Task: Create Design System Components

Objective

Design and implement a cohesive set of reusable UI components that form a comprehensive design system, ensuring consistency, accessibility, and scalability across the application.

Prerequisites

Brand guidelines or visual design direction
Technical stack information
Existing components or patterns (if available)
Accessibility requirements

Process Steps

1. Design System Foundation

Define design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, etc.)
Establish naming conventions
Define component categories (atoms, molecules, organisms)
Create design principles and guidelines

2. Core Components Identification

Identify primitive components (buttons, inputs, etc.)
Identify composite components (cards, modals, etc.)
Identify layout components (grids, containers, etc.)
Identify specialized components (data tables, charts, etc.)

3. Component Specification

Define component props and variants
Document component states and behaviors
Define accessibility requirements
Document responsive behavior

4. Implementation Strategy

Determine component architecture
Define styling approach
Plan component documentation
Establish testing strategy

5. Component Implementation

Create base components
Implement variants and states
Add accessibility features
Ensure responsive behavior
Add proper documentation

6. Design System Documentation

Create usage guidelines
Document component API
Provide examples and patterns
Create visual documentation

7. Testing & Validation

Test components across devices and browsers
Validate accessibility compliance
Perform visual regression testing
Validate component API usability

IDE-Specific Considerations

Implementation in IDE Environments

Structure components for easy discovery and usage
Create appropriate folder structure
Implement consistent patterns across components
Ensure proper typing and documentation

Deliverables

Design system foundation (tokens, principles)
Core component library
Component documentation
Usage examples
Testing suite

Success Criteria

Components follow consistent patterns
Components are accessible
Components are responsive
Components are well-documented
Components are properly tested
Components are easy to use and extend
Design system is cohesive and scalable
