System Deconstruction

Take a design system apart. Understand every decision.

How to use

  • /system-deconstruction Apply system analysis constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

System Layers

  • MUST identify and evaluate each layer independently:
    • Token layer: colors, spacing, radii, shadows, type scale
    • Component layer: buttons, inputs, cards, modals, navigation
    • Pattern layer: forms, tables, dashboards, settings, onboarding
    • Layout layer: grids, breakpoints, density modes
  • MUST check consistency within each layer and between layers

Quality Signals

  • Consistent spacing scale across all components
  • Type scale that follows a mathematical ratio
  • Color palette with clear, non-overlapping roles
  • Components that compose predictably
  • States that are systematically covered (not ad-hoc)

Quality Warnings

  • More than 3 one-off components that don't fit the system
  • Spacing values that almost match but don't (15px next to 16px)
  • Colors that serve different semantic roles in different contexts
  • Components that look similar but behave differently

Anti-Patterns

  • Evaluating a design system by its documentation instead of its actual usage
  • Ignoring the gap between what the system defines and what the product actually ships
  • Treating the system as sacred (systems should serve products, not the other way around)
