Trace your primary brand colour through your project. It's in the tokens file, the DESIGN.md, the AGENTS.md rule, a Figma Skill, and the Storybook manifest. Same decision. Five surfaces. None auto-derived.

I've started calling it design system archaeology. The work of reading a system you didn't build. You want to rebuild it. Don't. The mess is usually context you don't have. Yet.

AI tooling for design systems has matured. The operational work hasn't kept up.

Token audits. Deprecation plans. Drift detection. Stakeholder briefs.

I tidied up the Claude Code skills I've used for that work, and put them somewhere public.

New article on the blog! 📚

Most design systems teams are deep in the technical work of AI readiness.

Cleaner tokens, better documentation, semantic component naming. That work matters.

What's less discussed is what happens when it actually works.

I gave UI components D&D Challenge Ratings based on how dangerous they become when misused.

The Data Table is CR 8. Legendary. It has consumed entire sprints.

The summoner bears responsibility for what they've conjured.
