Design Systems & Brand Guidelines
Public design systems, system-building guides and checklists, brand manuals from real organisations, and reference works that name UI parts correctly.
For an agent. Look here when you must set up or judge a system rather than build one screen: token structure, component coverage, naming, accessibility checks, or how a real brand documents itself.
