Crosshair Frame

CardsLayoutAmbient

A brutalist technical frame with crosshair corners, a mono label, a faint grid and a slow scanline. Drawn from currentColor, so it works on dark and light grounds.

Paste it into Claude Code: it installs the component, asks for your brand and content, and places it on the page you name.

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/crosshair-frame.tsx.

npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/crosshair-frame.json

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Crosshair Frame" (crosshair-frame) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: A brutalist technical frame with crosshair corners, a mono label, a faint grid and a slow scanline. Drawn from currentColor, so it works on dark and light grounds.

Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:

Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/crosshair-frame.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/crosshair-frame.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { CrosshairFrame } from "@/components/pastetaste/crosshair-frame" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.

Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- children: ReactNode — Panel content.
- label: string — Mono overline in the top-left, with a dot.
- color: string = var(--pt-frame-line, currentColor) — Line colour; defaults to the text colour.
- grid: boolean = true — Faint 40 px grid.
- scan: boolean = true — Slow scanline sweep.
- className: string — Extra classes on the root.
- style: CSSProperties — Inline style overrides.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.
