Foundations

The thinking behind UI Foundations — principles, accessibility, and design tokens.

Foundations describe the shared intent behind every component and pattern in the system. They keep decisions consistent across teams, brands, and platforms.

Canonical design foundation knowledge is maintained in the UI Foundations Vault. This repository only documents implementation-specific usage.
