Magic Patterns

inspiration

Explore several distinct UI design directions for a screen or component in Magic Patterns (magicpatterns.com). First recreates the current UI as a faithful baseline, then creates a shareable magicpatterns.com/inspiration/<id> document and streams in four self-contained HTML concepts tuned to the kind of exploration wanted (entrypoint/discoverability, information architecture/navigation, or visual display). The hosted comparison link is the deliverable. Use when the user wants design inspiration, alternative directions, layout options, variations, or a "show me a few approaches" exploration before committing to an implementation.

integrate-magic-patterns-design

Adapt code generated by Magic Patterns (magicpatterns.com) into an existing codebase. Use when the user shares a Magic Patterns design, prototype, exported zip, "Copy Code as Prompt" output, or a magicpatterns.com URL and wants it implemented, integrated, or productionized in their project. Treats the Magic Patterns code as a design spec, not as code to copy verbatim.

prototype

Prototype an idea in Magic Patterns (magicpatterns.com) starting from your local UI. Use when the user gives a prompt for something they want to prototype or explore and wants an iterable Magic Patterns design grounded in their existing code. Seeds a design by recreating the relevant local UI (recreate-as-react) and uploading it, then prompts Magic Patterns to design the new idea, returns the editor link, and opens it in the browser. Requires the Magic Patterns MCP server.

recreate-as-raw-html

Recreate a component, screen, or pasted code from any codebase as a single self-contained raw HTML file (Tailwind Play CDN + web fonts) that faithfully reproduces its styling, colors, spacing, and fonts. Use when the user asks for a "raw HTML recreation", an "HTML version" of a component, "make an HTML copy of X", or references a component/screen by name (e.g. "Take the <ComponentName> and give me raw HTML").

recreate-as-react

Recreate a component, screen, or pasted code from any codebase as a self-contained React + TypeScript + Tailwind prototype (App.tsx / index.tsx / index.css, named exports, one component per file) that renders in the Magic Patterns prototype environment and faithfully reproduces the original's styling, colors, spacing, and fonts. Use when the user asks for a "React recreation", a "React version" of a component, "recreate X as React", or as the porting engine for the upload-to-magic-patterns and prototype skills.

upload-to-magic-patterns

Upload UI you are building locally into Magic Patterns (magicpatterns.com) and return the editor link. Use when the user wants to push a component/screen they are working on in their codebase into Magic Patterns as a design — for review, stakeholder sign-off, or further iteration. Requires the Magic Patterns MCP server.
