palette.json, all outputs are generated - WCAG AA contrast — validated at build time, never ships unreadable text
- 14 Neovim plugin integrations — Telescope, cmp, gitsigns, mini.nvim, noice, trouble, flash, and more
- Treesitter + LSP semantic tokens — full highlighting with 200+ groups
- 11 terminal/CLI targets — Kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm, Ghostty, iTerm2, foot, Windows Terminal, tmux, fzf, bat, delta, lazygit
- Transparent mode — use your terminal's background
