What is the Plaited UI Patterns skill?

It is a specialized set of patterns and best practices that train Claude to generate high-quality code for the Plaited framework, focusing on UI architecture, coordination, and styling.

Does this skill provide reusable component libraries?

No, it provides training data that improves Claude's world model for generating custom, project-specific UI code rather than providing a library of importable packages.

Can I use this for complex application state?

Yes, it includes patterns for cross-island communication using signals (pub/sub) and behavioral programs for managing complex state and logic coordination.

Does it support browser-native form integration?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for form-associated custom elements using the ElementInternals API for seamless integration with native forms.

How does it handle component styling?

It uses a CSS-in-JS approach via createStyles and createTokens, which generates atomic CSS and scoped stylesheets optimized for the Shadow DOM.

Design Tools

Generates high-performance web components and behavioral UI patterns using the Plaited framework's styling and coordination systems.

About

The Plaited UI Patterns skill serves as an advanced training model for creating robust, interactive user interfaces within the Plaited ecosystem. It provides standardized patterns for building stateful behavioral elements (bElements), CSS-in-JS styling with atomic classes, and complex cross-island communication. By leveraging browser-native APIs like Custom Elements and the Shadow DOM, this skill enables the generation of type-safe templates and sophisticated UI logic, including form-associated elements and offloaded computation via web workers, all verified through automated story-based testing.
