UI Patterns Knowledge Base
updated: 2026-07-02
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 Of
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.
Agent access: /wiki/ui-patterns/llms.txt /wiki/ui-patterns/llms-full.txt /wiki/ui-patterns/index.json

Structure
raw/— raw Markdown provenance mirror for agents and source inspection.wiki/— synthesized knowledge pages: concepts, entities, summaries, and syntheses.- Schema and maintenance rules: see
CLAUDE.md.
Usage
- Add new sources: update canonical source notes in
pixi-vault, then compile into this namespace. - Ask questions: agents read this wiki and cite raw/source paths.
- Publish: regenerate
pixi-wiki, run tests, then live-verify raw and HTML routes.
Product and persuasive interface pattern catalog for agents, compiled as a provenance-forward navigation layer over ui-patterns.com.

Agent Use Contract¶
- Start with 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.
