ui-components

A set of rules for building user-interface components and layouts with Tailwind CSS, a utility-based styling system. It covers component organization, loading and error states, accessible HTML, styling conventions, and available UI building blocks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or reviewing React interface components, page layouts, reusable controls, data-driven screens, and Tailwind styles.
Why use it?
It keeps visual components, data handling, and feature logic from becoming tangled. It also gives consistent requirements for empty, loading, error, and accessibility states.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ui-components scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

UI Components

Constraints

  • Hierarchy: Organize by ui (stateless), shared (common), and feature (domain logic).
  • Atomic: Keep src/components/ui pure; forbid API/Store dependencies.
  • Separation: Separate data (container) from UI (presentation).
  • Composition: Prefer children-based composition over large prop objects.
  • States: Implement Skeleton (matching dimensions), EmptyState, and ErrorState for data-driven parts.
  • UX: Avoid empty screens; always provide meaningful states.
  • Styling: Use Tailwind CSS, cn(), and Design Tokens. No Hex/RGB or arbitrary values (use Tailwind scale strictly). When writing Tailwind CSS, always use v4 syntax and canonical classes (e.g., use bg-linear-to-* instead of bg-gradient-to-*, size-* instead of w-* h-*).
  • Primitive Components: Build primitive UI components (Button, Dialog, etc.) in src/components/ui.
    • CRITICAL CHECK: Check package.json for UI primitives.
    • If @radix-ui/* is installed, use Radix UI primitives.
    • If @base-ui/react is installed, use Base UI primitives.
    • If neither is installed, build accessible native HTML elements.
  • A11y: Enforce semantic HTML, aria attributes, and keyboard accessibility.
  • Typography: One h1 per page. Do not skip heading levels. Do not use heading styles for non-heading content.
  • Responsive: Mobile-first from 320px. Use and verify at Tailwind defaults: sm 640, md 768, lg 1024, xl 1280.
  • Focus: Overlays/dialogs must move focus inside on open and restore it on close. Prefer Radix/Base UI primitives for focus trap; never invent a custom trap when a primitive is available.
  • Exports: Use Named exports only.

Bans

  • AI Aesthetic: Default purple/indigo palettes, excessive gradients, overuse of rounded-2xl, generic card/grid layouts.
  • Magic Numbers: Arbitrary values (e.g., p-[13px]); use Tailwind’s spacing scale strictly.
  • UX/A11y: div soup, "Lorem Ipsum", or onClick on non-interactive elements without keyboard support.
  • Logic: Default exports or data fetching inside atomic components.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
