Technical Specification

Design System Registry

The machine-readable, two-layer formal specification of every UI component. The DSR is the single source of truth that bridges AI intent and brand-compliant rendering.

// 01. Concept

The Data Contract

The DSR is not a component library. It is a formal contract — a structured data file that describes each component at two levels:

Layer A: Agent Layer — What it means, when it is effective, and what data it requires.
Layer B: Renderer Layer — How it looks, behaves, and adapts across devices.

Architectural Note

The DSR is authored by humans but read by machines. It eliminates the need for manual layout coding by providing a strictly typed bridge between reasoning and execution.

Strict Zod Typing
Runtime validation of all AI outputs
Semantic Mapping
Intent matched to Journey Stage
Atomic Tokens
Pixel-perfect brand compliance

The Two-Layer Model

Layer A

Agent Layer

The reasoning metadata used by LLMs to select and populate components.

  • Journey Stages (Awareness, Decision, etc.)
  • Emotional States (Anxious, Exploratory)
  • Content Schema (Zod Fields)
  • Composition & Anti-Patterns
Layer B

Renderer Layer

The visual and behavioral spec consumed by the frontend engine.

  • Design Tokens (Spacing, Color, Type)
  • Visual Variants (Dark, Light, Premium)
  • Micro-interactions & Animations
  • Responsive Breakpoint Overrides
// 03. Protocol

Component Lifecycle

Adding a component is a formal process from intent to pixel. Each node must complete this validation cycle to ensure the generative engine remains stable and precise.

01
Intent
Define Journey Stage & UX Goal
02
Schema
Map required data fields & constraints
03
Visuals
Apply tokens & define theme variants
04
Flows
Specify animations & interactions
05
Audit
TypeScript Zod validation check
