Panda CSS

Reference Panda CSS LLM-optimized docs before writing or reviewing Panda CSS code.

Docs Sources

First fetch https://panda-css.com/llms.txt — this is the index of all available LLM docs.

Then fetch the relevant section-specific docs based on the task:

Section	URL	When to use
Full docs	https://panda-css.com/llms-full.txt	General reference, broad tasks
Overview	https://panda-css.com/llms.txt/overview	Setup, installation, framework integrations
Concepts	https://panda-css.com/llms.txt/concepts	css(), recipes (cva/sva), patterns, conditions, cascade layers, style merging, JSX style context
Theming	https://panda-css.com/llms.txt/theming	Tokens, semantic tokens, text styles, layer styles, animation styles
Utilities	https://panda-css.com/llms.txt/utilities	Style properties, shorthands, spacing, sizing, typography, effects, gradients, focus ring
Customization	https://panda-css.com/llms.txt/customization	Custom conditions, utilities, patterns, presets, config functions, theme overrides
Guides	https://panda-css.com/llms.txt/guides	Migration, dynamic styling, debugging, advanced patterns
References	https://panda-css.com/llms.txt/references	CLI commands, panda.config.ts options, full config reference

Use WebFetch to retrieve the correct reference before starting any task. If the index lists different section URLs, follow the index and ignore the table above.

Usage

1. Fetch llms.txt index to check for any new/updated doc URLs.
2. Confirm Panda CSS is installed by checking for @pandacss/dev in package.json/lockfiles. If missing, pause and alert the user before proceeding.
3. Note the installed Panda version (v0 vs v1+). If docs don’t match the installed major version, flag it before continuing.
4. In monorepos or multiple apps, inspect the relevant package path or ask the user which app to target.
5. Check for panda.config.ts (or .js/.mjs) to understand tokens, recipes, patterns, and framework config. If absent, ask whether to scaffold a minimal config.
6. Fetch the matching section-specific docs for the task at hand (reuse a cached copy during the session unless llms.txt changed).
7. Read the relevant sections for the features needed.
8. Write or review code following the documented patterns.
