📋 Decision Context

Question:

Theme system docs scattered — AI agents and devs need quick copy-paste reference for theme variables. How to improve discoverability?

Task: Not specified


🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

B) Create single-page THEME_CHEATSHEET.md + update ai-design-tokens + theme-runtime README

Options Considered:

  1. A) Expand existing css-variables.md only
  2. B) Create single-page THEME_CHEATSHEET.md + update ai-design-tokens + theme-runtime README
  3. C) Add inline JSDoc to every theme variable

💭 Reasoning

ROOT CAUSE: css-variables.md is comprehensive but long. ai-design-guidelines has good patterns but no quick copy-paste. ai-design-tokens.const.ts had lightTintedBackgrounds example with hardcoded #333/#666. FIX: (1) Created THEME_CHEATSHEET.md with one-page copy-paste: core variables, background→text mapping, legacy aliases, glass effects, common patterns (card, button, input, tinted card), anti-patterns. (2) Updated ai-design-tokens lightTintedBackgrounds to use var(--ux-text-primary). (3) Added theme-runtime README quick-start. (4) Linked cheatsheet from theme-system.index, ai-design-guidelines, best-practices, AGENTS.md. (5) Added --ux-gradient-glass theme-aware in ux-smart-theme-utilities.
