# UI Patterns

> Product and persuasive interface pattern catalog for agents, compiled as a provenance-forward navigation layer over [ui-patterns.com](https://ui-patterns.com/patterns).

## Scope

### Covers

The `ui-patterns` namespace covers the public UI Patterns pattern catalog structure: pattern titles, source URLs, UI/persuasive taxonomy, section availability, example counts, provenance, copyright boundary, and agent-facing retrieval guidance for product/design review.

### Not Covered

This namespace does not republish full source pattern bodies, screenshots, comments, paid card-deck content, or commercial-clean training data. For exact wording and examples, retrieve the original source page and quote only bounded snippets when necessary.

### Current As

2026-07-02 — Initial import cataloged 170 pattern pages across 2 tracks and 11 groups from `https://ui-patterns.com/patterns`. Robots.txt allows `/patterns` crawling and disallows `/search`; the source footer says all rights reserved, so the public wiki remains a catalog and retrieval map.

## Canonical Source Roots

- Pattern index: `https://ui-patterns.com/patterns`
- Source site: `https://ui-patterns.com`
- Robots policy checked: `https://ui-patterns.com/robots.txt`
- Retrieved at: `2026-07-02T18:23:09+00:00`

## Agent Use Contract

- Start with [[summaries/for-agents-ui-patterns-retrieval|For Agents — UI Patterns Retrieval]].
- Search by pattern title, group, subgroup, or track.
- Open the source URL before relying on exact source wording, screenshot details, or nuanced usage limits.
- Treat this namespace as a design-review routing layer, not a license to bulk-copy the source site.
- Cite the source URL and this namespace page when turning a pattern into product recommendations.

## Public Output Contract

When published to `pixi-wiki`, this namespace should expose:

```text
/raw/ui-patterns/README.md
/raw/ui-patterns/wiki/index.md
/wiki/ui-patterns/README.md.html
/wiki/ui-patterns/wiki/index.md.html
