Expose Your Design System to LLMs
LLMs fabricate design token values, lose context between sessions, and make inconsistent micro-decisions when building prototypes, resulting in designs that feel "off" despite individual choices appearing reasonable. The solution involves restructuring design systems into LLM-readable spec files, a closed token layer, and automated auditing to catch violations. This approach ensures consistent visual quality across multiple AI coding sessions by preventing LLMs from guessing design values.
