+# Vue Material Kit Design System
+
+This is a fork/derivative of [Creative Tim's Vue Material Kit 2](https://www.creative-tim.com/product/vue-material-kit), source found [here](https://github.com/creativetimofficial/vue-material-kit).
+
+I am going to iterate over it with an AI agent and extract styles and functionality into a design system that can be plugged in to another project. The end goal is to have a working directory than can be handed off to another AI agent that is used when building a new site to keep a consistent and clean design.
