Patterns

Common tasks

Copy these verbatim. They are the canonical solutions to recurring jobs in the system.

Status alerts

The solid pattern: bg + foreground + border. Never bg-{status}/10.

<Alert variant="destructive">
  <XCircleIcon weight="fill" />
  <AlertTitle>Couldn't save changes</AlertTitle>
  <AlertDescription>Check your network connection.</AlertDescription>
</Alert>
Chart colors

Use --color-chart-* in series order. Series 1 anchors to brand lavender.

const palette = Array.from({ length: 12 }, (_, i) => `var(--color-chart-${i + 1})`);

<Bar dataKey="revenue" fill={palette[0]} />
<Bar dataKey="cost" fill={palette[1]} />
Brand override (≤10 lines)

A consumer project reskin. Drop into the project's globals.css :root.

:root {
  --primary: oklch(0.205 0.04 290);
  --secondary: oklch(0.86 0.07 50);
  --background: oklch(0.99 0.005 80);
  --foreground: oklch(0.18 0 0);
  --border: oklch(0.92 0.01 80);
  --radius-card: 1.25rem;
  --radius-button: 0.75rem;
  --font-heading: var(--font-inter);
  --chart-1: oklch(0.65 0.13 50);
}
Compact density

Toggle [data-density='compact'] on the html element to tighten controls.

<html data-density="compact">…</html>
Focus state

Use --shadow-focus or the canonical --ring-width composition.

className="focus-visible:ring-(length:--ring-width) focus-visible:ring-ring/40 focus-visible:border-ring"
Form field

text-base on mobile (iOS focus-zoom), helper text, density-aware height.

We'll only use this for login and security alerts.

<div className="flex flex-col gap-(--density-field-gap)">
  <Label htmlFor="email">Work email</Label>
  <Input id="email" type="email" placeholder="you@company.com" />
  <p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground">
    We'll only use this for login and security alerts.
  </p>
</div>
Field with error state

Solid status pattern: bg-destructive/30 helper + border-destructive + aria-invalid.

Enter a valid email address.

<div className="flex flex-col gap-(--density-field-gap)">
  <Label htmlFor="email" className="text-destructive">Work email</Label>
  <Input
    id="email"
    type="email"
    aria-invalid={true}
    aria-describedby="email-error"
    className="border-destructive focus-visible:border-destructive focus-visible:ring-destructive/40"
  />
  <p id="email-error" className="text-xs text-destructive">
    Enter a valid email address.
  </p>
</div>

Always pair the visible error with aria-invalid + aria-describedby. Color alone is not sufficient for the error to read as an error to assistive tech.

Multi-field layout

Stack with --density-field-gap. Two-column grids only when fields are short (state, zip).

<form className="flex flex-col gap-(--density-field-gap) max-w-md">
  <div className="grid grid-cols-2 gap-3">
    <div className="flex flex-col gap-1.5">
      <Label htmlFor="first">First name</Label>
      <Input id="first" />
    </div>
    <div className="flex flex-col gap-1.5">
      <Label htmlFor="last">Last name</Label>
      <Input id="last" />
    </div>
  </div>
  <div className="flex flex-col gap-1.5">
    <Label htmlFor="org">Organization</Label>
    <Input id="org" />
  </div>
  <div className="flex justify-end gap-2 pt-2">
    <Button variant="ghost" size="sm">Cancel</Button>
    <Button size="sm">Save changes</Button>
  </div>
</form>
Submission states

Loading state on the submit button only. Don't disable the whole form unless it's destructive.

const [pending, setPending] = useTransition();

<Button type="submit" disabled={pending}>
  {pending ? (
    <>
      <SpinnerIcon className="size-(--size-icon-sm) animate-spin" />
      Saving…
    </>
  ) : (
    "Save changes"
  )}
</Button>

Disabled button uses --opacity-disabled automatically via aria-disabled. Don't gray out other fields — the user may still want to edit while the request is in flight.
