Design System Release 1.0
Pulsegrid
Operational bands that connect live status, evidence, and decisive action. Built for infrastructure, finance, analytics, service operations, and data heavy business products.
Turn live activity into the next clear decision.
- Lead with the live question
- Align proof with action
- Make status structural
- Reserve cobalt for the current path
- Keep a quiet floor
Pulsegrid is retrieved anonymously from AgentKogei's public Design Systems collection. The CLI shows the absolute target and the exact change before it writes anything.
Design System Preview / Rendered evidence
One direction across the whole product.
Preview is evidence, not the Design Contract. It demonstrates direction and evaluated coverage; the Design Contract itself is public, so you can read every word before you add it.

05 / Layout and responsive behavior
Constraints that preserve hierarchy
Connect each live question to evidence and action through aligned bands while keeping the surrounding field quiet.
Maximum 90rem · Reading width 68ch · Columns 1/6/12 · Gutters 1/1.5/2rem
Mobile
320px and wider
Stack decisions, evidence, and actions in source order with a labelled compact navigation trigger.
Tablet
768px and wider
Collapse secondary navigation and place supporting evidence below the principal decision when needed.
Desktop
1120px and wider
Use the twelve column field for one live question, aligned proof, and a ranked next action.
Zoom
200% zoom
Let navigation, labels, metrics, tables, and actions wrap or reflow without clipping.
Reflow
320px reflow
Preserve complete source ordered bands and use labelled overflow only for irreducible data comparison.

07 / Controls
Buttons and links
Use one filled primary action per decision band and keep secondary actions defined, direct, and stable. Use specific destinations, persistent prose underlines, and an explicit current navigation state.08 / Fields
Forms and inputs
Group fields by decision, keep help persistent, and place validation in the same reading path. Keep labels visible, align fields to the decision band, and reserve stable space for help and validation.09 / Containers
Cards and panels
Use a card for one independent task or proof set, not merely to add a border. Use one pulse rail and shared alignment instead of separate containers for every value.10 / Wayfinding
Navigation
Name the current section in text, preserve source order, and keep every destination keyboard reachable.11 / Data
Tables, lists, and data display
Keep service, state, owner, freshness, and action aligned with tabular numerals and explicit labels. Preserve complete comparison in a labelled keyboard reachable scroll region when priority columns cannot fit.| Service | State | Owner · freshness |
|---|---|---|
| Edge gateway | Healthy | Platform · 2 minutes ago |
| Event stream | Investigating | Data operations · 5 minutes ago |
| Billing sync | Recovered | Revenue systems · 12 minutes ago |
Activity summary
- HealthyVerified
Fourteen services are within their response target.
- InvestigatingAction needed
One event stream has delayed processing.
- RecoveredMonitor
Billing sync returned to normal throughput.
12 / Feedback
Badges, alerts, and feedback states
Attach state to the affected service, preserve useful context, and include the next valid recovery. Pair every status color with a label, icon, boundary, or explicit state text.- PendingThe condition is awaiting evaluation
- InvestigatingA named owner is examining the condition
- HealthyThe service meets its verified operating target
- AttentionA condition needs review before failure
- UnavailableA failed requirement blocks the service
Event stream needs investigation
Processing delay exceeded the response target five minutes ago.
Billing sync recovered
Throughput returned to the verified range and monitoring continues.
Activity history unavailable
Existing service status remains visible while history reconnects.
13 / Consequence
Dialogs and destructive actions
Keep the route summary concise, place safe review first, and preserve the originating service context. Repeat the service name, scope, consequence, and true recovery status before the destructive boundary.Confirm response route
Review the service, owner, schedule, and escalation target before activation.
- Escape closes the dialog because activation occurs only after explicit confirmation.
- Return focus to the route control that opened the dialog.
Event stream service
Unresolved local activity history and routing preferences will be removed.
This preview action is reversible and changes only local specimen state.
Event stream service remains available.
13
Motion and reduced motion
Timing supports state changes and never starts without a Builder action.Motion timings
- feedback
- 100 ms
- transition
- 160 ms
- spatial
- 220 ms
Use short motion for response and continuity, allow pulse cells to fill only after action, and never add ambient loops.
Reduced motion
Remove translation, scaling, smooth scrolling, sequential fills, and loops while preserving immediate labelled state changes.
14
Accessibility guidance
Complete accessibility direction for the Design System Preview.Semantics
Use native landmarks, headings, controls, forms, tables, lists, dialogs, and status regions before adding ARIA.
Keyboard
Keep navigation, menus, filters, sorting, selection, overflow regions, row actions, and dialogs operable in logical source order.
Focus
Use a persistent two pixel focus indicator in light, dark, and forced colors modes and restore focus after modal interaction.
Contrast
Measure text, controls, borders, status, meaningful graphics, and focus across both supported color schemes.
Target size
Provide targets at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels with adequate spacing and prefer 44 pixels for important touch actions.
Zoom
Preserve every navigation item, metric, label, table control, and action at 200 percent page zoom and 400 percent browser zoom.
Reflow
Reflow operational bands to 320 CSS pixels without two dimensional page scrolling.
Forced colors
Retain pulse structure, current selection, focus, boundaries, and feedback when system colors replace authored colors.
Status communication
Announce asynchronous outcomes intentionally and never rely on color, position, shape, icon, or motion alone.
Preview
The Design System Preview is a public visual and descriptive specimen of the evaluated direction.
Design Contract
The complete Design Contract is the public raw Markdown installed into a Project.
Evaluation evidence
Evaluation metadata and raw evidence paths remain public so coverage can be inspected.
