Shadcn How It Works 5 Block

For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Installs with a ReUI Pro or Ultimate license.

Best for: A side column of 3 step tabs that each open a different console, an order queue, crew coverage or an HR people dashboard

When to use

A landing page section that walks visitors through a product in 3 to 5 numbered steps
A getting started explainer for a developer tool that sends readers on to its docs
A product tour where picking a step swaps in a preview of the app screen it describes

When not to use

A working reporting page whose charts, filters and tables respond to input: use the Analytics blocks
Four steps in a top strip that swap the views of one app console: use the Product Tour Tabs block
A bare grid of numbered steps to place under a heading and copy you already wrote: use the Card blocks
A live overview page of KPI tiles, charts and tables wired to real data: use the Dashboard blocks
The opening section of a landing page, with its main headline and signup action: use the Hero blocks

Agent notes

The 3 steps are STEPS, each mapped to a console by value in the PANELS map; renaming a step means renaming its key
The consoles are mock screens built from KPIS, ORDERS, COVERAGE_ROWS and CAL_DAYS with no handlers; swap them and BACKDROP_SRC
STEP_DWELL_MS sets the 5000 ms auto-advance and 0 stops it; hover or focus on the step column or the console pauses it
The eyebrow Badge, h2 headline and lede are written inline in HowItWorks, not in the data file; rewrite them there
HowItWorks sets its own py-12 padding, max-w-7xl width and bg-background fill; strip them inside a page that already pads its sections
Step layouts reflow on the @container width set inside HowItWorks, not the viewport, so they follow the column the block sits in
