The system

Every value on this page is rendered from src/styles/theme.css and the real components. If it looks right here, it's right everywhere. The identity in one line: evidence is the aesthetic. Cobalt acts, green and red judge, mono states machine facts, and everything else stays quiet.

Color

Three jobs, never mixed: surfaces & text (neutrals), action (cobalt), verdicts (green / red / amber). If cobalt ever means "good" or green ever means "click here", the trust vocabulary is broken.

--color-bg Page surface

--color-bg2 Tinted surface: hero wash, chips, author band

--color-line Every border

--color-ink Headings, names, strong

--color-body Card prose (curator takes)

--color-mut Secondary text, nav, labels

--color-faint Tertiary: fine print, counts

--color-acc Cobalt: actions and links only, never a verdict

--color-ok Verdict: alive / vetted

--color-ok-bg Halo behind the green dot

--color-bad Verdict: failing / flagged

--color-bad-bg Halo behind the red dot

--color-warn Verdict: attention, not failure

--color-pick-line Curator's pick border

--color-flag-line Flagged card border

Type

Archivo carries everything human; Outfit (geometric) sets the brand wordmark only; JetBrains Mono is reserved for machine facts like timestamps, install counts, type tags, and key hints. Mono is a signal that a machine wrote it, so never set opinions in mono.

Spacing

A 4px ramp; --space-5 (20px) is the page gutter. Every padding, margin, and gap on the site snaps to a step, so nothing lands on an in-between value. Reach for a token, never a raw px.

--space-0 Micro: kbd / tag inset

--space-1 Icon gaps, tight pairs

--space-2 Chip interior, inline gaps

--space-3 Default gap, card padding

--space-4 Card interior, grid gutters

--space-5 The page gutter

--space-6 Group spacing

--space-7 Section padding

--space-8 Section breaks, band padding

--space-9 Hero + page-bottom breathing room

One primary button per view. Ghost is the paid ask, and it must never look louder than the free path.

The card

The atom of the registry: name, type tag, then the text (a quoted take only after a real hands-on audit, a plain summary until then), then the evidence row. Four states. Flagged cards stay published; a directory that hides failures is an ad.

“Read-only mode is genuinely read-only. Schema introspection matched a live psql session exactly.”

serena MCP server

A semantic code toolkit built on language servers: symbol-level search, reference tracing, and precise edits instead of whole-file rewrites.

notion-bridge-mcp MCP server

“OAuth token refresh loop in 2 of the last 5 checks. Author notified Jul 9, delisted Jul 16 if unresolved.”

Voice

The honest inspector: states findings, never sells. Verdicts come with dates and counts; criticism comes with a deadline and a path back.

Write this

“Tested July 8. Passed 4 of 5 checks. Here's the one it failed.”
“Does what it says. Says less than it does.”
“Author notified Jul 9, delisted Jul 16 if unresolved.”

Never this

“The ultimate supercharged MCP server ⚡🚀”
“Trusted by thousands of developers!”
Any verdict without a date attached.

Motion & elevation

One easing (--ease-out), one speed (--duration-hover). Cards and buttons lift 1–2px on hover with their token shadow; nothing else moves or casts. Every lift is disabled under prefers-reduced-motion.
