Articles about design systems, AI tooling, and building better component libraries.

What Is Design System Governance?

A practical guide to design system governance: what it is, who owns it, which workflows matter, which metrics to track, and how UI governance changes in the age of AI-generated UI.

What Is Fragments?

Fragments is a design system governance platform for AI-generated UI. It helps teams govern components, tokens, MCP workflows, and design drift across the software delivery lifecycle.

Base UI Components with Fragments: Accessible Styling and Metadata at Scale

How Fragments builds on Base UI components and adds accessible styling, design tokens, and metadata for larger-scale design system workflows.

AI-Native Design System Architecture for React Teams

A practical AI-native design system architecture for React teams: component docs, design tokens, metadata compilation, and MCP integration.

Design System CLI Workflows for Component Libraries

How to structure design system CLI workflows for component libraries so metadata builds, docs, AI tools, and CI checks stay in sync.

React Component Library with Design Tokens: A Practical Architecture

A practical architecture for combining a React component library with design tokens, component docs, and AI-ready metadata using Fragments.

Accessible React Component Library: What to Look For (and How Fragments Works)

How to evaluate an accessible React component library and how Fragments combines accessibility guidance, component docs, and AI-ready metadata.

Using Fragments MCP in Claude for Design System-Aware UI Workflows

Set up Fragments MCP in Claude so Claude can inspect real component metadata, props, and usage guidance before generating UI code.

Using Fragments MCP in Cursor for Design System-Aware UI Generation

Configure Fragments MCP in Cursor so AI can generate UI using your real component docs, props, and design tokens instead of generic markup.

The Science Behind AI Component Generation

Why AI hallucinates component APIs, why examples beat parameter lists, and what six research papers tell us about building design systems that AI can actually use.

MCP Tools for Design Systems: Practical Workflows for React Teams

Practical MCP tools for design systems workflows: how React teams use Fragments to query components and tokens, then check conformance through a hosted endpoint.

Give the AI a Database, Not a Document

Context dumps go stale. Rules files get ignored when the AI is confident. Workflow configs live outside your repo and nobody updates them. Here's the pattern that actually enforces consistency.

4 Hosted MCP Tools That Make AI Understand Your Design System

A deep dive into the hosted Fragments MCP tools for primitive discovery, token lookup, deterministic fixes, and compliance proof loops.

Make Your Design System AI-Native

AI can build apps, but the output is often inconsistent. Here's how Fragments makes your design system AI-native with MCP tools, structured fragments, and seed-based theming.
