What problem does it solve?
It solves inconsistent UI styling and component fragmentation by providing a single source of truth for Paperclip’s design system, component hierarchy, and interaction patterns.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Design system alignment: Use semantic tokens, typography scale, spacing, radius, and shadows so new UI matches Paperclip’s look and behavior.
- Reusable component guidance: Follow rules for when to create composites vs. when to compose existing primitives (and keep shadcn/ui untouched).
- Consistent interaction and layout patterns: Apply established status/priority systems, entity-row composition, and the app’s three-zone layout so features feel native.
- Use Case: When adding a new page or feature in the control plane (e.g., agent/issue details or a list view), use this guide to implement it with correct tokens, components, and conventions rather than inventing one-off styles.
Quick Start
Ask your AI to apply the Paperclip UI design guide when implementing a new frontend UI component for the control plane, and ensure it follows the established tokens, typography patterns, component tiers, and status/priority composition rules.
