+# Overview
+
+Live Tokens is a design system for building Svelte microsites quickly. You
+style your site by editing tokens and components in a live editor. When it looks right, you save the manifest and ship it.
+
+## How it works
+
+- The editor runs in your dev server, on top of your real pages. You style in
+  context, not in a separate sandbox.
+- Every change updates a CSS variable, so the page repaints instantly. No
+  reload, no build step.
+- Saving writes a small JSON file into your project. Shipping bakes your chosen
+  theme into a plain CSS file that the build bundles.
+- The editor is dev-only. Production ships plain CSS variables and the
+  components you used, nothing else.
+
+## What you can edit
+
+- **Tokens**: the design-system primitives, colour palettes, type, spacing,
+  radius, shadow, and gradients, that apply across your whole site.
+- **Components**: the package ships about 25 editable components (Button, Card,
+  Dialog, Table, and more).You style components by changing the tokens assigned to each property.
+
+## Where to go next
+
+- **[Getting started](getting-started.md)**: scaffold a project and make your
+  first edit.
+- **[Editing tokens](editing-tokens.md)**: a tour of the editor.
+- **[Themes](themes-workflow.md)**: save, switch, and ship.
+- **[Creating components](creating-components.md)**: make your own components
+  editable.

+# Creating components
+
+The package ships about 25 editable components. When you need one it doesn't
+have, you can make your own Svelte component editable, so anyone using the
+editor can re-point its colours, type, and spacing without touching code.
+
+The simplest way is to ask Claude. The package bundles a Claude Code skill that
+knows the conventions, writes the files, and checks the result for you.
+
+## Install the skills
+
+```bash
+npx @motion-proto/live-tokens setup-claude
+```
+
+This copies the bundled skills into your project's `.claude/skills/`. Once
+they're there, Claude Code picks them up automatically.
+
+## Ask for a component
+
+Describe what you want in plain English. Phrases like these trigger the skill:
+
+- "Add a Toggle component to live-tokens"
+- "Make this Svelte component editable in the live-tokens editor"
+- "Create a Stat component with a value and a label"
+
+Claude asks any clarifying questions it needs (which variants, which states,
+which parts), then writes the component, registers it with the editor, and runs
+its verification checklist. When it finishes, open `/components` to see your new
+component in the editor and confirm everything works.
+
+## What you get
+
+- A runtime component whose editable properties default to your theme tokens.
+- An editor entry that appears under **Custom** in the `/components` view.
+- The naming and wiring handled for you, so the component fits the system.
+
+Advanced authors who want to write a component by hand can read the naming and
+state-model conventions shipped in the package
+(`src/system/styles/CONVENTIONS.md` and the skill's own `SKILL.md`).

+# Editing tokens
+
+A tour of the editor. The page behind it repaints on every change; saving
+writes a theme file you can reload later.
+
+The editor has two views:
+
+- **Tokens**: the design-system primitives (colour, type, spacing, and so on).
+  They apply everywhere your site uses them.
+- **Components**: per-component editors. Re-Assign what tokens a component uses
+  without changing the underlying system.
+
+This page covers **Tokens**. For components, see
+[Creating components](creating-components.md).
+
+## Palettes
+
+Most colour work happens here. Each palette (Brand, Accent, Neutral, Canvas,
+Success, Warning, Info, Danger, and a few more) has:
+
+- **Base colour.** Pick a hex; the palette derives an 11-step ramp (100 to 950)
+  from it.
+- **Curves.** Two curves shape how lightness and saturation fall off across the
+  ramp. Drag the handles to bias it darker, lighter, or more saturated.
+- **Overrides.** Lock a single step to a hand-picked hex when the curve doesn't
+  land where you want.
+
+Editing a palette base ripples through every colour that depends on it, in real
+time. Colours use OKLCH, so the ramp stays perceptually even across hues
+without muddy mid-tones.
+
+## Type
+
+- **Fonts.** Add sources from Google Fonts, Adobe (Typekit), a CSS URL, or an
+  inline `@font-face`. The font loads in the page as soon as you add it.
+- **Stacks.** Named font cascades you reference by token, such as a display
+  stack and a body stack.
+- **Sizes and weights.** A t-shirt scale (xs, sm, md, lg, xl, 2xl…) for size and
+  a numeric scale (100 to 900) for weight.
+
+## Spacing, radius, shadow
+
+Numeric scales with a slider per step.
+
+- **Spacing**: the padding, gap, and margin scale.
+- **Radius**: none through full.
+- **Shadow**: colour, offset, blur, spread, and opacity per step, with stacked
+  shadows supported.
+
+Change a step and every element using it repaints.
+
+## Overlays and gradients
+
+- **Overlays** are translucent tints layered over surfaces, like the subtle
+  tint a card gets on hover. Set a colour and opacity per state.
+- **Gradients** are reusable gradient tokens with a stop list and direction, for
+  hero panels and accent backgrounds.
+
+## Columns
+
+The page-grid overlay. Set column count, gutter, and outer margin, and toggle
+the visual guide with `Cmd/Ctrl+G`. Pages built on the column system reflow
+live.
+
+## Saving
+
+The editor saves to your browser continuously, so work survives a reload
+mid-edit. **Save** is a separate step: it writes a named theme file under
+`src/live-tokens/data/themes/`.
+
+The header gives you undo/redo (`Cmd/Ctrl+Z`, `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z`) and a file
+menu for New, Save, Save as, Switch, and Delete. You can keep many themes side
+by side; one is active at a time. See [Themes](themes-workflow.md) for the full
+lifecycle.

+# Getting started
+
+Scaffold a live token site in a moments. You need Node 20 or later, a
+package manager (npm, pnpm, or yarn), and a browser. Open claude code in your repo and start building.
+
+## Scaffold a new app
+
+```bash
+npm create @motion-proto/live-tokens@latest my-app
+cd my-app
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Open the URL Vite prints (usually `http://localhost:5173`). You get a
+one-page Svelte + Vite app that depends on the published package, with the
+editor wired up and the full component set ready to import.
+
+`npx @motion-proto/live-tokens create my-app` runs the same scaffold without
+the initialiser package.
+
+### What the scaffold gives you
+
+Every editable file lives under `src/` and is committed, so `npm install` and
+version upgrades never touch your styles. The package code stays in
+`node_modules`.
+
+| Path | What it is |
+|------|------------|
+| `src/pages/Home.svelte` | The starter page. Replace it with your own content. |
+| `src/App.svelte` | Your routes. `<LiveTokensRouter>` adds the dev-only `/editor`, `/components`, and `/docs` routes. |
+| `src/system/styles/tokens.css` | Your base token vocabulary, hand-authored. |
+| `src/styles/site.css` | Themed page typography, yours to edit. |
+
+## Your first edit
+
+1. Run `npm run dev` and open the home page.
+2. Click **Open Token Editor**, or visit `/editor`. The editor opens beside
+   the page.
+3. Open **Palettes**, pick **Brand**, and change the base hex. The page
+   repaints as you type.
+4. Open the file menu and choose **Save as**. A theme appears as JSON under
+   `src/live-tokens/data/themes/`.
+5. Reload. Your saved theme is the active theme, so the page returns as you
+   left it.
+
+## What you just changed
+
+Every edit sets a CSS custom property on `:root`. Your components read those
+properties through `var(--...)`. There is no token build step and no
+preprocessor rewriting your code: the page renders against plain CSS variables
+the editor swaps live.
+
+To ship, promote a theme to production in the editor. That bakes the theme's
+variables into `src/live-tokens/data/tokens.generated.css`, which your build
+bundles alongside `tokens.css`. The editor itself never reaches production.
+
+Already have a Svelte 5 + Vite app? The
+[README](https://github.com/motionproto/live-tokens#readme) covers installing
+into an existing project.

+# Themes
+
+Save your work, switch between themes, and ship one to production.
+
+## How themes work
+
+- **Your live edits** are what the page shows right now. They save to your
+  browser automatically and survive a reload, but they are not yet a file.
+- **A saved theme** is a named JSON file in `src/live-tokens/data/themes/`. You
+  create one with **Save as**.
+- **The active theme** is the saved theme the page loads at startup. Exactly one
+  at a time.
+- **The production theme** is the one that ships. Promoting sets it.
+
+## Saving
+
+In the editor header:
+
+- **Save** updates the current theme.
+- **Save as** names a new theme. Use it for your first save and for forking.
+
+Names are tidied to lowercase with underscores, so "My Brand!" becomes
+`my_brand`. There is a built-in `default` theme you can always return to; the
+editor never overwrites it.
+
+## Switching
+
+The file menu lists every saved theme. Pick one to make it active; the page
+reloads with it applied. Your current edits are saved to the previous theme
+first, so you don't lose work.
+
+## Shipping
+
+**Promote to production** is the "ship it" step. It bakes the theme's variables
+into `src/live-tokens/data/tokens.generated.css`, which your build bundles
+alongside `tokens.css`. Fonts regenerate to match.
+
+Production builds (`npm run build`) ship only that plain CSS and your
+components. No editor, no JSON loading, no runtime indirection. If you save
+while the production theme is active, the generated CSS updates immediately,
+with no separate promote step.
+
+## Manifests
+
+A **manifest** bundles one theme plus a config for each component into a single
+named set. Useful when you run several brands and want each to apply its theme
+and component tweaks in one move. There is a protected default and an active
+manifest; applying one swaps everything at once.
+
+## Keeping your work safe
+
+Everything under `src/live-tokens/data/` is plain JSON, so commit it. Themes
+show up as readable diffs you can review per branch. There are no automatic
+backups: git is your safety net. To experiment freely, **Save as** a new name
+first, then edit.
+
+## Where to go next
+
+- **[Creating components](creating-components.md)**: make your own components
+  editable in the same editor.
