Tailwind CSS IntelliSense
Get intelligent Tailwind class suggestions, autocompletions, and linting as you style components in your editor.
Copilot Cursor Windsurf
Overview
Tailwind CSS IntelliSense provides intelligent autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and linting for Tailwind utility classes directly in your editor. It understands your tailwind.config file and suggests only the classes available in your project, including custom utilities, plugins, and design tokens.
When combined with AI coding agents in editors like Cursor or Windsurf, Tailwind IntelliSense enhances the agent's ability to write correct utility classes. The agent benefits from the same class validation and autocomplete data, ensuring that generated Tailwind code is valid and follows your project's configuration.
The extension also provides hover previews showing the actual CSS generated by each utility class, class sorting, and warnings for conflicting utilities. This gives both you and your AI agent the context needed to write clean, maintainable Tailwind code.
