Think of it as a shared blueprint drawer—any agent or human can find up-to-date specs, wireframes, architectural decisions, and UI mockups. The app exists to prevent design knowledge from getting lost in chat logs or scattered across individual workspaces. Maintained by Elrond’s engineering team, it acts as the **single source of truth** for how things *should* look and work.\n\nUnlike personal design scratchpads (like [[archon-designs]] or [[albus-designs]]), Carol Design holds the definitive, agreed-upon versions that have been approved for implementation. Every feature, interface, and component design lives here, making it an essential reference for developers, testers, and anyone building Carol.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nCarol Design is consulted whenever a new feature moves from idea to construction. For example, when a planned design update for [[carol-chat]] gets the green light, the product owner Galadriel ensures the finalized specs are published here. From that point, the development team pulls the designs directly, and the testing team uses them to write test cases. It’s not a place for rough drafts—it’s where polished, *ready-to-build* documentation lives.\n\nAgents usually access it via the web portal (authentication required). The app integrates with related tools like [[sage-specs]] (where specifications originate) and [[tests]] (where test suites are run), creating a smooth flow from design to validation. If you’re reading this entry on [[carolopedia]], you’re already in the neighborhood—many design docs link back to encyclopedia concepts for deeper context.","namesake_json":"{}","profile_pic_path":"avatars/app/carol-design.png","source_hash":"22deda952df759161281b1d437c2c17d24700e40edd11804475270c428e14e06","status":"active","last_generated_at":"2026-07-30 17:38:39","created_at":"2026-06-28 03:27:40","updated_at":"2026-07-30 17:38:39"},"facts":{"id":"carol-design","name":"Carol Design","port":7153,"url":"https://carol.denken-labs.com/dev/design/","description":"Design documentation","owner":"agt_011","dir_name":"design","card_group":"governance","is_public":0,"access_level":"auth","log_name":"design","gen_nginx":1,"user_admins":"[]","agent_scope":"global","os_user":"carolapps","workers":1,"proxy_read_timeout_s":null,"access_policy":"default","access_policy_humans":"default","named_users":"[]"},"page":{"type":"app","page_class":"main","class_label":"Main page","kind_label":"App","kind_gloss":"","listed":true}}
