I agree. There's a link to another article[1] where they describe their design system, but it doesn't provide much extra insight for me. They have a good diagram, but they don't define the pieces of it well enough for me to understand the whole system (that said I've never built one).
From the page I mention:
> Effective design systems rely on strong foundations through at least three core pieces: principles, styling infrastructure (design tokens), and basic elements.
Cool but what does that look like? I think it's key because they do say that a well-built design system is what makes it possible for AIs to build out interfaces for you, and given what I know of LLMs that does make the most sense. The more certainty you provide the system the better it does at accomplishing your goals.
