# Pages: Showcase

Guides showcase and gallery pages that display user-generated work, creator content, or "made with [product]" examples. Builds community, social proof, and inspiration. Common for design tools, no-code, and creator-focused products.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Initial Assessment

**Check for project context first:** If `.claude/project-context.md` or `.cursor/project-context.md` exists, read it for product, audience, and UGC sources.

Identify:
1. **Content type**: Designs, sites, videos, templates, campaigns
2. **Source**: Curated, user-submitted, or both
3. **Format**: Grid, masonry, carousel; filter by category
4. **Primary goal**: Inspiration, sign up, community

## Page Structure

| Section | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| **Headline** | "See What Others Built" or "Made with [Product]" |
| **Intro** | Inspire; show what's possible |
| **Gallery** | Grid of items; thumbnail, title, creator, link |
| **Categories** | Filter by type, industry, use case |
| **Submit** | CTA to submit work; link to form or guidelines |
| **Featured** | Highlight top picks; rotate periodically |
