Design system

The tokens, components and patterns this workspace is built from. Every preview is live, every component documents its states, and every interaction works from the keyboard.

Principles

Four rules that decide most visual questions before they come up.

  • Quiet by default

    A white sheet on a grey desk, hairline borders instead of shadows, and color only where it carries meaning: brand for focus and selection, status colors for state.

  • Dense, not cramped

    13px interface text, 40px rows that drop to 32px in compact density, tabular numerals for anything that lines up in a column.

  • Tokens all the way down

    Components never reference raw values. Every color flows primitive → semantic → utility → component, so a theme is one block of variables.

  • Accessible by construction

    Radix primitives for focus and keyboard behaviour, contrast-checked color pairs, visible focus rings and motion that respects the reduced-motion setting.

Token architecture

Pick a token to trace it from its raw palette value to the components that use it. Switch the theme to see which layer changes.

  1. 1

    Primitive

    iris-600#6246eaDark theme uses iris-400
  2. 2

    Semantic

    --brand

    Defined in :root and .dark. The only layer that changes with the theme.

  3. 3

    Utility

    bg-brand, text-brand, ring-ring

    Aliased once in @theme inline, so one class works in both themes.

  4. 4

How pages are built

Every component page follows the same five-part anatomy, so you always know where to look.

  1. 1PlaygroundLive preview with prop controls and the JSX that produces it.
  2. 2StatesDefault, hover, focus, loading, disabled, error and success side by side.
  3. 3PatternsWorking compositions from real product screens.
  4. 4APIProps, types and defaults.
  5. 5AccessibilityKeyboard map and the ARIA decisions behind it.

All components

Foundations first, then components. Each page is a live document, not a screenshot.
