Slug

Carbon's content-summary chip. A short metadata tag shown alongside a primary entity (table row, list item, button) — typically a status count, version, or short identifier. Distinct from Tag (Tag is a categorical label) and Badge (Badge is a status pill).

When to use

  • Short metadata next to a primary entity: row counts, version markers, short identifiers, latency / accuracy stats.
  • AI-generated summaries paired with `AILabel` (variant="ai").
  • Monospace numeric / identifier presentation (tabular-nums by default).

When not to use

  • Categorical labels / filters → use `Tag`.
  • Status pills (success / error / warning) → use `Badge`.
  • Code blocks / commands → use `CodeSnippet`.
