shadscan is an open-source CLI tool and static analyser for React applications using shadcn/ui. It scores UI fundamentals against 62 rules across terminals, CI pipelines, and AI agent environments.

Key points

  1. Performs deterministic static UI audits specifically tailored to shadcn/ui React applications.
  2. Audits projects against 62 built-in rules, including accessibility criteria.
  3. Designed for terminal use, CI pipelines, and automated AI agent workflows.
  4. Distributed via npm as @shadscan/cli and available through an online scanner at shadscan.com.
  5. Written in TypeScript and released under the MIT licence.

Why it matters

Rapid prototyping and assembly with shadcn/ui can easily result in overlooked accessibility and design fundamentals. Standardising audits into a deterministic check helps teams and AI agents catch defects before shipping.

Analysis

With 538 GitHub stars and 62 rules implemented, the project displays a solid foundation and early-to-mid maturity aimed at React developers and automated review setups.
