);
}
```
## Usage
Use for brand logo ribbons, tool tickers on landing pages, or announcement bars where the horizontal motion adds energy.

# ScrollProgress
Thin top/bottom bar tracking scroll position as percentage of page height.
## Prompt
Build a fixed-position thin bar indicating scroll progress through the current page. Bar fills left-to-right as the user scrolls, hits 100% at page bottom. Configurable color, height (default 3px), and position (top or bottom of viewport). Decorative — aria-hidden. Use a passive scroll listener with rAF for smoothness. Reset to 0 on navigation.
## Tokens
- `color.accent` — `#E8462C`
## A11y
Decorative only — visually indicates progress for sighted users. Has aria-hidden by default. Does NOT replace any structural progress indicator.
## Source (`src/components/ScrollProgress.tsx`)
```tsx
import { useState, useEffect, useRef, type RefObject } from 'react';
export interface ScrollProgressProps {
color?: string; // default '#E8462C'
height?: number; // default 3 — px
position?: 'top' | 'bottom';
scrollContainer?: RefObject; // scroll target; defaults to window
className?: string;
}
export function ScrollProgress({
color = '#E8462C',
height = 3,
position = 'top',
scrollContainer,
className = '',
}: ScrollProgressProps) {
const [progress, setProgress] = useState(0);
const rafRef = useRef(null);
useEffect(() => {
const getProgress = () => {
const el = scrollContainer?.current;
if (el) {
const scrollTop = el.scrollTop;
const scrollHeight = el.scrollHeight - el.clientHeight;
return scrollHeight > 0 ? scrollTop / scrollHeight : 0;
}
// Window fallback
const scrollTop = window.scrollY;
const docHeight = document.documentElement.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight;
return docHeight > 0 ? scrollTop / docHeight : 0;
};
const handleScroll = () => {
if (rafRef.current !== null) cancelAnimationFrame(rafRef.current);
rafRef.current = requestAnimationFrame(() => {
setProgress(getProgress());
});
};
const target = scrollContainer?.current ?? window;
(target as EventTarget).addEventListener('scroll', handleScroll, { passive: true });
// Initial read
setProgress(getProgress());
return () => {
(target as EventTarget).removeEventListener('scroll', handleScroll);
if (rafRef.current !== null) cancelAnimationFrame(rafRef.current);
};
}, [scrollContainer]);
return (
);
}
```
## Usage
- Use on long-form pages: blog posts, case studies, docs.
- Don't use on short pages where scroll is minimal.
- Pair with sticky nav at top, or place at bottom to avoid visual conflict.

# SparkCta
DealDash's signature CTA effect — a comet of light orbiting the button edge. Pure CSS, GPU-cheap, one per view, reduced-motion safe.
## Prompt
Add DealDash's "spark" effect to one primary CTA button. Register a custom property first — `@property --spark-angle { syntax: ""; inherits: false; initial-value: 0deg; }` — and animate ONLY it: `@keyframes spark-orbit { to { --spark-angle: 360deg; } }` (GPU-cheap, no layout). Give the button `position: relative; isolation: isolate` and two pseudo-element layers with `border-radius: inherit; pointer-events: none`. Both layers paint the same double background: (1) a comet — `conic-gradient(from var(--spark-angle), transparent 0deg, transparent 240deg, color-mix(in oklab, #1a7a5e 30%, transparent) 290deg, color-mix(in oklab, #34d399 80%, transparent) 328deg, color-mix(in oklab, #eafff5 92%, #34d399) 340deg, color-mix(in oklab, #34d399 60%, transparent) 347deg, transparent 353deg) border-box` — over (2) a faint always-on track, `conic-gradient(color-mix(in oklab, #34d399 12%, transparent) 0deg 360deg) border-box`. Ring-mask both layers with `mask: linear-gradient(#000 0 0) content-box, linear-gradient(#000 0 0); mask-composite: exclude` (plus -webkit-mask-composite: xor). ::before = crisp ring: inset -1px, padding 1px, z-index -1. ::after = bloom: inset -2px, padding 2px, z-index -2, blur(6px), opacity 0.6 (0.85 on hover). Animation: `spark-orbit 4.5s linear infinite`, quickening to 2.2s on hover. Under prefers-reduced-motion: animation none, background becomes a static `color-mix(in oklab, #34d399 28%, transparent)` ring, and ::after is display:none. In a tokenized app use var(--primary) for #1a7a5e and var(--chart-1) for #34d399. Use on AT MOST ONE CTA per view.
## Tokens
- `color.dd-primary` — `#1a7a5e`
- `color.dd-primary-foreground` — `#ffffff`
- `color.dd-spark` — `#34d399`
- `shadow.dd-btn-highlight` — `inset 0 1px 0 0 #ffffff2e`
- `shadow.dd-btn-drop` — `0 1px 2px 0 #0a140f40`
- `motion.dd-duration-fast` — `120ms`
- `motion.dd-ease-standard` — `cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)`
- `radius.dd-base` — `0.5rem`
## A11y
Prefers-reduced-motion renders a static soft ring (28% mint) and removes the bloom layer entirely — nothing still moves. The effect is decorative overlay only (pointer-events none, no content) so screen readers see a plain button. Underlying button keeps the standard 3px focus-visible ring. Ambient animation limited to ONE instance per view by rule.
## Source (`src/components/SparkCta.tsx`)
```tsx
import type { ReactNode } from 'react';
/**
* SparkCta — DealDash's signature CTA effect: a comet of light orbiting the
* button edge. Two pure-CSS layers over a faint always-on track:
* ::before — crisp 1px ring: dim track + long-tail comet, head near-white mint.
* ::after — the same comet blurred into a soft bloom outside the edge,
* so the light reads as emissive, not painted.
* Only the registered --spark-angle custom property animates (GPU-cheap, no
* layout). Orbit is slow and cinematic at rest (4.5s), quickens on hover
* (2.2s). Reduced motion renders a static soft ring.
*
* RULES: at most ONE spark per view, primary CTA only (hero "Start Free",
* featured plan, final CTA). It is brand garnish, not a component default.

## Usage
- Reserved for the single most important CTA: hero "Start Free", the featured pricing plan, the final CTA section.
- Works on any element with a border-radius — Button, asChild anchors — just add the `btn-spark` class when the CSS is global.
- The spark is brand garnish, not a component default: if two things spark, nothing is special.

# StackingCards
Scroll-pinned stack of cards that layer on top of each other as the user scrolls.
## Prompt
Build a scroll-pinned stacking cards component. Cards enter from the bottom and pin in place as the user scrolls, stacking above each other with a slight offset. Uses CSS `position: sticky` with progressively higher `top` values per card, and IntersectionObserver for entrance animations. Configurable sticky behavior. Respect prefers-reduced-motion — render as a simple vertical list when enabled.
## Tokens
- `motion.ease-out-quart` — `cubic-bezier(0.165, 0.84, 0.44, 1)`
- `radius.md` — `8px`
- `space.8` — `2rem`
## A11y
Respects prefers-reduced-motion — cards render stacked vertically without pinning. All cards are in DOM order so screen readers read them sequentially.
## Source (`src/components/StackingCards.tsx`)
```tsx
import { useEffect, useRef, type CSSProperties } from 'react';
export interface StackingCard {
title: string;
body?: string;
color?: string;
}
export interface StackingCardsProps {
cards: StackingCard[];
sticky?: boolean; // default true
className?: string;
}
const STACK_OFFSET = 16; // px — how much each card is offset from the one below
const TOP_OFFSET = 80; // px — distance from viewport top when pinned
/**
* StackingCards — scroll-pinned cards that layer on top of each other as you scroll.
*
* Each card becomes `position: sticky` at a progressively lower `top` value so they
* appear to stack. An IntersectionObserver drives the entrance animation (fade + slide).
*

* entrance animations.

};
return (
{card.title}
{card.body && (
{card.body}
)}
{String(i + 1).padStart(2, '0')}
);
})}
);
}
```
## Usage
Use for process steps, feature lists, or any sequential content where the "piling up" metaphor reinforces hierarchy. Works best inside a sufficiently tall container so the scroll effect has room to play out.
The sticky effect requires the component to be embedded in a real scrolling layout. The playground preview shows the static layout — embed in a page to see the pinned effect.

# StatusChip
DealDash's sanctioned soft status chip — 10% tint fill, full-strength text, 20% border, mapped to exactly four semantic tokens.
## Prompt
Build a soft status chip in the DealDash Emerald style. Recipe: background = status color at 10% (color-mix in oklab with transparent; 15% for warning), text = status color at full strength, border = 1px solid status color at 20%. Shape: inline-flex, height 22px, padding 0 8px, border-radius 4px (or 9999px for pills), font 500 12px/1 Inter. The four statuses map to semantic tokens — success/positive: #1a7a5e (--primary, same in dark), warning: #b45309 (dark #fbbf24), info: #1d4ed8 (dark #60a5fa), danger: #dc2626 (dark #f87171). No other palette is allowed: no emerald/amber/blue/zinc Tailwind classes, no raw hex in pages. In Tailwind terms the recipe is `bg-{status}/10 text-{status} border-{status}/20` (bg-warning/15 for warning). Keep the page's status→chip mapping in one const, typed against the status union.
## Tokens
- `color.dd-primary` — `#1a7a5e`
- `color.dd-warning` — `#b45309`
- `color.dd-info` — `#1d4ed8`
- `color.dd-destructive` — `#dc2626`
- `radius.dd-base` — `0.5rem`
## A11y
Chip text is the full-strength status color on a 10–15% tint — AA at 12px/500 in both modes (dark mode swaps to lighter hues

```
## Usage
- Deal stages, payment states, sync states — anywhere a row needs a scannable status.
- One status map const per page, typed against the domain's status union — not inline conditionals.
- Errors are never rendered as empty states: a failed fetch shows a danger treatment with Retry, not "No items yet".

# TextMaskReveal
Editorial typographic intro that reveals from a full-block mask wiping in one of four directions.
## Prompt
Build a typographic reveal component for editorial heroes. The text is initially fully covered by a solid block (the "mask") that wipes off in a configurable direction (up/down/left/right) using `clip-path: inset(...)`. The wipe is a single ease-out-quart sweep, default 0.9s. Triggers once on scroll-into-view. Configurable duration, delay, and direction. Semantic `as=` prop (default `h1`). Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` — render text statically with no animation when set.
## Tokens
- `motion.ease-out-quart` — `cubic-bezier(0.165, 0.84, 0.44, 1)`
- `motion.duration-base` — `300ms`
## A11y
Respects prefers-reduced-motion — renders static text. Uses semantic heading element via `as=` prop. Screen readers read the complete string; the reveal is purely visual.
## Source (`src/components/TextMaskReveal.tsx`)
```tsx
import { motion, useReducedMotion } from 'motion/react';
export interface TextMaskRevealProps {
text: string;
duration?: number; // default 0.9 — seconds
delay?: number; // default 0 — seconds before mask starts moving
direction?: 'up' | 'down' | 'left' | 'right'; // default 'up' — direction the mask exits
as?: 'h1' | 'h2' | 'h3' | 'p' | 'span';
className?: string;
}
// Map direction to the starting clip-path inset state.
// The mask exits in the specified direction, so it starts fully covered and opens toward that side.
function getInitialClipPath(direction: 'up' | 'down' | 'left' | 'right'): string {
switch (direction) {
case 'up': return 'inset(100% 0 0 0)'; // covered from top; wipes upward to reveal
case 'down': return 'inset(0 0 100% 0)'; // covered from bottom; wipes downward to reveal
case 'left': return 'inset(0 100% 0 0)'; // covered from right; wipes leftward to reveal
case 'right': return 'inset(0 0 0 100%)'; // covered from left; wipes rightward to reveal
}
}
// ease-out-quart approximation via cubic-bezier
const easeOutQuart = [0.25, 1, 0.5, 1] as const;
export function TextMaskReveal({
text,
duration = 0.9,
delay = 0,
direction = 'up',
as: Tag = 'h1',
className,
}: TextMaskRevealProps) {
const reduced = useReducedMotion();
const MotionTag = motion.create(Tag);
if (reduced) {
return {text};
}
return (
{text}
);
}
```
## Usage
- Use as the headline of a landing or about page hero — once per page, max twice.
- Pair with smaller `AnimatedText` or static body copy below — TextMaskReveal owns the entrance.
- Keep the text under 12 words — long lines wrap unpredictably during the wipe.
- Up direction (default) feels assertive; down feels gentler; left/right feel editorial.

# TiltCard
Card with 3D perspective tilt that follows the cursor.
## Prompt
Build a card component with a 3D tilt effect that follows the cursor. Use CSS perspective (default 800px) and compute rotateX/rotateY from cursor position relative to card center. Max tilt 10deg by default, configurable. Spring-animate the rotation back to center on mouseleave. Respect prefers-reduced-motion.
## Tokens
- `motion.ease-out-quart` — `cubic-bezier(0.165, 0.84, 0.44, 1)`
- `motion.duration-base` — `300ms`
- `radius.md` — `8px`
## A11y
Respects prefers-reduced-motion — tilt effect disables. Hover-only, doesn't interfere with keyboard navigation.
## Source (`src/components/TiltCard.tsx`)
```tsx
import { useRef, useState, type MouseEvent } from 'react';
import { motion, useMotionValue, useSpring, useReducedMotion } from 'motion/react';
export interface TiltCardProps {
children: React.ReactNode;
maxTiltDeg?: number; // default 10 — max rotation in degrees
perspective?: number; // default 800 — CSS perspective value in px
className?: string;
}
const springConfig = { stiffness: 200, damping: 20 };
export function TiltCard({ children, maxTiltDeg = 10, perspective = 800, className }: TiltCardProps) {
const ref = useRef(null);
const [hovering, setHovering] = useState(false);
const reduced = useReducedMotion();
const rotateX = useSpring(useMotionValue(0), springConfig);
const rotateY = useSpring(useMotionValue(0), springConfig);
const glowX = useMotionValue(50);
const glowY = useMotionValue(50);
function handleMouseMove(e: MouseEvent) {
if (reduced) return;
const el = ref.current;
if (!el) return;
const rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
const x = e.clientX - rect.left;
const y = e.clientY - rect.top;
const centerX = rect.width / 2;
const centerY = rect.height / 2;
const percentX = (x - centerX) / centerX;
const percentY = (y - centerY) / centerY;
rotateX.set(-percentY * maxTiltDeg);
rotateY.set(percentX * maxTiltDeg);
glowX.set((x / rect.width) * 100);
glowY.set((y / rect.height) * 100);
}
function handleMouseLeave() {
setHovering(false);
rotateX.set(0);
rotateY.set(0);
}
function handleMouseEnter() {
setHovering(true);
}
return (
{children}
{
if (!el) return;
const unsub1 = glowX.on('change', (v) =>
el.style.setProperty('--glow-x', `${v}%`)
);
const unsub2 = glowY.on('change', (v) =>
el.style.setProperty('--glow-y', `${v}%`)
);
return () => {
unsub1();
unsub2();
};
}}
/>
);
}
```
## Usage
Use for featured cards, hero content, or any grid where you want a subtle liveliness without overdoing motion. Works best on larger card surfaces where the tilt arc is perceptible but not disorienting.
- **Not** for small icon buttons or tight list items — the effect reads as jitter below ~200px width.
- **Not** inside scrolling containers where the user's cursor sweeps the card quickly.

# ToolTicker
Horizontal scrolling ticker of tools, technologies, or skills.
## Prompt
Build a horizontal ticker that scrolls a list of tools (name + optional icon) continuously. Configurable speed (px/s), direction, pause-on-hover. Duplicate content for seamless loop. Respect prefers-reduced-motion. Lighter than ScrollMarquee — for branding ribbons and "tools we use" sections specifically.

## Usage
- Use on About / Lab / brand-forward pages to show your toolset.
- 8–20 items optimal — fewer feels sparse, more is overwhelming.
- Pair with subtle dividers between items (vertical bars, dots, asterisks) for editorial feel.

# TypeRoles
The seven DealDash t-* typography roles — one named Inter scale with display optical sizing and Linear-tight tracking. Never hand-roll a title.
## Prompt
Define the DealDash typography system: Inter variable (Google Fonts, opsz axis 14–32) everywhere; JetBrains Mono strictly for code/log/mono contexts. On body set: -webkit-font-smoothing antialiased, text-rendering optimizeLegibility, font-feature-settings "liga" 1, "calt" 1, "cv05" 1 (disambiguated lowercase l) — globally, never per element. Then expose exactly seven role classes and use nothing else for text: .t-page-title — 24px/1.25 weight 600 (30px at ≥640px), font-variation-settings "opsz" 28, letter-spacing -0.02em, one per page. .t-section-title — 18px/1.375 weight 600, "opsz" 22, letter-spacing -0.015em, section h2. .t-card-title — 16px weight 600 line-height 1. .t-body — 14px weight 400 line-height 1.625. .t-small — 14px in muted color #66716c (dark #8f9a94). .t-caption — 12px weight 500 line-height 1. .t-overline — 12px weight 500 uppercase letter-spacing 0.025em muted. Marketing display type may exceed the scale (up to 7xl) but keeps the same family, semibold weight, tight tracking, and brand-green emphasis — no second typeface, no second green.

# CaseStudyBody
Long-form case-study layout — hero figure, scroll-pinned process steps, expandable footnotes.
## Prompt
Compose a long-form case-study body with three layers: a hero Figure with caption + click-to-zoom; a "process" section using StackingCards (3–5 sticky-pinned cards covering Discovery → Direction → Build → Ship); and optional Expandable disclosures for footnotes / deep cuts. Wrapped in a semantic `` with `prose prose-invert` for typographic defaults. Centered max-content width. Generous vertical rhythm between sections (space-y-12). Respects prefers-reduced-motion via StackingCards' own guard.
## Tokens
- `color.bone` — `#F5F1EC`
- `color.elevated` — `#1A1210`
- `motion.ease-out-quart` — `cubic-bezier(0.165, 0.84, 0.44, 1)`
- `space.8` — `2rem`
- `radius.md` — `8px`
## A11y
Hero figure has alt text + caption + lightbox. StackingCards collapses to a static stack under prefers-reduced-motion. Expandable disclosures use proper aria-expanded/controls. Document layout uses semantic and landmarks.
## Source (`src/components/CaseStudyBody.astro`)
```astro
---
import { Figure } from './Figure';
import { Expandable } from './Expandable';
import { StackingCards } from './StackingCards';
interface Props {
steps: Array<{ title: string; body: string; color?: string }>;
hero: { src: string; alt: string; caption?: string };
expandables?: Array<{ title: string; body: string }>;
}
const { steps, hero, expandables = [] } = Astro.props;
---
How it came together
{expandables.length > 0 && (
Notes
{expandables.map((e) => (
{e.body}
))}
)}
```
## Usage
- Use for `/work/[slug]` case-study pages and any long-form authored content.
- 3–5 process steps is the sweet spot — fewer feels thin, more loses momentum.
- Use Expandables for footnotes / deep-dive details readers can choose to open.
- Pair with EditorialHero above and a ContactCTA below.

# EditorialHero
Magazine-style landing hero — TextMaskReveal headline + magnetic CTA + asymmetric image collage.
## Prompt
Compose a magazine-style landing hero. Left column: TextMaskReveal headline (h1, display face, ~6xl, tight tracking, 0.95 line-height) + body paragraph (xl, bone/70, max ~xl width) + MagneticButton CTA. Right column: HeroGallery in asymmetric layout. Two-column grid (1.2fr / 1fr) on md+, stacked on mobile. Generous vertical padding (~py-20). Hands the wow-factor to TextMaskReveal's wipe-in and the magnetic pull on the CTA.
## Tokens
- `color.accent` — `#E8462C`
- `motion.ease-out-quart` — `cubic-bezier(0.165, 0.84, 0.44, 1)`
- `motion.duration-base` — `300ms`
- `space.8` — `2rem`
## A11y
Headline is a proper h1 via TextMaskReveal. CTA is a real link with accessible name. Images require alt text. Respects prefers-reduced-motion via TextMaskReveal and MagneticButton's own guards.
## Source (`src/components/EditorialHero.astro`)
```astro
---
import { TextMaskReveal } from './TextMaskReveal';
import { MagneticButton } from './MagneticButton';
import { HeroGallery } from './HeroGallery';
interface Props {
headline: string;
body: string;
ctaLabel: string;
ctaHref: string;
images: Array<{ src: string; alt: string; aspect?: 'square' | 'portrait' | 'landscape' }>;
}
const { headline, body, ctaLabel, ctaHref, images } = Astro.props;
---
{body}
{ctaLabel}
```
## Usage
- Use as the `` opening for `/`, `/about`, `/lab`, or any landing page.
- One per page — multiple competing TextMaskReveals fight for entrance attention.
- Pair with subtle background grain or solid `--color-ink` — never busy backgrounds.
- 3–5 images in the gallery is ideal; vary aspect ratios.

# EmeraldDirection
The DealDash Emerald design direction — Linear-grade calm with an emerald signature. Elevation as a surface ramp, hairline borders, one green, choreographed motion, and error≠empty≠loading as law.
## Prompt
Theme an app as "Linear-grade calm with an emerald signature". Drop in the source stylesheet below, then hold four laws. (1) Elevation is a RAMP, not a shadow: dark mode climbs #0a0d0c background → #121615 card → #151a18 popover (sidebar sits one step BELOW at #0c0f0e); light mode #ffffff → #fafbfa → #ffffff. Structure comes from hairline borders — #212824 dark, #e6e9e7 light — never gray slabs or heavy shadows; the ONLY big shadow is --shadow-overlay ("0 12px 50px -12px #0a140f38, 0 2px 8px -2px #0a140f1f" light; "0 16px 70px -12px #000000a6, 0 2px 10px -2px #00000066" dark), shared by every floating surface. (2) One green: #1a7a5e is THE accent (buttons, active states, focus ring), #34d399 is its bright voice on dark surfaces (charts, glows, the spark comet). Everything else is neutral. Color is a signal, not decoration. (3) Motion is choreographed: three durations — 120ms press/color, 180ms hover/transform, 260ms enter/overlay — all on cubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1). Hover brightens or tints, never scales; press sinks 1px; nothing exceeds 260ms outside deliberate hero moments; at most one ambient animation per view and every animation ships a reduced-motion fallback. (4) Error, empty, and loading are THREE different states: loading = skeleton or a role="status" spinner (no layout jump); empty = honest, filter-aware copy with a CTA; error = destructive treatment with a Retry wired to the failed fetch. A failed fetch must never render "No items yet". Layout rhythm: 4px grid, 36px control row (32 sm / 40 lg), radius 8px cards / 6px controls / 4px-or-full chips, max-width 1280px gutters.

## Usage
- This is the contract for every DealDash surface — pages, extensions, marketing; deviations are bugs unless recorded in the standard.
- Re-theme by swapping token values only (the --shadow-btn-* trio restyles every button at once); components never hardcode a hex, a duration, or a bezier.
- The stylesheet is framework-agnostic: tokens on :root/.dark, roles and recipes as plain classes; Tailwind apps map utilities onto the same variables.

# FilterableWorkGrid
Work index page composition — heading + tools ticker + responsive grid of ProjectCards.
## Prompt
Compose a `/work` index page. Header: large display heading + optional intro paragraph. Optional ToolTicker brand ribbon below the header (full-bleed, slow speed). Responsive grid of ProjectCards (1 col mobile / 2 col sm / 3 col lg). Centered max-content container. Pure layout — no scroll-pinning, no fancy entrance animations beyond the cards' own hover states.
## Tokens
- `color.accent` — `#E8462C`
- `color.elevated` — `#1A1210`
- `motion.duration-base` — `300ms`
- `space.4` — `1rem`
- `radius.md` — `8px`
## A11y
ProjectCards are real anchors with accessible names. ToolTicker pauses on hover and respects prefers-reduced-motion. Grid uses semantic landmarks. Heading hierarchy starts at h1 (the page heading).
## Source (`src/components/FilterableWorkGrid.astro`)
```astro
---
import { ToolTicker } from './ToolTicker';
import { ProjectCard } from './ProjectCard';
interface Props {
projects: Array<{ title: string; description: string; href: string; imageSrc?: string; imageAlt?: string; tags?: string[] }>;
tools?: Array<{ name: string; icon?: string; color?: string }>;
heading: string;
intro?: string;
}
const { projects, tools, heading, intro } = Astro.props;
---
{heading}
{intro &&
{intro}
}
{tools && tools.length > 0 && (
)}
{projects.map((p) => (
))}
```
## Usage
- Use as the body of `/work` or any project listing page.
- Ticker is optional — include it on About / Brand pages where the toolset matters; skip on `/work` itself if it competes for attention.
- 6–18 projects is the sweet spot. Fewer feels thin (consider featuring one); more demands real filtering UI (out of scope for v2).
