UI Component Creation Skill

shadcn/ui + Design System Patterns

When to Use: Creating new UI components

---

CRITICAL: Read Design System First

BEFORE generating any UI: Read /DESIGN-SYSTEM.md

Quality Gate: 9/10 minimum on:

• Visual distinctiveness
• Brand alignment
• Accessibility

Pattern: shadcn/ui Component

'use client';

import { Card } from '@/components/ui/card';
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';

export function MyComponent({ data }: { data: any }) {
  return (
    <Card className="p-6 border-border-subtle bg-bg-card">
      <h2 className="text-xl font-semibold text-text-primary mb-4">
        {data.title}
      </h2>
      <p className="text-text-secondary mb-4">
        {data.description}
      </p>
      <Button variant="default" className="bg-accent-500 hover:bg-accent-600">
        Action
      </Button>
    </Card>
  );
}

---

Design Tokens (Required)

Use these, not raw values:

Colors:

• bg-bg-card (not bg-white)
• text-text-primary (not text-gray-900)
• accent-500 (#ff6b35 orange)
• border-border-subtle

Spacing:

• Tailwind classes (p-4, mb-6, etc.)

---

Forbidden Patterns

❌ bg-white (use bg-bg-card) ❌ text-gray-600 (use text-text-secondary) ❌ grid grid-cols-3 gap-4 without responsive (add md:, lg:)

---

Required Patterns

✅ Design tokens from system ✅ All states (hover, focus, disabled) ✅ Responsive breakpoints ✅ Accessibility (aria-labels)

---

Standard: Use design tokens, implement all states, ensure accessibility
