# UI Ant Design Foundation

> Use when porting Ant Design's design-token kernel AND its component-consumer plane: seed→derivative→alias token ladder, per-component algorithm recursion, sync getDesignToken parity, dark/compact algorithm deltas, palette index semantics, radius clamps, CSS-var naming/unitless wiring for cssinjs-style style hooks, plus the Table-proven consumption contracts — prepareComponentToken externals, genStyleHooks registration with mergeToken renaming, fixed/RTL shadow machinery, size ladders, nested-border CSS-var protocol, and dual style/layout token consumption.

# Ant Design (ui-ant-design): design-token kernel contracts

## Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is
historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current
project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this
projection and decide what ships.

## Provenance and revision

- Source record: `ui-ant-design`; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
- Recorded revision: `master@977d8e037a4841bb847b8a40ffd1f79b23264826`.
- Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence:
  `references/index.md`.

## Topic map

- Representative topics: Token computation; Sync parity; Alias layer;
  Algorithms; Palettes; CSS vars; Component-token externals; Style-hook
  registration.
- Scope and retrieval questions: `references/index.md#use-this-for`.
- Complete capsule chooser: `references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump`.
- Detailed grouped map: `references/index.md#capsule-map`.
- Source limitations and portability boundaries: `references/index.md#boundaries`.

## Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only
that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do
not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply
this foundation as a procedure.
