+# Sheet
+
+**Category:** overlay  
+**Description:** Slide-in panel from any edge, using popover=manual and @starting-style animations
+
+## When to use
+
+- Showing secondary content or a form in a panel that slides in from a screen edge
+- Navigation, filters, or detail views that benefit from full-height side space without leaving the page
+- Mobile-friendly drawers where a centered modal would feel cramped
+
+## When NOT to use
+
+- A short confirmation or focused decision — use Modal or AlertDialog
+- Small contextual content anchored to a trigger — use Popover
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+### A full edge-to-edge panel is overkill for a yes/no decision; AlertDialog is the right scale and semantics
+
+**Bad:** `<Sheet title="Delete item?">Are you sure?</Sheet>`  
+**Good:** `<AlertDialog title="Delete item?" />`  
+**Why:** A full edge-to-edge panel is overkill for a yes/no decision; AlertDialog is the right scale and semantics
+
+## Related components
+
+- **Modal** (alternative): Use for centered, focused dialogs rather than edge panels
+- **Popover** (alternative): Use for small content anchored to a trigger element
+
+## Accessibility rationale
+
+Uses popover="manual" with role="dialog" and aria-modal so it is announced as a modal surface; when a title is provided it labels the dialog via aria-labelledby (so rich title nodes stay accessible), and Escape/Tab handling comes from the popover platform behavior.

+# ShellHeader
+
+**Category:** navigation  
+**Description:** Console application header: brand with prefix, dropdown nav menus, global icon actions, hamburger, skip-to-content
+
+## When to use
+
+- Building console/admin app chrome with brand, dropdown nav, and global icon actions
+- Providing a hamburger that toggles a SideNav and a skip-to-content link
+- Hosting global controls (notifications, switcher, user menu) in one top bar
+
+## When NOT to use
+
+- A simple marketing or app top bar — use Header
+- In-page section headings — use Heading
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+### ShellHeader carries console machinery (dropdowns, icon actions, hamburger) that is overkill for simple sites
+
+**Bad:** `Reaching for ShellHeader on a basic landing page`  
+**Good:** `<Header> for simple top bars`  
+**Why:** ShellHeader carries console machinery (dropdowns, icon actions, hamburger) that is overkill for simple sites
+
+## Related components
+
+- **SideNav** (pairs-with): The hamburger toggles a SideNav in the app shell
+- **HeaderPanel** (pairs-with): Icon actions open HeaderPanels (notifications, switcher)
+- **Header** (alternative): Header is the simpler top bar for non-console apps
+
+## Accessibility rationale
+
+role="banner" landmarks the header; nav dropdowns expose aria-expanded, icon actions use aria-pressed, the hamburger reports aria-expanded, and a skip-to-content link lets keyboard users bypass the chrome

+# SideNav
+
+**Category:** navigation  
+**Description:** Collapsible sidebar navigation with optional icons and one level of grouping
+
+## When to use
+
+- Persistent primary navigation along the side of an app shell
+- Grouping nav items one level deep with collapsible groups
+- Saving space with a collapsible icon rail (collapsed / expandOnHover)
+
+## When NOT to use
+
+- Top-level horizontal navigation — use Header or ShellHeader nav
+- A transient contextual menu — use Dropdown
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+### Deep nesting in a sidebar is hard to scan and the component supports only one level by design
+
+**Bad:** `Nesting nav groups more than one level deep`  
+**Good:** `Flatten to a single level of grouping, or split into sections`  
+**Why:** Deep nesting in a sidebar is hard to scan and the component supports only one level by design
+
+## Related components
+
+- **ShellHeader** (pairs-with): The header hamburger toggles SideNav collapse
+
+## Accessibility rationale
+
+role="navigation" with an aria-label names the region; the collapse toggle has an explicit expand/collapse label, groups expose aria-expanded, and the collapsed rail provides tooltips/flyouts so icon-only items remain identifiable

+# Skeleton
+
+**Category:** display  
+**Description:** Animated loading placeholder that mirrors the shape of pending content
+
+## When to use
+
+- Indicating loading by mirroring the shape of the content that will appear
+- Reducing layout shift while data for a known structure is fetching
+- Loading larger content regions where shape preview reassures the user
+
+## When NOT to use
+
+- Indeterminate work with no known content shape — use Spinner
+- A view that is empty rather than loading — use EmptyState
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+### A persistent skeleton signals perpetual loading and traps assistive tech in a pending state
+
+**Bad:** `Leaving Skeleton mounted after data has loaded`  
+**Good:** `Swap Skeleton for the real content once data resolves`  
+**Why:** A persistent skeleton signals perpetual loading and traps assistive tech in a pending state
+
+## Related components
+
+- **Spinner** (alternative): Spinner suits indeterminate work with no content shape to preview
+- **EmptyState** (alternative): Use EmptyState when the result is empty, not loading
+
+## Accessibility rationale
+
+Presentational by role — the placeholder shapes carry no meaning; the surrounding region should expose busy/loading state so assistive tech is not left guessing

+# SkipNav
+
+**Category:** navigation  
+**Description:** Skip link that jumps keyboard users past the navigation to the main content
+
+## When to use
+
+- Letting keyboard users jump past repeated navigation to the main content
+- Meeting WCAG bypass-blocks by providing a skip link as the first focusable element
+- Targeting a custom main-content anchor (targetId / matching SkipNavTarget id)
+
+## When NOT to use
+
+- General in-page navigation — use anchor links or a table of contents
+- Visible persistent navigation — this link is hidden until focused
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+### A skip link only works if the user reaches it before tabbing through the nav it bypasses
+
+**Bad:** `Placing SkipNavLink after the navigation in the DOM`  
+**Good:** `Make SkipNavLink the first focusable element on the page`  
+**Why:** A skip link only works if the user reaches it before tabbing through the nav it bypasses
+
+## Related components
+
+- **ShellHeader** (alternative): ShellHeader has a built-in skip-to-content link for console shells
+
+## Accessibility rationale
+
+Renders an anchor that is visually hidden until focused, then becomes visible so sighted keyboard users see where focus is; activating it moves focus to the matching target past the navigation
+

+# Slider
+
+**Category:** inputs  
+**Description:** Range input for selecting a value within bounds
+
+## When to use
+
+- Selecting a value within a continuous or stepped numeric range where approximate adjustment is fine
+- Settings like volume, brightness, or opacity where dragging gives instant feedback
+- When the bounds (min/max) matter more than entering an exact figure
+
+## When NOT to use
+
+- A precise numeric value must be typed — use NumberInput
+- Picking a discrete rating on a small scale where stars/icons read better — use RatingGroup
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+### A huge range makes a single value impossible to hit by dragging; type the exact number instead
+
+**Bad:** `<Slider label="Price" min={0} max={1000000} />`
