Design System Patterns
When to Use This Skill
- •Architecting a multi-brand theming system for a product suite.
- •Implementing a comprehensive light/dark mode switch with persistent storage.
- •Establishing a design-to-code workflow utilizing Figma tokens for component properties.
- •Creating a hierarchical structure for design tokens, from primitive to component-specific values.
Pro Tips
- •Prioritize a clear token naming convention (e.g.,
color-surface-primary,font-size-body-md) to ensure maintainability and discoverability across large teams. - •When building theming, always consider accessibility from the outset, including high-contrast modes and reduced motion preferences, rather than as an afterthought.
- •Integrate automation for token generation and component documentation. Tools like Style Dictionary or Storybook can drastically improve consistency and developer experience.
