Design Filing
Design systems, visual design, UI/UX, motion, typography, and art direction go in
design/.
Resolver Status
This is a resolver companion page. The canonical filing rule lives in Filing Decision Tree. Use Wiki Brain Operating Model first to decide whether the knowledge should become a standalone page, section, ledger row, generated view, redirect, or no durable write. Then use this page as a compact retrieval handle for the local rule. Source: User request, 2026-07-01
File Here
- Component systems, UX patterns, product surfaces, visual references, color, typography, motion, layout, and taste.
- Design-source pages and UI inspiration when they change future design decisions.
- Browser-native visual primitives such as CSS layout, typography, scroll, transition, and theme features when the durable subject is design decision-making rather than implementation syntax.
Do Not File Here
- Code conventions: use
style/. - Implemented product/project context: use
projects/. - Reusable design theory that is not visual-system specific may belong in
concepts/. - General developer tools with no visual-system consequence: use
tools/.
Local Routing
Read Design System Map before creating, merging, or splitting a design article. It owns the current design-family map, no-merge ledger, and page contract. Then use wiki/design/README.md for the human-facing router.
| Subject | Route |
|---|---|
| House UI system, tokens, Reticle/Sigil/design.md | Design System, Design Tokens, Reticle Design System, Sigil Token Architecture, DESIGN.md |
| Component-source choice | Component Library Sources |
| Visual inspiration or reference shelf | Design Inspiration Galleries, Product Site Reference Gallery, Personal Website References, X Bookmarks: Design & UI (Feb–Jun 2026) |
| Browser feature that changes design decisions | CSS/platform primitive pages in wiki/design/ |
| Rendered proof and review | Frontend and Design Skills, design-engineering-polish, Frontend and Design Skills |
Closeout
If this rule changes, update Filing Decision Tree first, then this companion page, relevant directory READMEs, generated packs if routing changed, wiki/_index.md, qmd, and wiki/log.md. Source: Index Logging Protocol, 2026-07-01
