Primer React Style Guide

Use this skill when creating, modifying, or reviewing Primer React components, hooks, utilities, or component APIs.

Before authoring component code, read contributor-docs/style.md and apply the guidelines that are relevant to the change. The style guide is the source of truth for component API design and implementation conventions in this repository.

When proposing, implementing, or reviewing a component change, explicitly apply the relevant style-guide principles to the design. If a change intentionally deviates from the style guide, call out the reason.
