Kitchen Sink Design System

Build every component for real, wire it into a single sink page, and let the page prove the design system works.

Core Philosophy

  • Source of truth — The sink page is the canonical reference for design direction. If it's not in the sink, it doesn't exist.
  • No placeholders — Every component rendered on the sink page must be a real, importable module. Never use draft placeholders or TODO stubs.
  • Layered semantics — Every component follows a base + variant architecture. Shared structure in the base, visual differences in the variant layer.
  • Progressive disclosure — Start with core primitives, layer in app-level components, finish with data display. Each tier builds on the last.
  • Design-forward — Define design direction in the sink first; production pages consume what the sink establishes.
  • Agent-readable — The design system should be equally consumable by human developers and AI coding agents. Semantic tokens, typed props, and explicit contracts over implicit conventions.
  • Framework-native — Respect each framework's idioms. Don't impose React conventions on a Hugo project or vice versa.

Phase 0: Detect Stack

Before anything else, identify the project's framework and lock in the implementation strategy. If you cannot see the file tree, stop and request it.
