FG—01
Colophon
This is the document about the document. The field guide is a survey, not a museum — it gets revised when the territory moves, and this page records how it is built, who tends it, and what changed when.
Maintained by
Nick Sloggett. Every opinion in the guide has one name attached to it on purpose.
How it’s built
Next.js, with the entire guide expressed as a typed TypeScript content model — no markdown files, so every cross-reference is checked at build time. The specimens are live React components, not screenshots. Set in Inter by Rasmus Andersson.
The taxonomy
FG—01 is the guide itself; everything inside it carries a citable code — chapters are CH—, principles PR—, patterns PTN—, worksheets WS—. The codes exist so a design review can say “PTN—14” instead of “that degradation thing.”
