July 2025 - Local File Support

Initialize projects and add components from local JSON files.

The sd-ui CLI now supports local files. Initialize projects and add components, themes, hooks, utils and more from local JSON files.

# Initialize a project from a local file
npx sd-ui init ./template.json
 
# Add a component from a local file
npx sd-ui add ./block.json

This feature enables powerful new workflows:

  • Zero setup - No remote registries required
  • Faster development - Test registry items locally before publishing
  • Enhanced workflow for agents and MCP - Generate and run registry items locally
  • Private components - Keep proprietary components local and private.
