## Contributing — add a pattern

The registry lives in `src/registry/`:

- `patterns.ts` — patterns surfaced by `get_ui_pattern`
- `components.ts` — components surfaced by `get_component` (must set `componentType`)
- `motion.ts` — configs surfaced by `get_motion_config`

Add a new entry to the relevant array following the `RegistryEntry` shape (`src/types.ts`):

```ts
{
  id: "my-pattern",                 // unique kebab-case id
  name: "My Pattern",
  tags: ["..."],                    // drives fuzzy search — be generous
  complexity: "elevated",           // "clean" | "elevated" | "insane"
  framework: ["react"],
  componentType: "card",            // components only — enables get_component
  interaction: "hover",             // optional
