Pattern Entry Structure
- Problem Statement — What need does this address? What contexts?
- Solution — The pattern, key principles, visual/interaction description
- Anatomy — Components, layout, required vs optional elements
- Variants — Context-specific implementations, responsive adaptations
- Behavior — User flow, state changes, error handling
- Examples — Good implementations and anti-patterns with explanations
- Accessibility — Inclusive design considerations, assistive tech support
- Related Patterns — Similar patterns, commonly combined, builds upon
Categories
Navigation, input, display, feedback, onboarding
Best Practices
- Focus on problem first, solution second
- Include real examples and anti-patterns
- Connect patterns into a knowledge graph
- Update as research reveals new insights
