This document discusses design systems and atomic design. It introduces atomic design as a methodology for creating interface design systems in a hierarchical way from small reusable components (atoms) up to full pages. It then provides details on how to create a designers kit, which includes style guides, pattern libraries, and mockups/templates. Finally, it outlines pros and cons of design systems, such as increased consistency but higher upfront costs.
