UI Pattern Generator

When to Use

Use this skill when you need generate a composed UI pattern (card layout, list, form section, grid, etc.) using design system primitives.

When NOT to use

• For a single primitive component → use /ss-component
• For a full mobile screen → use /ss-page
• For an entire multi-page user flow → use /ss-flow
• For design tokens and color/spacing decisions → use /ss-tokens

Pattern type: $0 Description: $ARGUMENTS

Available Pattern Types

Layout Patterns

• card-section: Card with title + content inside page section (mx-6)
• grid-2col: 2-column grid of cards (grid grid-cols-2 gap-4 px-6)
• scroll-horizontal: Horizontal scrolling card list (flex gap-3 overflow-x-auto scrollbar-hide)
• list-section: Vertical list of items inside a card
• form-section: Form with labeled inputs in a card
• stat-grid: Grid of StatCard components

Data Display Patterns

• data-table: Table with header and rows
• detail-card: Key-value pair display
• chart-card: Card wrapper for a Recharts chart
• ranking-list: Numbered ranking with highlight

Interactive Patterns

• action-sheet: Bottom sheet with action buttons
• filter-bar: Horizontal filter/tab bar
• search-header: Search input in header area

Instructions

1. Read the design system reference:

   • CLAUDE.md for conventions
   • components/ui/ for available primitives
   • components/patterns/ for existing patterns

2. Compose the pattern from existing components — DO NOT recreate primitives.

3. Follow the design system layout rules:

   • Cards: bg-card rounded-2xl p-6 shadow-[var(--shadow-card)]
   • Section wrapper: mx-6 for horizontal margin
   • Section title: text-foreground font-bold text-[18px] mb-4
   • List gap: space-y-3
   • Grid gap: gap-4

4. Use semantic tokens for all visual properties.

5. Make the pattern a reusable component with props for dynamic content.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
• Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
• Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.

Execution boundaries

This guide targets an existing StyleSeed project. The listed project paths, components, tokens and /ss-* commands are not bundled in this single-file entrypoint. Discover the actual project root and verify those prerequisites before edits; report absent resources instead of inventing them. Use host-supported invocation and existing project conventions. Layout numbers are design-system choices, not universal usability guarantees. Test keyboard access, responsive overflow and reduced motion on the actual interface.
