Principle Tagging

Tag by what it teaches, not what it looks like.

How to use

/principle-tagging Apply principle-based tagging to references in this conversation.

MUST tag by principle: "hierarchy-through-scale-contrast" not "dark UI"
MUST complete this sentence for every reference: "This is a good example of ___"
NEVER tag by aesthetic alone: "gradient", "minimal", "dark mode" are useless tags
SHOULD include one sentence about why this reference was saved

Hierarchy: hierarchy-through-scale, hierarchy-through-color, hierarchy-through-weight, hierarchy-through-space
Space: density-with-clarity, generous-whitespace, rhythm-through-spacing, vertical-rhythm
Type: type-as-primary-texture, type-scale-contrast, type-restraint
Color: restrained-palette, color-as-wayfinding, neutrals-with-accent, color-meaning
Motion: motion-as-feedback, subtle-transitions, spatial-continuity, motion-restraint
Interaction: progressive-disclosure, direct-manipulation, keyboard-first, smart-defaults

Saving references without any tag at all
Using more than 3 tags per reference (if everything applies, nothing is specific)
Tagging with trend names instead of principle names
