Procedural Cover

MediaCards

Project covers without photography: a lit gradient ground, grain and one of eight geometric motifs. Fills its container; ideal for work grids and case rows.

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/procedural-cover.tsx.

npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/procedural-cover.json

Prompt

Install the pastetaste component "Procedural Cover" (procedural-cover) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Project covers without photography: a lit gradient ground, grain and one of eight geometric motifs. Fills its container; ideal for work grids and case rows.

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/procedural-cover.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/procedural-cover.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { ProceduralCover } from "@/components/pastetaste/procedural-cover" (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):
- kind: 'rings' | 'halftone' | 'stripes' | 'grid' | 'wave' | 'noise' | 'orbit' | 'facets' = 'rings' — Which geometric motif to draw.
- accent: string = var(--pt-accent, #2e63ff) — Accent used by the motif.
- tone: 'dark' | 'light' = 'dark' — Charcoal or paper ground.
- hover: boolean = true — Scale up slightly on hover of itself or of a `.pt-group` ancestor.
- 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.
