When to use Chip Row

Use a chip row for an inline group of small labelled values that share a category — a label prefix (in monospace) followed by a value, rendered as a constrained-height inline-flex element. It reads as metadata, not as an action.

When to use

• Metadata rows on a detail page: status, classification, mode — one chip per fact.
• Compact summaries in a list or table cell where a full field label would take too much horizontal space.

When not to use

• Interactive filters the user can add/remove: build a real filter-chip component with role="checkbox"/role="button" and aria-pressed — chip row is presentational by default, not a control.
• A single standalone value: a chip only earns its keep as part of a row of related facts. One chip alone is just a badge.

Variants

Six semantic variants, chosen by what the value means, not by preference:

Variant	Use for
Default	Generic categorisation — no particular semantic weight
Primary	Primary semantic anchor for the row
Accent	Classification-domain chip (e.g. a taxonomy or category tag)
Neutral	Mode or state chip
Warning	Warning / regulation-attached chip
Success	Verified / pass state chip
