← THE BUILD SYSTEMCUIFMARE
THE UI ENGINE
Core UI Frameworks & Registry Extensions
The registry of interface parts the studio reaches for before it draws a component by hand.
DRAWN BY THE HOUSE
One mark per engine, on one grid, in one hand.

USED
THIS BUILD
3 shadcn pulls recorded: magicui grid-pattern, border-beam, blur-fade.
THE PROOF LEDGER →WHAT
What it is
Twenty component sources, primitives and utilities: shadcn micro-registries (MagicUI, Aceternity, Cult, Origin, Kokonut, HyperUI), Ariakit, Radix Icons, Headless UI, TanStack Table and Query, clsx, tailwind-merge, Lucide and react-dropzone. The registry is the market of parts; the engine is how they get into a build.
WHY
Why it exists
Pages are won or lost on component craft. Premium sources already exist, and a hand-rolled card is usually a worse card. CUIFMARE makes the good source the first stop instead of the last.
HOW
How it runs
`engctl install cuifmare --dir <project>` wires the selected parts into the build: npm installs where a package exists, `npx shadcn add` for registry components, with undeclared dependencies surfaced rather than assumed. Every pull is recorded.
WHEN
When it runs
Any page, section or component build. Before a component is written from scratch, the registry is searched.
WHO
Who owns it
CEO owns the component bar; Research watches the registries; Build does the copy-in and theming; Data keeps the usage ledger; Ops closes one component at a time.
TOOLS
The registry
The engine manifest is the source of truth. These are its entries, including the ones that are not used on this build — the proof ledger says which is which.
@magicui/react
registryPremium animated components designed for high-conversion landing pages.
@aceternity/ui
registryBold, highly-animated components — moving borders, aurora backgrounds, spotlight cards.
Clean, accessible, raw Tailwind components for rapid layout scaffolding — copy-paste, zero dependencies.
@radix-ui/react-icons
npmHighly optimized primitive icons that match primitive headless behaviors.
@ariakit/react
npmFully unstyled, highly accessible components for custom design systems.
@heroui/react
npmComponent primitives (upstream of legacy @nextui-org/react)
@saas-ui/react
npmAdvanced component library for dashboards and SaaS builds.
Next-gen layout blocks optimized for modern, minimalist web applications.
@origin-ui/react
registryAdvanced micro-interactions — copy-paste friendly, state-driven UI elements.
@cult-ui/react
registryAvant-garde, brutalist, and modern kinetic components for creative landing experiences.
@tanstack/react-table
npmHeadless data organization — grids, sorting, filtering, virtualization.
@tanstack/react-query
npmPersistent client-state caching for async data layers.
@radix-ui/react-slot
npmasChild element-forwarding primitive for unified component APIs.
@headlessui/react
npmUnstyled logic templates from the Tailwind engineering team.
clsx
npmClean conditional class-string composition.
tailwind-merge
npmEliminates conflicting Tailwind utility overrides in composed components.
@vanilla-extract/css
npmType-safe, zero-runtime CSS-in-JS.
styled-jsx
npmScoped, isolated style modules for component nodes (Next.js native).
lucide-react
npmConsistently structured community vector icon set.
react-dropzone
npmResponsive file-ingestion dropzone components.
20 registry entries. The proof ledger on the Gantry page says which of them this build actually used.
RUN
Run it
ENGCTL / THE ENGINE FLOOR
$ engctl show cuifmare$ engctl awaken cuifmare$ engctl install cuifmare --dir ./site`engctl` is the registry control surface. `awaken` checks wiring before it activates a cell; `install` writes the parts into a project.
PROOF
On this build
3 shadcn pulls recorded: magicui grid-pattern, border-beam, blur-fade.
N/A and PARTIAL are stated, not hidden. The ledger is generated from this project, not from a template.
LIMITS
What this does not claim
The count is a registry count, not a claim that every part shipped. The proof ledger above names the pulls this build actually made.
The engine is the how. The brief is the start.
