 # Design System Inspiration of Linear
 
 ## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
 
-Linear's website is a masterclass in dark-mode-first product design — a near-black canvas (`#08090a`) where content emerges from darkness like starlight. The overall impression is one of extreme precision engineering: every element exists in a carefully calibrated hierarchy of luminance, from barely-visible borders (`rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`) to soft, luminous text (`#f7f8f8`). This is not a dark theme applied to a light design — it is darkness as the native medium, where information density is managed through subtle gradations of white opacity rather than color variation.
+Linear is a product-development system for planning and building software, and its public experience treats precision as atmosphere. The current pages use a deep `#08090a` canvas, near-white `#f7f8f8` type, narrow luminance steps for secondary information, and light-steel conversion actions rather than flooding the interface with its indigo identity color. Large Inter Variable headings compress at 48px/510 with negative tracking, while compact 13px navigation and embedded product previews create a tool-like layer beneath the editorial story.
 
-The typography system is built entirely on Inter Variable with OpenType features `"cv01"` and `"ss03"` enabled globally, giving the typeface a cleaner, more geometric character. Inter is used at a remarkable range of weights — from 300 (light body) through 510 (medium, Linear's signature weight) to 590 (semibold emphasis). The 510 weight is particularly distinctive: it sits between regular and medium, creating a subtle emphasis that doesn't shout. At display sizes (72px, 64px, 48px), Inter uses aggressive negative letter-spacing (-1.584px to -1.056px), creating compressed, authoritative headlines that feel engineered rather than designed. Berkeley Mono serves as the monospace companion for code and technical labels, with fallbacks to ui-monospace, SF Mono, and Menlo.
-
-The color system is almost entirely achromatic — dark backgrounds with white/gray text — punctuated by a single brand accent: Linear's signature indigo-violet (`#5e6ad2` for backgrounds, `#7170ff` for interactive accents). This accent color is used sparingly and intentionally, appearing only on CTAs, active states, and brand elements. The border system uses ultra-thin, semi-transparent white borders (`rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`) that create structure without visual noise, like wireframes drawn in moonlight.
+The distinctive part is the boundary between public marketing and inspectable product demonstration. The homepage embeds real-looking issue, menu, comment, and control compositions, but those samples do not authorize claims about every authenticated workspace state. Six safe menu expansions established current open/selected behavior for public nav and the embedded preview. Berkeley Mono was visibly used for six technical input/text elements. Tiempos Headline appeared once on a surface-local heading and is documented as an observation rather than promoted as the UI family. Linear's official Method and brand pages provide philosophy and identity context separately.
 
 **Key Characteristics:**
-- Dark-mode-native: `#08090a` marketing background, `#0f1011` panel background, `#191a1b` elevated surfaces
-- Inter Variable with `"cv01", "ss03"` globally — geometric alternates for a cleaner aesthetic
-- Signature weight 510 (between regular and medium) for most UI text
-- Aggressive negative letter-spacing at display sizes (-1.584px at 72px, -1.056px at 48px)
-- Brand indigo-violet: `#5e6ad2` (bg) / `#7170ff` (accent) / `#828fff` (hover) — the only chromatic color in the system
-- Semi-transparent white borders throughout: `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`
-- Button backgrounds at near-zero opacity: `rgba(255,255,255,0.02)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`
-- Multi-layered shadows with inset variants for depth on dark surfaces
-- Radix UI primitives as the component foundation (6 detected primitives)
-- Success green (`#27a644`, `#10b981`) used only for status indicators
+- Dark-native public canvas with narrow neutral luminance hierarchy
+- Loaded Inter Variable across 1,728 visible elements; Berkeley Mono in technical preview roles
+- Light-steel pill as the main public CTA; indigo retained as identity evidence
+- 6px embedded product controls, 8px cards/menu rows, full-pill public actions
+- Current focus/hover/pressed and menu-open states captured across four routes
 
 ## 2. Color Palette & Roles
 
-### Background Surfaces
-- **Marketing Black** (`#010102` / `#08090a`): The deepest background — the canvas for hero sections and marketing pages. Near-pure black with an imperceptible blue-cool undertone.
-- **Panel Dark** (`#0f1011`): Sidebar and panel backgrounds. One step up from the marketing black.
-- **Level 3 Surface** (`#191a1b`): Elevated surface areas, card backgrounds, dropdowns.
-- **Secondary Surface** (`#28282c`): The lightest dark surface — used for hover states and slightly elevated components.
-
-### Text & Content
-- **Primary Text** (`#f7f8f8`): Near-white with a barely-warm cast. The default text color — not pure white, preventing eye strain on dark backgrounds.
-- **Secondary Text** (`#d0d6e0`): Cool silver-gray for body text, descriptions, and secondary content.
-- **Tertiary Text** (`#8a8f98`): Muted gray for placeholders, metadata, and de-emphasized content.
-- **Quaternary Text** (`#62666d`): The most subdued text — timestamps, disabled states, subtle labels.
-
-### Brand & Accent
-- **Brand Indigo** (`#5e6ad2`): Primary brand color — used for CTA button backgrounds, brand marks, and key interactive surfaces.
-- **Accent Violet** (`#7170ff`): Brighter variant for interactive elements — links, active states, selected items.
-- **Accent Hover** (`#828fff`): Lighter, more saturated variant for hover states on accent elements.
-- **Security Lavender** (`#7a7fad`): Muted indigo used specifically for security-related UI elements.
-
-### Status Colors
-- **Green** (`#27a644`): Primary success/active status. Used for "in progress" indicators.
-- **Emerald** (`#10b981`): Secondary success — pill badges, completion states.
-
-### Border & Divider
-- **Border Primary** (`#23252a`): Solid dark border for prominent separations.
-- **Border Secondary** (`#34343a`): Slightly lighter solid border.
-- **Border Tertiary** (`#3e3e44`): Lightest solid border variant.
-- **Border Subtle** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`): Ultra-subtle semi-transparent border — the default.
-- **Border Standard** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`): Standard semi-transparent border for cards, inputs, code blocks.
-- **Line Tint** (`#141516`): Nearly invisible line for the subtlest divisions.
-- **Line Tertiary** (`#18191a`): Slightly more visible divider line.
-
-### Light Mode Neutrals (for light theme contexts)
-- **Light Background** (`#f7f8f8`): Page background in light mode.
-- **Light Surface** (`#f3f4f5` / `#f5f6f7`): Subtle surface tinting.
-- **Light Border** (`#d0d6e0`): Visible border in light contexts.
-- **Light Border Alt** (`#e6e6e6`): Alternative lighter border.
-- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Card surfaces, highlights.
-
-### Overlay
-- **Overlay Primary** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.85)`): Modal/dialog backdrop — extremely dark for focus isolation.
+- **Identity indigo** (`#5e6ad2`): official/live brand-defining accent, not the default public CTA fill.
+- **Canvas** (`#08090a`): repeated current dark background.
+- **Foreground** (`#f7f8f8`), **secondary** (`#d0d6e0`), **muted** (`#8a8f98`), **quiet** (`#62666d`): current information hierarchy.
+- **Primary public action** (`#e5e5e6`) with `#08090a` content.
+- **Hairline** (`#1c1d1e`): 8% white composited on `#08090a`, the current embedded/product boundary.
+
+Neon lime is retained only as a captured customer-card editorial sibling, not a universal action or semantic token. Prior hover indigo and generic success colors are omitted without matching current interaction evidence.
 
 ## 3. Typography Rules
 
-### Font Family
-- **Primary**: `Inter Variable`, with fallbacks: `SF Pro Display, -apple-system, system-ui, Segoe UI, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Open Sans, Helvetica Neue`
-- **Monospace**: `Berkeley Mono`, with fallbacks: `ui-monospace, SF Mono, Menlo`
-- **OpenType Features**: `"cv01", "ss03"` enabled globally — cv01 provides an alternate lowercase 'a' (single-story), ss03 adjusts specific letterforms for a cleaner geometric appearance.

-### Principles
-- **510 is the signature weight**: Linear uses Inter Variable's 510 weight (between regular 400 and medium 500) as its default emphasis weight. This creates a subtly bolded feel without the heaviness of traditional medium or semibold.
-- **Compression at scale**: Display sizes use progressively tighter letter-spacing — -1.584px at 72px, -1.408px at 64px, -1.056px at 48px, -0.704px at 32px. Below 24px, spacing relaxes toward normal.
-- **OpenType as identity**: `"cv01", "ss03"` aren't decorative — they transform Inter into Linear's distinctive typeface, giving it a more geometric, purposeful character.
-- **Three-tier weight system**: 400 (reading), 510 (emphasis/UI), 590 (strong emphasis). The 300 weight appears only in deliberately de-emphasized contexts.

-## 4. Component Patterns
-
-Specs below are grouped by function. Unless marked *(Inferred)* or *(Refero)*, every value was measured via `getComputedStyle` on a live route (`linear.app` home, `/pricing`, `/customers`, `/now`) on 2026-06-09. Heights are rendered `getBoundingClientRect` values; colors are the computed paint converted to hex.
-
-### Actions
-
-**primary cta (Sign up / Open app)**
-- Background: `#e5e5e6` (light neutral — the dark-page primary)
-- Text: `#08090a` (near-black)
-- Border: `1px solid #e5e5e6`
-- Radius: 9999px (full pill)
-- Height: 32px (nav) / 44px hero variant (16px text, 0px 20px padding)
-- Padding: 0px 12px (nav) → 0px 20px (hero)
-- Font: 13px weight 510 (nav) / 16px weight 510 (hero)
-- Shadow: layered drop stack `rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.07) 0px 1px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 3px 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.01) 0px 5px 2px`
-- Use: Highest-priority CTA on dark surfaces ("Sign up", "Open app", "Get started")
-
-**secondary cta (Get started / Contact sales / Download)**
-- Background: `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`
-- Text: `#f7f8f8`
-- Radius: 9999px (full pill)
-- Height: 40px (pricing) / 44px (hero); padding 0px 14px → 0px 20px
-- Font: 13–16px weight 510
-- Shadow: inset hairline + ring `rgba(255,255,255,0.03) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset, rgba(255,255,255,0.04) 0px 1px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0,0,0,0.6) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 4px`
-- Use: Paired alternative beside the primary CTA — "Contact sales" next to "Get started"
-
-**brand cta (Lime "Build now")** *(Refero + live banner)*
-- Background: `#e4f222` (signature lime)
-- Text: `#08090a`
-- Radius: 6px (Refero) / 8px (live banner block, 24px 32px padding)
-- Font: Inter Variable 15px weight 590
-- Use: High-emphasis marketing conversion banner — Linear's loudest single accent
-
-**brand fill button** *(Inferred)*
-- Background: `#5e6ad2` (brand indigo) — measured live only on the visually-hidden "Skip to content" control (`#5e6ad2` fill, white text, 0px 16px, 32px, 14px/510)
-- Text: `#ffffff`
-- Hover: `#828fff` shift
-- Use: Brand-accent fills; in marketing chrome the indigo is reserved, surfacing on the skip-link and in-product accents rather than primary page CTAs
-
-**ghost button** *(Inferred)*
-- Background: `rgba(255,255,255,0.02)`
-- Text: `#e2e4e7`
-- Radius: 6px

-- Use: Tertiary actions, low-emphasis secondary CTAs
-
-**inline chip button (toolbar)**
-- Background: `rgba(255,255,255,0.04)`
-- Text: `#d0d6e0`
-- Radius: 6px

-- Font: 13px weight 510
-- Use: In-product contextual labels surfaced in marketing ("Faster app launch")
-
-**icon button (circle)** *(Inferred)*
-- Background: `rgba(255,255,255,0.03)` → `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`
-- Text: `#f7f8f8`
-- Radius: 50%
-- Border: `1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`
-- Use: Close, menu toggle, icon-only actions
-

-**Verified:** 2026-06-09
-**Tier:** 2 (no public design system / Storybook; brand page at `linear.app/brand` is wordmark + color only; product app behind auth). Harvested across 4 public routes — home, `/pricing`, `/customers`, `/now`.
-**Tier 1 sources:** linear.app live DOM via playwright — nav links 13px / 400 / `#8a8f98` → `#f7f8f8` active, 9999px / 0×12 / 32px; primary CTA `#e5e5e6` fill / `#08090a` text / 9999px / 32px (nav) and 44px / 0×20 / 16px (hero); secondary CTA `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` / 40–44px / inset+ring shadow; search input `#141516` / 40px / 100px pill; filter pill transparent / `#23252a` border / 26px; "Load more" `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` / 40px; mega-menu popover `#101112` / 12px / `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`, submenu `#161718` / 8px; footer `#08090a` with `#23252a` top divider; lime banner `#e4f222` / 8px.
-**Tier 2 sources:** styles.refero.design/style/90ce5883-bb24-4466-93f7-801cd617b0d1 (Primary Action Lime `#e4f222` / `#08090a` text / 6px / Inter Variable 590·15px ✓; Default Card `#0f1011` / 6px ✓); getdesign.md/linear — directory only.
-**Conflicts unresolved:** none. Refero captures the Lime "Build now" CTA (`#e4f222`); live homepage primary is the light neutral `#e5e5e6` ("Sign up"). Both retained as distinct action variants above.
+Inputs, command palettes, authenticated issue controls, success badges, and dialogs are omitted from canonical machine components unless current evidence establishes their exact role.
 
 ## 5. Layout Principles
 
-### Spacing System
-- Base unit: 8px
-- Scale: 1px, 4px, 7px, 8px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 19px, 20px, 22px, 24px, 28px, 32px, 35px
-- The 7px and 11px values suggest micro-adjustments for optical alignment
-- Primary rhythm: 8px, 16px, 24px, 32px (standard 8px grid)
-
-### Grid & Container
-- Max content width: approximately 1200px
-- Hero: centered single-column with generous vertical padding
-- Feature sections: 2–3 column grids for feature cards
-- Full-width dark sections with internal max-width constraints
-- Changelog: single-column timeline layout
-
-### Whitespace Philosophy
-- **Darkness as space**: On Linear's dark canvas, empty space isn't white — it's absence. The near-black background IS the whitespace, and content emerges from it.
-- **Compressed headlines, expanded surroundings**: Display text at 72px with -1.584px tracking is dense and compressed, but sits within vast dark padding. The contrast between typographic density and spatial generosity creates tension.
-- **Section isolation**: Each feature section is separated by generous vertical padding (80px+) with no visible dividers — the dark background provides natural separation.
-
-### Border Radius Scale
-- Micro (2px): Inline badges, toolbar buttons, subtle tags
-- Standard (4px): Small containers, list items
-- Comfortable (6px): Buttons, inputs, functional elements
-- Card (8px): Cards, dropdowns, popovers
-- Panel (12px): Panels, featured cards, section containers
-- Large (22px): Large panel elements
-- Full Pill (9999px): Chips, filter pills, status tags
-- Circle (50%): Icon buttons, avatars, status dots
+- Use a deep continuous canvas and create hierarchy through luminance before borders.
+- Keep public conversion actions pill-shaped; keep embedded product controls compact at 6–8px.
+- Let large editorial typography and product demonstration alternate rather than stacking generic cards.
+- Preserve generous 24–32px card padding where customer stories become full compositions.
 
 ## 6. Depth & Elevation
 
-| Level | Treatment | Use |
-|-------|-----------|-----|
-| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, `#010102` bg | Page background, deepest canvas |
-| Subtle (Level 1) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.03) 0px 1.2px 0px` | Toolbar buttons, micro-elevation |
-| Surface (Level 2) | `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` bg + `1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08)` border | Cards, input fields, containers |
-| Inset (Level 2b) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 12px 0px inset` | Recessed panels, inner shadows |
-| Ring (Level 3) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 0px 1px` | Border-as-shadow technique |
-| Elevated (Level 4) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.4) 0px 2px 4px` | Floating elements, dropdowns |
-| Dialog (Level 5) | Multi-layer stack: `rgba(0,0,0,0) 0px 8px 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.01) 0px 5px 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 3px 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.07) 0px 1px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 0px 1px` | Popovers, command palette, modals |
-| Focus | `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px` + additional layers | Keyboard focus on interactive elements |
-
-**Shadow Philosophy**: On dark surfaces, traditional shadows (dark on dark) are nearly invisible. Linear solves this by using semi-transparent white borders as the primary depth indicator. Elevation isn't communicated through shadow darkness but through background luminance steps — each level slightly increases the white opacity of the surface background (`0.02` → `0.04` → `0.05`), creating a subtle stacking effect. The inset shadow technique (`rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 12px 0px inset`) creates a unique "sunken" effect for recessed panels, adding dimensional depth that traditional dark themes lack.
+Depth is low-contrast and layered: faint inset rings and small multi-layer action shadows on dark surfaces. The primary action shadow is role-specific, not a default for every control.
 
 ## 7. Do's and Don'ts
 
 ### Do
-- Use Inter Variable with `"cv01", "ss03"` on ALL text — these features are fundamental to Linear's typeface identity
-- Use weight 510 as your default emphasis weight — it's Linear's signature between-weight
-- Apply aggressive negative letter-spacing at display sizes (-1.584px at 72px, -1.056px at 48px)
-- Build on near-black backgrounds: `#08090a` for marketing, `#0f1011` for panels, `#191a1b` for elevated surfaces
-- Use semi-transparent white borders (`rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`) instead of solid dark borders
-- Keep button backgrounds nearly transparent: `rgba(255,255,255,0.02)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`
-- Reserve brand indigo (`#5e6ad2` / `#7170ff`) for primary CTAs and interactive accents only
-- Use `#f7f8f8` for primary text — not pure `#ffffff`, which would be too harsh
-- Apply the luminance stacking model: deeper = darker bg, elevated = slightly lighter bg
+- Use the verified neutral hierarchy and distinguish public actions from product-preview controls.
+- Keep Inter Variable's observed 510/590 weights and negative display tracking.
+- Treat open/selected states as component-local evidence.
 
 ### Don't
-- Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as primary text — `#f7f8f8` prevents eye strain
-- Don't use solid colored backgrounds for buttons — transparency is the system (rgba white at 0.02–0.05)
-- Don't apply the brand indigo decoratively — it's reserved for interactive/CTA elements only
-- Don't use positive letter-spacing on display text — Inter at large sizes always runs negative
-- Don't use visible/opaque borders on dark backgrounds — borders should be whisper-thin semi-transparent white
-- Don't skip the OpenType features (`"cv01", "ss03"`) — without them, it's generic Inter, not Linear's Inter
-- Don't use weight 700 (bold) — Linear's maximum weight is 590, with 510 as the workhorse
-- Don't introduce warm colors into the UI chrome — the palette is cool gray with blue-violet accent only
-- Don't use drop shadows for elevation on dark surfaces — use background luminance stepping instead
+- Do not make neon lime or indigo the default CTA everywhere.
+- Do not export embedded preview states as authenticated-app facts.

 ## 8. Responsive Behavior
 
-### Breakpoints
-| Name | Width | Key Changes |
-|------|-------|-------------|
-| Mobile Small | <600px | Single column, compact padding |
-| Mobile | 600–640px | Standard mobile layout |
-| Tablet | 640–768px | Two-column grids begin |
-| Desktop Small | 768–1024px | Full card grids, expanded padding |
-| Desktop | 1024–1280px | Standard desktop, full navigation |
-| Large Desktop | >1280px | Full layout, generous margins |
-
-### Touch Targets
-- Buttons use comfortable padding with 6px radius minimum
-- Navigation links at 13–14px with adequate spacing
-- Pill tags have 10px horizontal padding for touch accessibility
-- Icon buttons at 50% radius ensure circular, easy-to-tap targets
-- Search trigger is prominently placed with generous hit area
-
-### Collapsing Strategy
-- Hero: 72px → 48px → 32px display text, tracking adjusts proportionally
-- Navigation: horizontal links + CTAs → hamburger menu at 768px
-- Feature cards: 3-column → 2-column → single column stacked
-- Product screenshots: maintain aspect ratio, may reduce padding
-- Changelog: timeline maintains single-column through all sizes
-- Footer: multi-column → stacked single column
-- Section spacing: 80px+ → 48px on mobile
-
-### Image Behavior
-- Dashboard screenshots maintain border treatment at all sizes
-- Hero visuals simplify on mobile (fewer floating UI elements)
-- Product screenshots use responsive sizing with consistent radius
-- Dark background ensures screenshots blend naturally at any viewport
+Public routes retain the dark canvas, pill navigation/actions, and type hierarchy as sections reflow. Authenticated workspace breakpoints and desktop-client layout remain unresolved.

-
-### Iteration Guide
-1. Always set font-feature-settings `"cv01", "ss03"` on all Inter text — this is non-negotiable for Linear's look
-2. Letter-spacing scales with font size: -1.584px at 72px, -1.056px at 48px, -0.704px at 32px, normal below 16px
-3. Three weights: 400 (read), 510 (emphasize/navigate), 590 (announce)
-4. Surface elevation via background opacity: `rgba(255,255,255, 0.02 → 0.04 → 0.05)` — never solid backgrounds on dark
-5. Brand indigo (`#5e6ad2` / `#7170ff`) is the only chromatic color — everything else is grayscale
-6. Borders are always semi-transparent white, never solid dark colors on dark backgrounds
-7. Berkeley Mono for any code or technical content, Inter Variable for everything else
-
----
+> Build a precise dark product-development surface with a `#08090a` canvas, near-white and stepped gray text, Inter Variable, restrained negative tracking, light-steel full-pill primary actions, and compact 6–8px product-preview controls. Use only verified menu-open/selected states and omit speculative workspace components.
 
 ## 10. Voice & Tone
 
-Linear's voice is craftsman-like, direct, and quietly opinionated. The product's own README opens with *"This is not a manifesto. This is not a codex, not a whitepaper, and not a secret master plan. This is just a simple story"* — and that anti-grandeur register is the whole voice. It speaks to makers: software engineers, designers, product managers, founding teams. Technical vocabulary is used when appropriate, without apology. Marketing superlatives are never used. When Linear makes a claim, it is specific ("2-week cycles are the most common in software building") rather than promotional ("boost your team's productivity by 10x").
-
-| Context | Tone |
-|---|---|
-| Hero headlines | Declarative, opinionated. "The AI-native platform for modern product teams." |
-| Product descriptions | Concrete, mechanic-focused ("Cycles create a healthy routine and focus teams"). Never feature-listy. |
-| CTAs | Imperative verb + noun. "Start building", "Sign in", "Read the method". |
-| Issue / UI strings | Dense but unambiguous. Technical abbreviations are fine — the audience reads them. |
-| Docs / API reference | Peer-to-peer. Never condescending, never hedging. |
-| Changelog ("Now") | Specific, dated, ship-proud. "We shipped X. It does Y." |
-| Marketing copy | Craft-oriented — speaks about quality, speed, focus — not productivity metrics. |
-| Error messages | Specific and blameless. Never "An error occurred." |
-| Onboarding | One idea per screen. Keyboard shortcuts are taught inline, not in a tour. |
-
-**Forbidden phrases.** "10x", "boost your productivity", "empower your team", "unleash", "supercharge", "revolutionary". User-story vocabulary ("As a user, I want...") — the Linear Method explicitly rejects this frame, and it should not appear anywhere in product, marketing, or docs copy. "Easy peasy", "effortless" as self-descriptors. Performative onboarding toasts ("Great choice!"). Emoji on product or marketing surfaces — Linear does not add 🚀 or ✨ to its release notes.
+Linear's public language is concise, opinionated, and operational. Describe how teams plan and build with direct verbs and clear tradeoffs. Product copy should name the work object, its state, and the next decision rather than celebrate process for its own sake. Method content may be more declarative, but it should still connect principles to how a team actually plans, discusses, and ships work. Keep labels short. Avoid decorative productivity claims and unsupported speed metrics; prioritize focus, momentum, quality, and deliberate workflow.
 
 ## 11. Brand Narrative
 
-Linear was founded **January 2019** in San Francisco by **Karri Saarinen** (CEO), **Tuomas Artman** (CTO), and **Jori Lallo** (CPO) — all Finnish, with origins in the Helsinki startup community ([Linear About](https://linear.app/about), [Sequoia spotlight](https://sequoiacap.com/article/linear-spotlight/)). Their backgrounds were at Airbnb (Saarinen, Principal Designer), Coinbase (Lallo, Senior Engineer), and Uber (Artman, Senior Engineer). Saarinen and Lallo had previously co-founded **Kippt** (collaborative bookmarking, [YC 2012](https://research.contrary.com/company/linear)), which Coinbase acquired in 2014. In 2018 Lallo took a sabbatical and pitched the new tool to Saarinen and Artman; they bootstrapped Linear's first version for small/mid-size companies. Linear exited private beta in **June 2020** and was **profitable by June 2021 with negative lifetime burn** ([Pragmatic Engineer](https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/linear)). The two funding rounds were both led by Sequoia Capital — **Seed $4.2M (November 2019)** and **Series A $13M (December 2020)**. Their founding complaint is published on their public README: *"Craftsmanship was replaced with growth hacks. Our once so lively dreams have become positively lifeless."* The name itself was chosen as a design statement: *"We chose to name it Linear to signify progress."*
-
-That craft-first positioning has stayed the company's center of gravity. Linear publishes **The Linear Method** — a public document stating *"There is a lost art of building true quality software. To bring back the right focus, here are the foundational ideas Linear is built on."* The Method articulates opinions most companies would never publish: *"Write issues not user stories"*, *"A tool should work for you, not the other way around"*, *"Don't invent terms if possible"*. These are not marketing — they are internal operating principles made public because Linear wants to attract customers who already agree with them.
-
-What Linear refuses: bloat (*"A tool should be simple to get started with and grow more powerful as you scale"*), vocabulary inflation, the user-story framework, marketing metrics like "10x productivity", and the generic SaaS dark-theme-as-afterthought aesthetic. What it embraces: near-black as the native medium (not a toggled theme), Inter Variable at its 510 weight as a typographic signature, keyboard-first interaction, and publishing strong opinions *before* asking a customer to adopt them.
+Linear presents software development as a system that benefits from clear principles, not a collection of disconnected tickets. Its Method turns product philosophy into explicit operating guidance, while the dark public interface and embedded product demonstrations make that discipline visible. The brand's indigo identifies Linear, but neutral structure does most of the interface work. That restraint supports the company's larger narrative: product teams need a shared environment where issues, projects, feedback, and progress remain connected without adding operational noise. Public customer stories show the system in organizational context, while embedded product compositions demonstrate how compact menus, labels, and states can make dense work legible. The visual language therefore combines editorial conviction with tool-like precision. It should feel fast because hierarchy is clear, not because motion or unsupported performance claims are added.
 
 ## 12. Principles
 
-1. **A tool should work for you, not the other way around.** *(Linear Method, verbatim.)* The UI must never demand admin work to be useful. Keyboard shortcuts are first-class; mouse-only workflows are second-class.
-2. **Productivity software needs to be designed for purpose.** *(Linear Method, verbatim.)* No generic SaaS templates. Every surface — issue list, cycle view, project brief — is shaped by the specific work it supports.
-3. **Write issues not user stories.** *(Linear Method, verbatim.)* The "As a user, I want..." frame is banned from the product vocabulary and from Linear's own copy.
-4. **Don't invent terms if possible.** *(Linear Method, verbatim.)* If a concept can use an existing word, use it. Proprietary jargon is a tax on every new user.
-5. **Cycles over sprints.** *(Linear Method.)* Sprints are running — frantic, short-term. Cycles are rhythms — sustainable, repeated. Word choice is design.
-6. **Craft is the product.** Linear's public README critiques the industry for replacing craft with growth hacks. The visible craft — exact letter-spacing, semi-transparent borders at 0.05 opacity, weight 510 as signature — is that critique made concrete.
-7. **Ambitious goals are the only way to make a significant impact.** *(Linear Method, verbatim.)* Every project has a named owner and a specific brief. Vague roadmaps do not exist.
-8. **Opinions are the feature.** Linear publishes opinions (The Method, the README) before the product converts anyone. Customers self-select for alignment; they are not sold.
-9. **Darkness is the canvas, not a theme.** The near-black background is native to the product, not a dark-mode toggle. Light mode exists but is secondary. Chromatic restraint (single indigo-violet accent) is the same discipline.
-10. **Designers and engineers work together.** *(Linear Method, verbatim: "Designers and engineers should work together on projects, creating a natural push and pull.")* The design system's precision and the product's UX cohesion both come from this pairing — no handoff artifacts, no siloed "design review".
+1. **Build with focus.** Reduce visual and operational noise around the next important action.
+2. **Make progress legible.** Hierarchy and state should help teams understand momentum.
+3. **Use opinionated defaults carefully.** Strong conventions should remain tied to verified roles.
+4. **Separate story from product truth.** Marketing demos, Method, brand assets, and private workspaces are distinct evidence domains, even when they share the same visual language.
 
 ## 13. Personas
 
-*Personas below are fictional archetypes informed by publicly observable Linear user segments (software engineers, product designers, engineering managers, early-stage founders), not individual people.*
+Public material establishes task contexts only:
+- A product or engineering lead planning work and reviewing progress.
+- A software maker creating, prioritizing, or discussing issues.
+- A cross-functional team evaluating workflow, pricing, or migration fit.
 
-**Lena Hoffmann, 32, Berlin.** Staff engineer at a Series-B SaaS startup. Uses Linear as her primary work surface — issues, cycles, documents — and refuses to switch to anything that requires more than one keystroke to capture a thought. Reads The Linear Method periodically to see how the team thinks. Has opinions about the exact width of the sidebar (a few pixels too narrow for her taste). Would not use Jira if she were paid to.
-
-**Juan Pablo Reyes, 28, Buenos Aires.** Product designer at a fintech startup. Uses Linear's issue list the way a composer uses a score — he can read the state of a project in five seconds from the shape of the list alone. Appreciates that cards do not have decorative illustrations or progress bars; the data is the design. Finds Linear's keyboard shortcuts addictive to the point of being slightly annoying when he uses other tools.
-
-**Mei-Ling Chen, 45, Taipei.** Engineering manager with 12 engineers reporting to her. Runs biweekly cycles. Relies on the cycle view to see slip without having to ask anyone. Values that Linear publishes its method publicly — she uses the Method as training material for new hires instead of writing her own playbook.
-
-**Matias Lahti, 26, Helsinki.** Founding engineer at a stealth startup. Introduced Linear to his co-founders on day one because he views project-management tool choice as culture-setting. Reads Linear's "Now" release notes as a weekly ritual. Views Linear's pricing page the way he views a well-designed terminal prompt — functional, opinionated, correctly small.
+Project-specific names, team sizes, roles, metrics, and company stages are intentionally unspecified and must come from the product brief.
 
 ## 14. States
 
-| State | Treatment |
-|---|---|
-| **Empty (no issues)** | Near-black (`#08090a`) canvas. Single Primary Text line at 18px Inter Variable 510: "No issues yet." One ghost button "Create first issue". No illustration. No decorative progress bars. |
-| **Empty (filter with zero results)** | Tertiary Text (`#8a8f98`) caption: "No issues match this filter." Active filter chip visible above. Reset filter link in Accent Violet (`#7170ff`). |
-| **Loading (first paint)** | Skeleton bars at exact list-row heights using `rgba(255,255,255,0.03)` — one luminance step *below* the actual row background, so content paints in as a step-up rather than a step-down. 1.2s shimmer in cool gray. No spinners. |
-| **Loading (real-time sync)** | Nothing. Linear's sync is assumed; if it breaks, the offline banner surfaces instead. Persistent sync spinners would violate the "tool works for you" principle. |
-| **Error (offline / sync failed)** | Top banner at `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` with Primary Text + an Accent Violet reconnect link. One sentence. Technical and honest ("Sync paused — will reconnect automatically"). |
-| **Error (command palette action failed)** | Inline below the command input. Muted red at 510 weight — Linear's palette does not include a vibrant error red, so the error tone stays in the cool, restrained register. |
-| **Error (form validation)** | Field-level. 13px caption below the field in muted red (`~#c45858` equivalent), describes what is invalid and what would be valid. No icon, no banner. |
-| **Success (issue created)** | Issue appears at the top of the list with a 300ms fade from 0 opacity. No toast. The issue's presence is the confirmation. |
-| **Success (cycle completed)** | Cycle chip transitions to Success Green (`#10b981`) with 510 weight label. One-time transition, no celebratory effects, no confetti. |
-| **Skeleton** | Semi-transparent white (`rgba(255,255,255,0.03)` → `0.05` shimmer) blocks at exact list-row dimensions. Never cool blue or purple — stays in the achromatic palette. |
-| **Disabled** | Opacity drops on both text and border together. Disabled buttons keep their 6px radius; geometry stable if re-enabled. |
-| **Keyboard focus ring** | Multi-layer shadow stack (Depth Level "Focus" from §6). Visible but not loud — matches the "subtle structure" philosophy. |
+Public nav focus/hover/pressed and expanded/menu-open states are verified. Embedded menu selected/open is verified. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled workflow, and command-palette states remain absent.
 
 ## 15. Motion & Easing
 
-**Durations**:
-
-| Token | Value | Use |
-|---|---|---|
-| `motion-instant` | 0ms | Selection, toggle, keyboard shortcut commits |
-| `motion-fast` | 100ms | Hover, focus, button press — deliberately the fastest across the reference set |
-| `motion-standard` | 180ms | Sheet, modal, dropdown, command palette |
-| `motion-slow` | 280ms | Rare — hero reveals on marketing surfaces only |
-
-**Easings**:
-
-| Token | Curve | Use |
-|---|---|---|
-| `ease-enter` | `cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.25, 1)` | Arriving — sheets, command palette, dropdowns |
-| `ease-exit` | `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.0, 1, 1)` | Dismissals |
-| `ease-standard` | `cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1)` | Two-way transitions, hover states |
-
-**Explicitly forbidden.** No spring. No bounce. No overshoot. Linear does not use a `cubic-bezier` with a middle control value above `1.0` anywhere. Motion is a precision instrument, not a delight vehicle. A bouncing button in Linear would undermine the entire craft argument.
-
-**Signature motions.**
-
-1. **Command palette (⌘K).** The palette opens at `motion-fast` with `ease-enter` — 100ms is deliberately fast enough to feel like the UI responds at the speed of thought. A slower open would break the keyboard-first promise.
-2. **Issue row fade-in.** New issues appearing at the top of a list fade from 0 to 1 over `motion-standard`. No slide, no scale. The issue either exists or it doesn't — the transition is the smallest necessary proof that something changed.
-3. **Cycle completion.** When a cycle completes, the cycle header chip transitions color from Accent Violet to Success Green over `motion-slow` with `ease-standard`. One time, no repeat. This is the one place Linear's UI "celebrates" — and it celebrates by changing a color token, not by animating confetti.
-4. **Reduce motion.** Under `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`, all `motion-*` tokens collapse to `motion-instant`. Fade-ins become instant appearances. The app stays fully functional; the keyboard-first workflow gets no worse.
