• Buttons should be used consistently throughout Django Spire applications.
• Buttons can be customized with different styles and behaviors.

Button Best Practices

1. Use appropriate button colors for their purpose:

   • Primary: Main actions
   • Secondary: Alternative actions
   • Success: Positive actions
   • Warning: Cautionary actions
   • Danger: Destructive actions

2. Always provide meaningful text labels for accessibility

3. Use icons sparingly and only when they enhance usability

4. Maintain consistent button sizes and spacing throughout the application

5. Test buttons with keyboard navigation and screen readers

6. Use Django's {% url %} template tag for consistent URL generation

Review

• Review the skill to ensure it's properly implemented for Django Spire button usage
• Verify that all button types are documented correctly
• Confirm that examples use partner as the main object as requested
• Ensure the documentation covers both basic and advanced button usage patterns
