Features

CSS Variables First

All themeable properties use CSS Variables:

<Button variant="primary">
  {/* Uses --button-primary-background and --button-primary-foreground */}
</Button>

Type-Safe Variants

Powered by class-variance-authority:

<Button variant="secondary" size="lg" loading>
  Click me
</Button>

Accessibility Built-In

• WCAG 2.1 AA compliant - All components pass axe-core validation
• Proper ARIA attributes - Screen reader friendly
• Keyboard navigation - Full keyboard support (Tab, Arrow keys, Enter, Escape)
• Focus management - Visible focus indicators and proper focus trapping

Zero Config Setup

Works out of the box with sensible defaults:

import { Button } from '@tekton/ui';

<Button>Just works</Button>;

Screen Templates (Phase 3)

New in Phase 3: 13 Screen Templates for rapid full-screen composition.

Overview

Screen Templates provide pre-built, theme-aware full-screen layouts that combine multiple components into cohesive user experiences. Each template is registered in a centralized TemplateRegistry for easy discovery and reuse.

Features:

• 13 Pre-built Layouts: Auth (4), Core (3), Feedback (5), Dashboard (1)
• Theme-Aware: Automatically adapts to active theme via CSS Variables
• AI-Friendly: Clear customization boundaries for AI agents
• Type-Safe: Full TypeScript support with ScreenTemplate interface
• Responsive: Desktop, Tablet, Mobile layouts

Quick Start

import { templateRegistry } from '@tekton/ui/templates';

// Get all templates
const allTemplates = templateRegistry.getAll(); // 13 templates

// Get by category
const authTemplates = templateRegistry.getByCategory('auth'); // 4 templates

// Get specific template
const loginTemplate = templateRegistry.get('auth.login');

Available Templates (13)

Auth Templates (4)

import {
  LoginTemplate,
  SignupTemplate,
  ForgotPasswordTemplate,
  VerificationTemplate,
} from '@tekton/ui/templates/auth';

• PreferencesTemplate (settings.preferences) - Sidebar settings layout
• ProfileTemplate (account.profile) - User profile with avatar editing

Feedback Templates (5)

import {
  LoadingTemplate,
  ErrorTemplate,
  EmptyTemplate,
  ConfirmationTemplate,
  SuccessTemplate,
} from '@tekton/ui/templates/feedback';

• LoadingTemplate (feedback.loading) - Loading skeleton state
• ErrorTemplate (feedback.error) - Error state with retry button
• EmptyTemplate (feedback.empty) - Empty state with CTA
• ConfirmationTemplate (feedback.confirmation) - Dialog confirmation
• SuccessTemplate (feedback.success) - Success message with next steps

Dashboard Template (1)

import { DashboardTemplate } from '@tekton/ui/templates/dashboard';

Template Features

• Type-Safe: Full TypeScript support with ScreenTemplate interface
• AI-Friendly: Clear customization boundaries (slots, texts, options)
• Theme-Aware: CSS Variables for automatic theme adaptation
• Responsive: Breakpoint-based layouts (Desktop 1024px+, Tablet 768-1024px, Mobile <768px)
• Accessible: WCAG 2.1 AA compliance (validation in progress)

TemplateRegistry API

The TemplateRegistry provides centralized template management:

import { templateRegistry } from '@tekton/ui/templates/registry';

// Get all templates
const allTemplates = templateRegistry.getAll(); // 13 templates

// Get templates by category
const authTemplates = templateRegistry.getByCategory('auth'); // 4 templates

// Get specific template
const loginTemplate = templateRegistry.get('auth.login');

// Find by required components
const formsTemplates = templateRegistry.findByRequiredComponents(['Button', 'Input', 'Form']);

Design Reference: All templates follow Claude.ai Design Philosophy - clarity, accessibility, universality.
