# Usage guidelines

> Implementation rules for Tahoe-consistent product and documentation interfaces.

## Layout and readability

* Keep hierarchy shallow and predictable.
* Use clear section titles and short procedural blocks.
* Place prerequisites before action steps.

## Color behavior

* Use Tahoe blue for primary intent and navigation emphasis.
* Reserve green for success, yellow for warning, red for error.
* Keep neutral surfaces low contrast to let status colors stand out.

## Surfaces

* Use translucent cards with blur for layered panels.
* Avoid fully opaque heavy blocks in execution-heavy screens.
* Keep borders subtle but visible in both light and dark modes.

## Motion

* Use short transitions for state changes.
* Avoid decorative animation in operational workflows.

## Accessibility baseline

* Maintain readable contrast in light and dark modes.
* Keep keyboard focus visible on actionable elements.
* Label destructive and security-sensitive actions explicitly.

## Engineering alignment

* Keep business logic in Rust (`src-tauri/src`).
* Keep TypeScript focused on UI behavior and state.
* Remove dead code and stale docs references before release.
