## What it is
A PHP-based boilerplate for creating living style guides that render your site's real CSS against base elements and custom UI patterns. Patterns are added as HTML files and documented with Markdown or HTML, and the guide can also be generated as static HTML.

## Use cases
- create a living style guide for my website
- document UI patterns like buttons and breadcrumbs
- show how my site's CSS styles base HTML elements
- build a design system reference page
- generate a static HTML style guide
- keep designers and developers visually consistent

## When to choose
- your site is PHP-based or you have PHP available
- you want a lightweight, file-based style guide without a build toolchain
- you want to preview your real production stylesheets against base elements and patterns

## When to avoid
- your stack is Node-based and you prefer tools like Storybook or Pattern Lab
- you need component-level style guides tied to a JS framework
- you cannot run PHP on your server

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: templating, documentation, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend, documentation, web-design
- platform: php, self-hosted
