What it provides

Adding intility-bifrost to your plugins list gives you:

• Bifrost design system - Colors, typography, and component styling matching the Intility design system
• Light/dark mode - Automatic theme switching with Bifrost color variables
• Theme colors - teal, purple, pink, yellow (set via primary in your palette config)
• Typography - Satoshi for headings, Open Sans for body, JetBrains Mono for code
• 23 markdown extensions - Admonitions, code highlighting, tabs, mermaid diagrams, math (MathJax), emoji, task lists, and more
• 13 theme features - Instant navigation, search suggestions, code copy buttons, etc.
• Admonition icons - Custom FontAwesome icons for all admonition types

All defaults are injected only when the user hasn't provided their own config, so you can override anything by setting it explicitly in your mkdocs.yml.
