Audit and update all rampa project documentation after code changes. Use when adding features, changing defaults, modifying APIs, or before a release.
Generate mathematically accurate color palettes using OKLCH color space. Use when creating design systems, color ramps, accessible palettes, CSS variables for themes, or when user asks about color generation.
Generate color ramps designed for WCAG-compliant contrast pairing. Creates 11-step scales with predictable foreground/background combinations.
Expand a single brand color into a complete multi-hue color system using harmonies. Creates primary, analogous, complementary, and split-complementary ramps.
Generate distinct, accessible colors for charts, graphs, and data visualizations. Uses color harmonies for maximum perceptual distinction.
Generate success, warning, danger, and info status colors that harmonize with your brand using square harmony. All colors mathematically derived from one input.

The key to maintainable themes is separating palette generation from semantic assignment:

Why this matters: Change --accent-* colors once, and all semantic tokens update. Swap palettes without touching theme code.
A complete editor theme needs:
# Primary accent (your brand color)
rampa -C "<brand-color>" -L 95:15 --size=10 -O css --name=accent
# Neutrals (slightly tinted from brand)
rampa -C "<brand-color>" -L 98:8 -S 3:8 --size=10 -O css --name=neutral
# Syntax colors via triadic harmony (3 distinct hues)
rampa -C "<brand-color>" --add=triadic -L 85:35 -S 80:60 --size=7 -O css --name=syntax
Map palette slots to meaningful roles. This is the abstraction layer that makes themes portable:

Same palette, different semantic mapping. This is why the two-layer system shines:
:root[data-theme="light"] {
/* Invert neutral mapping */
--editor-bg: var(--neutral-0);
--editor-bg-elevated: var(--neutral-1);
--editor-fg: var(--neutral-9);

Terminals use a standard 16-color ANSI palette. Map from your Rampa ramps:
# Generate terminal-optimized colors

Your neutral ramp does 70% of the visual work. Get it right first:
# Dark theme neutrals (rich black, not gray)
rampa -C "<brand-color>" -L 98:8 -S 3:8 --size=10 -O css --name=neutral
10 colors is overkill for syntax. 7 hits the sweet spot:
rampa -C "<brand-color>" --add=triadic -L 80:40 --size=7 -O css --name=syntax
Keep all syntax colors at similar lightness for visual balance:
# Syntax colors with narrow lightness range
rampa -C "<brand-color>" --add=triadic -L 70:55 -S 80:70 --size=5 -O css
Syntax highlighting looks different in practice. Test with:
When colors feel off, regenerate the palette layer:
# Too saturated? Reduce saturation range
rampa -C "#3b82f6" -L 95:15 -S 70:40 --size=10 -O css --name=accent
# Too bright? Narrow lightness ceiling
rampa -C "#3b82f6" -L 85:15 --size=10 -O css --name=accent
Then re-export. Semantic tokens stay unchanged.
# 1. Generate all palettes
rampa -C "#3b82f6" -L 95:15 --size=10 -O css --name=accent
rampa -C "#3b82f6" -L 98:8 -S 3:8 --size=10 -O css --name=neutral
rampa -C "#3b82f6" --add=triadic -L 80:40 -S 80:65 --size=7 -O css --name=syntax
# 2. Combine into single file
