## What it is
Style Guide Guide is a Jekyll-based boilerplate for creating a custom style guide for your organization's design system. It provides starter information architecture, hooks, and links to resources and inspiration for building your own style guide.

## Use cases

## When to choose

- your team uses Jekyll and Pattern Lab
- you want a proven structure for documenting components, principles, and contribution guidelines

## When to avoid

- you prefer a modern JavaScript-based toolchain
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
