- **Brand name**: [BRAND]
- **Brand personality**: MINIMAL / BOLD / LUXURY / PLAYFUL / MODERN / TECHNICAL (pick or describe)

## Deliverables

Produce a complete, production-ready design system including:

### 1. Color System
- Primary, secondary, semantic, and neutral palettes
- Dark mode equivalents for every color

### 2. Typography Framework
- 9-step type scale with font pairing rationale

### 3. Spatial System
- 8px grid foundation with spacing tokens

### 4. Component Library
- 30+ components with interaction states and usage rules

### 5. Responsive Layout Patterns
- Breakpoints and adaptive behavior logic for all components

### 6. Animation Principles
- Transition curves, durations, and micro-interaction animation philosophy

### 7. Accessibility Standards
- WCAG AA compliance guidance and contrast ratios throughout

## Export Formats

Deliver in three formats:

1. **Design tokens** — JSON structure

3. **Figma-ready component documentation**

## Output Goal

This output will power the visual foundation inside Figma Make. Format all specs for direct handoff — no further interpretation required.
