- Search across multiple registries and make the registry argument optional: omit it to search every registry configured in components.json (builtins like @shadcn excluded). Without a components.json or configured registries, a clear usage error is printed. - Add a --type filter (accepts "ui" or "registry:ui", comma-separated) with validation against the known item types. - Fetch registries concurrently with a capped worker pool, preserving result order. - Tolerate per-registry failures when searching all configured registries (reported in a structured `errors` field); exit non-zero when every registry fails. Usage errors print directly instead of routing through handleError. - MCP parity: optional registries (search-all), a `types` filter, and type validation across the search/list/examples tools. - Keep the public registry surface to `searchRegistries` and make it self-contained (clears its own context, useCache defaults to false). - Consolidate search formatting into registry/search, add the `errors` field to searchResultsSchema, and update the skill docs.

A CLI for adding components to your project.
create
Use the create command to create a new project. You will be taken to a website to build your custom design system and choose your framework.
