Overview

This documentation covers the complete design system foundation, component library, and implementation guidelines for building consistent, accessible user interfaces.

Quick Start

Design System

Design Philosophy

Grayscale First

Every design starts with pure neutral grays. Color is applied strategically and sparingly for maximum impact.

Mathematical Precision

All values follow mathematical relationships using OKLCH color space for consistent visual progression.

Accessibility First

WCAG AA compliant by design with minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratios and comprehensive keyboard navigation.

System Status

• Color System Complete - OKLCH-based palette with semantic tokens
• Typography Scale Validated - Three-tier hierarchy with 1.25 ratio
• Spacing System Locked - 8px base unit with consistent scale
• Accessibility Compliant - WCAG 2.1 AA across all components
• Component Library Active - Core UI components ready for use
• Documentation In Progress - Expanding guides and examples

Key Features

Design Tokens

Centralized design decisions as reusable values for consistency across all platforms and frameworks.

Component Library

Pre-built, tested components that implement our design principles with accessibility built-in.

Developer Tools

Comprehensive tooling for development, testing, and maintaining design system compliance.

Documentation

Living documentation with interactive examples, API references, and implementation guides.
