# Raycast — Design Reference (measured)

Measured design tokens extracted from `https://www.raycast.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), 920 observation records.
- Primary action color observed as `#ff6363` (basis: cross-validated, confidence 0.74).
- Dominant font family: **Inter** (×2360; secondary SF Pro Text ×301).
- Type scale observed at 8 sizes from 12px to 32px.
- Corner radius values in use: 11px, 8px, 12px, 6px….
- Not observed in this extraction: nav, 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}` | `#ff6363` | cross-validated | 0.74 | ×37 |
| `{color.background}` | `#ffffff` | declared | 0.92 | ×2411 — --reverse-background |
| `{color.ink}` | `#434345` | cross-validated | 0.93 | ×302 |
| `{color.muted}` | `#9c9c9d` | inferred | 0.7 | ×566 |
| `{color.surface}` | `#e6e6e6` | inferred | 0.7 | ×28 |
| `{color.accent}` | `#070d4f` | inferred | 0.58 | ×7 |

5 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}` (`#ff6363`) for primary actions only — that is where it was observed.
- Default text pairing: `{color.ink}` (`#434345`) on `{color.background}` (`#ffffff`).
- Set all text in `Inter` (fallbacks only for glyph coverage).
- Pick corner radii from the measured set (11px, 8px, 12px, 6px) — 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 (nav, 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.
- Treat `{color.accent}` with caution — confidence below 0.6.
