How to use modal templates with Kiro
Pick a design
Choose a modal design above and open it to see it live.
Copy the template
Copy the template from its page. It is one HTML file with no dependencies.
Set up Kiro
Save the template and its DESIGN.md in your project, and add a steering file in .kiro/steering that tells Kiro to follow them in every spec.
Prompt, then refine
Paste it and describe your product. Then follow up with: "Add a task to build this section from design/template.html, following DESIGN.md for colours, type and spacing."
What makes a good modal section
Common types: confirm dialogs, upgrade prompts, short forms and command palettes.
One task per modal
Confirm, choose or fill one short form.
Easy to close
A close button, the Escape key and a click outside.
Focus stays inside
Keyboard users can finish without getting lost.
Common mistake: Modals that open on page load and block reading.
Keeping the design in Kiro
Kiro plans each feature as a spec with requirements, a technical design and tasks, so it suits teams who want UI work planned as carefully as the code.
What Kiro builds
Code in your project's stack, built task by task from a Kiro spec.
Where the design goes
Save the template and its DESIGN.md in your project, and add a steering file in .kiro/steering that tells Kiro to follow them in every spec.
Kiro and modal sections
Kiro's spec design.md covers architecture, not looks, so without DESIGN.md the UI falls back to generic choices. Paste the template again with your follow-up prompt if it starts to drift.
What to tell it
Keep the modal size and layout, make Escape and the close button work, and keep focus inside the modal.
Set it up once with our DESIGN.md templates.
Not sure which modal design fits?
Ask Mon, the AI design assistant, describe your product and Mon suggests the modal design and how to prompt Kiro with it.
