### `pick_component` (~166 tokens)

Pick a shadcn-format component

Given a plain-language description of a UI need, finds the best-matching component across the indexed shadcn-format registries (react-bits, magicui, aceternity, kokonutui, animate-ui, motion-primitives, shadcn-dashboard, assistant-ui, bundui). Returns one of three outcomes: confident (one clear winner), shortlist (several strong candidates with the differentiating dimension named), or no_match (nothing fits, closest candidates shown but marked rejected). Never a forced best guess.

Input parameters:

- `brief` (string, required): Plain-language description of the component needed, any language
- `maxResults` (integer): Max candidates to return for a shortlist or no_match outcome (default 3)
- `registry` (string): Restrict the search to one registry
