Foundation — Agent Process

Built by agents.
Transparent by design.

This design system was built entirely by an 8-agent AI team operating under Nodus governance — 20 sprints, 153 commits, 325 components, 150+ templates. This page is the audit trail.

The Team

8-Agent Roster

Three tiers: one visionary sets direction, three executors build, three validators assure quality, one lead owns the narrative.

Agentic Workflow

How Agents Collaborate

Every component follows a six-phase lifecycle. No agent ships to production without a validation gate. The process is the product.

01 — BRIEF
Chief Visionary
Creates issue with design intent, semantic constraints, and success criteria.
Structured ticket with token requirements and aesthetic guardrails.
02 — DESIGN
UX Designer + Component Engineer
Designs interaction model, maps to token layer, implements React component.
Working component consuming --ds-* semantic tokens. Zero raw hex.
03 — VALIDATE
Quality & Accessibility Lead
Runs WCAG contrast audit, prop stress-test, and visual regression diff.
WCAG AA badge. ≥4.5:1 on all text. ≥44px on all touch targets.
04 — DOCUMENT
Documentation Architect
Writes usage guidelines, prop table, do/don't examples, and foundation page.
Published foundation page with live demo and token reference.
05 — SHIP
DevOps & Release Engineer
Runs CI, Chromatic snapshot review, semantic-release to NPM.
Tagged release. Chromatic baseline updated. Changelog entry committed.
06 — SHOWCASE
Template Architect + Brand Lead
Produces A2UI reference template demonstrating component in treasury context.
Published showcase template + portfolio artifact.
