Authoring workflow for
link guidelines.

Every short link, deep link, and bio page must define foundations, states, anatomy, and testable accessibility criteria. Avoid ambiguous labels and one-off spacing.

Semantic Token Rules

Do not use raw hex values. All link surfaces must map to color.surface.base, color.text.secondary, and space.* scales to ensure system-wide consistency.

// Invalid
color: #ffffff;
// Required
color: var(--color-surface-muted);

Explicit Link States

Document default, hover, focus-visible, active, expired, password-protected and redirect-pending states for every short link.

Focus Visiblelynqo.to/launch
Expiredlynqo.to/old

Testable Criteria

Target WCAG 2.2 AA. Keyboard-first interactions and clear contrast constraints are strictly required across every bio surface.

Edge Case Handling

Behavior must specify responsive scaling, long-content overflow, expired redirects, empty-state presentation and known click-density metrics.

Quality Gates / Standards

Quality gates & standards.

Non-negotiable requirements before shipping any short link, redirect, or bio surface.

Foundations

  • Verify Switzer font scale rules.
  • Confirm space.* token application.
  • Check color palette mapping constraints.

Component Rules

Crucial
  • Define anatomy and structural variants.
  • Include all interactive states (hover/focus).
  • Specify pointer, keyboard, and touch logic.
  • Document anti-patterns and migration.

Accessibility

  • Every rule must be testable in code.
  • Focus indicators must never be hidden.
  • Validate text contrast ratios against background.
  • Ensure semantic HTML tag usage.
