launcher
bespoke · fieldThe ⌘-space command bar - the product's front door, glowing on focus.
Coral light on glass, in the dark.
Flare is a re-reading of the command-launcher aesthetic: a near-black canvas where frosted-glass surfaces float behind hairline highlights, lit by a vivid coral that flares on every primary action. Electric azure plays the foil, corners are rounded like a native app, and a coral glow haloes the things that matter. Motion is snappy and confident on a quintic ease. It feels fast, premium, and a little playful - software that delights on a keystroke.

Pull this design system into any project - it follows the system's tokens, recipes and rules. Run the commands yourself, or let your coding agent set it up and build.
npx synthesisui@latest init --styles tailwind --ds flarenpx synthesisui@latest connectnpx synthesisui@latest connectUse the "Flare" design system (slug: flare) to: build the UI I describe next First make sure it's installed: run `npx synthesisui add flare` if `_synthesisui/ds/flare/` isn't in the project yet. Read these files first (highest authority first): - _synthesisui/ds/flare/rules.md - project rules for this system (if present); obey them above everything else - _synthesisui/ds/flare/philosophy.md - the mission, voice and principles (if present); let it shape every screen - _synthesisui/ds/flare/v16/GUIDE.md - how to apply the system, the recipes and the token vocabulary Follow this contract (target framework: next): - First check whether this refers to UI that already exists in the project. If it does, modify only what's needed and keep the rest intact and on-system. If it doesn't, build it new. - Scope the markup with `data-ds="flare"` (or rely on it at the app root). - Style with the design system only: reuse the `.ds-*` recipe classes and the DS-backed Tailwind utilities (`bg-primary`, `text-foreground`, `p-md`, `rounded-lg`, `font-display`…). Never use raw hex/px outside the system's scale. - Make sure `tokens.css` + `theme.css` are imported in the global CSS (see the GUIDE's "How to apply"). - Implement the behavior yourself (open/close, focus, routing) - the system ships the looks, not the JS. Composition (make it look composed, not just correct): - Cap page content with a max-width container and center it - this DS ships `max-w-app` for dashboards/wide UI and `max-w-prose` for text columns. Don't stretch content edge-to-edge. - Give the page a complete, intentional layout: clear vertical rhythm, sensible density and grouped sections. Never leave a single thin row floating on an empty screen. Deliver senior-level, production-quality code: clean structure, accessible (ARIA + keyboard), and responsive.
Paste into Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent. From your project you can also run npx synthesisui use flare "…".
What to install or load so the system renders at full fidelity - it ships token names and recipes, not the assets.
The system ships token names, not the fonts. Load them (Google Fonts, next/font or Fontsource) or type falls back to a generic family and loses the system's identity.
npm i lucide-reactComponents reference Lucide icon names. Install it (or swap in your own icon set) to render them.

Icons · lucide
Icons inherit the system: color via currentColor, a standardized stroke, sizing on the scale. Lucide by default; more libraries can be enabled per system.
