    The hot take

    Engineers love the token table. Designers can't find the usage rules. Classic split.

    What's working

    • ✓

      Live component playground with code export — top-tier adoption driver (per Spotify's Encore postmortems).

    • ✓

      Token semantic naming follows USWDS conventions, making cross-team translation effortless.

    • ✓

      Versioned changelog signals maturity and gives PM teams confidence to commit roadmap dependencies.

    Where it burns

    • !

      Do / Don't examples are buried below the fold — usage rules are the #1 reason systems fail adoption.

    • !

      Search returns components but not patterns or principles — half the system is invisible to newcomers.

    • !

      Dark-mode tokens documented but contrast tested only in light mode — accessibility blind spot.

    The verdict — projected outcome
    High confidence

    Promote do/don't examples to the top of every component page. Adoption typically jumps 30–40% within a quarter.
