## 🚀 Quick Start

### JavaScript/Node.js

```javascript
// Import the AIOS color system
const { colors, status, headings } = require('./src/utils/aios-colors');

// Use in your code
console.log(headings.h1('Welcome to AIOS!'));
console.log(status.success('Installation complete!'));
console.log(status.tip('Press Enter to continue'));
```

### CSS/Tailwind

```css
/* Import CSS variables */
:root {
  --aios-primary: #8B5CF6;
  --aios-success: #10B981;
  --aios-error: #EF4444;
}

/* Use in your styles */
.button-primary {
  background: var(--aios-primary);
}
```

---

## 📋 Common Patterns

### Welcome Screen
```javascript
console.log(headings.h1('🎉 Welcome to AIOS v4.2 Installer!'));
console.log(colors.info('Let\'s configure your project...\n'));
```

### Interactive Question
```javascript
{
  type: 'list',
  name: 'choice',
  message: colors.primary('Select an option:'),
  choices: [
    { name: colors.highlight('Option 1') + colors.dim(' (recommended)'), value: '1' },
    { name: 'Option 2', value: '2' }
  ]
}
```

### Status Feedback
```javascript
console.log(status.loading('Installing dependencies...'));
// ... async operation ...
console.log(status.success('Dependencies installed!'));
```

### Error Handling
```javascript
try {
  // operation
} catch (error) {
  console.log(status.error('Operation failed'));
  console.log(colors.dim(`  Details: ${error.message}`));
  console.log(status.tip('Try running with --verbose for more info'));
}
```

## 🎯 Usage Rules

### ✅ DO

- Use `colors.primary` for main questions
- Use `status.*` helpers for feedback (includes icons)
- Use `colors.highlight` for key information
- Use `colors.dim` for secondary text
- Always include text indicators with colors (✓, ✗, ⚠️)

### ❌ DON'T

- Don't hardcode hex colors (use the module)
- Don't use red for anything except errors
- Don't use too many colors in one line
- Don't rely solely on color (accessibility)
