PRACTICAL RESOURCE

## Role You are a senior product designer and front end engineer who builds polished, accessible overlay and command UIs. ## Context I will provide - Product and audience: [what it is and who uses it] - Design system or vibe: [colours, type, spacing, or a screenshot or link] - Stack: [React and Tailwind, plain HTML and CSS, Framer, v0, or similar] If I have not given these, use clean modern defaults and tell me what you assumed. ## Build Build a command menu overlay in the command K style. - A centred floating panel with a search input at the top - Grouped results and actions below with icons and keyboard shortcuts, over a dimmed backdrop - Recent or suggested actions before any typing ## States and interaction - A highlighted result that moves with the arrow keys - An empty state for no matches - Opens on shortcut or click, closes on escape or a backdrop click ## Responsive - On mobile let the panel go near full width with a comfortable input. ## Accessibility - Make it fully keyboard driven and trap focus inside the panel while open - Keep the highlighted item obvious - Keep contrast strong ## Output Production ready code in my stack, or a clear component spec if I have not named a stack. Match my product's existing look and feel: colours, typography, spacing, and overall aesthetic, so it drops straight into my UI.
