Add the brand-ui BentoGrid component (from @elabs-ai/components-ui) to this project. 1. Read https://elabs-ai.com/llms.txt first: it maps every package and the rules. If you can use MCP servers, connect https://elabs-ai.com/mcp and use its search, docs and tokens tools. If not, run the same lookups in the terminal: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli search "<what you need>"` and `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs <Component>`. 2. Look BentoGrid up before writing code: `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli docs BentoGrid` prints its real props, variants, what it pairs with and what to avoid. 3. If @elabs-ai/components-ui is not installed yet: `pnpm add @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui` (or `npm install @elabs-ai/components-tokens @elabs-ai/components-ui`). If this is the first brand-ui package in the project, wire it once: import `@elabs-ai/components-tokens/styles.css` plus the `themes/light.css` and `themes/dark.css` stylesheets in the CSS entry, add one Tailwind `@source` line per installed @elabs-ai package (Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so without it everything renders unstyled), and wrap the app root in `ThemeProvider` from `@elabs-ai/components-tokens`. 4. Use it here: [the screen or file, and what it should show] 5. Rules: use only @elabs-ai/components-* components and the semantic tokens — no raw colours, no raw font sizes, no arbitrary Tailwind values. Look up each component's real props with the docs tool before you use it; never guess a prop. 6. Done means: the typecheck passes, `npx -y @elabs-ai/components-cli audit src --strict` reports nothing, and you have opened the app and looked at every screen you touched in the light and the dark theme.
Examples
Interactive
Clickable tiles via the stretched-link pattern: an inner `<a className="absolute inset-0">` makes the whole tile a single link, and `interactive` gives it a pointer cursor + a `focus-within` ring (keyboard-visible).
Spotlight
The cursor-following spotlight is OPT-IN. Set `spotlight` on the `BentoGrid` to enable it for every tile; a tile's own `spotlight` prop still wins, so one tile can opt back out. Suppressed entirely under OS reduced-motion — the hover elevation carries the interaction on its own there.
Explicit Spans
Explicit `span` overrides the size presets for bespoke layouts.
Edge States
Edge states: a very long unbroken string (must not overflow) and a per-tile spotlight opt-in.
API
BentoGrid
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
className | string | Additional className merged via cn(). |
spotlight | boolean | Enable the cursor-following spotlight on every tile in this grid. Individual tiles can still opt out (or in) with their own `spotlight` prop. Disabled entirely under OS `prefers-reduced-motion` regardless of this prop. @default false |
BentoGridItem
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
size | BentoGridSize | Size preset. Resolves to a col + row span. Overridden by explicit `span`. @default "sm" |
span | { col?: number; row?: number } | Explicit grid span. Wins over `size`. Spans clamp gracefully on narrow layouts — a `col: 4` on a 2-col grid becomes `span min(4, 2)`. |
spotlight | boolean | Enable the cursor-following spotlight gradient on this tile. Omit to inherit the parent `BentoGrid`'s `spotlight` (itself `false` by default) — so the effect is opt-in, per grid or per tile. Disabled entirely under OS `prefers-reduced-motion` regardless of this prop. @default false (inherited from BentoGrid) |
