tomevault-io Design System Management
Purpose
Maintain a consistent, scalable design system for riksdagsmonitor using CSS custom properties, component patterns, and the cyberpunk aesthetic theme across all 14 language versions.
Core Principles
- Single Source of Truth: All design tokens in CSS custom properties
- Component-Based: Reusable, composable UI components
- Theme Consistency: Cyberpunk aesthetic across all pages
- Accessibility Built-In: WCAG 2.1 AA compliant by default
- Responsive: Mobile-first, fluid scaling
- Performance: Minimal CSS, efficient selectors

}
When to Use
- New Page Creation: Apply design system tokens
- Component Development: Use or extend component library
- UI Refactoring: Standardize inconsistent styles
- Theme Updates: Modify CSS custom properties
- Responsive Design: Use fluid spacing/typography
- Accessibility Enhancements: Leverage built-in WCAG compliance
Remember
- Use CSS custom properties - never hard-code colors/sizes
- Component-first approach - reuse existing components
- Mobile-first - design for smallest screen first
- Accessibility built-in - 4.5:1 contrast, 44x44px touch targets
- Cyberpunk theme - neon accents, dark backgrounds, glow effects
- Fluid scaling - use clamp() for responsive typography
- Performance - minimal CSS, efficient selectors
- Consistency - same patterns across all 14 languages
