Digital Production Factory 276ed71f31 Initial commit: Clean DSS implementation
Migrated from design-system-swarm with fresh git history.
Old project history preserved in /home/overbits/apps/design-system-swarm

Core components:
- MCP Server (Python FastAPI with mcp 1.23.1)
- Claude Plugin (agents, commands, skills, strategies, hooks, core)
- DSS Backend (dss-mvp1 - token translation, Figma sync)
- Admin UI (Node.js/React)
- Server (Node.js/Express)
- Storybook integration (dss-mvp1/.storybook)

Self-contained configuration:
- All paths relative or use DSS_BASE_PATH=/home/overbits/dss
- PYTHONPATH configured for dss-mvp1 and dss-claude-plugin
- .env file with all configuration
- Claude plugin uses ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} for portability

Migration completed: $(date)
🤖 Clean migration with full functionality preserved

DSS Corporate Terminology Glossary

Quick Reference: Enterprise terminology for the Design System Swarm


Atomic Design Hierarchy (5 Levels)

Level Term Description Examples
1 Tokens Design variables - raw values --color-primary, --spacing-md, --font-size-base
2 Primitives Base UI elements - indivisible Button, Input, Icon, Badge, Label
3 Components Composite UI - combining primitives FormField (label+input+error), Card (image+title+actions)
4 Layouts Page structure patterns PageShell, DashboardGrid, SidebarLayout
5 Views Complete screens with content TokenExplorer, FigmaSync, ComponentAudit

Architecture Layers (7 Layers)

Layer Name Code Modules Responsibility
1 Core storage/, settings.py Configuration, schemas, database, event bus
2 Ingestion ingest/ File parsing, token extraction (CSS, Figma, JSON, Tailwind)
3 Validation validators/ Schema checking, linting, error detection
4 State models/ Token models, stores, data flow
5 Processing tools/, analyze/ Transformations, analysis, style-dictionary
6 Presentation storybook/, admin-ui/ UI components, documentation, Storybook
7 Integration api/, MCP server APIs, MCP tools, webhooks, CLI
