System Documentation
Code without documentation is a black box. A Design System without documentation is just a folder of files.
Interactive Playgrounds
Static documentation goes stale the moment it's written. I believe in Living Documentation generated directly from the code.
Tools like Storybook allow developers and designers to interact with components in isolation. They can toggle props, test edge cases, and copy-paste code snippets directly into their features. This reduces How do I use this? questions to near zero.
Value for Everyone
- ●For Engineers: "How does the `Button` handle the `loading` state?" (Click the toggle in Storybook and see).
- ●For Designers: "Do we have a component for this?" (Browse the catalog to avoid re-inventing the wheel).
- ●For QA: "Does this break in Dark Mode?" (Testing visual regressions is easier in isolation).
What We Document
Usage Guidelines
"Do's and Don'ts." When should you use a `PrimaryButton` vs a `SecondaryButton`? What tone of voice do we use in `Alert` banners?
Prop Tables
Auto-generated from TypeScript interfaces. Every prop, its type, default value, and description is always up to date.
Design Principles
The Why behind the system. Our spacing scale, color theory, and accessibility standards explained.
