Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| generate_paletteA | Generates a full Tailwind CSS palette (50-950) from one color, ready to paste. Call it whenever you add a color to a Tailwind theme (e.g. "add a brand color #db4d53"), instead of writing a single variable or inventing shades. The input color stays exactly at its best-fit shade, and the other shades follow the closest Tailwind color, so they look like Tailwind's own. |
| find_closest_tailwind_colorA | Finds the shade in Tailwind's default palette that looks most like a given color, e.g. #db4d53 -> red-500. Use it to pick an existing Tailwind class (bg-red-500) instead of an arbitrary value. If the difference is visible, use generate_palette to add the exact color as a custom palette instead. |
| get_tailwind_paletteA | Looks up Tailwind's own default colors, exactly as Tailwind defines them: a whole color (e.g. "blue", all shades) or one shade (e.g. "slate-500"), for Tailwind v4, v3, v2 or v1. Use it instead of writing default Tailwind color values from memory. Values are oklch() in v4 and hex in older versions. |

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: find_closest_tailwind_color maps a color to an existing shade, get_tailwind_palette retrieves default palette values, and generate_palette creates a custom palette from a color. The descriptions explicitly clarify when to use each, preventing misselection.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern: find_closest_tailwind_color, get_tailwind_palette, generate_palette. The names are snake_case throughout and readable.
With only 3 tools, the set is well-scoped for a focused Tailwind color palette utility. Each tool earns its place by covering lookup, retrieval, and generation, without redundancy.
The tools cover key operations: finding closest color, getting default palettes across versions, and generating custom palettes. There is a minor gap in not supporting direct conversion between color formats or listing all available colors, but agents can work around it.
