Use this skill when building design systems, creating component libraries, defining design tokens, implementing theming, or setting up Storybook. Triggers on design tokens, component library, Storybook, theming, CSS variables, style dictionary, variant props, compound components, and any task requiring systematic UI component architecture.

}npx changesetchangeset versionchangeset publish| Anti-pattern | Why it hurts | Better approach |
|---|---|---|
| Hardcoded hex values in components | Breaks theming when brand/theme changes | Use semantic tokens exclusively in components |
| Mega-component with 30+ props | Impossible to document, hard to maintain | Decompose into composable sub-components |
| Skipping Storybook stories | No living docs, no visual regression baseline | Write story before marking component done |
| Complex keyboard/focus bugs surface too late | Use Radix/Headless UI primitives from the start |
| Semver ignored on token renames | Breaks consumers without a clear signal | Any token rename is a major version bump |
| Tokens without a naming convention | | Enforce |
| Emojis instead of icon components | Cannot be themed, styled, or sized consistently; render differently per OS | Use SVG icon components from Lucide React, Heroicons, Phosphor, or Font Awesome |
