name: design-system-audit description: Review design system usage and gaps role_groups: [design, product] jtbd: | Design systems drift and gaps appear. This scans projects for design system mentions, identifies inconsistencies or gaps, suggests components to build, and tracks adoption so your design system stays healthy and useful. time_investment: "20-30 minutes per audit"

Purpose

Audit design system health, identify gaps, and track adoption.

Usage

• /design-system-audit - Full design system review

Steps

1. Scan for design system usage:

   • Search 04-Projects/ for component mentions
   • Identify which components are used frequently
   • Find custom implementations (should use system)

2. Identify gaps:

   • Patterns appearing in multiple places
   • Requested components
   • Missing design system coverage

3. Check consistency:

   • Are teams using system components?
   • Custom implementations vs. system
   • Deviation from standards

4. Track adoption:

   • % of projects using design system
   • Common reasons for not using
   • Barriers to adoption

5. Recommend improvements:

   • Components to add
   • Documentation needs
   • Adoption initiatives
