The pattern with a real reason behind it.

Design decisions need provenance — "why does the button work this way?" Indago indexes the canonical design-systems library, the live CSS of any URL, the NN/g and Smashing literature, and your own components — so a decision carries a citation, not a Figma screenshot.

II · What's included

Tailwind, Material, Apple HIG — plus your spec.

Pair with Code for component-level cross-references, Research for HCI literature.

  • Two generic source fetchersdesign.articles · design.systems
  • URL ingest for any pattern pageindago_learn — Tailwind, Material, Apple HIG, shadcn, Radix, Primer, Carbon, Chakra, Ant, NN/g, Smashing, web.dev — ingest per URL on demand
  • Live CSS / token extractorany URL · variable map · type ramp · contrast pass
  • Accessibility-gap · contrast-violation · token-driftscan · anomaly.design.contrast-violation · anomaly.research.token-drift (runs across design-system docs)

Sources of record · 2 generic fetchers + URL ingestdesign.articlesdesign.systemsURL ingest (any system)

This bundle is deliberately small in its dedicated plugin set — design systems change shape too often for first-class plugins per vendor. The right tool is URL ingest on demand, then your own corpus.

II.5 · Sample workflows

Real workflows. Real numbers.

Three workflows shaped for this bundle. Where the box reads Verified, the numbers come from a real run logged in this codebase. Where it reads Pending validation, the workflow shape is implemented and we are still gathering the headline numbers before we publish them.

Workflow 01 Pending validation

Live CSS / token extractor

Design systems
  1. InputA URL + your in-house design specs.
  2. MethodLive page fetch + CSS-variable extraction + cross-reference to in-house spec.
  3. OutputSigned token file (variables + type ramp) and a gap list against the in-house spec.
Token map Extractor runs against the live site already — pending a verified studio adoption case before publishing.
Workflow 02 Pending validation

WCAG contrast audit

Accessibility leads
  1. InputSite URL or a Figma export.
  2. Methodanomaly.design.contrast-violation scan against WCAG 1.4.3 + URL-ingested Apple HIG / Material reference pages.
  3. OutputPer-style contrast pass/fail with the cited WCAG reference.
A11y gate Pending a real audit on a customer surface for headline numbers.
Workflow 03 Pending validation

Pattern provenance lookup

Product designers
  1. InputA natural-language question ("why is this button on the right?").
  2. MethodStructural rank over NN/g + Apple HIG + Material + Smashing + your spec.
  3. OutputCited answer with primary-source references.
Citation-grade Demoable on cached design data — pending a verified design-team study.

Verified workflows are reproducible against the index hash listed in each run. Pending workflows are a written commitment, not a customer quote — we publish numbers only when we have measured them.
