+## 🎨 DESIGN SYSTEM RULES (CRITICAL!)
+
+> **🔒 STYLE LOCKED** - All UI must use the design system. ESLint enforces these rules.
+
+### Color System (Only 6 Base Colors!)
+
+All colors in the system derive from 6 primary hex values in `design-system.css`:
+- `--color-primary` (#0077B6) - Brand Blue
+- `--color-success` (#2CA18E) - Success Green  
+- `--color-warning` (#D9A12C) - Warning Amber
+- `--color-danger` (#A12C40) - Danger Red
+- `--color-purple` (#2C40A1) - Purple accent
+- `--color-gray-base` (#667085) - Neutral gray
+
+### Tailwind Color Classes
+
+**✅ USE ONLY THESE** (Tailwind defaults are DISABLED):
+```
+brand-*    (50-950) - Primary blue scale
+gray-*     (25-950) - Neutral scale
+success-*  (25-950) - Green scale  
+error-*    (25-950) - Red scale
+warning-*  (25-950) - Amber scale
+purple-*   (25-950) - Purple scale
+```
+
+**❌ BANNED** (These will NOT work):
+```
+blue-*, red-*, green-*, emerald-*, amber-*, indigo-*, 
+pink-*, rose-*, sky-*, teal-*, cyan-*, etc.
+```
+
+### Styling Rules
+
+| ✅ DO | ❌ DON'T |
+|-------|---------|
+| `className="bg-brand-500"` | `className="bg-blue-500"` |
+| `className="text-gray-700"` | `className="text-[#333]"` |
+| `<Button variant="primary">` | `<button className="...">` |
+| Import from `../../icons` | Import from `@heroicons/*` |
+| Use CSS variables `var(--color-primary)` | Hardcode hex values |
+
+---
+
+## 🧩 COMPONENT RULES (ESLint Enforced!)
+
+> **Never use raw HTML elements** - Use design system components.
+
+### Required Component Mappings
+
+| HTML Element | Required Component | Import Path |
+|--------------|-------------------|-------------|
+| `<button>` | `Button` or `IconButton` | `components/ui/button/Button` |
+| `<input type="text/email/password">` | `InputField` | `components/form/input/InputField` |
+| `<input type="checkbox">` | `Checkbox` | `components/form/input/Checkbox` |
+| `<input type="radio">` | `Radio` | `components/form/input/Radio` |
+| `<select>` | `Select` or `SelectDropdown` | `components/form/Select` |
+| `<textarea>` | `TextArea` | `components/form/input/TextArea` |
+
+### Component Quick Reference
+
+```tsx
+// Buttons
+<Button variant="primary" tone="brand">Save</Button>
+<Button variant="outline" tone="danger">Delete</Button>
+<IconButton icon={<CloseIcon />} variant="ghost" title="Close" />
+
+// Form Inputs
+<InputField type="text" label="Name" value={val} onChange={setVal} />
+<Select options={opts} onChange={setVal} />
+<Checkbox label="Accept" checked={val} onChange={setVal} />
+<Switch label="Enable" checked={val} onChange={setVal} />
+
+// Display
+<Badge tone="success" variant="soft">Active</Badge>
+<Alert variant="error" title="Error" message="Failed" />
+<Spinner size="md" />
+```
+
+### Icon Rules
+
+**Always import from central location:**
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT
+import { PlusIcon, CloseIcon, CheckCircleIcon } from '../../icons';
+
+// ❌ BANNED - External icon libraries
+import { XIcon } from '@heroicons/react/24/outline';
+import { Trash } from 'lucide-react';
+```
+
+**Icon sizing:**
+- `className="w-4 h-4"` - In buttons, badges
+- `className="w-5 h-5"` - Standalone
+- `className="w-6 h-6"` - Headers, features

+## 🎨 Color System (CRITICAL!)
+
+### Only 6 Base Colors in Entire System
+
+All colors derive from 6 primary hex values defined in `design-system.css`:
+
+| Token | Hex | Purpose |
+|-------|-----|---------|
+| `--color-primary` | #0077B6 | Brand Blue - main CTA, links |
+| `--color-success` | #2CA18E | Success Green - confirmations |
+| `--color-warning` | #D9A12C | Warning Amber - alerts |
+| `--color-danger` | #A12C40 | Danger Red - errors, destructive |
+| `--color-purple` | #2C40A1 | Purple - premium features |
+| `--color-gray-base` | #667085 | Neutral gray - text, borders |
+
+### Tailwind Color Utilities
+
+**⚠️ Tailwind default colors are DISABLED!** Only use:
+
+```css
+/* ✅ AVAILABLE */
+brand-50 through brand-950    /* Primary blue scale */
+gray-25 through gray-950      /* Neutral scale */
+success-25 through success-950 /* Green scale */
+error-25 through error-950     /* Red scale */
+warning-25 through warning-950 /* Amber scale */
+purple-25 through purple-950   /* Purple scale */
+
+/* ❌ DISABLED - These will NOT work */
+blue-*, red-*, green-*, emerald-*, amber-*, indigo-*, 
+pink-*, rose-*, sky-*, teal-*, cyan-*, etc.
+```
+
+### Usage Examples
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ CORRECT
+<div className="bg-brand-500 text-white">Primary Button</div>
+<div className="text-gray-700 bg-gray-50">Card content</div>
+<Badge tone="success">Active</Badge>
+<Alert variant="error" message="Failed" />
+
+// ❌ WRONG
+<div className="bg-blue-500">...</div>     // Default blue disabled
+<div className="bg-[#0693e3]">...</div>   // Hardcoded hex
+<div style={{ color: '#ff0000' }}>...</div> // Inline style
