|
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
|
|
|
|
Based on analysis, I recommend a phased approach starting with
|
|
token extraction and color consolidation, followed by core
|
|
component development.
|
|
|
|
CURRENT STATE ASSESSMENT
|
|
|
|
Project: React + TypeScript
|
|
Components: 45 identified
|
|
Style approach: Mix of CSS modules and styled-components
|
|
Consistency score: 3/10 (significant variation)
|
|
|
|
Key findings:
|
|
- 156 unique color values (target: 12-15)
|
|
- 34 spacing values (target: 6-8)
|
|
- 8 button variants (target: 1 component with variants)
|
|
|
|
PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE
|
|
|
|
Token Structure:
|
|
├── primitives/
|
|
│ ├── colors.json (base colors)
|
|
│ ├── typography.json (fonts, scales)
|
|
│ └── spacing.json (spacing scale)
|
|
├── semantic/
|
|
│ ├── colors.json (primary, secondary, etc.)
|
|
│ └── components.json (component-specific tokens)
|
|
└── themes/
|
|
├── light.json
|
|
└── dark.json
|
|
|
|
Component Strategy:
|
|
- Atomic design methodology
|
|
- Compound component patterns for complex UI
|
|
- TypeScript for type safety
|
|
- Storybook for documentation
|
|
|
|
IMPLEMENTATION PHASES
|
|
|
|
Phase 1: Token Foundation
|
|
- Extract and consolidate colors
|
|
- Define spacing scale
|
|
- Create typography system
|
|
- Set up style-dictionary
|
|
|
|
Phase 2: Core Components
|
|
- Button, Input, Card, Modal
|
|
- Layout primitives (Box, Stack, Grid)
|
|
- Typography components
|
|
|
|
Phase 3: Extended System
|
|
- Complex components
|
|
- Full documentation
|
|
- Testing suite
|
|
|
|
RECOMMENDATIONS
|
|
|
|
1. Start with color tokens (biggest impact)
|
|
2. Use CSS custom properties for flexibility
|
|
3. Implement dark mode from start
|
|
4. Document as you build
|
|
|
|
NEXT STEPS
|
|
|
|
1. Run /dss-extract to create initial tokens
|
|
2. Review and refine token names
|
|
3. Generate theme files with /dss-generate
|
|
4. Begin Button component refactor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
