# Mintlify — Design Reference (measured)

Measured design tokens extracted from `https://www.mintlify.com/` by designskill-extract/3.2.0.
Every value below was observed in the live page (×N = observation count). Values not listed were **not observed** — do not invent them.
This document is `reference_only`: an analysis of a third-party site, not a license to its brand assets.

## Overview

- Extraction mode: **full-render** (viewports 390/768/1440px × light/dark), 1 page(s), 525 observation records.
- Primary action color observed as `#ffffff` (basis: declared, confidence 0.92).
- Dominant font family: **inter** (×980; secondary arizonaFlare ×14).
- Type scale observed at 8 sizes from 12px to 36px.
- Corner radius values in use: 6px, 4px, 12px, 2px….
- Not observed in this extraction: forms, badges.

## Colors

### Role Tokens

Semantic roles inferred from observed usage. `basis` tells how the role was established (declared CSS var > cross-validated > inferred).

| Token | Value | Basis | Confidence | Observed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `{color.primary}` | `#ffffff` | declared | 0.92 | ×334 — --c15t-text-on-primary |
| `{color.background}` | `#f3f7f6` | declared | 0.92 | ×0 — --twoslash-popup-bg |
| `{color.ink}` | `#121715` | cross-validated | 0.93 | ×243 |
| `{color.muted}` | `#969e9b` | inferred | 0.7 | ×30 |
| `{color.surface}` | `#f1f0ee` | inferred | 0.7 | ×25 |
| `{color.accent}` | `#18e299` | inferred | 0.65 | ×23 |

## Accessibility (WCAG Contrast)

| FG | BG | Ratio | AA | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `#121715` | `#faf8f5` | 17.09 | pass | observed ×21 |
| `#485450` | `#faf8f5` | 7.45 | pass | observed ×21 |
| `#121715` | `#fefdfb` | 17.82 | pass | observed ×15 |
| `#ffffff` | `#ef6333` | 3.23 | pass | observed ×9 |
| `#ffffff` | `#004cff` | 6.04 | pass | observed ×9 |
| `#ffffff` | `#ff7a59` | 2.57 | fail | observed ×9 |
| `#ffffff` | `#00a8e0` | 2.74 | fail | observed ×9 |
| `#485450` | `#fefdfb` | 7.77 | pass | observed ×3 |
| `#121715` | `#f3f7f6` | 16.78 | pass | ink_on_background |
| `#ffffff` | `#ffffff` | 1 | fail | white_on_primary |
| `#969e9b` | `#f3f7f6` | 2.54 | fail | muted_on_background |

4 measured pair(s) fail AA — if you reuse those pairs, adjust lightness until the ratio reaches 4.5:1.

## Usage Rules

### Do
- Use `{color.primary}` (`#ffffff`) for primary actions only — that is where it was observed.
- Default text pairing: `{color.ink}` (`#121715`) on `{color.background}` (`#f3f7f6`).
- Set all text in `inter` (fallbacks only for glyph coverage).
- Pick corner radii from the measured set (6px, 4px, 12px, 2px) — no intermediate values were observed.
- Cite this file's token names (`{color.*}`, `{type.*}`) when generating UI so output stays traceable to observations.

### Don't
- Don't invent colors, sizes, shadows, or spacing not listed above — absence means *not observed*, and this document records observations only.
- Don't assume the missing blocks (forms, badges) don't exist on the site — they were simply not captured in this run.
- Don't copy brand assets (logo, wordmark, imagery, copy) — `reference_only` covers measured style values, not brand identity.
