Skill Prompt

- Inputs must include command sources, target users, command scale, global-search scope, executable vs navigational command distinction, permission model, shortcuts, mobile entry, and cmdk/shadcn usage.
- Classify commands first: navigation, create, settings toggle, run action, resource search, recent, and context-specific; each type needs different icon, description, and post-action feedback.
- The keyboard contract specifies open shortcut, input focus, Arrow navigation, Enter execute, Escape close/clear, Home/End, Tab behavior, and IME-safe handling.
- The command list needs groups, separators, selected item, disabled/permission-denied, loading, empty, recent, no-results, danger-action confirmation, and fuzzy-match highlighting.
- Do not hide complex forms inside a command palette; when a task needs multiple fields, dangerous confirmation, or long-running configuration, the command should route to a page, drawer, or dialog.
- Accessible implementation follows a combobox/listbox or command-primitive contract: the input has an accessible name, result count is announced, and active descendant/selected item matches visible state.
- Permissions and context stay visible: unavailable commands explain why and how to request/switch access; contextual commands name the target object to avoid destructive mistakes.
- Mobile fallback can be a search page, bottom sheet, or quick-action list; do not depend on Cmd+K, and do not let the virtual keyboard cover results or the close affordance.
- Deliver a command schema, grouping rules, keyboard matrix, empty/loading/permission copy, action-handler contract, analytics events, and desktop/mobile QA checklist.
- Sources referenced: shadcn Command/cmdk examples, WAI-ARIA Combobox pattern, Radix Popover accessibility, and Raycast/Linear command-palette product conventions. The content is rewritten as Interface Lab command skill guidance.
