## What it is
daisyUI is a free, open-source component library for Tailwind CSS that adds semantic class names like btn, card, and toggle on top of Tailwind's utility classes. It is a pure-CSS Tailwind plugin with zero JS dependencies, 35 built-in themes, and works with any framework.

## Use cases
- style buttons, cards, and forms without writing hundreds of utility classes
- add a design system with themes to a Tailwind CSS project
- build a responsive UI with prebuilt accessible components
- switch between light and dark themes without JavaScript
- generate daisyUI code with AI coding agents via MCP server or skill
- quickly prototype a frontend with ready-made components

## When to choose
- you already use Tailwind CSS and want reusable component class names
- you want a themeable design system with pure CSS and no JS runtime
- you work across frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, Laravel, etc.) since it's framework-agnostic

## When to avoid
- you don't use Tailwind CSS in your project
- you need complex interactive components with built-in JS behavior
- you want a fully custom design system without prebuilt component styles
