The used tailwind cli comes with all official plugins, which you can just add to the config. For third party plugins you‘d need to figure out how to install the plugin as well as tailwind itself, because the cli afaik cannot integrate with those third party plugins for being a precompiled binary.

For me the proposed syntax did not quite work, but required double quotes: @plugin "@tailwindcss/typography"; After that everything was golden with the 1.8.0 Phoenix RC, Tailwind 4 and Daisy UI.

@MatijaL this is still true

See tailwindcss/packages/@tailwindcss-standalone/package.json at 3e53e2566990607c928c2306447e6bf5e199e78e · tailwindlabs/tailwindcss · GitHub

That means, that if you’re using the standalone CLI you can just @plugin @tailwindcss/typography; in your CSS file where you do your @import 'tailwindcss';. If you’re using the NPM installed version you have to add it as a package dependecy and then import it in the same way
