Mimus polyglottos

Field guide

Like its namesake, Mockingbird learns a familiar call and answers in kind. Real API shapes, stateful behavior, right inside your tests.

The markFavicon, header, README.
Northern mockingbird on a fruiting branch: gray above, pale below, two white bars on the wing, a long tail.
Plate IThe specimen stays on paper in both themes.
The sentence

Familiar calls. Faithful echoes.

That sentence is IDENTITY in sites/docs/src/lib/content.ts. The GitHub README, llms.txt, and the first line of every package on npm are generated or checked from it. The written rules are the Design guide, the same file GitHub renders.

Color

Drawn from the bird, not from a template.

These are the live tokens. Switch theme and the chips follow. The hex values in the Design guide are the light theme.

  • Paper--bgThe notebook
  • Ink--fgText, wing bars
  • Live oak--accentA filled action
  • Clay--clayThe song. Labels, the current page
  • Sage--sagePlumage. A strong border
  • Eye--eyeOne highlight. Never a fill
Type

A serif for the entry. A sans for the tools.

Familiar calls. Faithful echoes.

Mimus polyglottos — many-tongued mimic.

Interface text is Avenir Next, then the system sans. Code stays in the system mono. No webfont is loaded.

Motifs

Wing bars, specimens, annotation.

Two rules, thick then thin. The header, the footer, and a prose heading all close with them.

Specimen

A paper rectangle. Almost no radius, no lift. Hover draws a clay bar on the leading edge.
