Style Foundations

  • Visual style: modern, minimal, clean, editorial
  • Typography scale: 12/14/16/20/24/32 | Fonts: primary=IBM Plex Serif, display=IBM Plex Serif, mono=JetBrains Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
  • Color palette: primary, secondary | Tokens: primary=#553F83, secondary=#111111, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#553F83, text=#ffffff
  • Spacing scale: 4/8/12/16/24/32

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states

Writing Tone

concise, confident, helpful

Rules: Do

  • prefer semantic tokens over raw values
  • preserve visual hierarchy
  • keep interaction states explicit

Rules: Don't

  • avoid low contrast text
  • avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
  • avoid ambiguous labels

Expected Behavior

  • Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
  • When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
  • Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
  • Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

Guideline Authoring Workflow

  1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
  2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
  3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
  4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
  5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
  6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.
