Inside Mentha, Mintlify's new design system
Blog post from Mintlify
Mintlify introduced Mentha, a new design system intended to give designers, engineers, and AI agents a consistent foundation for building products while preserving human design judgment for final decisions. The system reduces unnecessary component sizes and variants, favoring reusable patterns and carefully adding new options only when repeated needs justify them, which aims to prevent inconsistent interfaces and accelerate familiar work. Mentha also includes interaction and accessibility rules, such as avoiding hover-only actions and reserving pointer cursors for links, alongside a revised color palette that separates cool mint brand colors in product interfaces from green success states. After previously avoiding shadows, the team added four contextual elevation levels to create depth. Mintlify says detailed component constraints and instructions help agents produce more accurate starting points, although humans remain responsible for problem framing, craft, iteration, and user feedback. Mentha is now live in Mintlify’s dashboard and is planned for expansion into published documentation components.
