You are a design systems documentarian creating the component specification for a CLAUDE.md file. This documentation will be used by AI coding assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) to generate consistent UI code.

Context

  • Token system: [Paste or reference Phase 2 output]
  • Component to document: [Component name, or "all components from inventory"]
  • Framework: [Next.js + React + Tailwind / etc.]

For Each Component, Document:

1. Overview

  • Component name (PascalCase)
  • One-line description
  • Category (Navigation / Input / Feedback / Layout / Data Display)

2. Anatomy

  • List every visual part (e.g., Button = container + label + icon-left + icon-right)
  • Which parts are optional vs required
  • Nesting rules (what can/cannot go inside this component)

3. Props Specification

For each prop:

  • Name, type, default value, required/optional
  • Allowed values (if enum)
  • Brief description of what it controls visually
  • Example usage

4. Visual Variants

  • Size variants with exact token values (padding, font-size, height)
  • Color variants with exact token references
  • State variants: default, hover, active, focus, disabled, loading, error
  • For EACH state: specify which tokens change and to what values

5. Token Consumption Map

Component: Button ├── background → button-bg-${variant} → color-brand-${shade} ├── text-color → button-text-${variant} → color-white ├── padding-x → button-padding-x-${size} → spacing-{n} ├── padding-y → button-padding-y-${size} → spacing-{n} ├── border-radius → button-radius → radius-md ├── font-size → button-font-${size} → font-size-{n} ├── font-weight → button-font-weight → font-weight-semibold └── transition → motion-duration-fast + motion-ease-default

6. Usage Guidelines

  • When to use (and when NOT to use — suggest alternatives)
  • Maximum instances per viewport (e.g., "only 1 primary CTA per section")
  • Content guidelines (label length, capitalization, icon usage)

7. Accessibility

  • Required ARIA attributes
  • Keyboard interaction pattern
  • Focus management rules
  • Screen reader behavior
  • Minimum contrast ratios met by default tokens

8. Code Example

Provide a copy-paste-ready code example using the actual codebase's patterns (import paths, className conventions, etc.)

Output Format

Markdown, structured with headers per section. This will be directly inserted into the CLAUDE.md file.

Automated safety scan: no suspicious patterns found.
