## Composition model {#composition-model}

The components follow shadcn/ui's model of composing primitives from editable source, with the Base UI implementation selected in this workspace. A component is usually split into Root, Trigger, Content, Item, and related parts. The underlying primitive owns state and accessibility, while Tailwind classes and `data-slot` expose presentation.

Base UI uses `render` to compose a custom element, rather than the `asChild` prop commonly seen in Radix examples:

```tsx
import { Button } from "@workspace/ui/components/button"
import { Dialog, DialogTrigger } from "@workspace/ui/components/dialog"

;<Dialog>
  <DialogTrigger render={<Button variant="outline" />}>
    Edit profile
  </DialogTrigger>
</Dialog>
```

Use `render` only when replacing the underlying element. Pass ordinary content as children.

## Actions and forms {#actions-and-forms}

| Goal                        | Component entry points                             |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Buttons and grouped actions | `button`, `button-group`, `toggle`, `toggle-group` |
| Text input                  | `input`, `textarea`, `input-group`, `input-otp`    |
| Field structure             | `field`, `label`                                   |
| Boolean and single choice   | `checkbox`, `switch`, `radio-group`                |
| Range and progress          | `slider`, `progress`                               |
| Options and commands        | `native-select`, `select`, `combobox`, `command`   |
| Dates                       | `calendar`                                         |

Prefer `NativeSelect` for simple, mobile-friendly choices that do not need a custom popup. Choose `Combobox`, `Select`, or `Command` when the interaction needs search, custom items, or command behavior.

## Overlays and navigation {#overlays-and-navigation}

| Goal                           | Component entry points                                   |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Modal confirmation and editing | `alert-dialog`, `dialog`, `sheet`, `drawer`              |
| Anchored content               | `popover`, `hover-card`, `tooltip`, `anchored-surface`   |
| Menus                          | `dropdown-menu`, `context-menu`, `menubar`               |
| Page navigation                | `breadcrumb`, `navigation-menu`, `pagination`, `sidebar` |

Dialog, Sheet, and Drawer expose controlled state and composable parts. Use `AlertDialog` for consequential destructive actions, `Tooltip` for brief descriptions, and `Popover` for an anchored panel containing interactive controls.

## Content and feedback {#content-and-feedback}

| Goal                      | Component entry points                                |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Containers and states     | `card`, `item`, `empty`, `alert`, `badge`, `marker`   |
| Loading and notifications | `skeleton`, `spinner`, `toast`                        |
| Messaging UI              | `message`, `bubble`, `attachment`, `message-scroller` |
| Sectioned content         | `accordion`, `collapsible`, `tabs`, `carousel`        |

`Message` owns participant layout, alignment, and metadata; `Bubble` owns the message surface; `Attachment` expresses an upload lifecycle; and `MessageScroller` handles follow mode and jump controls. They are presentation primitives and do not own conversation data.

## Layout and data {#layout-and-data}

| Goal           | Component entry points                                  |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| Data display   | `table`, `chart`                                        |
| Layout         | `separator`, `aspect-ratio`, `resizable`, `scroll-area` |
| Direction      | `direction`                                             |
| Keyboard hints | `kbd`                                                   |
| Avatars        | `avatar`                                                |

The chart module wraps Recharts containers, tooltips, legends, and style mappings without choosing an application data model. `DirectionProvider` re-exports Base UI's direction context; the page should still synchronize the HTML `dir` attribute.

## Icons {#icons}

Import named icons from the local Icones adapter:

```tsx
import { SearchIcon, SettingsIcon } from "@workspace/ui/components/icon"
```

Components provide a default size to SVGs that do not have an explicit size class. Icon buttons still require an accessible name:

```tsx
<Button size="icon" aria-label="Search">
  <SearchIcon aria-hidden="true" />
</Button>
```

Do not reintroduce `lucide-react` in new components. Register additional icons through `createIcon` in `components/icon.tsx` so the workspace keeps one icon path.
