Design System Checklist is a free, open-source checklist covering everything a team should think about when planning, building, or growing a design system: design language, tokens, core components, tooling, and project management.
It's structured as an actual checklist rather than a long article, so a team can work through it item by item and see exactly what's missing from their current setup instead of reading advice they have to translate into action themselves.
Teams starting a design system from scratch, or auditing an existing one that's grown organically without a clear plan.
Use it as a gap-finder early in a project, then move to a documentation platform like Zeroheight or Supernova once the checklist surfaces what actually needs building.
An open-source checklist to help you build a design system properly.
