A guide for periodically reviewing the health, consistency, and adoption of your design system.
Are there common UI patterns in the product that are not yet components in the system?
Are existing components used consistently across different features? Are there any "snowflake" variations?
Are developers using color tokens, or are there hard-coded hex values in the codebase?
Are text styles and spacing tokens being applied correctly? Check for overrides.
Is the documentation for each component clear? Does it include usage guidelines, do's, and don'ts?
Have you surveyed the design and development teams to identify pain points or missing features in the system?
