Design System

Build, evolve, or audit a design system. Stack-agnostic in principle. Implementation is stack-specific (Figma, Storybook, code library, etc.) but the structure and governance principles transfer.

This skill is for building the system. For applying a system to specific pages or components, use design-standards. For brand visual identity, use brand-identity.

When to use

• Building a design system from scratch
• Auditing an existing system for gaps or fragmentation
• Defining design tokens at the system level
• Structuring a component library
• Establishing contribution and governance models
• Migrating from ad-hoc components to a documented system
