A structured way to keep your design system from becoming a mess of one-off components and hardcoded values. You can audit the whole system for inconsistencies, document a component's variants and states with proper tables, or design a new pattern that actually fits what you already have. The output templates are comprehensive, covering everything from token coverage to accessibility requirements to migration paths. What I like is that it pushes you to think in terms of the system, not just isolated components. If you're maintaining a component library or trying to wrangle legacy UI code into something coherent, this gives you a repeatable process instead of reinventing documentation formats every time.

Components of a Design System

Design Tokens

Atomic values that define the visual language:

  • Colors (brand, semantic, neutral)
  • Typography (scale, weights, line heights)
  • Spacing (scale, component padding)
  • Borders (radius, width)
  • Shadows (elevation levels)
  • Motion (durations, easings)

Components

Reusable UI elements with defined:

  • Variants (primary, secondary, ghost)
  • States (default, hover, active, disabled, loading, error)
  • Sizes (sm, md, lg)
  • Behavior (interactions, animations)
  • Accessibility (ARIA, keyboard)
