ss-component

The ss-component skill generates new UI components following StyleSeed design conventions, including proper TypeScript typing, Tailwind styling with semantic tokens, accessibility standards, and CVA variant support. Use this when building individual reusable components for a StyleSeed project that has a `components/ui/` directory and Tailwind v4, rather than for full pages or multi-component patterns.

# UI Component Generator

## When NOT to use

- For full-page scaffolding → use `/ss-page`
- For composed multi-component patterns → use `/ss-pattern`
- For tweaking an existing component — just edit the file directly
- For non-StyleSeed projects (no `components/ui/` directory or no Tailwind v4)

Generate a new component: **$0**
Description: $ARGUMENTS

## Instructions

1. First, read the design system seed for context:
   - Read `CLAUDE.md` for component conventions
   - Read `css/theme.css` for available design tokens
   - Read `components/ui/button.tsx` as a reference pattern

2. Follow these conventions strictly:
   - Use `function` declaration (not `const`)
   - Add `data-slot="component-name"` attribute
   - Use `cn()` from `@/components/ui/utils` for all className merging
   - Use `React.ComponentProps<>` for prop typing
   - Always support `className` prop for overrides
   - Use CVA (`class-variance-authority`) if the component has variants
   - Use semantic color tokens (`bg-card`, `text-foreground`) — never inline hex

3. Design token usage:
   - Colors: `text-foreground`, `bg-card`, `text-brand`, `text-muted-foreground`, `border-border`
   - Shadows: `shadow-[var(--shadow-card)]`, `shadow-[var(--shadow-elevated)]`
   - Radius: `rounded-md`, `rounded-lg`, `rounded-2xl`
   - Spacing: multiples of 6px (`p-1.5`, `p-3`, `p-6`)
   - Motion: `duration-[var(--duration-fast)]`, `ease-[var(--ease-default)]`

4. Typography rules:
   - Display (36-48px): `leading-none tracking-[-0.02em]`
   - Heading (18-24px): `leading-snug tracking-[-0.01em]`
   - Body (14-17px): `leading-normal` (default tracking)
   - Caption uppercase (10-13px): `tracking-[0.05em]`
   - Use `size-*` shorthand instead of `w-* h-*`
   - Use `ms-*/me-*` instead of `ml-*/mr-*` (logical properties)

5. Accessibility requirements:
   - Minimum touch target: 44x44px (`min-h-11 min-w-11`)
   - Support `aria-*` attributes passthrough
   - Use `focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-ring` for keyboard focus
   - Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` for animations

6. Export the component as a named export (not default)

7. Place the file in the appropriate directory:
   - Primitive/reusable → `src/components/ui/`
   - Composed pattern → `src/components/patterns/`
