# Spec: Utilities (Layer 08)

File: `src/layers/08-utilities.css`

## Purpose

Small, single-purpose helpers for text, visibility, and accessibility. The escape hatch for edge cases that don't warrant a data-attribute.

## Scope

### In scope
- Text alignment helpers
- Visually-hidden (screen reader only)
- Visibility toggles
- Print styles
- `prefers-reduced-motion` resets
- `prefers-contrast` adjustments

### Out of scope
- Layout utilities (→ layouts layer)
- Spacing/sizing utilities (use tokens directly)
- Color utilities (use tokens directly)

## Constraints

- This layer should be minimal — most needs should be met by semantic elements + data attributes
- References only semantic aliases from `01-tokens.css`
