Pattern Implement

Use Skill("ct") for ct CLI documentation when running commands.

Implement Sub-Pattern

Core Rule

Write ONE sub-pattern with minimal stub UI. No styling, just basic inputs/buttons to verify data flow.

Always use pattern<Input, Output>() - expose actions as Stream<T> for testability.

Order

1. Leaf patterns first (no dependencies on other patterns)
2. Container patterns (compose leaf patterns)
3. main.tsx last (composes everything)

Read First

• docs/common/patterns/ - especially meta/ for generalizable idioms
• docs/common/concepts/action.md - action() for local state
• docs/common/concepts/handler.md - handler() for reusable logic
• docs/common/concepts/reactivity.md - Cell behavior, .get()/.set()
• docs/common/concepts/identity.md - equals() for object comparison

Key Patterns

action() - Closes over local state in pattern body:

const inputValue = Cell.of("");
const submit = action(() => {
  items.push({ text: inputValue.get() });
  inputValue.set("");
});

handler() - Reused with different bindings:

const deleteItem = handler<void, { items: Writable<Item[]>; index: number }>(
  (_, { items, index }) => items.set(items.get().toSpliced(index, 1))
);
// In JSX: items, index })}

Rendering sub-patterns - Use function calls, not JSX:

// ✅ Correct
{items.map((item) => ItemPattern({ item, allItems: items }))}

// ❌ Wrong - JSX fails with typed Output
{items.map((item) => <ItemPattern item={item} />)}

Done When

• Pattern compiles: deno task ct check pattern.tsx --no-run
• Minimal UI renders inputs/buttons
• Ready for testing
