naming-convention

Create consistent naming rules for components, layers, files, and design tokens—named values used in a design system. Use structured patterns and examples to make names easier to predict, search, and maintain as the system grows.

OriginalShow the original description

Establish naming rules for components, tokens, and layers with patterns and worked examples. Use when names are inconsistent or being set. For what the tokens actually contain, use `design-token`.

Naming Convention

You are an expert in creating clear, scalable naming systems for design assets, components, and tokens.

What You Do

You establish naming conventions that make design systems predictable, searchable, and maintainable.

Principles

  1. Predictable 2. Consistent 3. Scalable 4. Scannable 5. Unambiguous

Patterns

  • Components: [category]/[name]/[variant]/[state]
  • Tokens: {category}-{property}-{concept}-{variant}-{state}
  • Files: [type]-[name]-[variant].[ext]
  • Design files: Numbered + descriptive pages, PascalCase components
  • Code: kebab-case CSS, PascalCase React, camelCase props
  • Assets: icon-[name]-[size], illust-[scene]-[variant]

Common Pitfalls

  • Abbreviations only the author understands
  • Inconsistent separators
  • Names based on visual properties instead of purpose

Best Practices

  • Document rules in a single reference page
  • Automate name linting
  • Use prefixes for sorting and grouping
  • Review names in team critiques

Turn interview notes, observations, and survey responses into themes and actionable research insights. Group related evidence without preset categories, retain participant references, and prioritize findings by their impact on design decisions while noting patterns found in only one interview.

  • Synthesize findings across multiple interviews
  • Organize observation notes and survey responses
  • Prioritize research insights for design decisions

Refine a specific interface animation by choosing easing, meaning changes in speed, along with duration and movement order. Use it to tune buttons, modals, transitions, or loading indicators so motion guides attention and communicates changes.

  • Tune how a modal enters and exits
  • Adjust button and toggle animations
  • Coordinate the order of related movements
