Summary

Completed the TODO placeholder in the Documentation section of philosophy.md.

Changes

Added documentation principles that align with the existing philosophy:

  • Comprehensive yet concise: Explain the "why" behind design decisions
  • Clear examples: Demonstrate common use cases for every component
  • API references: Include type information, default values, and accessibility notes
  • Migration guides: Provide guidance when introducing breaking changes
  • Copy-pasteable snippets: Ensure examples work out of the box
  • Transparency: Document known limitations and edge cases
  • Focused examples: One concept at a time to reduce cognitive load
  • Interactive playgrounds: Enable hands-on exploration where possible
  • Accessibility documentation: Clarify what the component does automatically vs. developer responsibility

Motivation

The philosophy document establishes important guiding principles for Radix Primitives. Having the Documentation section filled in helps contributors and maintainers understand the expected standards for component documentation.

These guidelines are especially relevant given the accessibility-first approach of Radix, where clear documentation of accessibility features is crucial.

Filled in the TODO section for Documentation principles with guidelines for:
- Comprehensive yet concise documentation
- Clear examples for common use cases
- API references with type info and accessibility notes
- Migration guides for breaking changes
- Interactive playgrounds for exploration
- Transparent documentation of limitations

These principles align with the existing philosophy around developer
experience and accessibility.
