## Project Overview
|
|
|
|
### Vision
|
|
|
|
Create a world-class design system documentation that:
|
|
|
|
- Follows Pareto principle (80% coverage with 20% content)
|
|
- Includes AI-specific code generation guidelines
|
|
- Provides interactive, copy-paste examples
|
|
- Has multiple learning paths (Speedrun → Comprehensive Mastery)
|
|
- Maintains perfect internal coherence and link integrity
|
|
|
|
### Key Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Pareto-Efficiency** - 80/20 rule applied throughout
|
|
2. **AI-Optimized** - Dedicated guidelines for AI code generation
|
|
3. **Interconnected** - All docs cross-reference each other
|
|
4. **Comprehensive** - Every pattern has examples and anti-patterns
|
|
5. **State-of-the-Art** - Top-notch content quality
|

|
## Key Decisions Made
|
|
|
|
1. **Documentation Structure**
|
|
- Decided to create subfolder `docs/design-system/` instead of root-level files
|
|
- Numbered files for clear progression (00-99)
|
|
- Separate AI guidelines document (08-ai-guidelines.md)
|
|
- Quick reference as 99-reference.md (bookmark destination)
|
|
|
|
2. **Learning Paths**
|
|
- Created 6 different learning paths for different user needs
|
|
- Speedrun (5 min) → Comprehensive Mastery (1 hour)
|
|
- Specialized paths for component development, layouts, forms, AI setup
|
|
|
|
3. **Content Philosophy**
|
|
- Pareto principle: 80% coverage with 20% content
|
|
- 5 essential layouts cover 80% of needs
|
|
- Decision trees for common questions
|
|
- Before/after examples showing anti-patterns
|
|
|
|
4. **AI Optimization**
|
|
- Dedicated 08-ai-guidelines.md with strict rules
|
|
- ALWAYS/NEVER sections for clarity
|
|
- Component templates for AI code generation
|
|
- Integration instructions for Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot
|
|
|
|
5. **Link Strategy**
|
|
- Internal doc links: Relative paths (`./02-components.md`)
|
|
- Demo page links: Absolute routes (`/dev/components`)
|
|
- Anchor links for specific sections (`#color-system-oklch`)
|
|
- All links verified during review
|
|
|

## Lessons Learned
|
|
|
|
1. **Ultrathink Required**
|
|
- Initial plan needed refinement after user feedback
|
|
- Comprehensive review caught issues early
|
|
|
|
2. **Time Estimates Removed**
|
|
- User preference: No time estimates in section headers
|
|
- Focus on content quality over reading speed
|
|
|
|
3. **Link Verification Critical**
|
|
- Agent review caught broken cross-references
|
|
- Incomplete imports in examples
|
|
- Fixed before Phase 2 begins
|
|
|
|
4. **Documentation Coherence**
|
|
- Cross-referencing between docs creates cohesive system
|
|
- Multiple entry points (learning paths) serve different needs
|
|
- Quick reference (99-reference.md) serves as bookmark destination
|
