Select / Dropdown

A bracket line followed by a list creates a dropdown. The bracket content is the placeholder label.

Select behavior depends on the option syntax:

Option syntax	Rendered pattern	Use for
- Admin	Plain select	Choosing a value
- [Jira](./jira.md)	Navigation select	App, workspace, project, or page switching
- [Archive]	Action select	Compact action menus in wireframes

Select — Required

Role

- Admin
- Editor
- Viewer

Navigation Select

Use Markdown links for options when the select should navigate. This keeps the component modeled as a select, while each option carries its destination.

Workspace
[Workspace                 v]
- [Acme Inc](./acme.md)
- [Personal](./personal.md)
- [Create workspace](./new-workspace.md)

This pattern is useful for app switchers, workspace switchers, project switchers, and compact page navigation.

Action Select

Use button-style options when the select represents commands rather than values or links. Renderers expose these as action options for prototyping.

Project actions
[Actions                   v]
- [Duplicate]
- [Archive]
- [Delete]
