- Categories: article
- Listed: 2026-10-13, source last changed 2026-10-13

## Install

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://7ovr.com/r/article-5.json
```

Run it in a project that has shadcn/ui set up. It adds the files below and installs what they depend on.

## Dependencies

- npm packages: `@base-ui/react`
- Registry items: `avatar`, `badge`, `button`, `input`, `separator`

## Notes from the registry

Requires a `base-*` style in components.json (the `shadcn init` default). Legacy `new-york`/`radix-*` styles install Radix primitives, which reject the `render` prop this block uses.

            <p>
              A design system is only as valuable as the trust people place in
              it. When engineers reach for a component and it behaves exactly as
              expected, the system disappears into the background and the work
              speeds up.
            </p>
            <p>
              The hard part is not the components themselves — it&apos;s the
              contracts around them: naming, accessibility guarantees, and the
              promise that upgrades won&apos;t break the surfaces already built.
            </p>
            <h2 className="pt-2 font-heading text-lg font-bold tracking-tight text-foreground">
              Start with the contract
            </h2>
            <p>
              Before writing a single line of a component, we write down what it
              promises: the props it accepts, the states it supports, and the
              behavior it guarantees in both themes. That contract is what
              teammates actually depend on.
            </p>
            <p>
              Everything else — tokens, docs, tests — exists to keep that
              contract honest as the system grows.
