Goal
Build an AI-usable design system from accurate tokens, component behavior, and examples.
Step-by-step
- Inventory current usage.
- define semantic roles.
- document states.
- validate generated work against real components.
Worked scenario
Generate a form with the existing field and validation components.
Write down the current behavior, the intended change, and the evidence you would need before deciding it worked. Use synthetic or anonymized material for exploration.
Acceptance check
Agent output uses the system instead of inventing lookalike controls.
Common failure
A convincing artifact can hide untested assumptions. Keep an explicit list of unknowns and test the highest-consequence transition before expanding the work.
Next step
Apply the guide to one bounded task, review the evidence, and adjust the approach. The linked reference is a separate publication; this guide is Knoveya's independent treatment of the topic.
