Design System Patterns

Master design system architecture to create consistent, maintainable, and scalable UI foundations across web and mobile applications.

When to Use This Skill

  • Creating design tokens for colors, typography, spacing, and shadows
  • Implementing light/dark theme switching with CSS custom properties
  • Building multi-brand theming systems
  • Architecting component libraries with consistent APIs
  • Establishing design-to-code workflows with Figma tokens
  • Creating semantic token hierarchies (primitive, semantic, component)
  • Setting up design system documentation and guidelines

Core Capabilities

1. Design Tokens

  • Primitive tokens (raw values: colors, sizes, fonts)
  • Semantic tokens (contextual meaning: text-primary, surface-elevated)
  • Component tokens (specific usage: button-bg, card-border)
  • Token naming conventions and organization
  • Multi-platform token generation (CSS, iOS, Android)

2. Theming Infrastructure

  • CSS custom properties architecture
  • Theme context providers in React
  • Dynamic theme switching
  • System preference detection (prefers-color-scheme)
  • Persistent theme storage
  • Reduced motion and high contrast modes

3. Component Architecture

  • Compound component patterns
  • Polymorphic components (as prop)
  • Variant and size systems
  • Slot-based composition
  • Headless UI patterns
  • Style props and responsive variants

4. Token Pipeline

  • Figma to code synchronization
  • Style Dictionary configuration
  • Token transformation and formatting
  • CI/CD integration for token updates

Quick Start

// Design tokens with CSS custom properties
const tokens = {
  colors: {
    // Primitive tokens
    gray: {
      50: "#fafafa",
      100: "#f5f5f5",
      900: "#171717",
    },
    blue: {
      500: "#3b82f6",
      600: "#2563eb",
    },
  },
  // Semantic tokens (reference primitives)
  semantic: {
    light: {
      "text-primary": "var(--color-gray-900)",
      "text-secondary": "var(--color-gray-600)",
      "surface-default": "var(--color-white)",
      "surface-elevated": "var(--color-gray-50)",
      "border-default": "var(--color-gray-200)",
      "interactive-primary": "var(--color-blue-500)",
    },
    dark: {
      "text-primary": "var(--color-gray-50)",
      "text-secondary": "var(--color-gray-400)",
      "surface-default": "var(--color-gray-900)",
      "surface-elevated": "var(--color-gray-800)",
      "border-default": "var(--color-gray-700)",
      "interactive-primary": "var(--color-blue-400)",
    },
  },
};

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

  1. Name Tokens by Purpose: Use semantic names (text-primary) not visual descriptions (dark-gray)
  2. Maintain Token Hierarchy: Primitives > Semantic > Component tokens
  3. Document Token Usage: Include usage guidelines with token definitions
  4. Version Tokens: Treat token changes as API changes with semver
  5. Test Theme Combinations: Verify all themes work with all components
  6. Automate Token Pipeline: CI/CD for Figma-to-code synchronization
  7. Provide Migration Paths: Deprecate tokens gradually with clear alternatives

Common Issues

  • Token Sprawl: Too many tokens without clear hierarchy
  • Inconsistent Naming: Mixed conventions (camelCase vs kebab-case)
  • Missing Dark Mode: Tokens that don't adapt to theme changes
  • Hardcoded Values: Using raw values instead of tokens
  • Circular References: Tokens referencing each other in loops
  • Platform Gaps: Tokens missing for some platforms (web but not mobile)
