A pill that fills with faces as you assign people, and the list it fills from.
The prompt27,660 characters
Add the "Assignees" component from notboring to my project.
It is licensed for use in my projects — notboring.dev/license. Please:
1. Create the component at a sensible path for this
project, named Assignees, from the source below.
2. Install what it needs: npm i framer-motion lucide-react
3. Add the CSS to the project's stylesheet.
4. THE PART THAT NEEDS YOUR JUDGMENT. The CSS reads
these custom properties and does not define them:
--card
--font-ui
--ink
--ink-rgb
--on-ink
They are notboring's design tokens. Map each one to
whatever this project already uses for the same
job — its own ink, ground, surface and UI font —
rather than defining them as new globals. If the
project has no equivalent, define it locally on
the component's own root so nothing leaks out.
Anything ending -rgb wants three bare numbers,
because the CSS builds rgba() from it.
5. IF YOU CHANGE IT, GO ALL THE WAY. This block is
built for every state its object can really be
in — empty, one, full, refused, undone, pressed
twice, interrupted halfway — and not only the one
the demo opens on. Adapt it and the same standard
holds: work out that list before you write, and
build the whole of it. Never settle for the
minimum that makes the screenshot right. A
component somebody has to come back and finish is
the thing this was written to replace.
6. AVATARS is a stub
— notboring's own pictures are not licensed to
travel. Point it at this project's images, or
leave the placeholder and tell me.
Keep the comments. They say why the numbers are what
they are, and they are most of what makes this worth
copying rather than rewriting.

/* ══ Assignees ════════════════════════════════════════════
A pill that opens a list, and fills up with faces as you
assign them. One, two, four — the pill grows to hold them
and they overlap into a stack rather than a row.
It was going to be called "People picker", which names the
widget rather than the job. What this is FOR is putting
names against a thing — assigning a task, adding
contributors — and the pill is the answer to "who is on
this".
THE PILL IS THE READOUT. There is no count badge and no
"3 selected" caption: the faces themselves say who, which
is the thing a person actually wants back. A number tells
you how many you picked; a stack of faces tells you whether
you picked the right ones. */
