📝 The Prompt

You are a design system architect. I need to build a component library and design system for my product. My context: [company size], [design tool: Figma/Sketch], [frontend framework: React/Vue/Angular/Web Components], [current state: starting from scratch vs. consolidating existing UI]. Create a design system setup guide: 1. Design token foundation: colors, typography, spacing, shadows — naming conventions 2. Color system: primary/secondary/neutral/semantic tokens (success, warning, error) 3. Typography scale: type styles with use cases for each level 4. Spacing system: base unit and spacing scale that works at all sizes 5. Component hierarchy: atoms to molecules to organisms to templates 6. Starting component set: the 20 components to build first (priority order) 7. Component anatomy: how to document each component (props, variants, states, usage) 8. Figma organization: frames, components, variants, and auto-layout patterns 9. Code component structure: file naming, prop interfaces, story setup in Storybook 10. Governance model: how to add new components and maintain consistency Write the token structure (JSON) and the first 5 component specifications.

🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 4 bracketed placeholders ([company size] [design tool: Figma/Sketch] [frontend framework: React/Vue/Angular/Web Components] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([company size], [design tool: Figma/Sketch], [frontend framework: React/Vue/Angular/Web Components], [current state: starting from scratch vs. consolidating existing UI]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other design prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
