Design System Architecture

Create consistent, scalable visual languages that evolve gracefully

This skill provides frameworks for building design systems that scale from single projects to entire organizations.

Core Principles

1. Tokens Are Truth

Design decisions should be encoded as tokens (variables). Nothing should be hard-coded.

2. Constraints Enable Creativity

A good design system provides guardrails that speed up decisions, not slow them down.

3. Components Over Compositions

Build primitives that compose into anything, not specific layouts that restrict.
