+# Nav Component
+
+A semantic, accessible navigation component system for building site navigation
+that meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
+
+## Summary
+
+The `Nav` component provides a complete navigation solution using the semantic
+`<nav>` element with three compound sub-components (Nav.List and Nav.Item).
+Built with TypeScript, ref forwarding, and comprehensive accessibility features,
+it's designed for modern React applications following component-driven
+development principles.
+
+**Latest Version:** v1.0.0+
+
+## Features
+
+- 🎯 **Semantic HTML** - Uses native `<nav>` element for proper navigation
+  landmark
+- ♿ **WCAG 2.1 AA Compliant** - Full accessibility with ARIA support and
+  keyboard navigation
+- 🎨 **Flexible Layouts** - Horizontal and vertical navigation patterns
+- ⚡ **Performance Optimized** - React.forwardRef for efficient ref handling
+- 🔧 **Type-Safe** - Comprehensive TypeScript definitions with extensive JSDoc
+- 📦 **Compound Component** - Nav.List and Nav.Item pattern for clean, intuitive
+  API
+- 🎨 **CSS Custom Properties** - Extensive theming via CSS variables (rem units
+  only)
+- 🧪 **Storybook Integration** - Interactive examples and documentation
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- ✅ Semantic `<nav>` element provides navigation landmark role
+- ✅ Supports `aria-label` for multiple navigation regions (WCAG 2.4.8)
+- ✅ Supports `aria-current="page"` for indicating current page
+- ✅ Screen readers announce navigation landmark automatically
+- ✅ Keyboard navigation works naturally with focusable links
+- ✅ Ref forwarding enables programmatic focus management
+- ✅ Proper list structure (ul > li) for screen reader context
+
+**Accessibility Rating:** ✅ A (Excellent) - WCAG 2.1 Level AA
+
+## Components
+
+### Nav
+
+The main navigation container that renders a semantic `<nav>` element.
+
+```tsx
+type NavProps = {
+  /** Child elements (typically Nav.List components) */
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+
+  /** Accessible label for the navigation region (required when multiple nav elements exist) */
+  "aria-label"?: string;
+
+  /** ID of an element that labels this navigation region */
+  "aria-labelledby"?: string;
+
+  /** HTML id attribute */
+  id?: string;
+
+  /** CSS class names */
+  classes?: string;
+
+  /** Inline styles (can include CSS custom properties) */
+  styles?: React.CSSProperties;
+} & Partial<React.ComponentProps<typeof UI>>;
+```
+
+### Nav.List
+
+A list container for grouping navigation items. Renders as an unstyled `<ul>`
+element.
+
+```tsx
+type NavListProps = {
+  /** Child elements (typically Nav.Item components) */
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+
+  /** Display items vertically (block layout) - default: false for horizontal */
+  isBlock?: boolean;
+
+  /** Accessible label for the list (use when multiple lists exist in same Nav) */
+  "aria-label"?: string;
+
+  /** CSS class names */
+  classes?: string;
+
+  /** Inline styles */
+  styles?: React.CSSProperties;
+};
+```
+
+### Nav.Item
+
+Individual navigation item wrapper. Renders as a `<li>` element.
+
+```tsx
+type NavItemProps = {
+  /** Child elements (typically a Link component) */
+  children: React.ReactNode;
+
+  /** HTML id attribute */
+  id?: string;
+
+  /** Inline styles */
+  styles?: React.CSSProperties;
+
+  /** CSS class names */
+  classes?: string;
+};
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Navigation
+
+Simple horizontal navigation menu:
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function Navigation() {
+  return (
+    <Nav>
+      <Nav.List>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/about">About</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/contact">Contact</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Multiple Navigation Regions
+
+When you have multiple `<nav>` elements on the same page, use `aria-label` to
+distinguish them:
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function MultipleNavigation() {
+  return (
+    <>
+      {/* Main navigation */}
+      <Nav aria-label="Main navigation">
+        <Nav.List>
+          <Nav.Item>
+            <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+          </Nav.Item>
+          <Nav.Item>
+            <Link href="/products">Products</Link>
+          </Nav.Item>
+        </Nav.List>
+      </Nav>
+
+      {/* Footer navigation */}
+      <Nav aria-label="Footer navigation">
+        <Nav.List>
+          <Nav.Item>
+            <Link href="/privacy">Privacy Policy</Link>
+          </Nav.Item>
+          <Nav.Item>
+            <Link href="/terms">Terms of Service</Link>
+          </Nav.Item>
+        </Nav.List>
+      </Nav>
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Current Page Indicator
+
+Use `aria-current="page"` on the link to indicate the current page:
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function NavigationWithCurrent() {
+  return (
+    <Nav aria-label="Main navigation">
+      <Nav.List>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/" aria-current="page">
+            Home
+          </Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/about">About</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/contact">Contact</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Vertical Sidebar Navigation
+
+Use the `isBlock` prop for vertical layouts:
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function SidebarNavigation() {
+  return (
+    <Nav aria-label="Sidebar navigation">
+      <Nav.List isBlock>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/dashboard">Dashboard</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/projects">Projects</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/settings">Settings</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Complex Navbar Layout
+
+Multiple lists in a single navbar:
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function Navbar() {
+  return (
+    <Nav classes="navbar" aria-label="Main navigation">
+      <Nav.List aria-label="Primary menu">
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/products">Products</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/about">About</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+
+      <Nav.List aria-label="User menu">
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/login">Login</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/signup">Sign Up</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Navigation with Icons
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+import { SettingsIcon, HelpIcon } from "@fpkit/acss/icons";
+
+function IconNavigation() {
+  return (
+    <Nav aria-label="Settings navigation">
+      <Nav.List>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/settings">
+            <SettingsIcon aria-hidden="true" />
+            Settings
+          </Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/help">
+            <HelpIcon aria-hidden="true" />
+            Help
+          </Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### With Ref Forwarding
+
+Access the navigation element programmatically:
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+import { useRef, useEffect } from "react";
+
+function NavigationWithRef() {
+  const navRef = useRef<HTMLElement>(null);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    // Programmatic access to nav element
+    if (navRef.current) {
+      console.log("Nav height:", navRef.current.offsetHeight);
+    }
+  }, []);
+
+  return (
+    <Nav ref={navRef} aria-label="Main navigation">
+      <Nav.List>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Styling
+
+The component uses SCSS with CSS custom properties for theming. All spacing uses
+**rem units** (16px = 1rem) for accessibility.
+
+### CSS Custom Properties
+
+```css
+nav {
+  /* Display & Layout */
+  --nav-dsp: flex;
+  --nav-direction: row;
+  --nav-w: auto;
+  --nav-align: center;
+  --nav-justify: space-between;
+
+  /* Dimensions */
+  --nav-h: fit-content;
+  --nav-px: 1rem;
+  --nav-py: 0;
+  --nav-mx: 0;
+  --nav-gap: 0;
+
+  /* Appearance */
+  --nav-bg: initial;
+  --nav-fs: 0.9rem;
+  --nav-hov-bg: #e8e8e8;
+
+  /* Focus Indicators (WCAG 2.4.7 - 3:1 contrast minimum) */
+  --nav-focus-color: currentColor;
+  --nav-focus-width: 0.125rem; /* 2px */
+  --nav-focus-offset: 0.125rem; /* 2px */
+  --nav-focus-style: solid;
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Theming
+
+Override default styles with CSS custom properties:
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function ThemedNavigation() {
+  return (
+    <Nav
+      aria-label="Main navigation"
+      styles={{
+        "--nav-bg": "#1a1a1a",
+        "--nav-h": "4rem",
+        "--nav-px": "2rem",
+        "--nav-gap": "1rem",
+        "--nav-fs": "1rem",
+      }}
+    >
+      <Nav.List>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Custom Focus Indicators
+
+Customize focus styles for keyboard navigation (WCAG 2.4.7):
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function AccessibleNavigation() {
+  return (
+    <Nav
+      aria-label="Main navigation"
+      styles={{
+        "--nav-focus-color": "#0066CC",
+        "--nav-focus-width": "0.1875rem", // 3px for higher visibility
+        "--nav-focus-offset": "0.25rem",
+      }}
+    >
+      <Nav.List>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/about">About</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Available CSS Custom Properties

+
+### Custom Classes
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function CustomClassNavigation() {
+  return (
+    <Nav classes="navbar sticky-top">
+      <Nav.List classes="primary-nav">
+        <Nav.Item classes="nav-item-featured">
+          <Link href="/special">Special Offer</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Accessibility
+
+#### Use aria-label for Multiple Navigation Regions
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Multiple nav elements with labels
+<Nav aria-label="Main navigation">...</Nav>
+<Nav aria-label="Footer navigation">...</Nav>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Multiple nav elements without labels
+<Nav>...</Nav>
+<Nav>...</Nav>
+```
+
+#### Indicate Current Page
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Uses aria-current
+<Link href="/about" aria-current="page">About</Link>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Uses only visual styling
+<Link href="/about" className="active">About</Link>
+```
+
+#### Descriptive Link Text
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Descriptive link text
+<Nav.Item>
+  <Link href="/products">View Products</Link>
+</Nav.Item>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Generic link text
+<Nav.Item>
+  <Link href="/products">Click here</Link>
+</Nav.Item>
+```
+
+#### Sufficient Color Contrast
+
+Ensure link colors meet WCAG 2.1 contrast requirements:
+
+- **Normal text**: 4.5:1 contrast ratio
+- **Large text**: 3:1 contrast ratio
+- **Focus indicators**: 3:1 contrast ratio
+
+### Structure
+
+#### Use Proper Component Hierarchy
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Complete structure
+<Nav>
+  <Nav.List>
+    <Nav.Item><Link href="/">Home</Link></Nav.Item>
+  </Nav.List>
+</Nav>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Missing proper structure
+<Nav>
+  <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+  <Link href="/about">About</Link>
+</Nav>
+```
+
+#### Don't Use Generic Labels
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Descriptive label
+<Nav aria-label="Main navigation">...</Nav>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Generic label
+<Nav aria-label="Navigation">...</Nav>
+```
+
+### Styling
+
+#### Use rem Units for Accessibility
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - rem scales with user font size preferences
+<Nav styles={{ '--nav-gap': '1rem' }}>...</Nav>
+
+// ❌ BAD - px ignores user preferences
+<Nav styles={{ '--nav-gap': '16px' }}>...</Nav>
+```
+
+#### Don't Use Divs for Interactive Elements
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ GOOD - Semantic links
+<Nav.Item>
+  <Link href="/page">Navigation Item</Link>
+</Nav.Item>
+
+// ❌ BAD - Non-semantic elements
+<Nav.Item>
+  <div onClick={handleClick}>Navigation Item</div>
+</Nav.Item>
+```
+
+## Keyboard Navigation
+
+The Nav component supports full keyboard navigation:
+
+- **Tab** - Move to next focusable element (links)
+- **Shift + Tab** - Move to previous focusable element
+- **Enter** - Activate link
+- **Space** - Activate link (when link has focus)
+
+## TypeScript
+
+Full TypeScript support with comprehensive type definitions:
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, NavProps, NavListProps, NavItemProps } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+// Custom navigation component
+interface CustomNavProps extends NavProps {
+  variant?: "primary" | "secondary";
+}
+
+const CustomNav: React.FC<CustomNavProps> = ({ variant, ...props }) => {
+  return <Nav {...props} classes={`custom-nav custom-nav--${variant}`} />;
+};
+```
+
+### Import Types
+
+```tsx
+import type { NavProps, NavListProps, NavItemProps } from "@fpkit/acss";
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Responsive Navigation
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function ResponsiveNavigation() {
+  return (
+    <Nav
+      classes="navbar"
+      aria-label="Main navigation"
+      styles={{
+        "--nav-direction": "row",
+        "@media (max-width: 768px)": {
+          "--nav-direction": "column",
+        },
+      }}
+    >
+      <Nav.List>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Sticky Navigation
+
+```css
+.navbar-sticky {
+  position: sticky;
+  top: 0;
+  z-index: 100;
+}
+```
+
+```tsx
+<Nav classes="navbar-sticky" aria-label="Main navigation">
+  <Nav.List>
+    <Nav.Item>
+      <Link href="/">Home</Link>
+    </Nav.Item>
+  </Nav.List>
+</Nav>
+```
+
+### Navigation with Brand Logo
+
+```tsx
+import { Nav, Link } from "@fpkit/acss";
+
+function BrandNavigation() {
+  return (
+    <Nav classes="navbar" aria-label="Main navigation">
+      <Nav.List>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/">
+            <img src="/logo.svg" alt="Company Name" />
+          </Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+
+      <Nav.List aria-label="Primary menu">
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/products">Products</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+        <Nav.Item>
+          <Link href="/about">About</Link>
+        </Nav.Item>
+      </Nav.List>
+    </Nav>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance
+
+The Nav component meets the following success criteria:
+
+- **✅ 1.3.1 Info and Relationships** - Uses semantic HTML (`<nav>`, `<ul>`,
+  `<li>`)
+- **✅ 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks** - Navigation landmark enables skip links
+- **✅ 2.4.8 Location** - Supports `aria-label` for multiple navigation regions
+- **✅ 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value** - Semantic elements provide proper roles
+- **✅ 4.1.3 Status Messages** - Supports `aria-current` for current page
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### Component Architecture
+
+- **Functional Components** with `React.forwardRef` for Nav, NavList, and
+  NavItem
+- **Type-Safe** with extracted TypeScript definitions in `nav.types.ts`
+- **Accessible** by leveraging semantic HTML navigation and list elements
+- **Composable** via UI component for polymorphic flexibility
+- **Compound Component Pattern** - `Nav.List` and `Nav.Item` for intuitive API
+
+### Browser Support
+
+Works in all modern browsers supporting:
+
+- React 18+
+- CSS Custom Properties
+- CSS Flexbox
+- Semantic HTML5 (`<nav>` element)
+
