Chip

A small pill or tag that labels a category, score, or filter — often in a chip bar at the top of a card.

Why this word exists

Long labels eat a card. A chip is a tiny pill that whispers category, score, or filter without a paragraph. Botski uses the everyday snack word on purpose — friendly, not enterprise jargon.

A single chip is one label. A chip-bar is the row of them. Do not invent Hall chips or fake Featured stamps in copy; honesty locks still apply.

Where you will meet it

You will see chips on Directory and workflow cards, and in glossary hub filters once Laser wires categories. Shop notes say chip contrast when white text on a category bar gets hard to read.

Examples

  • A Directory card wears a Guides chip so you know the shelf without opening the writeup.
  • Keep asks to soften a chip color because contrast fails on the category bar.
  • Filtering the glossary by bot.ski shop talk is a chip action, not a deploy.
