Design system documentation aimed at the whole team, not only engineers.
Definition
A documentation platform that connects design files, code components and written guidance in one place, intended to be readable by designers, writers and product managers as well as developers.
Craft convention. True because the industry converged on it. Breaking it costs familiarity, not correctness.

Good for
- Cross-functional documentation
