SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the common issue of incomplete UI development where interactive elements lack necessary states, leading to broken user experiences, accessibility failures, and inconsistent feedback.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • State Matrix Generation: Maps every interactive element to its required lifecycle states including hover, focus, active, disabled, loading, and error.
  • Accessibility Compliance: Ensures all visual states are paired with correct ARIA attributes and meet contrast requirements for WCAG compliance.
  • Use Case: When building a new design system component like a custom toggle or async button, use this Skill to define the exact interaction contract, preventing duplicate submissions and ensuring keyboard users are never lost.

Quick Start

Use the component-states skill to generate a full interaction matrix and accessibility contract for the primary submit button component.

Frequently Asked Questions about component-states

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define a complete UI interaction state matrix for design system components?▼

A UI interaction state matrix maps interactive elements to required lifecycle states like hover, focus, active, disabled, loading, and error. This ensures consistent visual feedback and pairs treatments with correct ARIA semantics for accessibility compliance.

What is the best way to map ARIA attributes to visual states for accessible frontend controls?▼

Mapping ARIA attributes to visual states requires pairing each interaction state with correct semantic roles and properties. This ensures accessible frontend controls meet WCAG contrast requirements and provide reliable screen reader feedback during user interaction.

Why does my custom toggle component fail WCAG compliance during keyboard navigation?▼

Custom toggle components fail WCAG compliance when visual states lack paired ARIA attributes and focus management. Defining a complete interaction contract ensures keyboard users receive proper state feedback and are never lost during navigation recovery logic.

Do I need to specify error and loading states when building an async button component?▼

Specifying error and loading states for async button components is required to prevent duplicate submissions. Mapping these lifecycle states ensures interaction guards function correctly and provides users with consistent feedback during asynchronous operations.

Can I use this approach to audit existing navigation menus for missing interactive states?▼

Yes, you can audit existing navigation menus by mapping their current controls against a comprehensive interaction state matrix. This reveals missing visual treatments, incorrect ARIA semantics, and inadequate recovery logic that violate usability standards.

When should I not use a full state matrix for frontend UI components?▼

A full state matrix may be unnecessary for static frontend UI components lacking interactive behavior. If an element has no hover, focus, active, disabled, loading, or error lifecycle, mapping interaction guards and ARIA semantics yields no accessibility benefit.
