PATTERN LIBRARY · ITEM DEX
UI Patterns
A UI pattern library built for coding agents. 40 patterns, each shipping a copy-paste prompt that rebuilds it inside your own codebase — plus a live preview and the source behind it.
Preview
The pattern running live in an isolated frame, in whichever theme you are reading in.
Source
Its markup, styles and behaviour, plus a single runnable file carrying its own palette.
Prompt
A written spec that rebuilds the pattern from scratch — including why each decision is the way it is. Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any coding agent.
The prompts are the point. Each one is written to survive being handed to an agent with no other context: it names the surfaces the pattern belongs on, spells out the constraint that makes it work, and calls out the failure it exists to prevent. Nothing here is a dependency you install.
40 patterns
#002
Benchmark progress bar
Places a raw figure on a scale of external benchmarks instead of printing it plain.

A two-axis lookup table with both headers sticky, hover lighting the full row and column at once, and a durable click-to-pin selection for touch.

#008
Partitioned stage bar
Progress for work with several possible endings, drawn as a census rather than a fraction.

A container with no artwork draws one from up to four member tiles, grid tracks following tile count.
#014UPDATED
