## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| A short label above a heading that names its category | `heading.kicker` (this page) |
| The heading itself | [`heading.section`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/heading/section.md) |
| A label above a heading (rather than [`heading.side`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/heading/side.md)) | `heading.kicker` (this page) |
| A label above a page or section heading (rather than [`text.term`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/text/term.md)) | `heading.kicker` (this page) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.
