The tailwindcss package is no longer itself a PostCSS plugin. A v3 postcss.config.js that lists tailwindcss in its plugins fails with an error explaining that it must be installed as @tailwindcss/postcss instead.

The command line binary moved too, so npx tailwindcss -i in.css -o out.css becomes npx @tailwindcss/cli. Import handling and vendor prefixing are built in, so postcss-import and autoprefixer should be removed from the pipeline rather than left in place, where they will process the file twice.

For a Vite project prefer the dedicated @tailwindcss/vite plugin over PostCSS entirely; it is significantly faster because it hooks the module graph rather than reprocessing the stylesheet. Remember to delete the now unused postcss.config.js so it does not silently take precedence.
