Guidelines

Do

  • Treat the repository as both a code surface and a conversation surface.
  • Use black and hairline grids as the base; reserve blue-violet glow for product proof and focus.
  • Pair review, automation, and security state with explicit labels and clear next actions.
  • Keep status understandable in grayscale with text, shape, or icon.

Don't

  • ×Do not copy logos, screenshots, protected marketing passages, or proprietary artwork.
  • ×Do not add taxonomy filler, decorative-only patterns, or dashboard-sized specimens.
  • ×Do not use color as the sole carrier of meaning.
  • ×Do not make the compact element frame depend on a full-page shell.

Imagery

Use original repository frames, review tables, code windows, security progress, and soft radial light as explanatory product proof. Do not reuse GitHub screenshots, logos, mascots, or customer marks.

Layout

Use a black-to-dark hero with centered or split editorial hierarchy, then alternate full-width product proof and compact side-by-side workflow surfaces. Keep the 1200px rail and move to one column below 760px.

Concept

A complete visual language, ready to inspect.

Use the file tree to move between the full reference preview, implementation guidance, portable tokens, and framework-ready styles. Each surface stays focused, so you can understand the system before copying code.
