patterson-docs

Patterson documentation-site package: a VitePress + Diátaxis styled docs UI kit (sidebar nav, content pages, collections) and a browser-openable docs page template.

What this plugin ships

Everything lives under ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/ds/, laid out exactly like the Patterson design-system source tree, so every relative reference inside the files (../../styles.css, ../../assets/brand/…, ../../_ds_bundle.js) resolves without edits.

Scaffolding workflow

1. Copy the snapshot into the user's project, preserving the tree:

   cp -R "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/ds" ./patterson
   

   If the project already has a patterson/ design-system folder from another Patterson plugin, merge instead of duplicating — only add the subfolders that are missing.

2. The working entry point is then patterson/ui_kits/patterson-docs/index.html.

3. Edit CONTENT in place; keep the structure, class names, and token usage intact. Never inline raw hex colors — use the CSS variables.

4. Open the entry file in a browser (or a static server) to preview.

Contents

• ds/ui_kits/patterson-docs/ — full docs-site UI kit (React 18 UMD + Babel): app.jsx, pages1/2.jsx, collections.jsx, data.jsx
• ds/templates/patterson-docs/PattersonDocs.dc.html + support.js — standalone docs page template, opens directly in a browser
• plus ds/styles.css, ds/tokens/, ds/assets/, ds/_ds_bundle.js

Template notes

• The UI kit follows Diátaxis: organize content as tutorials, how-to guides, reference, and explanation; data.jsx holds the nav tree and page registry — edit it first.
• The kit's look mirrors VitePress conventions restyled to Patterson tokens; keep the sidebar/content/aside proportions.
• For a single doc page (not a whole site), use ds/templates/patterson-docs/PattersonDocs.dc.html and edit its content in place.

Patterson brand quick reference

• Colors: Navy #003767 (primary), Sky #00A8E1 (accent, hovers, stats). Secondary blue #147EC2. Tertiary green #7BC24D, teal #00817D, purple #522E91 — data/infographics only, never page chrome. Body gray #58585B, light gray #ECECEC.
• Type: Proxima Nova (licensed; woff2 subset bundled), Figtree as free fallback. Bold navy headlines, tight tracking; cool-gray body at 1.6 leading; big sky-blue stats. UPPERCASE letter-spaced eyebrows.
• Shape: Pill buttons (navy, shifts to sky on hover), 10px card radius, soft navy-tinted shadows, 3px sky focus ring.
• Voice: Confident, warm, plain-spoken. "We" for Patterson, "you" for the customer. Short declarative sentences. Numbers as proof points. Never use emoji.
• Motion: Restrained, 120–320ms, no bounces, no infinite loops.

All of this is encoded as CSS custom properties in ds/tokens/*.css (linked via ds/styles.css). Always style with the --pat-*, --surface-*, --space-*, --fs-*, --shadow-* variables rather than raw hexes.
