principles

A short, memorable name for the principle (e.g., 'Functional first', 'Accessible by default', 'Use the scale', 'Density over decoration'). Should be concise enough to serve as a heading or reference label.

What this principle means and how it guides decisions. Explain the belief or constraint in concrete terms, not just restate the title. Good descriptions answer: 'What does this look like in practice?' and 'How would I use this to resolve a disagreement?'
