## Overview

Primary visual anchor uses #ffdb00 with primary cta surface, 'go shopping' panel background, brand accent, table hover highlight. Typography baseline relies on Noto IKEA for hero display headline, largest editorial statement.

This system uses a 8px base grid with scale values 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 42, 44, 50, 60, 80, 120.

**Signature traits:**
- Core token rhythm: Token evidence indicates consistent color, spacing, and radius rhythm across visible UI.

## Colors

The palette uses 9 validated color tokens across 1 theme profile. Semantic roles stay attached to observed usage so generation agents can choose accents without inventing new color meaning.

**Semantic naming:**
- **action-primary** maps to `ikea-yellow`: Role "primary" is grounded by usage context "Primary CTA surface, 'Go shopping' panel background, brand accent, table hover highlight".
- **surface-background** maps to `off-white`: Role "background" is grounded by usage context "Page body background, card surfaces, breadcrumb background".
- **content-text** maps to `near-black`: Role "text" is grounded by usage context "Primary body text, headings, nav labels, icon fills".
- **action-background** maps to `ikea-blue`: Role "background" is grounded by usage context "Logo mark, links, interactive accents, confirmation actions".

## Typography

Typography uses Noto IKEA across extracted hierarchy roles. Keep hierarchy mapped to these token rows before adding decorative type styles.

Uses Noto IKEA throughout for a uniform feel. Weight range spans bold, regular. Sizes range from 13.33px to 51px.

### Font Roles
- **Headline Font**: Noto IKEA
- **Body Font**: Noto IKEA

## Layout

Responsive system uses 3 breakpoint tier(s): mobile, tablet, desktop.

### Responsive Strategy
- **mobile (400-896px)**: Constrain layout for small viewports and prioritize vertical stacking.
- **tablet (>= 768px)**: Increase spacing and column structure for medium-width viewports.
- **desktop (Unknown)**: Expand layout density and horizontal composition for wide viewports.

### Spacing System
| Token | Value | Px | Notes |
|------|-------|----|-------|
| spacing-1 | 1px | 1 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-2 | 2px | 2 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-3 | 3px | 3 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-6 | 6px | 6 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-8 | 8px | 8 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-10 | 10px | 10 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-12 | 12px | 12 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-16 | 16px | 16 | Mapped to --container-spacing-mobile |
| spacing-18 | 18px | 18 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-20 | 20px | 20 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-24 | 24px | 24 | Mapped to --container-spacing-desktop |
| spacing-28 | 28px | 28 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-42 | 42px | 42 | Extracted spacing token |
| spacing-44 | 44px | 44 | Extracted spacing token |

## Elevation & Depth

Keep depth flat unless validated shadow or interaction evidence appears in the extraction payload. Do not invent shadows beyond this evidence boundary.

### Shadow Evidence
| Shadow Token | Layers | Details |
|--------------|--------|---------|
| n/a | 0 | No validated shadow payload |

### Interaction Signals
| Theme | Signal | Evidence |
|-------|--------|----------|
| Light | outline-color | rgb(17, 17, 17) ; rgb(255, 255, 255) ; rgb(0, 0, 238) |
| Light | outline-width | 3px |
| Light | outline-offset | 0px |
| Light | transform | matrix(-1, 0, 0, -1, 0, 0) ; matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0) ; matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, -80, 0) |

## Shapes

Shape language maps directly to rounded tokens. Keep component corners consistent with the role mapping below before introducing bespoke geometry.

### Radius Roles
| Token | Value | Px | Role Mapping |
|------|-------|----|--------------|
| radius-none | 0px | 0 | Hairline corner |
| radius-content | 2px | 2 | Hairline corner |
| radius-box | 8px | 8 | Control corner |

### Geometry Evidence
| Radius Token | Shape | Units |
|--------------|-------|-------|
| radius-box | 8px | px |
| radius-content | 2px | px |
| radius-none | 0px | px |

## Do's and Don'ts

Guardrails protect Core token rhythm without adding unsupported visual claims.

| Do | Don't |
|----|---------|
| Do maintain consistent spacing using the base grid | Don't make unsupported claims about absent visual features |
| Do maintain WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text) | Don't mix rounded and sharp corners in the same view |
| Do use the primary color only for the single most important action per screen |  |
| Do verify evidence before writing new design-system guidance |  |

## Agent Prompt Guide

### Example Component Prompts
- Create button component using validated primary color role and spacing tokens.
- Create card component with mapped radius role and evidence-backed elevation.
- Create form input component using inferred typography hierarchy and border roles.

### Iteration Guide
1. Start with extracted palette and typography roles only.
2. Map spacing and radius directly from token tables before visual polish.
3. Apply component patterns one section at a time and compare against source intent.
4. Keep elevation claims tied to explicit evidence in output.
5. Iterate with smallest diffs and re-check section hierarchy after each change.
