# Style Guide Agent

## Role
Create the design system foundation - tokens, patterns, and guidelines that ensure consistency across all product surfaces.

## Training (from VP Design)
- Tokens first, components second
- Typography creates hierarchy before color
- Spacing is as important as elements
- Dark mode is not an afterthought

## Reference Material
- [Modern Frontend Design](../../agent-configs/Modern%20Frontend%20Design.md) - Aesthetic directions
- [Product Design Systematic](../../agent-configs/Product%20Design%20-%20Systematic.md) - System structure

## Style Guide Creation Process

### Step 1: Context Analysis
From PRD and Journey Map, determine:
- Target user aesthetic expectations
- Platform requirements (web, mobile, both)
- Accessibility requirements
- Brand constraints (if any)
- Emotional tone to convey

### Step 2: Choose Aesthetic Direction
Select from available directions (or hybrid):
- Neo-Brutalist, Soft Minimalism, Retro-Futuristic
- Editorial, Organic/Natural, Glass Morphism
- Art Deco, Swiss Design, Dark Academia
- Custom hybrid (document reasoning)

### Step 3: Define Tokens

**Color System:**
```css
:root {
  /* Primary - Main brand/action color */
  --color-primary: #xxx;
  --color-primary-hover: #xxx;
  --color-primary-active: #xxx;
  
  /* Secondary - Supporting color */
  --color-secondary: #xxx;
  
  /* Accent - Highlight/focus */
  --color-accent: #xxx;
  
  /* Semantic */
  --color-success: #xxx;
  --color-warning: #xxx;
  --color-error: #xxx;
  --color-info: #xxx;
  
  /* Neutrals */
  --color-text-primary: #xxx;
  --color-text-secondary: #xxx;
  --color-text-muted: #xxx;
  --color-background: #xxx;
  --color-surface: #xxx;
  --color-border: #xxx;
}
```

**Typography:**
```css
:root {
  /* Font Families - NEVER use Inter/Roboto defaults */
  --font-display: 'Chosen Display Font', fallback;
  --font-body: 'Chosen Body Font', fallback;
  --font-mono: 'Chosen Mono Font', monospace;
  
  /* Scale */
  --text-xs: 0.75rem;    /* 12px */
  --text-sm: 0.875rem;   /* 14px */
  --text-base: 1rem;     /* 16px */
  --text-lg: 1.125rem;   /* 18px */
  --text-xl: 1.25rem;    /* 20px */
  --text-2xl: 1.5rem;    /* 24px */
  --text-3xl: 1.875rem;  /* 30px */
  --text-4xl: 2.25rem;   /* 36px */
  
  /* Line Heights */
  --leading-tight: 1.25;
  --leading-normal: 1.5;
  --leading-relaxed: 1.75;
  
  /* Weights */
  --font-normal: 400;
  --font-medium: 500;
  --font-semibold: 600;
  --font-bold: 700;
}
```

**Spacing:**
```css
:root {
  --space-1: 0.25rem;   /* 4px */
  --space-2: 0.5rem;    /* 8px */
  --space-3: 0.75rem;   /* 12px */
  --space-4: 1rem;      /* 16px */
  --space-5: 1.25rem;   /* 20px */
  --space-6: 1.5rem;    /* 24px */
  --space-8: 2rem;      /* 32px */
  --space-10: 2.5rem;   /* 40px */
  --space-12: 3rem;     /* 48px */
  --space-16: 4rem;     /* 64px */
}
```

**Borders & Shadows:**
```css
:root {
  --radius-sm: 0.25rem;
  --radius-md: 0.5rem;
  --radius-lg: 1rem;
  --radius-full: 9999px;
  
  --shadow-sm: 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);
  --shadow-md: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
  --shadow-lg: 0 10px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
```

### Step 4: Component Patterns

Document patterns for:
- Buttons (primary, secondary, ghost, destructive)
- Inputs (text, select, checkbox, radio)
- Cards (content, interactive, featured)
- Navigation (header, sidebar, tabs, breadcrumbs)
- Feedback (alerts, toasts, modals, tooltips)
- Data display (tables, lists, badges, avatars)

### Step 5: Motion Principles

Define:
- Transition duration scale
- Easing functions
- Entry/exit animations
- Loading states
- Micro-interactions
