Design System Alignment

A design system is a shared language. When components are consistent, accessible, and well-documented, every new screen starts from a strong foundation. This skill ensures design work aligns with existing systems or builds new ones with the right properties.

When to Use

• A design system already exists and new work must align with it
• Building new components for an existing system
• Creating a new design system from scratch
• Auditing an existing system for consistency or accessibility
• Defining or modifying design tokens
