Getting started
Adopt the projectious.work identity, tokens, and interface rules without guessing.
The design system is a working contract for projectious.work. It combines the brand foundations, writing voice, implementation tokens, interface patterns, accessibility settings, logo rules, and reusable artifacts in one place.
Start with the non-negotiables#
- Write the name as projectious.work, always lowercase.
- Join the practices as Cloud · Agile · Agentic AI, never with an ampersand.
- Use Plus Jakarta Sans for attention, Source Sans 3 for reading, and IBM Plex Mono for code and system output.
- Keep the light application background at
#f8f9fb; white is a raised surface. - Reserve the orange accent for identity and decisions. It is not body text.
- Use semantic foregrounds on their matching tints and a second channel for every status.
- Use no emoji, decorative gradients, rainbow categorisation, or ornamental noise on a brand surface.
- Treat code and tokens as MIT-licensed; treat the name and marks as reserved.
Choose your route#
Write or design
Start with identity, voice, colour, typography, logo, and accessibility.
Build a surface
Use the tokens, components, responsive rules, and implementation patterns.
Use an asset
Download generated tokens, marks, templates, and machine-readable manifests.
Adopt the system in order#
### Read the brand snapshot
Understand the mission, convictions, audience, voice, and the three practice
areas before choosing visual elements.
### Select semantic tokens
Build with roles such as background, surface, foreground, border, status, and
code panel. Raw scale steps exist to implement those roles—not to bypass them.
### Compose a documented pattern
Start from the page shell, marketing surface, agent console, document, slide,
or terminal pattern closest to the job. Change content before inventing chrome.
### Exercise every appearance and setting
Review light, navy dark, and deep dark. Then enable strong focus, link
underlines, 200% text, loose text spacing, reduced motion, reduced transparency,
and high contrast.
### Verify and record provenance
Run the repository checks, inspect the rendered artifact, and record every
third-party asset and licence before publishing.
The current default focus ring is not conforming
New surfaces must set data-focus="strong". The faint compatibility default is
approximately 1.2:1 and does not meet WCAG 2.1 SC 1.4.11.
