## Workflows

### Workflow 1: Generate Design Tokens

**Situation:** You have a brand color and need a complete design token system.

**Steps:**

1. **Identify brand color and style**
   - Brand primary color (hex format)
   - Style preference: `modern` | `classic` | `playful`

2. **Generate tokens using script**
   ```bash
   python scripts/design_token_generator.py "#0066CC" modern json
   ```

3. **Review generated categories**
   - Colors: primary, secondary, neutral, semantic, surface
   - Typography: fontFamily, fontSize, fontWeight, lineHeight
   - Spacing: 8pt grid-based scale (0-64)
   - Borders: radius, width
   - Shadows: none through 2xl
   - Animation: duration, easing
   - Breakpoints: xs through 2xl

4. **Export in target format**
   ```bash
   # CSS custom properties
   python scripts/design_token_generator.py "#0066CC" modern css > design-tokens.css

   # SCSS variables
   python scripts/design_token_generator.py "#0066CC" modern scss > _design-tokens.scss

   # JSON for Figma/tooling
   python scripts/design_token_generator.py "#0066CC" modern json > design-tokens.json
   ```

5. **Validate accessibility**
   - Check color contrast meets WCAG AA (4.5:1 normal, 3:1 large text)
   - Verify semantic colors have contrast colors defined

---

### Workflow 2: Create Component System

**Situation:** You need to structure a component library using design tokens.

**Steps:**

1. **Define component hierarchy**
   - Atoms: Button, Input, Icon, Label, Badge
   - Molecules: FormField, SearchBar, Card, ListItem
   - Organisms: Header, Footer, DataTable, Modal
   - Templates: DashboardLayout, AuthLayout

2. **Map tokens to components**

   | Component | Tokens Used |
   |-----------|-------------|
   | Button | colors, sizing, borders, shadows, typography |
   | Input | colors, sizing, borders, spacing |
   | Card | colors, borders, shadows, spacing |
   | Modal | colors, shadows, spacing, z-index, animation |

3. **Define variant patterns**

   Size variants:
   ```
   sm: height 32px, paddingX 12px, fontSize 14px
   md: height 40px, paddingX 16px, fontSize 16px
   lg: height 48px, paddingX 20px, fontSize 18px
   ```

   Color variants:
   ```
   primary: background primary-500, text white
   secondary: background neutral-100, text neutral-900
   ghost: background transparent, text neutral-700
   ```

4. **Document component API**
   - Props interface with types
   - Variant options
   - State handling (hover, active, focus, disabled)
   - Accessibility requirements

5. **Reference:** See `references/component-architecture.md`

---

### Workflow 3: Responsive Design

**Situation:** You need breakpoints, fluid typography, or responsive spacing.

**Steps:**

1. **Define breakpoints**

   | Name | Width | Target |
   |------|-------|--------|
   | xs | 0 | Small phones |
   | sm | 480px | Large phones |
   | md | 640px | Tablets |
   | lg | 768px | Small laptops |
   | xl | 1024px | Desktops |
   | 2xl | 1280px | Large screens |

2. **Calculate fluid typography**

   Formula: `clamp(min, preferred, max)`

   ```css
   /* 16px to 24px between 320px and 1200px viewport */
   font-size: clamp(1rem, 0.5rem + 2vw, 1.5rem);
   ```

   Pre-calculated scales:
   ```css
   --fluid-h1: clamp(2rem, 1rem + 3.6vw, 4rem);
   --fluid-h2: clamp(1.75rem, 1rem + 2.3vw, 3rem);
   --fluid-h3: clamp(1.5rem, 1rem + 1.4vw, 2.25rem);
   --fluid-body: clamp(1rem, 0.95rem + 0.2vw, 1.125rem);
   ```

3. **Set up responsive spacing**

   | Token | Mobile | Tablet | Desktop |
   |-------|--------|--------|---------|
   | --space-md | 12px | 16px | 16px |
   | --space-lg | 16px | 24px | 32px |
   | --space-xl | 24px | 32px | 48px |
   | --space-section | 48px | 80px | 120px |

4. **Reference:** See `references/responsive-calculations.md`

---

### Workflow 4: Developer Handoff

**Situation:** You need to hand off design tokens to development team.

**Steps:**

1. **Export tokens in required formats**
   ```bash
   # For CSS projects
   python scripts/design_token_generator.py "#0066CC" modern css

   # For SCSS projects
   python scripts/design_token_generator.py "#0066CC" modern scss

   # For JavaScript/TypeScript
   python scripts/design_token_generator.py "#0066CC" modern json
   ```

2. **Prepare framework integration**

   **React + CSS Variables:**
   ```tsx
   import './design-tokens.css';

   <button className="btn btn-primary">Click</button>
   ```

   **Tailwind Config:**
   ```javascript
   const tokens = require('./design-tokens.json');

   module.exports = {
     theme: {
       colors: tokens.colors,
       fontFamily: tokens.typography.fontFamily
     }
   };
   ```

   **styled-components:**
   ```typescript
   import tokens from './design-tokens.json';

   const Button = styled.button`
     background: ${tokens.colors.primary['500']};
     padding: ${tokens.spacing['2']} ${tokens.spacing['4']};
   `;
   ```

3. **Sync with Figma**
   - Install Tokens Studio plugin
   - Import design-tokens.json
   - Tokens sync automatically with Figma styles

4. **Handoff checklist**
   - [ ] Token files added to project
   - [ ] Build pipeline configured
   - [ ] Theme/CSS variables imported
   - [ ] Component library aligned
   - [ ] Documentation generated

5. **Reference:** See `references/developer-handoff.md`
