To enforce design system foundations consistently, apply canonical rules covering color, typography, icons, layout, spacing, corner shapes, and elevation across web, native apps, and documentation handoffs to prevent visual drift.

Foundational design tokens codify explicit rules for elements like color and typography. You need them during design reviews and audits to establish a single source of truth and prevent drift across multiple projects.

Yes, you can apply local project variations while preserving a unified design language by following supplemental practical rules and local ops mappings that guide how to customize foundations without breaking canonical standards.

To validate color, typography, and layout consistency in a new repository, apply the DADS Foundations Core rules to check your design tokens against the structured documentation format provided for engineering and design teams.

Yes, this approach works for design handoffs by delivering explicit rules, supplemental practical rules, and local ops mappings in a structured documentation format suitable for engineering and product teams to ensure accurate implementation.

The best way to document spacing and elevation rules is to use a structured documentation format that defines explicit canonical rules and local ops mappings applicable across web, native apps, and slides.
