Design Engineering at Vercel

What the source supports
The article describes collaboration across design, production code, performance, copy, and accessibility. It favors outcomes and continued refinement over a fixed toolset or a claim that the first release is perfect.
Thorbis translation
Scope a useful slice, review it in its actual medium, and turn repeated feedback into the system's defaults. Marketing experiments remain separate from operational workbench behavior.
What we are not adopting
No shaders or 3D because another team uses them, no perfection claim, and no expansion of scope merely to demonstrate craft.
Existing owners and review exercises
These are Thorbis applications and review exercises, not replacements for DESIGN.md, COMPONENTS.md, or the owning skill. Linear remains the operational baseline. External advice that conflicts with the constitution stays out.
