What does this do

Design systems in Figma often lack proper structure, variable bindings, accessibility checks, and component descriptions — making them hard to maintain and invisible to AI agents. Alternatively, you need to build one but don't know the best practices for tokens, slots, variants, and code-to-design sync.

How It Works

You start by choosing inspect (read-only audit) or build (create/extend). Inspect mode runs six quality modules (token compliance, interactive states, WCAG accessibility, detached instances, naming quality, and component descriptions) and produces a scored report. Build mode walks you through six sequential phases: discover your design language, set up token foundations, structure your Figma file, build components with proper bindings and slots, validate everything, and optionally export tokens.css and AI rules to sync back to your codebase. The skill pauses between major stages for your review and decision.

Included Skill Groups

Key Features

Dual-Mode Operation

Inspect mode for read-only audits with WCAG checks and component scoring; Build mode for creating or extending design systems with enforced best practices.

Six Audit Modules

Automatic checks for token compliance (with severity tiers), interactive state completeness, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, detached instances, naming quality, and mandatory component descriptions.

Weighted Readiness Scoring

Score each component 0–100 with errors weighted 1.0, warnings 0.3, state gaps 3.0 — reveals which components break downstream code generation most.

Slots-Based Composition

Modern alternative to detach patterns: add named slots to compound components (Card, Modal, Dialog) for variable inner content while preserving instance integrity.

Three-Layer Indirection in Code Export

tokens.css maps upstream tokens → project aliases with fallback → component references, allowing safe swaps of design systems and offline fallbacks.
