/styles) | Styles / theme only |\n| Individual packages | e.g. `@heroui/button`, `@heroui/modal` — tree-shakeable per-component imports |\n\n## Getting Started\n\nVisit [heroui.com/docs/react/getting-started/quick-start](https://heroui.com/docs/react/getting-started/quick-start) to get started with HeroUI.\n\n```bash\nnpm install @heroui/react\n```\n\n## Who Is This For?\n\nHeroUI is a good fit if you are building:\n\n- **SaaS applications** — forms, tables, overlays, and notifications out of the box\n- **Dashboards & admin panels** — data-dense layouts with consistent design tokens\n- **E-commerce storefronts** — performant, accessible, SEO-friendly components\n- **Marketing sites & landing pages** — polished UI without a heavyweight runtime\n- **Any React / Next.js project** that values design quality and accessibility\n\n## AI-Powered Development\n\nHeroUI is built for the AI-assisted development workflow.\n\n| Tool | What it does |\n|---|---|\n| **MCP Server** (`@heroui/react-mcp`) | Components that understand your theme — install the server in Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible editor |\n| **llms.txt** | Available at [heroui.com/llms.txt](https://heroui.com/llms.txt) — structured context for LLMs about every component |\n| **Agent Skills** | Run `npx heroui-cli agents-md` to install skills for Cursor, Claude Code, and more |\n\nWorks with **Cursor**, **Claude Code**, **Windsurf**, **GitHub Copilot**, and any tool that supports MCP or `llms.txt`.\n\n## Compared To\n\n| Library | How HeroUI differs |\n|---|---|\n| **shadcn/ui** | HeroUI is batteries-included with a consistent design system; shadcn is copy-paste-customize |\n| **MUI** | HeroUI is lighter, Tailwind-native, no CSS-in-JS runtime overhead |\n| **Chakra UI** | HeroUI uses React Aria (stronger a11y primitives) and Tailwind v4 (better perf) |\n| **Mantine** | HeroUI has AI tooling (MCP, llms.txt), Tailwind-first styling |\n\n## Documentation\n\n- **Latest (v3)**: [heroui.com](https://heroui.com)\n- **v2**: [v2.heroui.com](https://v2.heroui.com)\n\n## Storybook\n\nVisit [storybook-v3.heroui.com](https://storybook-v3.heroui.com/) to view the storybook for all components.\n\n## Roadmap\n\nVisit [herouiv3.featurebase.app/roadmap](https://herouiv3.featurebase.app/roadmap) to view the roadmap for HeroUI v3.\n\n## Figma\n\nVisit the [HeroUI Figma Kit (v3)](https://www.figma.com/community/file/1546526812159103429/heroui-figma-kit-v3) to view the design kit.\n\n## Community\n\nWe're excited to see the community adopt HeroUI, raise issues, and provide feedback.\nWhether it's a feature request, bug report, or a project to showcase, please get involved!\n\n- [Discord](https://discord.gg/9b6yyZKmH4)\n- [X](https://x.com/hero_ui)\n- [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/heroui-inc/heroui/discussions)\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are always welcome!\n\nSee [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/heroui-inc/heroui/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) for ways to get started.\n\nPlease adhere to this project's [CODE_OF_CONDUCT](https://github.com/heroui-inc/heroui/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/)\n","readmeFilename":"README.md"}
