Are the ai2 Styled hover card free?

Yes. The whole styled layer is free and MIT licensed, like the component core.

Can I change the size?

Yes. Every variation takes a size prop of sm, md, lg or xl, aligned to the base Button height scale.

Styled hover card

Five hover cards: a profile, glass, a preview, stats and media. Each is self-contained (no radix), sized, token-driven, and opens on hover or keyboard focus.

Manual installs skip the @ai2/tokens theme, so add the token CSS from the theming guide or the tone colors will be missing.

Variations

5 takes on the same idea. Each is its own export, and every one accepts a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button scale.

Profile

An avatar with a name, bio and follow button.

Glass

A frosted glass card with a blurred backdrop.

Preview

A title with a couple of lines of preview text.

Stats

A small row of token stat blocks.

Media

A token media block on top with a caption below.

ai2 Styled hover card: 5 styled variations on the token system

The ai2 Styled hover card are a set of 5 decorative button variations from the styled layer of the @ai2 design system, built around cards that open on hover. They are free and MIT licensed, and every color comes from a semantic token, so they theme with the rest of ai2 in light and dark.

Motion runs on framer-motion: the cards fade and rise on token CSS transitions when the trigger is hovered or focused. The styled layer is opt-in, so the dependency only lands if you use it; the base components stay lean. Under reduced motion, the transitions are disabled and the card appears instantly.

What is in the ai2 Styled hover card?

5 exports in one file: Profile, Glass, Preview, Stats and Media. Each renders a native button and takes a size prop (sm, md, lg, xl) aligned to the base Button. They are separate from the base Button on purpose: the base keeps its clean variant, tone and size axes, while the styled layer carries the effects.

You own the file. Copy the one category file and you have all 5 variations, with no runtime dependency on ai2 itself.

Why use it

On-system by construction: Every color resolves to an ai2 semantic token, so the buttons follow your theme in light and dark with no extra work.
Effect without the sprawl: The decorations live in a dedicated styled file, so the base Button keeps its clean, predictable API.
Accessible and honest: Each renders a real button element, keeps a visible focus ring, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Features

Token-driven color: No hardcoded hex or oklch; the look recolors with your theme tokens.
framer-motion: the cards fade and rise on token CSS transitions when the trigger is hovered or focused.
Reduced-motion aware: Under prefers-reduced-motion, the transitions are disabled and the card appears instantly.
Size aligned to the base: Every variation takes sm, md, lg and xl matching the base Button height scale, so styled and base buttons line up in a row.

Production tips

Use it for emphasis, not everywhere: Styled buttons draw the eye. Reserve them for the one action you want people to take on a screen, and use the base Button for the rest.
Keep labels as verbs: The decoration adds weight, so a clear action label keeps the button scannable.
Pick one variation per surface: The variations share a family; using two different ones in the same view competes for attention.

Works with the rest of ai2

The Styled hover card sit alongside the base Button and the rest of the @ai2 registry. They share the same token file, so a styled action next to a base button or a badge stays visually consistent in both modes.
