Documentation and guidelines

Good docs tell people when and how to use each part.

📖 Key ideas

Each component page explains purpose, anatomy, variants, do and don't examples.
Content guidelines cover voice, tone and button wording.
Accessibility notes list keyboard and screen reader behaviour.
Code examples show the real import and usage.
A searchable docs site (e.g. built with Storybook or Zeroheight) helps adoption.

💡 Real-life example: Like the manual that comes with a mixer grinder: which jar to use for what, and what never to put in it.
