# Team switcher

> A workspace switcher like Linear, Vercel or Slack. The trigger shows the current workspace's logo and plan. The menu has search, your role in each workspace and a Cmd+1 to 9 shortcut for each, and lets you create or join a workspace inline. A highlight glides between rows, and switching crossfades the trigger through a short loading state.

    />
  );
}
```

## API reference

### TeamSwitcher

A workspace switcher: a trigger with the current workspace's logo and plan, and a menu with search, roles, Cmd/Ctrl+number shortcuts, and inline create and join views. With no props it switches between six sample workspaces and simulates every action.

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `workspaces` | `Workspace[]` | `sampleWorkspaces` | The workspaces you belong to: { id, name, plan?, members?, role?, logo?, tile?: { background, color? } }. The first nine get Cmd/Ctrl+1 to 9. Size a custom logo in em; the tile sets font-size to its own size. |
| `value` | `string` | – | The active workspace id. Pair with onValueChange. |
| `defaultValue` | `string` | `first workspace` | The starting workspace when uncontrolled. |
| `onValueChange` | `(id: string, workspace: Workspace) => void` | – | Called once a switch has finished loading. |
| `onSwitch` | `(workspace: Workspace, signal: AbortSignal) => Promise<void>` | – | Loads the workspace. The trigger crossfades to the new workspace with a switching state until it resolves; a rejection reverts and shows the error's message. A newer switch aborts the older one. Simulated (650ms) when left out. |
| `onCreateWorkspace` | `(name: string, signal: AbortSignal) => Promise<Workspace \| void>` | – | Creates a workspace. Return it to add it and switch to it; throw an Error to show its message under the field. Simulated when left out. |
| `onJoinWorkspace` | `(invite: string, signal: AbortSignal) => Promise<Workspace \| void>` | – | Joins from an invite link or code. Return the workspace to switch to it; throw an Error to show its message. Simulated when left out, with sample invites for Resend and Notion. |
| `open` | `boolean` | – | Controls the menu. Pair with onOpenChange. |
| `defaultOpen` | `boolean` | `false` | Starts with the menu open, without moving focus. |
| `onOpenChange` | `(open: boolean) => void` | – | Called when the menu opens or closes. |
| `globalShortcuts` | `boolean` | `false` | Listens for Cmd/Ctrl+1 to 9 anywhere on the page. Off, the shortcuts work while focus is inside the switcher. |
| `simulatedDelay` | `number` | `650` | How long the simulated switch takes, in milliseconds. |
| `disabled` | `boolean` | `false` | Disables the trigger. |
| `className` | `string` | – | Class on the root. The root is up to 360px wide and fills narrower containers. |

### WorkspaceTile

The workspace avatar on its own: the brand mark on its brand color, or the first letter of the name.

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `workspace` (required) | `Workspace` | – | The workspace to draw. |
| `size` | `number` | `28` | Tile size in pixels. The corner radius and mark scale with it. |

## Keyboard interactions

| Keys | Action |
| --- | --- |
| Enter / Space / ArrowDown | On the trigger, opens the menu and moves focus to the search field. |
| Type | Filters workspaces by name, plan or role. With no match, Enter opens Create workspace with the name filled in. |
| ArrowDown / ArrowUp | Moves the highlight through workspaces and actions, wrapping at the ends. |
| Home / End | Jumps to the first or last item when the search is empty. |
| Enter | Switches to the highlighted workspace, or opens Create workspace or Join with invite. |
| Cmd/Ctrl+1 to 9 | Switches to the workspace at that place in the list. Works while focus is in the switcher, or anywhere with globalShortcuts. |
| Escape | Goes back from create or join, then clears the search, then closes and returns focus to the trigger. |

## Accessibility

- The trigger is a button with aria-haspopup="dialog", aria-expanded and aria-busy while switching; its label reads the workspace and its plan.
- The search field is a combobox that owns a listbox and points at the highlighted row with aria-activedescendant, so focus never leaves the field while navigating.
- The current workspace is aria-selected and marked with a check icon, not color alone. Errors pair an icon with text.
- A polite live region announces switching, the result, and when an action was simulated ("Simulated, nothing was sent").
- Closing with Escape or by choosing returns focus to the trigger. Tabbing out or clicking outside closes the menu.

## Motion

- The menu fades and scales in from 98% over 180ms and leaves in 120ms.
- One highlight glides between rows with a bounce-free spring (visualDuration 0.24) and appears in place instead of sliding in from the top.
- Switching crossfades the trigger's logo, name and plan line (100ms out, 160ms in, 2px y) through a shimmer label and a spinner. Nothing resizes.
- The create and join views crossfade inside a fixed-height panel with a 6px horizontal shift that follows the navigation direction.
- Reduced motion keeps the crossfades and feedback as plain fades and drops the glide, shifts and scale.

## Responsive behavior

- The root is up to 360px wide and fills narrower containers, so it holds at 360px and 390px viewports.
- Names and plan lines truncate with an ellipsis; roles and shortcuts keep their width.
- The list shows six rows and scrolls beyond that without a visible scrollbar; the panel height never changes.
- Rows are 48px tall for touch, and pointer and keyboard drive the same highlight.

## Performance

- One motion value pair drives the highlight; rows do not animate individually.
- Filtering is a plain in-memory match on name, plan and role, fine for hundreds of workspaces.
- Marks are inline SVG; no images load.

## Notes for AI

- Use it at the top of an app sidebar or in a header for multi-tenant SaaS: organizations, teams, projects or stores.
- Pass real workspaces with logo and tile when the tenant has a brand mark; otherwise the tile falls back to a letter avatar.
- Wire onSwitch to whatever loads the tenant (route prefetch, session switch); keep the promise short, the trigger shows a loading state meanwhile.
- Return the created or joined workspace from onCreateWorkspace or onJoinWorkspace and also add it to the workspaces prop; the switcher dedupes by id.
- The menu is absolutely positioned below the trigger. Leave about 450px below it or place it where the panel can overflow.

Compare crossfades to a side-by-side table against any rival with the better values marked, and the card never changes size.
- [AI workflow](https://uiarc.dev/components/ai-workflow/markdown): A Linear-style AI workflow card where a Gmail trigger, a Claude step, a branch and Slack and Linear actions sit on one hairline rail, and a test run glides down it, opening each step's output inline. Steps are added from a compact command menu with real app marks.
- [Code suggestion](https://uiarc.dev/components/code-suggestion/markdown): An AI code edit suggestion where the model's proposed changes stream into a small editor panel as inline diff hunks, and you accept or reject each one, or all at once with Cmd+Enter. Accepted hunks fold into the file with a smooth height change.
- [Ghost text](https://uiarc.dev/components/ghost-text/markdown): An inline AI autocomplete where muted ghost text continues your sentence exactly at the caret and Tab turns it solid in place. Cmd+Right takes it one word at a time, Escape fades it away, and a calm chip shows the model behind it.
- [Image generation](https://uiarc.dev/components/image-generation/markdown): An image generation card where four images resolve as a pixel mosaic, from coarse colour blocks to full detail under a soft shimmer, each with its own progress ring.

- [Reply draft](https://uiarc.dev/components/reply-draft/markdown): An AI email reply drafter where Claude streams a reply under a received Gmail message. Quick replies steer a fresh draft, tone and length rewrite it with a single crossfade, and you can edit the finished draft before you insert it.
- [Agent handoff](https://uiarc.dev/components/agent-handoff/markdown): A support conversation where an AI assistant hands off to a person. When it transfers, a card shows the summary it passes to the team and the typical wait. The person then joins and takes over, and a thin timeline on the left marks each step.
- [PII redaction](https://uiarc.dev/components/pii-redaction/markdown): A guardrail card where personal data is redacted before the prompt reaches the model. Scan marks each name, email, phone number and card with its type and swaps it for a placeholder like [EMAIL_1]. The safe prompt travels to Claude, and the reply comes back with the original values put back for the person.
- [Response feedback](https://uiarc.dev/components/response-feedback/markdown): A feedback control for AI replies where thumbs down opens an inline panel with reason chips and an optional note, thumbs up fills and asks what was good, and a submit shows a short thank-you before folding back into the row.

- [Provider keys](https://uiarc.dev/components/provider-keys/markdown): A settings card for bring-your-own-key AI products. Each provider row shows its real mark, the masked key, a status and when the key was last used. You can reveal a key for five seconds, copy, rotate or remove it with undo. Adding or rotating a key opens an inline form that checks the format as you type, then tests the connection before saving.
- [Generation stats](https://uiarc.dev/components/generation-stats/markdown): A live stats strip for a streaming LLM response where time to first token, speed with a sparkline, output tokens and cost count up in tabular numerals beside the model's real mark, then settle and open into a latency and token cost breakdown.
- [AI translate](https://uiarc.dev/components/ai-translate/markdown): A message card where picking a language streams the AI translation in place, sentence by sentence over the dimmed original, with a detected-language chip, a Show original toggle and a status line credited to the model's mark.
- [TL;DR toggle](https://uiarc.dev/components/tldr-toggle/markdown): An article card with a Full, Summary and Key points switch and a length slider. Switching streams an AI summary in place of the article as the card's height springs to fit, and each key point links back to the paragraph it came from, which gets scrolled to and highlighted.
- [Connector setup](https://uiarc.dev/components/connector-setup/markdown): A "Connect your tools" card for an AI assistant. Each app connects inline: it redirects, authorizes and runs a first sync with a progress hairline, then lists the scopes it was granted and offers Disconnect with an inline confirm.
- [Smart form fill](https://uiarc.dev/components/smart-form-fill/markdown): A paste-to-fill form card where AI reads an email signature or messy notes and fills a contact field by field. Each value flashes in with a confidence dot, its source lights up in the pasted text, low-confidence guesses ask for review, and Undo puts the old values back.
- [Enrich column](https://uiarc.dev/components/enrich-column/markdown): An AI enrichment column for a data table, where one prompt runs down every row and each cell shimmers while it works, then settles into a value with its source or a failure you can retry.
- [Ticket router](https://uiarc.dev/components/ticket-router/markdown): A support ticket router where messages from Gmail, Intercom, Slack and Zendesk come in one at a time. An AI classifier labels each one with intent, sentiment and confidence, and the ticket moves into a team lane with an assignee. Low confidence tickets wait in a review lane, and one click there routes them to the suggested team.
- [Ask your data](https://uiarc.dev/components/ask-your-data/markdown): A natural language to chart card: you ask a question, PostgreSQL streams into a collapsible, syntax highlighted panel, the query runs with a rolling row count, and the answer builds as stacked bars, lines or a table, with a one line insight streamed in underneath.
- [Agent cursor](https://uiarc.dev/components/agent-cursor/markdown): A live document where Claude edits like a collaborator. Its labeled cursor comes out of its avatar, selects a paragraph and streams in a rewrite, adds a heading and fixes a typo, while a teammate's cursor reads along. Changes stay tinted until someone accepts or undoes them from a floating review bar.
- [Provider status](https://uiarc.dev/components/provider-status/markdown): A status card for the AI providers your product depends on. Each row shows the provider's real mark, its health as an icon and label, p50 latency and a 30-day uptime bar with a tooltip for each day. An incident row expands into its timeline of updates, and the card checks again on a visible countdown.
- [Training run](https://uiarc.dev/components/training-run/markdown): A fine-tuning job card where a live train and validation loss curve draws across a fixed step axis that doubles as the epoch progress bar. It shows the learning rate, elapsed time, ETA and the latest evals and checkpoints, has Pause and Cancel while it runs, and ends in results with a Deploy button.
- [Design to code](https://uiarc.dev/components/design-to-code/markdown): A screenshot-to-code card. You drop a UI screenshot or import a Figma frame, a scan line finds its layout regions, then React and Tailwind stream in beside it, linked region by region, with a working live preview one tab away.
- [AI command](https://uiarc.dev/components/ai-command/markdown): A Cmd+K command palette with an AI mode. Search pages and actions, or press Tab to ask a question: the answer streams inside the palette with numbered sources, and the next steps it suggests, like filing a Linear issue or opening a Notion doc, run straight from the list.
- [Starter prompts](https://uiarc.dev/components/starter-prompts/markdown): A greeting and a grid of starter cards for the empty state of an AI app. The cards are grouped into Write, Code, Analyze and Plan tabs, and a shuffle swaps them with a short staggered crossfade. Picking a card fills the composer, and cards that use a connected app show its mark (Gmail, GitHub, Notion, Linear, Google Calendar).
- [AI mascot](https://uiarc.dev/components/ai-mascot/markdown): A small assistant character, a soft pebble with pill eyes and a companion dot, that shows what the AI is doing. It breathes and glances when idle, leans in to listen, looks up while the dot orbits its head, reads along the line it writes, squints with a sparkle when done and shakes once with worried brows on an error.
- [Image reveal](https://uiarc.dev/components/image-reveal/markdown): An image generation canvas where a soft, blurred preview made from the image's own colors sharpens top to bottom behind a soft-edged band. It works the way ChatGPT, Midjourney and Gemini show images forming, with fine film grain, a translucent progress pill and calm queued and error states.
- [AI spark](https://uiarc.dev/components/ai-spark/markdown): A brand-quality animated spark mark. Four tapered rays and four lighter diagonals breathe at rest, ripple while thinking, pulse like a heartbeat while writing, then gather and settle when done. Every status change blends from the pose the mark is already in.
- [Sketch to image](https://uiarc.dev/components/sketch-to-image/markdown): An image generation visual that paints the way an artist does. Pencil strokes sketch the scene, a round brush blocks in flat colors region by region, grain and warm light refine it, and it resolves into the finished photo, with crossfading stage labels and a thin progress line.
- [Building blocks](https://uiarc.dev/components/building-blocks/markdown): An animated "AI is building your app" visual where rounded blocks for a nav bar, cards, a chart, an avatar row and a button snap into a tiny app layout with no bounce. They land as tinted placeholders, fill with real looking content and pick up the accent in a styling pass, while the label steps from Laying out to Ready.
- [Pixel mascot](https://uiarc.dev/components/pixel-mascot/markdown): A pixel-art robot that shows what an AI assistant is doing. It idles, thinks, types, celebrates and errors in frame-stepped sprite animations, and stays crisp at every integer size from 24px to 192px.
- [Ghost mascot](https://uiarc.dev/components/ghost-mascot/markdown): A floating ghost mascot whose soft sheet ripples at the hem while it hovers. It blinks when idle, turns toward you to listen, fades a little translucent while thinking, draws a tiny pen line while writing, smiles with a sparkle when done and wobbles once on an error.
- [Cube mascot](https://uiarc.dev/components/cube-mascot/markdown): An isometric cube mascot where three shaded faces and a painted-on face show what the assistant is doing. It turns a quarter turn in eased steps while thinking, prints lines onto the floor while writing, settles with a sparkle when done, and shakes once on error.
- [Tone tuner](https://uiarc.dev/components/tone-tuner/markdown): A brand voice card where two sliders (formality and detail) and Friendly, Confident and Empathetic chips rewrite a customer reply. Each changed sentence crossfades in place, new words can be highlighted against the original, and Copy takes the current version.
- [Upgrade prompt](https://uiarc.dev/components/upgrade-prompt/markdown): An upgrade nudge for the moment someone hits a limit. It shows a usage meter at 50 of 50 AI credits, a rolling price with a monthly and yearly toggle, three concrete unlocks with real model marks, and Upgrade or Maybe later. Upgrading leads into a success state with the new limits, and the card never changes size between states.
- [Referral card](https://uiarc.dev/components/referral-card/markdown): A give-and-get referral card where people copy or share their invite link, invite friends by email as chips, and watch invites move from invited to signed up to earned, with the credit total counting up and a milestone reward unlocking.
- [Trial banner](https://uiarc.dev/components/trial-banner/markdown): A trial status banner where a ring counts down the days left, the copy names what the workspace loses, and the upgrade path is one click away. It comes as a slim banner, a sidebar card or a header pill. It shifts to a warning tone in the last days, has expired and upgraded states, and folds into the pill when dismissed or snoozed.
- [Live visitors](https://uiarc.dev/components/live-visitors/markdown): A realtime visitors card where the live count rolls digit by digit, new arrivals ping in on a dotted world map, the top pages reorder with bars, and signups and upgrades tick in with country flags.
- [Social proof toast](https://uiarc.dev/components/social-proof-toast/markdown): A stack of social proof notifications for landing and pricing pages, where recent trials, upgrades and verified purchases from people and companies arrive every few seconds. The stack pauses and fans out on hover, and visitors can dismiss any toast.
- [Install snippet](https://uiarc.dev/components/install-snippet/markdown): A "get started in 30 seconds" card where framework tabs, three numbered steps and highlighted snippets take a developer from install to first event. Generate key wipes a fresh API key into the placeholder in place.

## Guidance for AI tools

Team switcher: A workspace switcher like Linear, Vercel or Slack. The trigger shows the current workspace's logo and plan. The menu has search, your role in each workspace and a Cmd+1 to 9 shortcut for each, and lets you create or join a workspace inline. A highlight glides between rows, and switching crossfades the trigger through a short loading state. Follow the declared prop types and do not invent props. Keep keyboard access, reduced motion support, and both light and dark themes intact when adapting it.
