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

Use this skill when a project needs aesthetic coherence across many small decisions and the user has not yet articulated direction beyond a vague feeling.
