Filament v5 styles not loading when used as UI-only with Laravel Starter Kit + Livewire v4
5️⃣v5
Hi community 
I’m trying to set up a project using Laravel Starter Kit (Blade + Livewire) and integrate Filament only as a UI framework (Forms, Tables, Notifications, Actions, general layout components), without using the full Filament Admin Panel.
Stack / Versions
Laravel: latest (Laravel 12)
Livewire: v4
Filament: v5
Vite + Tailwind CSS
The issue
Filament components do work (Forms, Tables, Notifications, Actions).
Filament styles are not loading correctly.
Components render, but they look like unstyled/plain HTML.
Vite, Tailwind, Livewire, and the Starter Kit work fine on their own.
Goal
Use Filament only as a UI component library inside a Livewire Starter Kit application, not as a separate admin panel.
Questions
Which base files are mandatory for Filament styles to load correctly in this setup?
(layout, head partial, app.css, etc.)
Is it required to include @filamentStyles and @filamentScripts even when not using a Filament Panel?
Are there any known conflicts between Laravel Starter Kit + Livewire v4 and Filament v5 when used this way?
Is there an official or recommended approach to use Filament purely as a UI layer within Livewire (outside the panel context)?
If anyone has already done this or has a minimal working example, I’d really appreciate the help
Thanks in advance!
