Vue Storybook |
A token‑driven UI library whose look & feel can be tweaked in Figma and—via Token Studio—propagated to React components in seconds, guaranteeing pixel‑perfect brand consistency without hand‑off friction.
Kurocado Studio’s Design System delivers a single source of truth for typography, color, spacing, and interaction patterns across web and mobile products. Designers iterate visually in Figma; Token Studio syncs the updated design tokens to the codebase, and Storybook reflects the changes instantly—so product teams ship new features faster while staying perfectly on‑brand.
Objectives
Visual Consistency – Every product or feature shares the same visual language—from tokens to fully composed components.
Development Velocity – Ready‑to‑use React (and soon Remix/Vue) components eliminate repetitive UI rebuilds.
Accessibility by Default – Components conform to WCAG 2.1 AA out‑of‑the‑box via baked‑in ARIA patterns and semantic markup.
Client Customization – Fork‑friendly architecture lets clients publish their own variant (e.g.
@client/design-system) while keeping the token‑sync workflow.
Use Cases
Internal Product Teams – Prototype, iterate, and launch interfaces with a shared library and zero visual drift.
External Collaborators – Freelance designers or agencies adopt the same Storybook doc site to stay aligned—no redundant asset hand‑offs.
Client Projects – Clients inherit the system to maintain best‑practice UX while skinning tokens to match their brand guidelines.
Proof‑of‑Concept Sprint – Swap a token set in Figma, sync through Token Studio, and demo a fully re‑themed product in hours.
Scope & Constraints
In Scope
Core Component Library – Buttons, forms, nav, layout primitives.
Design Tokens – Color, typography, spacing, radii, shadows.
Live Documentation – Storybook with usage guidelines and code snippets.
Accessibility Hooks – Pre‑configured behaviors and tests.
CI/CD – Lint, test, and publish via GitHub Actions.
Out of Scope
Complex Platform Widgets – Data‑grid, rich‑text editor (future).
Content i18n – Requires discovery for token localization.
Constraints
Balance branding flexibility with system‑wide consistency.
Limited initial resourcing—focus on highest‑impact primitives first.
Seamless integration with Token Studio, Storybook, GitHub Actions.
