What is the AtroUI shadcn registry?
AtroUI publishes a shadcn-compatible registry at atroui.com/r. npx shadcn add @atroui/home-hero copies source into your repo. Listed in the official shadcn directory.
Definition
A registry item is JSON describing files, npm dependencies, and other @atroui/* items. The CLI fetches https://www.atroui.com/r/{name}.json and writes files to the consumer project.
Why it matters
npm design systems update in node_modules. Registry items are source you can edit. The atroui package exists only for Host API handlers that should upgrade together.
