Activation Conditions

Building/creating UI components or pages
Keywords: "design system", "ui", "frontend", "registry", "component"
Modifying existing registry components

Quick Reference

Action	Rule
Use components	`use-ui-registry.md`
Add spacing	`style-no-margin-on-registry.md`
Customize look	`style-use-variants.md`
Use icons	`icon-system.md`

Workflow

1. Fetch Documentation

FIRST: Use MCP tool mcp__redpanda-ui__search-docs or mcp__redpanda-ui__get_component

2. Check Existing Components

ls src/components/redpanda-ui/

Critical Rules

ALWAYS

Use Registry components from src/components/redpanda-ui/
Call mcp__redpanda-ui__get_component as first action before writing UI code
Install components via CLI

NEVER

Use @redpanda-data/ui (deprecated) - see no-legacy
Copy/paste registry source (install via CLI)
Install external UI libraries without user request
Use inline style prop on registry components
Add margin className directly to registry components

WHEN MODIFYING REGISTRY COMPONENTS

If editing files in src/components/redpanda-ui/:

Document the change in a comment with // UPSTREAM: <reason>
Keep changes minimal and backwards-compatible
Track for eventual contribution to upstream registry

Rules

See rules/ directory for detailed guidance.
