The documents
The system
start.md
The official way in, written for the agent: the whole setup journey as one followable document — also served raw at /start.md.
DESIGN.md
The constitution: the two vocabularies, the token rules, the ambient layer contract, and every governance decision in the log.
README.md
What ambientui is, the two ways to take it, and how the repo proves its own claims before printing them.
Working rules
CLAUDE.md
The rules the AI works under: tokens only, sanctioned components only, and what counts as a governance event.
Motion spec
The global motion contract for porting — roles, characters, and the arrival choreography.
Ambient shell spec
The complete behavior contract for porting the assistant's shell: every mode, gesture and transition it must honour.
Figma sync
Code → Figma, variables only, code wins on conflict — the procedure and the drift check.
