About this skill

What it does

Pattern Dev assists AI agents in generating design patterns for applications, promoting consistent UI/UX and streamlining development. It allows you to create simple, medium, or complex patterns based on the problem's scale. The skill leverages a phased approach including planning, implementation, runtime testing, and critique, with options for delegation using subagents.

When to use it

  • When designing new features requiring consistent UI/UX elements.
  • To generate reusable code components and structures.
  • For refactoring existing codebases to adhere to established design patterns.
  • Before deploying changes, especially significant ones, to ensure adherence to standards.

Key capabilities

  • Generates simple (2-3 sentences), medium (short list), or complex (structured plan) design patterns.
  • Supports delegation via subagents for tasks like pattern creation (pattern-maker), usage (pattern-user), and critique (pattern-critic).
  • Offers a phased approach to development: planning, implementation, testing, and critique.
  • Provides access to component catalogs and narrative documentation (see "Tips & Gotchas").

Example prompts

  • "Implement [feature]. Keep it simple, one file." (using the pattern-maker subagent)
  • "Deploy and test [pattern]." (using the pattern-user subagent)
  • "Review [file] for violations." (using the pattern-critic subagent)

Tips & gotchas

  • Read the guide first: The canonical reference is located in docs/common/ai/pattern-development-guide.md.
  • Claude Code users: Use EnterPlanMode before building patterns and scale the plan appropriately for complexity.
  • Component Catalog: For authoritative, type-checked components, refer to packages/patterns/catalog/catalog.tsx and associated story files. Narrative documentation is available in docs/common/components/COMPONENTS.md.
