Changelog

Notable changes to @protocore/pds, newest first. The system follows semantic versioning — breaking changes land only in a major release.

v1.6.9Initial release2026-07-03

The first public release of the Protocore Design System — the complete web library, theming, and machine-readable docs.

101 components across layout, typography, inputs, media, cards, data-display, feedback, overlay, navigation, charts, and utilities.
6 hooks — useTheme, useMediaQuery, useControllableState, useCopyToClipboard, useReducedMotion, and useDensity.
A frozen component contract: variant / size / tone vocabulary, className passthrough, asChild polymorphism, and full keyboard a11y.

@protocore/pds-mobile (preview): 24 core components — the React Native sibling library (Button, IconButton, Text, Heading, Display, Card, Input, Field, Switch, Badge, Tag, Chip, StatusDot, Callout, InlineMessage, Spinner, LoadingSkeleton, EmptyState, and more), built on Pressable / StyleSheet with a matching PdsProvider and theme.
No device-level QA yet — the API mirrors the web components but the package ships as a preview. See Installation and the Mobile switch on each component page.

Dark and light themes on a shared token layer, dark-first by design.
Five curated accents (green, blue, red, amber, violet), a compact density mode, and environment chrome — all driven by data-* attributes.

An optional @protocore/pds/charts subpath with recharts as an opt-in peer, so chart-free apps carry no chart dependency.

Machine-readable docs — llms.txt, llms-full.txt, the /ai/registry.json and /ai/<category>/<slug>.md endpoints, and Copy-for-LLM on every page.
An MCP server, @protocore/pds-mcp, exposing the system as tools. See Building with AI.
