- Defines component contracts (props, variants, states) for buttons, inputs, cards, modals, alerts, tables
- Specifies accessibility rules (focus, labels, keyboard)
- Documents grid, breakpoints, and content widths
- Includes 2+ gold-standard examples mapped to the rubric
# Design System Architecture — Syllabus ## Scope This Skill Pack trains an agent to produce a **design system specification** that is implementation-ready: tokens, component contracts, accessibility, layout, and IA rules. ## Prerequisites - Familiarity with design tokens and component APIs. - Ability to produce structured Markdown and tables. ## Deliverables 1. **Token table** — all categories (color, typography, spacing, radii, shadows, z-index, motion). 2. **Component matrix** — each core component with variants and states. 3. **Accessibility rules** — focus, contrast, labels, keyboard. 4. **Grid and breakpoints** — content widths, rails, mobile behavior. 5. **IA templates** — page hierarchy and content density rules. 6. **SemVer + changelog** — versioning and upgrade guidance. 7. **Gold-standard examples** — at least 2, mapped to rubric dimensions.
