## FAQ

### Why is this separate from UI kits?

Kits are things you install in a product UI. This shelf is workflow and diagram tools, not Button components.

### Do you list VS Code extensions?

Only if they are catalogued. Coding agents and AI IDEs have their own category.

### What is the Diagrams filter?

Whiteboards and diagram tools absorbed into this parent shelf.

### Is this an exhaustive engineering directory?

No. It is the engineering-adjacent slice we keep next to the design and AI catalog.
