Vlak tools (8)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsget_componentFreeThe markdown docs page for a component (install paths, example, props tables, keyboard, accessibility), plus its props as JSON, the CSS-only snippet, the React example, its classes, and aliases. Pass the kebab-case name from list_components or search_components.
get_guideFreeRead the general guide first for installation and conventions. Select ios or android for browser React components, exact exports and related interface studies; select ai-index for the AI component catalog and optional engine imports, ai for the runnable assistant and integration recipes, ai-parity for AI Elements functional coverage and differences, or agents for machine-readable surfaces and setup.
get_installFreeThe three ways to install one component (npm package plus import line, Vlak CLI, shadcn CLI) and the CSS-only markup, with its registry dependencies.
get_tokensFreeThe design tokens page: every CSS custom property with its light and dark value and StyleX alias, plus the raw token groups (type scale, grid, radius, motion, breakpoints, control sizes).
get_workflowFreeReturn one bundled workflow manifest and its source files. Authentication, authorization, storage, and deployment remain host responsibilities described by the manifest.
list_componentsFreeEvery component in the catalogue with name, title, description, category, and aliases. Filter by category: actions, forms, navigation, feedback, surfaces, content, icons, charts, patterns, ios, android, ai, health, civic, science, creative, engineering, geospatial, robotics, electronics, microbiology.
list_workflowsFreeList bundled workflow kits and recipes. An optional query matches workflow ID, title, description, components, adapters, and states.
search_componentsFreeFind components by name, title, description, alias (AI Elements, shadcn/ui, Radix, and common names such as PromptInput, Chain of thought, Sonner, Drawer, Combobox), or rs-* class. Spacing, punctuation and capitalization do not affect matching. Returns matches ranked by field.

Install
Choose the level of ownership that fits the project. Each path is generated from the same component leaves.
Import the package. Precompiled React components and one stylesheet. No compiler to configure.
npm install @noorddev/vlak-reactimport "@noorddev/vlak-react/css";
import { Button } from "@noorddev/vlak-react";Vendor the source. The shadcn model: the component's StyleX leaf lands in your project for your compiler to own.
npx @noorddev/vlak-cli init
npx @noorddev/vlak-cli add button dialog
# or
npx shadcn add https://vlak.dev/r/button.jsonCSS only. No React. rs-* classes on plain markup.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/@noorddev/vlak/css/vlak.css" />
<button class="rs-btn-primary">Primary action</button>Dark scheme: data-theme="dark" on the root element. Without it the system preference applies.
Want a working project first? Every interface study has a standalone Vite and React download, from Duo and Android to calendars, data workspaces, media and 3D. Each download includes setup notes and any third-party asset credits. The smaller Vite and Next.js form examples are in the installation guide.

Why Vlak
Vlak treats an interface as a field rather than a stack of cards. Paper, ink, gray, type, and hairlines establish hierarchy. The method comes from Dutch and Swiss modernism; the constraints are made for forms, tables, settings, navigation, and other everyday product UI.
