Pattern Library

Creates a pattern library where one can develop features in isolation, separate from the site's live pages.

Features:

• Patterns: Add patterns under "Patterns" in the admin menu, and group them with the optional "Types" taxonomy.
• Archive: Visit /all-the-things/ to see a live thumbnail grid of every pattern, optionally grouped by type.
• Quick‑Jump Menu: Open a menu from any page with cmd+p, type words or press up to filter, then press enter to visit the selected pattern.
• Shortcode: Use [thing id="123"] or [thing slug="post-slug"] to output a post's content (such as a synced pattern) anywhere.
• Template Friendly: Patterns use your theme's page templates, so they look like they do on the live site.
• Safe by Default: Via AQUA_PATTERNS_ALLOWED_SERVERS, only localhost or hand-picked servers can access the patterns or see the menu.
