Design Intelligence

The reasoning layer that evaluates design quality beyond rule compliance.

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

Local implementation usage

In this repository, design intelligence is applied as an implementation review lens for patterns, components, examples, and documentation. Use it to check whether a proposed implementation is appropriate for the system, traceable to existing rules, token-driven, accessible, and reusable.

Before adding or changing a local implementation, ask:

  • Would this decision still make sense if repeated 100 times?
  • Can this be reused? Can this scale?
  • Can this be documented? Can this be automated?
  • Can this become a pattern, token, or guidance?

Long-form critique models, reasoning dimensions, and durable evaluation frameworks live in the vault.
