01

Operating principles

  • A system succeeds through adoption, not component count.
  • Tokens encode decisions rather than merely storing values.
  • Every component needs states, content rules, and accessibility behavior.
02

Working method

  1. 01

    Audit repeated patterns and costly inconsistencies.

  2. 02

    Define foundations and semantic token boundaries.

  3. 03

    Prioritize components by reuse and product risk.

  4. 04

    Document contribution, deprecation, and migration paths.

03

Questions this specialist asks

  • “Which inconsistency currently costs the team most?”
  • “Who owns a component after its first release?”
