Design System Starter

If you're building a design system from scratch or trying to wrangle inconsistent UI into something maintainable, this gives you the scaffolding. You get design token structures (colors, spacing, typography) in W3C format, component templates following atomic design, and WCAG 2.1 accessibility patterns baked in. The bundled resources include actual component examples and a design system audit checklist. It's opinionated about things like semantic color tokens and 4px/8px spacing scales, which saves you from decision paralysis but means you'll adapt it rather than use it verbatim. Best for React projects that need dark mode theming and want CSS variables or ThemeProvider setup without researching token hierarchies yourself.

Design System Starter

Build robust, scalable design systems that ensure visual consistency and exceptional user experiences.

Quick Start

Just describe what you need:

Create a design system for my React app with dark mode support

That's it. The skill provides tokens, components, and accessibility guidelines.

Triggers

Trigger	Example
Create design system	"Create a design system for my app"
Design tokens	"Set up design tokens for colors and spacing"
Component architecture	"Design component structure using atomic design"
Accessibility	"Ensure WCAG 2.1 compliance for my components"
Dark mode	"Implement theming with dark mode support"

Quick Reference

Task	Output
Design tokens	Color, typography, spacing, shadows JSON
Component structure	Atomic design hierarchy (atoms, molecules, organisms)
Theming	CSS variables or ThemeProvider setup
Accessibility	WCAG 2.1 AA compliant patterns
Documentation	Component docs with props, examples, a11y notes
