# Volt UI — AI Prompt Reference

Use this prompt when you want an AI assistant to write, review, or refactor Angular code that uses **Volt UI**, an Angular component library inspired by shadcn/ui and built on top of [ng-primitives](https://ng-primitives.dev).

---

## Context

You are working in an Angular 21 application that consumes **Volt UI** components.

- Components are **standalone**, use **OnPush**, and rely on **signals** (`input()`, `output()`, `model()`, `computed()`).
- Styling is **Tailwind CSS v4** with semantic tokens such as `bg-primary`, `text-foreground`, `rounded-md`, `shadow-sm`.
- Variant logic uses **class-variance-authority (CVA)**.
- Accessibility and interaction behavior come from **ng-primitives**.
- Components are typically copied into the project via the CLI (`npx @voltui/cli`) and become editable local code.

---

## How to add Volt UI to a project

### 1. CLI / source-ownership workflow (recommended)

```bash
npx @voltui/cli init                    # creates src/app/ui
npx @voltui/cli add button card input
npx @voltui/cli add dialog ./src/app/shared/ui --dry-run
```

After copying, import from the local UI folder:

```ts
import { UiButton } from './ui/button';
import { UiCard, UiCardContent, UiCardHeader } from './ui/card';
```

### 2. NPM package workflow

```bash
npm install @voltui/components
```

```css
@import 'tailwindcss';
@import '@voltui/components/themes.css';
```

```ts
import { provideVoltTheme } from '@voltui/components';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [provideVoltTheme({ color: 'volt', style: 'sharp', dark: false })],
});
```

Runtime dependencies required by copied components:

```bash
npm install ng-primitives class-variance-authority clsx tailwind-merge
```

## Naming conventions

| Context        | Selector               | Class name | Import path                       |
| -------------- | ---------------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------- |
| Library source | `volt-*` / `[voltXxx]` | `VoltXxx`  | `'volt'` / `'@voltui/components'` |
| After CLI copy | `ui-*` / `[uiXxx]`     | `UiXxx`    | `'./ui/<component>'`              |

When generating code for a consumer project, always use the **CLI prefix** (`ui-*` / `UiXxx`).

---

## Theme system

Color presets: `volt`, `ember`, `sage`, `dusk`, `glacier`.
Style presets: `sharp`, `soft`, `brutal`, `ghost`, `retro`.

```ts
provideVoltTheme({ color: 'ember', style: 'soft', dark: false });
applyVoltTheme({ color: 'dusk', style: 'brutal', dark: true });
```

Components use semantic Tailwind utilities; do not write `bg-[var(--primary)]`.

Known upstream caveats in `ng-primitives`: meter currently exposes `aria-valuenow` as a percentage for non-0..100 ranges, and progress currently reports `aria-valuemin="0"` even when `min` is customized.

## Critical rules for overlay components

Overlays (dialog, drawer, popover, tooltip, dropdown-menu) are **template-based**. The trigger is an attribute directive that points to an `<ng-template>` containing the overlay content.

### Dialog

```html
<button [uiDialog]="dialogTpl">Open Dialog</button>

<ng-template #dialogTpl let-close="close">
  <div uiDialogOverlay></div>
  <div uiDialogContent>
    <h2 uiDialogTitle>Confirm</h2>
    <p uiDialogDescription>Are you sure?</p>
    <ui-button (click)="close()">Confirm</ui-button>
  </div>
</ng-template>
```

### Drawer

```html
<button [uiDrawer]="drawerTpl">Open Drawer</button>

<ng-template #drawerTpl let-close="close">
  <div uiDrawerOverlay></div>
  <div uiDrawerContent side="right">
    <h2 uiDrawerTitle>Menu</h2>
    <nav uiDrawerDescription>...</nav>
    <ui-drawer-close (click)="close()"><lmn-x [size]="16" /></ui-drawer-close>
  </div>
</ng-template>
```

### Popover

```html
<button uiPopover [uiPopover]="popoverTpl">Open</button>

<ng-template #popoverTpl>
  <ui-popover-content>
    <p>Popover content</p>
  </ui-popover-content>
</ng-template>
```

### Tooltip

```html
<button uiTooltip [uiTooltip]="tooltipTpl">Hover me</button>

<ng-template #tooltipTpl>
  <ui-tooltip-content>
    <p>Tooltip text</p>
  </ui-tooltip-content>
</ng-template>
```

### Dropdown Menu

```html
<button [uiDropdownMenu]="menuTpl">Menu</button>

<ng-template #menuTpl>
  <ui-dropdown-menu>
    <ui-dropdown-menu-label>Account</ui-dropdown-menu-label>
    <ui-dropdown-menu-separator />
    <ui-dropdown-menu-item>Profile</ui-dropdown-menu-item>
    <ui-dropdown-menu-item>Logout</ui-dropdown-menu-item>
  </ui-dropdown-menu>
</ng-template>
```

## Reactive Forms examples

```ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { UiInput, UiCheckbox, UiSwitch, UiRadioGroup, UiRadioItem } from './ui';

@Component({
  imports: [ReactiveFormsModule, UiInput, UiCheckbox, UiSwitch, UiRadioGroup, UiRadioItem],
  template: `
    <ui-input [formControl]="email" type="email" placeholder="you@example.com" />
    <ui-checkbox [formControl]="accepted">Accept terms</ui-checkbox>
    <ui-switch [formControl]="enabled">Airplane mode</ui-switch>
    <ui-radio-group [formControl]="plan">
      <ui-radio-item value="basic">Basic</ui-radio-item>
      <ui-radio-item value="pro">Pro</ui-radio-item>
    </ui-radio-group>
  `,
})
export class ExampleComponent {
  email = new FormControl('', { nonNullable: true });
  accepted = new FormControl(false, { nonNullable: true });
  enabled = new FormControl(false, { nonNullable: true });
  plan = new FormControl('basic', { nonNullable: true });
}
```

## AI assistant rules

1. **Use the CLI naming convention** (`ui-*` / `UiXxx`) in consumer projects unless the user explicitly imports from `@voltui/components`.
2. **Do not invent inputs or outputs.** If unsure, check the source files or call the Volt UI MCP `get_component` tool.
3. **Overlays are template-based.** Never write `<ui-dialog>`, `<ui-tooltip>`, `<ui-popover-trigger>`, or `<ui-dropdown-menu-trigger>` as element selectors.
4. **Prefer signals** for component state and `model()` for two-way inputs.
5. **Use semantic Tailwind tokens**; avoid `bg-[var(--foo)]`.
6. **Boolean inputs** must use `booleanAttribute`; **number inputs** should use `numberAttribute` when appropriate.
7. **Add `ReactiveFormsModule`** when wiring CVA components to `FormControl`.
8. **Run checks** after changes: `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm lint`, `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build:lib`.

## MCP / AI tools

Volt UI exposes a **spec-compliant MCP server** over Streamable HTTP at `https://volt-ui.pages.dev/api/mcp`.

- **Setup helper**: `npx volt-ui-mcp` (installs config for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, VS Code)
- **CLI**: `npx @voltui/cli`
- **Local skill**: `.agents/skills/volt-ui/SKILL.md` (auto-discovered by OpenCode / Claude Code)
- **Prompt reference**: `VOLT_UI_PROMPT.md` (this file)

Available MCP tools:

- `list_components` — list all components
- `get_component` — inputs, outputs, sub-components, examples
- `get_usage_example` — import paths and snippets
- `get_theme_info` — colors, styles, provider API
- `get_project_info` — architecture and naming conventions
- `generate_cli_command` — produce `npx @voltui/cli ...` commands

Available MCP resources:

- `component://<name>` — full metadata for a single component
- `theme://info` — theme colors, styles, and helpers
- `project://info` — project overview and naming conventions

Available MCP prompts:

- `generate-volt-ui-component` — pre-filled prompt for generating a component usage example
- `volt-ui-troubleshooting` — pre-filled prompt for diagnosing common mistakes

When unsure, call the MCP `get_component` tool or read the `component://<name>` resource before inventing APIs.

## Troubleshooting

- **Class not found**: the component was not copied. Run `npx @voltui/cli add <name>`.
- **Overlay does not open**: verify the trigger uses the attribute selector and references an `<ng-template>`.
- **Form value not updating**: ensure the component is a CVA component and `ReactiveFormsModule` is imported.
- **Styles missing**: import `@voltui/components/themes.css` after Tailwind.
- **Dark mode not working**: `provideVoltTheme` toggles the `.dark` class; Tailwind `dark:` variant follows it.

Cuándo usarlo

Usa la referencia de prompt cuando tu editor o tu agente aún no admitan MCP ni skills locales. También va bien para preguntas sueltas en chats web con LLM.
Para agentes integrados, mejor el [servidor MCP](/docs/ai-mcp) o la [skill local](/docs/ai-skill), así el contexto se mantiene sincronizado solo.
