Quick Start (New Project):
# 1. Create project
mkdir my-webflow-components && cd my-webflow-components
npm init -y
# 2. Install dependencies
npm install react react-dom
npm install -D typescript @types/react @types/react-dom
npm install -D @webflow/webflow-cli @webflow/data-types @webflow/react
# 3. Create webflow.json
echo '{"library":{"name":"My Library","components":["./src/**/*.webflow.tsx"]}}' > webflow.json
# 4. Create component directory
mkdir -p src/components/Button
Then create your component files (.tsx, .webflow.tsx, .module.css). See Example 1 in references/EXAMPLES.md for complete file contents including component, definition, and CSS files.
Deploy with:
npx webflow library share
After setup, verify the project is correctly configured:
| Check | How to Verify |
|---|---|
webflow.json exists in project root | cat webflow.json |
| Dependencies installed | npm list @webflow/webflow-cli |
| Bundle compiles without errors | npx webflow library bundle --public-path http://localhost:4000/ |
| At least one component found | Check bundle output for "Found N component(s)" |

# Local Dev Setup
Set up a new Webflow Code Components project from scratch.
## When to Use This Skill
**Use when:**
- Starting a brand new code components project
- User asks to set up, initialize, or create a new project
- Adding code components to an existing React project
- Setting up the development environment for the first time
**Do NOT use when:**
- Project already exists and is configured (just answer questions directly)
- Creating individual components (use component-scaffold instead)
- Deploying components (use deploy-guide instead)
## Instructions
### Phase 1: Assess Current State
1. **Check if project exists**:
- Is there an existing package.json?
- Is there an existing webflow.json?
- What's the current project structure?
2. **Determine setup type**:
- New project from scratch
- Add to existing React project
- Add to existing Next.js/Vite project
### Phase 2: Project Initialization
3. **Create project structure** (if new):
- Initialize npm project
- Set up TypeScript
- Create folder structure
4. **Install dependencies**:
- Core: React, TypeScript
- Webflow: CLI, data-types, react utils
- Optional: Styling libraries
### Phase 3: Configuration
5. **Create webflow.json**:
- Set library name
- Configure component glob pattern
- Set up globals if needed
6. **Configure TypeScript**:
- Set up tsconfig.json
- Enable JSX support
### Phase 4: Create Starter Files
7. **Create example component**:
- Simple Button component
- Definition file
- Basic styling
8. **Create globals file** (optional):
- For shared styles
- For decorators
### Phase 5: Verify Setup
9. **Verify bundle compiles**:
- Run `npx webflow library bundle --public-path http://localhost:4000/` to catch build errors locally
- This verifies your components, imports, and configuration are correct
- Full testing in the Webflow Designer requires deploying with `npx webflow library share`
10. **Provide next steps**:
- How to create more components
- How to deploy
- Development workflow
## Examples
For detailed step-by-step examples, see [references/EXAMPLES.md](references/EXAMPLES.md).
**Available examples:**
1. **New Project from Scratch** - Complete setup with React, TypeScript, and CSS Modules
2. **Add to Existing React Project** - Integrate code components into an existing codebase
3. **With Tailwind CSS** - Setup with Tailwind CSS support
**Quick Start (New Project):**
```bash
# 1. Create project
mkdir my-webflow-components && cd my-webflow-components
npm init -y
# 2. Install dependencies
npm install react react-dom
npm install -D typescript @types/react @types/react-dom
npm install -D @webflow/webflow-cli @webflow/data-types @webflow/react
# 3. Create webflow.json
echo '{"library":{"name":"My Library","components":["./src/**/*.webflow.tsx"]}}' > webflow.json
# 4. Create component directory
mkdir -p src/components/Button
```
Then create your component files (.tsx, .webflow.tsx, .module.css). See Example 1 in [references/EXAMPLES.md](references/EXAMPLES.md) for complete file contents including component, definition, and CSS files.
Deploy with:
```bash
npx webflow library share
```
## Validation
After setup, verify the project is correctly configured:
| Check | How to Verify |
|-------|---------------|
| `webflow.json` exists in project root | `cat webflow.json` |
| Dependencies installed | `npm list @webflow/webflow-cli` |
| Bundle compiles without errors | `npx webflow library bundle --public-path http://localhost:4000/` |
| At least one component found | Check bundle output for "Found N component(s)" |
## Guidelines
### Minimum Requirements
Every code components project needs:
1. **package.json** with dependencies
2. **webflow.json** with library config
3. **tsconfig.json** (for TypeScript)
4. At least one `.webflow.tsx` file
### Recommended Structure
```
project/
├── src/
│ ├── components/
│ │ └── [ComponentName]/
│ │ ├── [ComponentName].tsx
│ │ ├── [ComponentName].webflow.tsx
│ │ └── [ComponentName].module.css
│ ├── hooks/ # Custom hooks
│ ├── utils/ # Utilities
│ ├── declarations.d.ts # CSS module types
│ ├── globals.ts # Decorators/global imports
│ └── globals.css # Global styles
├── package.json
├── tsconfig.json
├── webflow.json
└── .gitignore
```
### Development Workflow
1. **Create component**: Use [component-scaffold](../component-scaffold/SKILL.md) skill
2. **Develop locally**: Run React project to iterate (e.g., `npm run dev`)
3. **Validate**: Use [pre-deploy-check](../pre-deploy-check/SKILL.md) skill
4. **Deploy**: Use [deploy-guide](../deploy-guide/SKILL.md) skill or run `npx webflow library share`
5. **Test in Webflow**: Add component to page in Designer

Codex install prompt
Install the "webflow-code-component:local-dev-setup" agent skill from https://github.com/webflow/webflow-skills/tree/main/plugins/webflow-skills/skills/local-dev-setup. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Initialize a new Webflow Code Components project from scratch. Creates project structure, installs dependencies, configures webflow.json, and sets up development environment. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"webflow-webflow-code-component-local-dev-setup","task":"Install webflow-code-component:local-dev-setup","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: plugins/webflow-skills/skills/local-dev-setup/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 8ab297d424fe0f18cfedac9bfae2d334f3838122. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
