SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Design systems often drift across products as tokens, primitives, and APIs diverge, creating inconsistency and maintenance burden.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Establish token governance and unify primitives to ensure cross-product consistency.
  • Audit design-system drift, consolidate variants, and provide migration guidance.
  • Align documentation and examples to reduce onboarding friction and design debt.

Quick Start

Begin by mapping tokens, primitives, and variants, then implement a deprecation plan and update documentation to align all product surfaces.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit design system drift across multiple products?â–¼

To audit design system drift, map divergent tokens, primitives, and component APIs across products to identify inconsistencies. This process highlights variant sprawl and generates a comprehensive drift map for cross-product design governance.

What is the best way to plan deprecation for outdated design tokens?â–¼

Planning token deprecation requires a centralized design-system spec and versioned tokens. You implement a deprecation plan by mapping outdated variants and generating documented migration notes to guide product teams through updates.

Do I need a centralized design-system spec to govern component APIs?â–¼

Yes, a centralized design-system spec is required to govern component APIs effectively. It serves as the foundational reference to align primitives, enforce cross-product consistency, and support drift mapping workflows.

How do I unify design tokens to reduce UI inconsistency?â–¼

You unify design tokens by establishing token governance that aligns versioned tokens and primitives across all product surfaces. This consolidation reduces UI drift and ensures consistent component API implementations.

When should I update documentation for a design system migration?â–¼

Update documentation during design system migration immediately after mapping tokens and primitives. Aligning examples and migration notes reduces onboarding friction and design debt across affected product surfaces.
