# Parlo

**Parlo** is a design system; what it is for is not recorded yet (Q-scope-01).

- **For:** people who use it often, as an everyday app
- **Screens:** something people explore and enjoy
- **Runs on:** ios
- **Feel:** playful, bold, cheerful (playful, bold, friendly; picked for you)
- **Brand color:** Your brand color (#CC3B22) is on the buttons exactly, with white text that reads clearly on it. In dark mode, buttons use a lighter shade of it (#E4543A), so their dark text reads clearly.
- **Decided:** 1 answer you gave, 5 picked for you; everything else uses sourced defaults
- **Standards:** 339 house standards followed (locked, house standards v2); see the Standards section
- **Next:** zoom into Colors, Typography, Layout, or stop here: each level works
- **Licence risks:** none found

> Generated by the OpenDesigner engine 1.0.0 from `opendesigner/state.json` and `opendesigner/decisions.md`; `opendesigner/tokens/` is the source of truth. Change the system with `engine.py set ...` and `engine.py build`, not by editing this file (notes inside `<!-- od:keep -->` blocks survive). Each section opens with one plain sentence; open **More** for the designer and engineer detail.

## Overview

> Zoom: broad (1 of 3), 7 decisions in this area. To zoom in, answer Q-scope-02, Q-scope-05, Q-brand-02.
<!-- od:zoom area=overview level=1 -->

**Parlo feels playful, bold and friendly. Screens are comfortable, in a bold, blocky style.**
Designers: visual style: flat, tonal, glass · Code: `preset in state.json`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Your answers here** (each one either sets tokens or is a rule for this section):
- Which overall look fits: flat, tonal, glass, neo-brutalist, soft, or bold and busy? **Neo-brutalist** (delegated; tokens; Q-dir-01)
- What are these screens mostly for: selling, getting work done, reading, or enjoying an experience? **Experience** (delegated; tokens; Q-scope-06)

**Intent.** A design system generated from eight dials and a few raw inputs.

- Audience: people who use it often, as an everyday app
- The memorable thing: not recorded yet (Q-brand-02)
- Surfaces: something people explore and enjoy
- Platforms: ios; inputs: pointer, touch
- Direction: preset neobrutal; feel playful, bold, friendly (words picked for you: playful, bold, cheerful)

**Principles (ranked).**
No principles recorded yet (Q-brand-07). Until they are, the dials act as the tie-breakers below.

**Dial positions.** Three posture dials set the overall stance. Five character dials fine-tune it.

- **Expression 40/100** (productive to expressive: leaning productive): type ratio 1.25, hero moments: significant-moments, expressive motion: significant-moments, brand color role: accent+signature-surface, containment: mixed.
- **Brand presence 40/100** (native to brand-led: leaning native): typeface suggestion: open-neutral-face, brand color placement: accent+signature-surface, native component share about 84%, voice guidance: short.
- **Density 45/100** (spacious to compact: balanced): body 16px on the web, default control 40px, density mode comfortable, icons 20px; hit areas never shrink.
- **Energy 35/100** (calm to energetic: leaning calm): standard easing [0.77, 0, 0.175, 1], duration multiplier 0.94, spring damping 1.0, heading weight 650, navigation: neutral.
- **Roundness 55/100** (sharp to soft: balanced): control radius 8, icon corners default, caps round.
- **Depth 15/100** (flat to deep: flat): depth model: borders.
- **Colorfulness 30/100** (monochrome to vivid: monochrome): scheme neutral, accent chroma 76.4 (HCT), 1 accent(s), surfaces: neutral+one-accent.
- **Warmth 35/100** (cool/formal to warm/friendly: leaning cool/formal): neutral tint chroma 0.016 at hue 264, borders: default, sentence-case, contractions allowed.

| Color | One accent color: your brand color `#CC3B22` (exactly) marks buttons, links and focus. Everything else stays neutral. Keep the accent to small areas, about 15% of a screen at most (a rule of thumb, DC-L15-03). | brand color; colorfulness 30/100 |
| Shape | Buttons and fields have 8px corners; cards have 12px corners. Cards and buttons cast hard, solid shadows, like stickers. | roundness 55/100, depth 15/100 |

**One accent color: your brand color `#CC3B22` (exactly) marks buttons, links and focus.** Everything else stays neutral.
Designers: primary or brand accent · Code: `color.bg.accent`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** Brand color `#CC3B22` drives the accent ramp's hue; the Colorfulness dial (30) sets its chroma (scheme neutral, peak HCT chroma 76.37). The brand's role is **accent+signature-surface** and it sits closest to accent step 9. Your brand color #CC3B22 is on the buttons exactly (white text on it reads at 4.98:1). In dark mode, buttons use #E4543A, a lighter shade of it, because the dark text on dark-mode buttons would read at only 3.67:1 on the exact color.

**How ramps are built.** Each hue gets twelve steps in OKLCH, placed by contrast. Step 8 reaches at least 3:1 (edges and focus). Steps 10 and 11 reach the text minimum on backgrounds 1-4. Step 12 reaches at least 7:1. Steps 2-6 are spaced evenly in lightness between step 1 and step 7. Light and dark ramps are solved separately. Dark solids are lighter and carry dark text (dark mode is a separate mapping, never an inversion). Text minimum: 4.5:1 (WCAG 2.2 AA).

| Ramp | Light steps 1-12 | Solid carries |
|---|---|---|
| `accent` | `#fffcfb` `#fff1ef` `#ffe6e1` `#ffdbd3` `#ffd0c6` `#ffc4b8` `#ffb8aa` `#d16753` `#cc3b22` `#b9331c` `#a22d19` `#592319` | light |

**Step-distance guarantee** (neutral, light; WCAG contrast of a foreground step on background steps 1-5):

| Foreground | on 1 | on 2 | on 3 | on 4 | on 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| neutral 8 | 3.55 | 3.28 | 3.05 | 2.81 | 2.58 |
| neutral 9 | 4.49 | 4.15 | 3.85 | 3.55 | 3.26 |

| neutral 11 | 7.12 | 6.58 | 6.11 | 5.64 | 5.18 |
| neutral 12 | 15.27 | 14.11 | 13.11 | 12.08 | 11.10 |

**States.** Hover is at least 1.15:1 from its fill and pressed at least 1.3:1, as shade steps (DC-L01-17). Where a color is unknown at design time, use the state opacities in `opacity.state.*`.

| Fill | Base | Hover | Pressed |

| `color.text.warning` | `#845d00` | `#fecf7f` | Warning text and icons; pair with an icon or label (DC-L01-15). |

**Use / avoid.**
- Use one solid accent fill per view for the primary action; spend chroma on small, meaningful elements.
- Avoid gray text on colored fills; use the matching `text.on-*` role.
- Avoid color as the only signal: pair status colors with an icon or label.
- Charts: no chart palette yet (Q-color-19). Take chart colors from the status and accent hues, and check them separately.

**Tailwind classes:** `bg-action-primary`, `hover:bg-action-primary-hover`, `active:bg-action-primary-pressed`, `text-on-action`, `bg-surface-base`, `bg-surface-raised`, `text-fg-primary`, `text-fg-secondary`, `text-fg-link`, `border-line-subtle`, `border-line-input`, `outline-line-focus`, `bg-danger-bold`.

## Typography

> Zoom: sketch (0 of 3), 3 decisions in this area. To zoom in, answer Q-type-01.
<!-- od:zoom area=typography level=0 -->

**Body text is 17px, and each larger size is about 1.25 times the one below.**
Designers: type scale: base size and ratio · Code: `font.size.14`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** Body text is 17px; sizes follow `round(17 x 1.25^n)` for n from -2 to 8, reaching about 5.5x body (marketing surfaces in scope). Sizes: 14, 17, 21, 27, 42, 52, 81, 101px.

- Text face: IBM Plex Sans, system-ui, -apple-system, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, Arial, sans-serif. Licence status (hook H-type): **pending**.
- Licence by platform: text: IBM Plex Sans (open licence or system font: web, apps and self-hosting); display: Spectral: licensed for web, apps, self-hosting.
- On iOS the Swift file uses Dynamic Type text styles (body 17 pt), so text follows the person's text size setting; Compose uses sp, which follows the Android font scale.
- Weights: body 400, label 500, heading 650 (two or three distinct weights per view).
- Emphasized variants: off (they turn on at Expression 67 and up, DC-L02-11).
- Line heights snap to a 4px grid: 1.5 up to 17px, 1.4 to 26px, 1.25 to 44px, 1.12 above.
- Letter spacing: +0.02em at 11-12px, -0.01em from 32px, -0.02em from 48px.
- Text scaling: CSS sizes are rem, line heights unitless, so text scales to 200% (WCAG 1.4.4); containers must grow with it.
- Scripts: Latin only; add scripts in raw.scripts to get per-script line heights (DC-L02-25).

| `text.title.lg` | 27/32 | 650 | 0em | Card, panel and group titles. |
| `text.title.md` | 21/28 | 650 | 0em | Card, panel and group titles. |
| `text.title.sm` | 17/24 | 650 | 0em | Table headers, field-group titles. |

**Use / avoid.**
- Use at most three sizes and two weights in one view; let color and weight carry hierarchy before size.
- Avoid all caps for sentences and in scripts without case; use weight for emphasis there.

**Tailwind classes:** `text-body-md`, `text-label-lg`, `text-title-md`.

## Layout

> Zoom: sketch (0 of 3), 1 decision in this area. To zoom in, answer Q-space-01, Q-space-02, Q-space-03.
<!-- od:zoom area=layout level=0 -->

**Spacing comes in steps of 4px, and screens use comfortable spacing by default.**
Designers: spacing scale, 0 to 96 · Code: `space.0 to space.96`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** Everything sits on a 4px unit: ladder 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, 80, 96. Density is a mode on the semantic layer (default **comfortable**). Primitives and minimum tap areas never change.

| Density | inset xs/sm/md/lg/xl | section sm/md/lg | control sm/md/lg | row sm/md/lg/two-line | outer:inner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| spacious | 6 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 32 | 64 / 80 / 96 | 40 / 48 / 56 | 52 / 56 / 64 / 80 | 3.5 |
| comfortable (default) | 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 24 | 32 / 40 / 64 | 32 / 40 / 48 | 44 / 48 / 56 / 72 | 2.5 |
| compact | 2 / 6 / 8 / 12 / 20 | 16 / 24 / 40 | 24 / 32 / 40 | 36 / 40 / 48 / 64 | 2.0 |

- Target sizes: pointer 24px, touch 44px; `size.target.min` is the floor for the primary input, and `space.target.gap` separates adjacent targets.
- Inner gaps stay below outer gaps (at least half), so grouping reads without borders (L15 P16).
- Breakpoints and grid: not generated yet; use the platform defaults and keep layout spacing independent of density (DC-L03-17).

**Use / avoid.**
- Parents own spacing (padding and gap); children never set outer margins.
- Avoid values off the ladder; if one is needed, add it as a decision.

Decisions: D-0039 (dials.density).

## Elevation & Depth

> Zoom: sketch (0 of 3), 1 decision in this area. To zoom in, answer Q-depth-01.
<!-- od:zoom area=elevation level=0 -->

**Cards and buttons cast hard, solid shadows, like stickers.**
Designers: flat, shadowed, tonal or glass · Code: `$extensions.opendesigner.model`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** The preset neobrutal look builds the **offset** model. Offset shadows are solid, in the text color, so dark mode uses the light text color.

| Token | Layers (x y blur spread) | Use |
|---|---|---|
| `elevation.raised` | 4 4 0 0 | Cards that lift on hover, sticky headers, dragged rows. |
| `elevation.floating` | 6 6 0 0 | Menus, popovers, dropdowns. |
| `elevation.overlay` | 8 8 0 0 | Dialogs and sheets (with color.overlay.scrim). |
| `elevation.pressed` | 2 2 0 0 | Pressed controls: the element moves into its shadow |

- Borders: 3px default, the thick outlines of the style, drawn in `color.text.primary`; 4px selected and emphasis. Solid outlines go against house standard STD-visual-details-14 (a should), kept because the style asks for them. Keep the focus ring (`color.border.focus`, 2px offset) visibly different from the outline.
- Stacking: page < raised < floating (menus) < overlay (dialogs with `color.overlay.scrim`).
- No materials or glass in this system.
- Press: move the element 2px down and right (`transform: translate(2px, 2px)`) and switch to `elevation.pressed`.

Decisions: D-0036 (dials.depth).

</details>

## Shapes

> Zoom: sketch (0 of 3), 1 decision in this area. To zoom in, answer Q-shape-01.
<!-- od:zoom area=shape level=0 -->

**Buttons and fields have 8px corners; cards have 12px corners.**
Designers: corner radius, sharp to pill · Code: `radius.control, CSS border-radius`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** Roundness 55/100 gives controls a **8** radius; details 4px, containers 12px, overlays 16px, people full. Controls under 32px tall use `radius.control-sm` (6).

- Nested radius: inner = max(outer - padding, smallest step). Here it is 2px inside a container with `space.inset.lg` padding. Equal radii on nested shapes look uneven (DC-L04-05).
- Focus ring: 2px, 2px offset, radius = control radius + offset (10).
- Icons: default corners, round caps. On iOS, use continuous corners (DC-L04-04).
- Signature shapes: none generated; a brand shape library is a designer asset (hook H-motif).

Decisions: D-0035 (dials.roundness).

</details>

## Components

> Zoom: sketch (0 of 3), 0 decisions in this area. To zoom in, answer Q-comp-01, Q-comp-02, Q-state-01.
<!-- od:zoom area=components level=0 -->

**Version 1 plans 25 components, all built from these tokens.**
Designers: core set of about 25 components · Code: `button.* (proposed), APG pattern`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** v1 components use the semantic tokens only. Base: not chosen yet (Q-comp-01). Buttons are 40px tall (comfortable), 8 radius, `text.label.lg`; one primary action per view.

**Contested policies:** Validation timing and disabled submit: pending; Field style: pending; Toasts: pending; Undo versus confirm: pending; Danger actions: pending; Button emphasis levels: pending.

**Use / avoid.**
- Every interactive component shows hover, pressed, focus-visible and disabled states from the tokens.
- Inputs keep a 3:1 boundary (`color.border.input`); signifier strength: balanced.
- Component docs belong in `opendesigner/components/<name>.md` (spec 7.8).

## Do's and Don'ts

**These rules keep screens clear and easy to read.** The engine checks the ones it can.
Designers: guardrails and design linting · Code: `engine.py validate, engine.py review`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Enforced by construction.** The generator cannot break these:
- text contrast 4.5:1, and 3:1 for edges, in every mode
- text on colored fills picked automatically
- tap areas pointer 24px, touch 44px
- a 2px focus ring with a 2px offset
- a reduced-motion mode
- inner spacing smaller than outer spacing, three text colors, and nested radii

**Do**
- Use semantic tokens; never raw hex, px or ms values in components.
- Keep one primary action per view and at most three type sizes per view.
- Pair every status color with an icon or label; underline links in running text.

**Don't**
- Don't shrink hit areas in dense layouts; shrink visuals and extend the hit area.
- Don't use motion as the only signal, or flash more than three times a second.
- Don't copy another brand's identity from a reference (colors, typeface, logo, imagery, copy).

**Current validation findings:** warn: 15 text sizes; 8 to 10 is the usual range

**Waivers:** none.

</details>

## Standards

**Follow these rules when you build.** They come from sources marked non-negotiable, their values are locked, and `engine.py review` checks the ones it can.

House standards v2: 339 rules followed in this project.

**Don't break these:**

## Motion

> Zoom: sketch (0 of 3), 1 decision in this area. To zoom in, answer Q-motion-01.
<!-- od:zoom area=motion level=0 -->

**Most movements take 200ms.** They turn into fades when a person asks for less motion.
Designers: motion system: duration, easing, springs · Code: `motion.duration.*, motion.easing.*`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** Energy 35/100: the duration multiplier x0.94 scales the extra step (standards fix medium, long). Standard easing `cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)`, enter `cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)`, exit `cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)`. Spatial spring: damping 1.0, stiffness 246.7 (Apple duration 0.4s, bounce 0.0; web `linear()` sample over 590ms).

| Token | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| `motion.duration.instant` | 0ms | set by house standard STD-when-to-animate-05 |
| `motion.duration.micro` | 100ms | set by house standard STD-easing-duration-07 |
| `motion.duration.short` | 150ms | set by house standard STD-easing-duration-07 |
| `motion.duration.medium` | 200ms | set by house standard STD-easing-duration-07 |
| `motion.duration.long` | 250ms | set by house standard STD-easing-duration-07 |
| `motion.duration.extra` | 660ms | illustrative and marketing motion only, never UI (STD-easing-duration-06) |
| `motion.duration.medium-exit` | 160ms | derived: about 0.8 x medium |
| `motion.duration.long-exit` | 200ms | derived: about 0.8 x long |
| `motion.duration.reduced-fade` | 200ms | set by house standard STD-accessibility-motion-02 |
| `motion.duration.stagger` | 50ms | set by house standard STD-enter-exit-origin-13 |

- Exits are derived, not set on their own: each is about 20% shorter than the entrance in force (medium-exit 160ms from medium 200ms, long-exit 200ms from long 250ms; STD-easing-duration-11). Change an entrance and its exit follows. Linear easing only for spinners and progress.
- Reduced motion (`prefers-reduced-motion` or `data-motion="reduced"`): travel becomes opacity, feedback stays, `motion.transition.move` is 0ms.
- Springs are stored as damping and stiffness in `$extensions.opendesigner.spring` because DTCG 2025.10 has no spring type.
- Haptics: medium intensity where the platform has them; sound: hook H-sound is pending.

## Modes and Themes

> Zoom: sketch (0 of 3), 0 decisions in this area. To zoom in, answer Q-theme-01, Q-theme-03.
<!-- od:zoom area=modes level=0 -->

**The system has light and dark color modes, three spacing densities and a reduced-motion mode.**
Designers: modes: light, dark, density, motion · Code: `resolver modifiers, Figma collection modes`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** Modes live in the DTCG resolver (`opendesigner/tokens/opendesigner.resolver.json`); modifiers are orthogonal, so no two set the same token.

| Modifier | Contexts | Default |
|---|---|---|
| theme | light, dark | light |
| density | spacious, comfortable, compact | comfortable |
| motion | standard, reduced | standard |

- Web: `prefers-color-scheme` with a `[data-theme]` override; `[data-density]`; `prefers-reduced-motion` with `[data-motion]` (see `opendesigner/build/css/tokens.css`).
- High-contrast themes are not generated; set `raw.contrastTarget` to AAA for 7:1 text everywhere.
- A second brand or a client re-skin may override the color primitives and `color.bg.brand`; semantic names never change.

**Icons are 20px by default.** The logo, photos and custom icons come from a person, not from the engine.
Designers: icon system: style, sizes, color · Code: `size.icon.*, icon.stroke.*, color.icon.*`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Intent.** Default icon size 20px; sizes 16/20/24 pair with 14/16/20px text. Stroke follows the label weight: 1.5px at 16, 2.0px at 20, 2.5px at 24. Rest style: outline.

| Asset | Hook | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Logo and marks | H-logo | pending |
| Favicon set | H-favicon | pending |
| App icon | H-appicon | pending |
| Custom icons | H-icons | pending |
| Illustration | H-illus | pending |
| Photography | H-photo | pending |
| Motifs and brand shapes | H-motif | pending |

- Placeholders are labelled as placeholders. A generated stand-in is never shown as a finished brand asset.
- Icon-only buttons need an accessible name and a hit area of `size.target.min`.

<!-- od:zoom area=accessibility level=0 -->

**Text passes WCAG 2.2 AA contrast in every mode, and focus is always visible.**
Designers: WCAG 2.2 AA target · Code: `raw.contrastTarget`

<details><summary>More</summary>

**Your answers here** (each one either sets tokens or is a rule for this section):
- Who uses it, and how often: all day for work, often, or now and then on the go? **Often, in an everyday app** (delegated; tokens; Q-aud-01)

**Intent.** Standard: WCAG 2.2 AA. APCA is reported as advice only.

**The system guarantees:**
- text and edge contrast in every mode
- visible focus (2px ring, 2px offset, 3:1)
- minimum target sizes for each kind of input
- a reduced-motion mode
- rem-based type, so text scales to 200%
- text on colored fills chosen automatically

**Product teams own:** accessible names and labels, alt text, reading and focus order, and never using color alone. Also: clear error messages, dialogs that can be closed, no pre-checked consent boxes, and captions for media.

**Test on each platform:**
- keyboard only
- a screen reader (VoiceOver, NVDA or TalkBack)
- 200% zoom
- forced colors (Windows High Contrast)
- reduced motion
- touch on a phone, for every surface that allows touch

**Intent.** Platforms: ios. Inputs: pointer, touch. Brand presence 40: each platform keeps its own shapes and materials: yes; each platform keeps its own body text size: yes.

- Navigation, back, sheets and pickers stay native on every platform (DC-L10-02).
- Swift and Compose files in `opendesigner/build/` use the same names as the CSS variables (Figma code syntax matches them).
- Fonts by platform: text: IBM Plex Sans (open licence or system font: web, apps and self-hosting); display: Spectral: licensed for web, apps, self-hosting.

## For Agents

**AI agents: read this file and the tokens before you change any screen.**

1. Before any visual work, read this file, PRODUCT.md and `opendesigner/tokens/` (start at `opendesigner/tokens/opendesigner.resolver.json`).
2. Use tokens, never raw values: CSS `var(--ds-...)`, Tailwind classes from `opendesigner/build/tailwind/theme.css`, `DS.*` in Swift. In Compose: colors from `LocalDsColors.current` (provide `DsLightColors` or `DsDarkColors`), then `DsSpace`, `DsType` and `DsMotion`.
3. Do not change a locked decision without asking the owner. Keep new screens inside the taste card at the top of the Overview, and never add anything on its Never list without asking.
4. To change the system: `engine.py set <path> <value> --why "..."`, then `engine.py generate`, `engine.py validate`, `engine.py design-md`.
5. To extend: add a decision (never hand-edit tokens or this file). Keep semantic names the same across modes. Deprecate instead of deleting.
6. After any implementation, run `engine.py review` and re-read this file.
7. Follow the Standards section. Change a standard only when the person explicitly asks: `engine.py standard override <id> --why "<their words>"`.

**Tailwind v4 classes** (one import: `@import "tailwindcss"; @import "<path>/opendesigner/build/tailwind/theme.css";`; Tailwind's default colors, text sizes, radii and shadows are switched off, so only these exist):

| Area | Classes |
|---|---|
| Color | `bg-action-primary`, `hover:bg-action-primary-hover`, `active:bg-action-primary-pressed`, `text-on-action`, `bg-surface-base`, `bg-surface-raised`, `text-fg-primary`, `text-fg-secondary`, `text-fg-link`, `border-line-subtle`, `border-line-input`, `outline-line-focus`, `bg-danger-bold` |
| Layout | `p-inset-md`, `gap-stack-md`, `gap-inline-sm`, `h-control-md`, `size-icon-md`, `min-h-target-min` |
| Shape | `rounded-control`, `rounded-container`, `rounded-overlay`, `rounded-full` |
| Elevation | `shadow-raised`, `shadow-floating`, `shadow-overlay` |
| Type | `text-body-md`, `text-label-lg`, `text-title-md` |
| Motion | `transition-feedback`, `ease-enter`, `ease-exit`, `ease-hover` |
