### src/main.tsx
```tsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import { BrowserRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import App from './App';
import './styles/globals.css';
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
<React.StrictMode>
<BrowserRouter>
<App />
</BrowserRouter>
</React.StrictMode>
);
```
### src/App.tsx
```tsx
import { Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';
import { AnimatePresence } from 'framer-motion';
import { AppShell } from './components/layout/AppShell';
import { Dashboard } from './pages/Dashboard';
import { Settings } from './pages/Settings';
export default function App() {
return (
<AppShell>
<AnimatePresence mode="wait">
<Routes>
<Route path="/" element={<Dashboard />} />
<Route path="/settings" element={<Settings />} />
</Routes>
</AnimatePresence>
</AppShell>
);
}
```
## Animation Patterns
### Framer Motion Variants
```tsx
// Fade in on mount
export const fadeIn = {
initial: { opacity: 0 },
animate: { opacity: 1 },
exit: { opacity: 0 },
transition: { duration: 0.2 },
};
// Slide up on mount
export const slideUp = {
initial: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
animate: { opacity: 1, y: 0 },
exit: { opacity: 0, y: 20 },
transition: { duration: 0.3, ease: 'easeOut' },
};
// Scale on hover (for buttons/cards)
export const scaleOnHover = {
whileHover: { scale: 1.02 },
whileTap: { scale: 0.98 },
transition: { type: 'spring', stiffness: 400, damping: 17 },
};
// Stagger children
export const staggerContainer = {
hidden: { opacity: 0 },
visible: {
opacity: 1,
transition: {
staggerChildren: 0.05,
delayChildren: 0.1,
},
},
};
export const staggerItem = {
hidden: { opacity: 0, y: 10 },
visible: {
opacity: 1,
y: 0,
transition: { duration: 0.2, ease: 'easeOut' },
},
};
```
### Page Transition Wrapper
```tsx
import { motion } from 'framer-motion';
import { ReactNode } from 'react';
interface PageTransitionProps {
children: ReactNode;
}
export function PageTransition({ children }: PageTransitionProps) {
return (
<motion.div
initial={{ opacity: 0, y: 20 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1, y: 0 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0, y: -20 }}
transition={{ duration: 0.3, ease: 'easeOut' }}
>
{children}
</motion.div>
);
}
```
## Glass Effect Patterns
### Glass Card
```tsx
<div className="glass-card p-6">
<h2 className="text-lg font-semibold text-text-primary">Card Title</h2>
<p className="text-text-secondary mt-2">Card content goes here.</p>
</div>
```
### Glass Panel (Sidebar)
```tsx
<aside className="glass-panel w-64 h-screen p-4">
<nav className="space-y-2">
{/* Navigation items */}
</nav>
</aside>
```
### Glass Modal Overlay
```tsx
<motion.div
className="fixed inset-0 glass-overlay flex items-center justify-center z-50"
initial={{ opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ opacity: 1 }}
exit={{ opacity: 0 }}
>
<motion.div
className="glass-card p-6 max-w-md w-full mx-4"
initial={{ scale: 0.95, opacity: 0 }}
animate={{ scale: 1, opacity: 1 }}
exit={{ scale: 0.95, opacity: 0 }}
>
{/* Modal content */}
</motion.div>
</motion.div>
```
## Typography
| Element | Classes |
|---------|---------|
| Page title | `text-2xl font-semibold text-text-primary` |
| Section title | `text-lg font-semibold text-text-primary` |
| Card title | `text-base font-medium text-text-primary` |
| Body text | `text-sm text-text-secondary` |
| Caption | `text-xs text-text-muted` |
| Label | `text-sm font-medium text-text-secondary` |
## Color Usage
| Use Case | Color | Class |
|----------|-------|-------|
| Primary action | Brand purple | `bg-brand text-white` |
| Primary hover | Brand hover | `hover:bg-brand-hover` |
| Page background | Neutral bg1 | `bg-neutral-bg1` |
| Card background | Neutral bg2 | `bg-neutral-bg2` |
| Elevated surface | Neutral bg3 | `bg-neutral-bg3` |
| Input background | Neutral bg2 | `bg-neutral-bg2` |
| Input focus | Neutral bg3 | `focus:bg-neutral-bg3` |
| Border default | Border default | `border-border` |
| Border subtle | Border subtle | `border-border-subtle` |
| Success | Status success | `text-status-success` |
| Warning | Status warning | `text-status-warning` |

Related Skills
firecrawl-build-search
Integrate Firecrawl `/search` into product code and agent workflows. Use when an app needs discovery before extraction, when the feature starts with a query instead of a URL, or when the system should search the web and optionally hydrate result content.
firecrawl-build-onboarding
Get Firecrawl credentials and SDK setup into a project. Use when an application needs `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, when an agent should add Firecrawl to `.env`, when the user wants to authenticate Firecrawl for app code, or when choosing the first SDK and docs for a new Firecrawl integration. This skill includes its own browser auth flow, so it does not depend on the website onboarding skill.
firecrawl-build
Integrate Firecrawl into application code whenever a product, agent, or workflow needs web data inside the app ā web search, live search results, page scraping, structured extraction, or browser interaction. Use when building any feature that needs data from the web in code, even if the user does not mention Firecrawl explicitly and only describes wanting web data, website content, search, scraping, or interaction in an application. Trigger for Firecrawl requests, "fire girl" shorthand, and generic app-level web-data needs that should map to `/scrape`, `/search`, or `/interact`. Do not use this skill for one-off terminal-only web tasks during the current session; use `firecrawl/cli` for those.
firecrawl-build-interact
Integrate Firecrawl `/interact` into product code for dynamic pages and browser actions after scraping. Use when a feature needs clicks, form fills, pagination, authentication-aware flows, or other multi-step interactions that plain `/scrape` cannot complete.
