npx shadcn@latest add @lopifi/theme @lopifi/command-paletteThe component, rendering
Real data, the shipped component. Switch the theme to check the claims the spec makes below.
The four-layer spec
Zero animation. Opens instantly. Used hundreds of times a day — this is the canonical Tier 0 component and the clearest demonstration of the frequency law.
Money-aware search: typing 1240 finds transactions with that amount; typing >1000 filters by magnitude; typing a date range parses it. Grouped results, recents first, full keyboard navigation.
Lifted verbatim from System & states. The doc and this page are the same paragraphs, so they cannot disagree.

The accounting it encodes
Concepts this component renders. Each one is defined once, in the lexicon, and used identically in the code and the copy.
Also in System & states
- EmptyStateThree variants. Always one next action.
- ErrorStateWith the financial reassurance sentence.
- SkeletonStructural, per-component.
- StaleIndicatorLast-synced + retry.
- ToastSonner, configured to our tokens.
- SheetVaul, configured. The mobile primary overlay.
- HoldToConfirmIrreversible actions, with accessible fallbacks.
- DensityTogglePersisted, synced, phone-clamped.

Elsewhere in the system
Where CommandPalette sits in the rest of the system — the live section it renders in, the calculators that compute what it displays, and the ledger payloads it is fed from.
Components are copied into your repository and meant to be edited — rounding policy, fiscal calendar and compliance copy differ per company.
Told when System & states changes
Components are copied into your repo, so a fix here does not reach you on its own. One email when a component in this family changes in a way that needs a migration — and nothing when it does not.
