GTS Design System Integration

Quick Workflow

1. Identify the app type and current styling stack.
2. Align dependencies and Tailwind v4 tooling.
3. Set up one Tailwind css entrypoint and correct import order.
4. Import GTS css once at the app root.
5. Remove conflicting token/theme/global style sources.
6. Apply GTS layout and typography patterns.
7. For complex pages (for example configurator screens), compose reusable layout sections and variant-driven states.
8. Validate build, lint, and visual output.

Guardrails

• Treat

  gts-central-library

  as the styling source of truth.
• Keep app behavior and routing unchanged during migration.
• Keep local css minimal and app-specific.
• Avoid duplicate semantic variable systems.
• Keep Tailwind configuration modern (v4 syntax/tooling) and avoid legacy layering patterns.
• Prefer GTS components and token-backed values over one-off styles.
• For configurator implementations, model screen states as explicit variants (

  summary

  ,

  style

  ,

  personalize

  , etc.) instead of duplicating near-identical page code.
• Reuse existing primitives (

  Header

  ,

  USPBar

  ,

  ActionBar

  ,

  Button

  ,

  SearchBar

  , token utilities) before introducing new components.
• Keep configurator sections data-driven (accordion rows, swatches, option grids) so behavior and structure stay consistent across variants.
• Add Storybook coverage for each major layout state; do not create separate stories for transient interactive states (hover/focus/pressed).
