Measured entry
neobrutalism-tabs
A neobrutalist tab set shipped as a TypeScript shadcn registry component. It wraps Radix Tabs for interaction and accessibility, then applies Tailwind utility classes for the bordered list, active trigger, and focus states. It depends on Radix Tabs, a local cn helper, the @ alias, and project theme tokens such as main, border, ring, and rounded-base.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 32.22s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/cut/components/ui/tabs.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A sound choice inside an existing neobrutalist shadcn codebase: it builds, mounts, and clears the automated accessibility scan. It needs a shadcn-style setup and does not mount bare, while narrow layouts require an explicit overflow strategy.
Use it if
- Your app already uses shadcn conventions and the matching neobrutalist theme tokens.
- You want Radix-managed keyboard behavior with a bold bordered tab treatment.
- You need composable root, list, trigger, and content primitives that accept local class overrides.
Skip it if
- Your layout must work at narrow widths without adding wrapping, scrolling, or responsive overrides.
- Your project does not use Tailwind or cannot adopt the component's custom theme tokens.
- You want a dependency-free tab implementation or need to minimize the added client bundle cost.
Install
| Declared dependencies | @radix-ui/react-tabs |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, install Radix Tabs, add a class-merging cn helper, configure the @ import alias, and provide Tailwind plus the expected color, border, ring, font, and radius theme tokens. Add responsive wrapping or horizontal scrolling for narrow tab lists.
