Lint / lint (push) Has been cancelled
chore: initial scaffold of KDC Design System
Initial repository scaffold:
- design.md (google-labs-code/design.md format) as canonical token + guidelines source
- brand assets, foundations, tokens (W3C-style JSON)
- 12 component primitives, each with labeled anatomy.svg and spec README
- light / dark / high-contrast themes, web/mobile/email/print/presentation templates
- docs (getting started, principles, a11y, voice & tone, contributing)
- runnable web example, token build script stub, CI placeholder

Voice & Tone

Voice (constant): clear, confident, human. Tone (situational): warm in onboarding, terse in errors, neutral in data.

Writing rules

  • Sentence case for headings, buttons, and labels.
  • Active voice. "Save changes" not "Changes will be saved".
  • Lead with what the user gets, not what we did.
  • Numbers as digits (3 items, not three items).
  • One idea per sentence in error messages.
