BoardUI

Reach for this when the brief is an analytics dashboard or an agent console in React 19 and Tailwind v4, and the usual registries stop at form controls — the 17 chart cards and the agent blocks (thinking, composer, limits, progress) are the reason to pick it over stock shadcn/ui. Two hard constraints before you install. First, the free/Pro split: only the 47 items listed in https://www.boardui.com/r/registry.json install without a licence key, and every chart card, every template and four of the blocks are Pro, so read that file first rather than the components gallery, which shows Pro items you cannot fetch. Second, the licence is source-available, not open source: the docs introduction calls the free tier open-source, but https://www.boardui.com/license forbids republishing the source in any public repository, gist, template or starter kit. Never install BoardUI source into a repo you intend to make public. The documented install path is the boardui CLI (`init` then `add`), which needs Tailwind v4 — a v3 project will not work. Registry items follow the shadcn registry-item schema, so `shadcn add <url>` against a /r/<name>.json is plausible but is not a documented path and was not tested here. There is no llms.txt and no public source repository, so the registry JSON is the machine-readable surface you have.

Why it is here. Chart cards and agent-state blocks in one Tailwind v4 token system is a real gap in the shadcn ecosystem — most registries cover form controls and stop, and the few with charts do not cover agent surfaces. It is also a clean worked example of the Figma-MCP-to-code pipeline the rest of this index keeps arguing for.
