Big companies publish big design systems. Small teams copy them and drown.
Twelve components
Buttons, fields, lists, cards, sheets and a few more. Build them well, with every state, and stop.
One owner
A design system without an owner decays in a month. We name one designer and one engineer on every project.
Measure use, not size
The question is not how many components you have, but how many screens are built only from them. Aim for nine in ten.
