This PR contributes 100 DESIGN.md files to the examples collection — one folder per system, each containing a DESIGN.md, a rendered HTML artifact, a PNG screenshot, and a tokens.js payload.
The collection spans roughly a century of visual systems: modernist graphic design (Swiss Style, Bauhaus, Constructivism), first-generation corporate identity programmes (NASA, IBM, Lufthansa, British Rail), interface and computing history (Xerox Star through Palm Pilot and Windows 95), wayfinding systems (NYCTA, London Underground, Schiphol), broadcast identities, technical document standards, vernacular traditions (Pakistani truck art, Jamaican dancehall flyers, Nollywood poster painting), and print processes.
Each DESIGN.md was produced by a forensic-archivist pipeline that traces colour values, typefaces, and layout decisions to primary sources where available, assigns attestation levels (attested, inferred, conventional, unverified), and records unresolved conflicts explicitly using CONTESTED markers rather than silently resolving them. The provenance front matter key makes the factual basis of each file auditable.
All 100 files pass npx @google/design.md lint with zero errors. Known warnings are documented in the README.
