Context Card

An entity preview card (hover card) that appears when the cursor rests on a link or item. Distinct from Tooltip (/design/components/tooltip): a tooltip delivers a short text hint (.term/.tip), whereas a context card is a structured entity preview containing an avatar, name, metadata, description, stats, and an action.

Person & Organization Entities

Person card: initial avatar + name + affiliation + description + stats + profile link. Organization card: icon avatar + name + parent organization + description + stats + team link.

Rules

  • Distinct from Tooltip — a tooltip (.term/.tip) surfaces a 1–2 line hint for unfamiliar terms. A context card is a structured entity preview (person · organization · document) containing an avatar, stats, and an action.
  • Panel radius --r-lg (12px), shadow --sh-full, width 288px.
  • Avatar: circular (--r-pill) + solid primary background (initials) or icon variant (primary 12% tint). Solid primary backgrounds use literal #fff text — preserves contrast in dark mode.
  • Meta link: --c-primary (dark: --c-sky). No underline when context makes the link affordance clear.
  • Action button: primary 10% tint background + primary text. Dark: sky 12% tint + sky text. A solid primary button is too heavy inside a card — use the tint variant.
  • Triggers must communicate interactivity — use a link style or underline to signal that clicking or hovering is possible. Surface the information inline as well (mobile and screen-reader accessibility).
